Priceless

Please pray for our baby girl this morning. She is getting tonsils out, tubes in and adnoids out. Pray that this isn't something rough for her. She's a trooper. :)







Emily and Thomas have always had a very special relationship, so here's a few of my favorite pictures of them together. :) They are so sweet and cute. Thomas sometimes gets a little tired of how much Emily LOVES him, but still loves her back every time. Emily sometimes doesn't even bother with him, but always finds time in her "busy" day to show him some sort of affection. I hope this lasts forever for them. It amazes me! :)

Fall Fun (Walker Style)

We had a terribly busy weekend this weekend. But so fun!!!!It started with Halloween parties at school. Actually it started with my parents coming over for ham and mashed potatoes on Wednesday night. YUMMY! Thursday was Angel's halloween party, I didn't go to hers, because I was trying to not wear out my all the time baby-sitters of my mom and mom-in-law. So she got dressed up (Enchanted Barbie) and sent with a bag of candy corn for her party. Returned with no candy corn in her bag? But excited to be wearing her costume, though as soon as she was home, "Can I wear my Cinderella costume?"(Her costume from last year) Is it ever enough? Thursday Evening I had my mom-in-law watch the kids until Bill got home because I had a Pampered Chef Show.

Friday was Isaiah's party to which my Mom baby sat so I could attend the party/parade/sweet fest.(Thanks mom) It was fun and cute to see all the kids in their costumes, there were 2 other spidermen in his class. They all had a good time. I did too. I had to bring napkins and a cheese tray, which went over better than expected. Isaiah was sent home with 3 cupcakes, as well as all the other kids in his class, 3 really? He had a great time.

One on one time is always fun. :)Friday night was family fun carnival at Isaiah's school. We went as soon as Bill got home. It was really fun. McDonald's was after the carnival. What a fun time to be a kid!!

Saturday afternoon Isaiah had a soccer, his last game is this weekend.

I had another show, Bill was on-call. Whoo. UGH. So much! So once again my mom (thank God!) watched the kids so we could both work. Got home from my show at 5.

Set right into trick or treating ready. We went to a trunk or treat at my sis-in-law's church and then just visited all of the families house. We also took advantage of the free ice cream and 50 cent corndogs at Sonic. We had a great time and kids were exhausted when we got home.

It was also time change. To which, I was exhausted and didn't change the clocks. Well apparently my wonderful amazing beautiful children thought that 5:50 was an awesome time to get up, usually 6:50, still early for them. Well I thought it was 7 ish. So showers, breakfast, ready for church before 9. Left at 9, got to church at 9:45, an amazing feat for me. Bill was sleeping and on-call so I was by my lonesome with the brood. (just for the morning)

Came home. Carved pumpkins :),

YES YES after Halloween, but just the same carved them.

Then Isaiah for the 100th time asked for pumpkin pie, so I made it.

Homemade.

He tried it at least 5 times and still didn't much care for it, but tried it and thanked me about 10 times for making it.

Such a sweet guy! Ahhhh. So there was our very busy, very FALL weekend!!! :) Enjoy the pics!

Baby

He is not much of a baby anymore. But just wanted to quick post ;)

Whenever I am transfering clothes washer to dryer and Thomas is around........This is what happens. I think it's funny and so does he. I just have to keep an eye on his brother and sisters to make sure they don't close him in there and start it. He is so adorable. I love the little things. Day to Day is how I should take it, but sometimes life can be overwhelming. Money is never enough, time is non-existent, but the LOVE is all that matters. I'm so blessed to have the wonderful life I have. I sometimes get stuck in a rut with so much to do. Watch, cook, clean, spend time with, shop, drinks, bills, mail, work, church, life is AHHHHH for me most days, but these little moments make it worth it. 4 kids is a lot, in case you didn't know!!!! I CAN wait for them to be teenagers, not at all prepared for that! haha.

Emily Turns 3!!!!

