March Madness!


GO Gamecocks!

Its been a while since I have blogged so here goes! Lots to catch up on! Walker started playing t-ball recently (pictures to come) He is on the Tarheels team, which he and Conor are both thrilled about and he looks so darn cute in his uniform and baseball hat! T-ball has sparked some interest in baseball so Big Daddy (my Dad) gave Conor some tickets to take Walker to a Carolina Baseball game! It was the coldest day in March so they bundled up and headed out! I had to take some pics because they looked so cute! Especially Walker in his garnet and black (gamecock colors) and camoflage! It reminded me so much of my redneck brother back in the day when we used to go to gamecock games and he would rock his gamecock stuff with him camo stuff! True South Carolinians know what I am talking about!

I thought the two of them looked so cute in this picture and I especially love Walker's facial expressions!

I was so worried because our good friends The Dormans were coming to town for Easter weekend and we decided to go to the beach for the weekend! I was worried that I would have to sacrifice my seeing them, but we ended up getting to spend some good time with them Friday afternoon! You'll notice Zach is carrying on Walker's tradition with the tie die shirt! I hear from Marcy that he will not take it off. Walker went through a phaze with that shirt wear he called it his rainbow shirt and he seriously didn't take it off for a week. I think I had to hide it from him to finally get it off of him.

After Conor got home Friday we headed for the beach! I was so excited I actually had the car packed and the house was immaculate (so not me) and we were waiting in the driveway! I had not been to the beach since last summer and I had not seen my sister of my nephews since Christmas! The most exciting part was that this was the first Easter that Conor got to come spend the entire weekend with us at the beach! Did I mention I love his new job!

On Saturday we played on the beach for a while and took a long walk with the boys! The weather was incredible and William and Walker splashed in the ocean for a long time, but it was too cold for us! Later we had a golf cart ride and an egg hunt!



Walker will always pose for a picture!

Julian is never that excited to pose but always takes the best pictures! We had an awesome day in the sun with them and even caught a late afternoon movie and fabulous dinner at a new restaurant at Litchfield. Conor actually got to play golf with Dad... he was very excited! Sunday we woke up andWalker found his Easter basket and we headed to Robin's church! David sang an awesome song that he wrote for Easter. I can't remember any of the lyrics, but it really touched me. It was written from the point of view of the soldiers who crucified Christ. It showed how we just try to follow the worldly rules and commands of the world and in that we may be missing out on our savior.



Cousins are the best!

So are Daddy's!

Highlights From the Week!








I knew I would not be the best at keeping up with my posts so its a good thing we had several highlights this week to share with some really fun pictures! It all started Wednesday when Walker had "double dress-up" day! It was Mother Goose dress up at school and then Western Night at church! Walker dressed up with two of his buddies as the three blind mice for school! It was audorable! (Not his mother's idea! Our wonderful friend Gretchen's idea!) So we had breakfast with friends and then took the three blind mice to school! It was too cute! Walker Especially liked his pink nose!!!


This was so much fun, and I didn't think my little man could get any cuter until I saw him dressed as a cowboy for church that night!! He is the cutest ever and I absolutely love being his Mommy!Though I can get super frustrated with him at times, and sometimes feel like I have no clue what I am doing, I always thank my God for him and for honoring me with Walker! He is truly an awesome little guy!


Thursday he got to go see the race car and was so excited to tell me that "It was number 11 car Mom, not Jimmy Johnson!" He then let me know that I should have skipped class because I really missed out! (I didn't get to go see the race car, I didn't really miss the race car, but I missed the excitement on his face in seeing it and being with him to do something so fun!!! But the best part of the week was Walker stumbling upon t-ball after our Friday afternoon playtime with Sam Todd! We went to watch Sam's tball game and Walker was so excited cheering on Sam from the bleachers! We thought that all of the teams were full so I was feeling like a loser parent for not having my little boy signed up for t ball on time. After the game I just happened to ask the coach if there was anyway they might have room for Walker and to my surprise he welcomed Walker to the team! Walker is so excited because it is the tarheels team!!! Go Tarheels! So the coach told us to come to practice today and a game Monday night! As you can guess Walker woke up at 7:00 looking for his cleats ready for practice! Several hours later (11:00) we headed up to the church and Walker had his first t ball practice! He loved it! Tonight we went to Dicks to get a bat and some baseball pants and then to eat at Casa Linda's (The spicy place) We had some good family time, and Walker must have told Conor 25 times that his game was in 2 days and he would get a tarheels shirt and hat! His excitement is contageous! Its so thrilling to see your little one so excited about something! I am so thankful that he is going to be able to play tball this spring and that he is so tickled about it! Well I better close I am pretty tired! We were outside all day! I am sure I will have more pictures after Monday's game! I was telling Conor tonight on the way home from dinner that I am so thankful for the way that God continues to bless us every minute with new surprises and excitement!
