Walker's First Tooth

Walker has finally lost his first tooth! He has been waiting and waiting to lose one. Ever since he started kindergarten all his friends have been loosing their teeth and Walker keeps asking when he would. Well, one week ago it started getting loose on an apple he ate and ever since he worked so hard on it. Last night after wanting to pull it so bad he knocked it loose playing around outside. He was SOOOO EXCITED!!

Walker put his tooth under his pillow and the next morning woke me up at 6:30 telling me his tooth was gone but NO MONEY!! The tooth fairy had messed up...thankfully, I sneaked in bed with him and put the money under the other pillow and he found it. Close call for the tooth fairy!!

Carter's Lake

We had a great day yesterday visiting with old friends. Growing up my parents had some really close couples we did everything with. Since all the kids have grown and have had children we never see each other anymore. So yesterday we all gathered up at Carter's lake for a day of fun. We all brought a picnic enjoyed a wonderful devotion, and spent the rest of the day playing games. We had a great time!!!

Carter's Lake is a beautiful place to visit. The kids were so excited to see there "first" Mountain.

Pics by Amy

A couple of weeks ago Amy took some pictures of the kids for me since Reese was turning 3 and Ivy was 18 months. It took a lot of work but we finally got a couple of shots. As the kids have gotten older, it is a lot harder for them to sit and smile!!!

Reese 3 years old!

Ivy- 18 months old

Walker- 6 years old

Reese did have a good time hamming it up...this one's my favorite!

Baseball

Walker started Fall Baseball and had his first game last night. He has been so excited about playing and couldn't wait. Every since he could walk Walker could throw and hit a ball. Baseball is defiantly something Walker will be good at. I know I am bragging but isn't that what mommy's are suppose to do!! For his first game he had two great hits and made two outs at first base!!! So proud of him!

Walker's fan club-2 proud grandpas and 2 little sisters!!

Reese's Goes to Preschool!

Reese started her first day of preschool about two weeks ago. I was really nervous she would not like it since she cries when we leave her for Sunday school. But to my surprise, she LOVES it. She went straight in her class the first day and loved it!! When I picked her up she told me all about her day and had the biggest smile.