Yes our precious baby girl is now 3 years old. So So sweet. Most of the time. You would never guess by looking at her, but she has an extremely fiesty side. She is currently sitting next to me in the living room reading her book about God. "Do you see him, it's about God?" A picture of Jesus on the front of her book. She makes up the story as she goes along and is a riot to listen to. She only talks when she wants to. Remaining my shy silent type in public. Catching on to colors, shapes, numbers and letters everyday. She enjoys all alone time she can get. She loves watching "hospital" shows with me. Loves helping me, looks for a need and fulfills before I even have to request help most days. Which some days works against her. Gets embarassed very easily. Changes clothes and shoes a lot. She doesn't like to be dirty. She likes to be "like a princess." For her birthday they were all sick. My four kids decided to get croup and hold it for about 3 weeks, which very much wore me out. We had a small get together that weekend. On her birthday we had a regular dinner and gave her some chapstick (which she requests every day). She also got a new outfit and her favorite above ALL is her Bike. She got that at her party as well as her fried chicken dinner. Everyday since, (which has been almost a month now) asks to go outside and ride. She does extremely well on her bike. She is so sweet with us and makes my heart melt all the time. Keeps me laughing too!!! She tests well above a 3 year old level at the dr.'s fill out the sheet test and when she got her blood drawn and flu shot, did very well. She didn't cry at all for her blood, and just let out a little one for her shot. I told her she could have anything she wanted. She wanted to "go to Granny's". Her Nana and G-pa took her shopping for her birthday, she got socks, 2 pairs of converse shoes, one pink, one white. Hello Kitty chapstick, and hair ties. She had a good time and visited all of the shoe stores at the Ledgends more than once. :) What a girl. She also recieved a good amount of money from friends and family. Necklaces, bracelets, make-up, clothes, purses, and much more. I'm sure I forgot something. But cherishes everything. She asks for a snack as soon as we are done eating, and most times before breakfast. She loves getting her hair done. Still is our sweet sweet Emily. She still looks like me and is definately the definition of a second born child. What a girl. Sneaky sneaky and fights with her sister daily. Loves her brothers a lot. :) For her birthday requested balloons and soda. She is simple and loves the simple things, and sometimes can be not so simple. Hard to calm and silly. :) We love our Em! :)

Ice Cream and Sleep

Do those two go together? I think so. But in my pics, they did not occur on the same day. I met my Dad and Samantha at McDonalds with the girls and Thomas that day. On such day Thomas had his 1 year check up.

Stats :

29 lbs

32 in
Off the Charts

At this check up my poor baby recieved 7, yes 7 shots. Ahhhhh... that's so many. He did really well though. And as they said 7 days later ran a temp for 3 days as a result of the immunizations. He did really well though. Excited at Mc Donalds, lived up to the chicken nugget loving boy he is....4 nuggets this day. :) We decided we would have ice cream after letting the girls and Thomas play for a while. To which ALL were happy! Here are some pictures.

As soon as ice cream was over, and Papa got all the leftovers, the kids were off playing again. It did not last very long.....as the WORST CHILD IN THE WORLD had arrived during ice cream. I do not know his name or his parents name and wish to never see him again. His dirty face and clothes, his brothers awful attitude and his mommy's careless ways will NOT be forgotten. His Daddy's mowhawk and chains will not be either. I let my little boy run off to the slides and he wandered into the stair case to which very very quickly, me following him at a slower pace, letting him play with a watchful eye. He got BIT! NO!!!! Under the ear, Mike Tyson type of bit. I heard his cry after I asked him "TJ what are you doing in there?" I grabbed my son up and this mean little boy standing over top of him looked at me and the Bear in me shouted "WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM!!!" No answer. I walked away frantically searching my son for what had happend. His skin almost pierced and blue/red teeth marks showing well. I did not take a picture but I should have. My dad promptly shouted "What in the world is wrong with that kid" or something like that. I was lost in a "worried about my baby" world. The BITERS mom came over looked at my son, shrugged her not so friendly shoulders and very snottily said "sorry". Told her little boy I'm not picking you up and left him right where he wanted to be playing, to have a chance to bite someone else. We quickly left. And haven't been back for fear of seeing those awful people. :( The bite mark lasted for 4 days or so. ugh.

The ice cream was good, but overshadowed by the bite.

The kids all fell asleep on a trip to Olathe to see family recently and I took a few pictures, they are funny and it was fun.

Official Soccer Mom.

Isaiah started soccer on Thursday. We signed him up in July and this was his first practice. He kept calling the soccer coach his preacher? IDK why. He also talked his ear off the entire time. I heard a lot of "LOOK what I can DO!" It was very cute. And he also like every other kid ignored everything I ever told him before soccer and did it all. Left his ball for some other kid to play with. Talked to the coach the entire time. Did his own thing when he should have been listening to the coach. He's only 5 and no one on his team is over 6 so I don't think they will expect anything but running around and falling down and laughing. :) But hey, he went to soccer, had fun and met some new friends. Jim is on his team and is apparently someone from his class at school to which he was sooooo excited about. Jim is a little guy in all yellow soccer clothes and cleats. Wow! One kid showed up in jeans to which I said "Soccer practice in jeans?" No one answered my somewhat mumbled question. (haha). Isaiah absoloutely loves it and everyday since I have heard "Am I going to go to soccer today?" To which for a whole week the answer will be "NO" They are having some sort of Adult tournament so the practice fields will be used which means no practice. Boo.

We are excited about soccer too. The girls and Thomas are not so thrilled with the practice part and were pretty bored. I have to think outside the usual box of things to bring when we go out. Outside with other kids running around, I can only keep them still, with me and in sight for so long with drinks, snacks, and play telephones. I am left wondering is it too early to get a soccer ball window applique and put his name up there on the van?
