Late Weekend Update

We met my MIL, SIL, and niece Alexa for dinner at The Cove Friday night before the football game.  These three cuties definantly kept us entertained.  If you ask Walker where he wants to eat, he usually says "The Cove!"  Truth is he LOVES, and I mean LOVES their rolls.  That's usually all I can get him to eat, maybe a little macaroni on the side.  While we were waiting he kept asking Alexa if he could have a little bite of her roll (after he had ate his two).  She gave him a bite.  As we were leaving Walker had two bites of roll left, one in each hand.  Alexa ask him if she could have a bite and he immediately crammed BOTH bites into his mouth.  He then started crying hysterically because he hadn't shared his roll with Alexa.  Those two are as close as brother and sister.

Shannon's anchor on the "Walk of Fame" in the football stadium.  The Lakers started off the season with a win.  Hope it stays that way.

  On Sunday afternoon Will & Walker were invited to Charli's pool party.  Put Walker's lifejacket on and he is a little fish (and those are not his goggles~someone at the party layed them down and he decided to wear them).  I somehow missed pictures of the birthday girl.

Will had a blast.  They both came home and went straight to bed.

Friday Nap

Even Kindergarteners need naps!  Will missed his first day of school this week (can't believe we've made it this long) with strep throat.  He got to go back to school today.  But this afternoon after picking him up he was very grumpy so I told him to go lay down.  When I went to check on him he was fast asleep.

Will's 1st Day of Kindergarden

We survived the first two days of kindergarden.  Will has done great...and I only cried a few times.  Here is Will all ready for school.  I had an adorable little outfit picked out for him, but he didn't like it.  I decided it was more important to have a great first day of school, so we found a compromise.

Mrs. Tobie and Will - Will informed me this afternoon that he loved Mrs. Tobie, but he still loved me too.

Will building rocket ships right before I left.  He had so much fun on his first day!

Walker's 1st Day

Today was Walker's first day at the Little Learning Center.

Getting ready for "school".

And guess who was star student of the day...Walker!  Yay!!!!

Will & Walker's Day 2010

As is our annual tradition, the day before school starts Will & Walker get to choose what we do for the day.  This year they decided (with a suggestion from Mommy) we should go to the Kentucky Horse Park.  Of course they had to take their cowboy hates and got I got tons of compliments on what cute cowboys I had with me.  We were so glad Daddy had the day off also and got to join us.  Will told me at the end of the day that this was the best Will &Walker day ever, and he wanted to come back next year. 

We stopped for breakfast at Bread of Life and we had an unexpected visitor...we think the guy sitting at the table to the right is Santa Claus.  Will pointed out his beard was too short to be Santa Claus but we decided since it was summer he may trim it shorter.  Who knows?  I'm sure whoever he was he was wondering why Will kept starring at him.

Will riding Popeye.  Isn't his fly mask just hilarious!?!

Checking out one of the horses in the "Parade of Breeds" Barn.

Will & Walker sitting in one of the two "giant chairs" built in 1978, used with a giant table for horse jumping competitions.

I have to admit I had as much fun as Will & Walker did.  We ended our day by going to Will's Open House.  I'm trying not to even think about school starting.  How is it that he is already starting kindergarden? A funny story about Walker.  While walking, Shannon told Walker to hold his hand.  he replied, "Cowboys don't hold hands."  Tomorrow is his first day at the Little Learning Center.  I hope he loves it as much as Will did.

One more look at the Santa picture...what do you think?  (Actually I somehow got this picture on here and can't get it off)

 

  

Finger Painting

Painting before bedtime. 

Walker doesn't like basically anything on his hands so fingerpainting was out for him.  He used a paintbrush instead. 

 

Walker's creation

Will's picture of the beach

I have a plan for this one in the playroom...now if I could just get Walker to make one.

This is my FAVorite!  Will fingerpainted the stripes and then used his thumbprint for the "stars".  I think I might just have to frame this one.

Myrtle Beach

I had a hard time choosing some of my favorite beach pictures, so there are a lot.  Hope you enjoy!
