Walkers 11th Birthday Party

Walker had a few friends over to celebrate his Birthday.  He wanted to go to Jump Street and then back home to spend he night.  They had an absolute blast.  I realized after looking at these pictures I really didn't take much nor did I take a group pic.  This was about all I had.  Anyways we have great memories!!

He likes his greens

6 month photo shoot

Lots of pics below just because he is so dang cute, and such a fun busy age.  I think these pictures captures him so well at 6 months. 

 

Robert 6 Months

My baby is 6  months old.  Where is the time going?  This child is the light of my world and makes me so happy.  He is such a joy.  We all are having the most fun with this angel.  He is sitting up, taking 2 really good naps, sleeps well at night, and is cooing and gooing.  His smile will light up the room.  His little hair is starting to stick up and it looks like little baby chick's hair.  He still looks just like Henry's baby pictures but yet we see so much of Foster and Walker in him too.  His smile is just like Walker's was as a baby.  He smiles with his whole face.  We love you to pieces little Robert!!

My boy and his Guitar

Walker has shown some interest in Guitar.  He decided that he wanted to take some Guitar lessons this year instead of playing Lacrosse this season.  So in January we started Guitar and he loves it.  He has a fabulous teacher who gives us such amazing feedback.  He really thinks that Walker is doing really well.  We hope this is something that he may keep up.  I am amazed how well he can play already and I love listening to him play! 

 

Walker's Science Fair Project

Walker did his project on which laundry detergent gets stains out better.  We had white wash cloths and he went outside and got mud on them.  I washed each one separately.  The detergents used were Era, Tide, Gain, and Arm and Hammer.  The Arm and Hammer won.  We have just switched and I love it!!  Good job Walker

Sweet baby

Lola and Robert

 

Little Robert Loves Lola to death.  He pulls on her and Lola is so sweet that she doesn't mind at all! 

Lola's First Bath

Our sweet girl, Lola

Well, the beginning of January we got a new dog.  Her name is Lola and she is the best dog ever!  She is so sweet and very very calm.  The boys had been really wanting another dog but we just couldn't get just any other dog again.  We knew that the next dog would just have to fall in our laps.  This one did.  A neighbor of ours works at a Breeding Farm.  The breeder retired Lola because her hips were too small.  There is nothing wrong with them just too small.  She had only one litter of puppies.  She is one and a half and is truly the best and sweetest dog ever.  We are so glad we have her. 

 

The Nice's came to visit

Eric's cousin Lindsey and her family came to visit us for a few days the end of December to the beginning of January.  They have 5 kids and we have 4.  So we had 4 adults and 9 kids all under one roof.  It was a house full of love to say the least.  We had a great first full day together.  We went to LEGOLAND in Atlanta and had a great time.  We spent sometime downtown as well.  So glad we got that one good day under our belt because the rest was well not so great..... Lindsey was up all night their second night here with a stomach bug..... The next day it hit Walker, Henry and I.  Their youngest Silas came down with it too.  A few days later, Eric came down with it.  So needless to say the rest of the visit was spent in the bed and the other well adults had to tag team it.  It was definitely a visit that either one of us will never ever forget.  With all that we somehow still had a good visit.  I just hate  that they drove all the way down here for them to get sick..  A memory we will never forget.  On their first full day we got to celebrate Walker's 11th Birthday which we spent at Legoland.  Their boys love Legos and were dying to go.  My boys had never been either so it was a great day. Thank goodness we got that in.  We hope that we didn't scare them off from visiting Georgia again and we would love to have a do over!!!  We love them and their kids and we always have fun together despite the bad old stomach bug!!
