Fall Festival at School

This was our first time going to the Fall Festival at Walker's school. Our church does a really good job with the festival. Most of the kids wore their Halloween costumes, but I forgot Walker's costume. He still had a blast playing the games and getting candy.

His favorite game was "Go Fish"...he got lots of candy and lots of silly bands. We had to beg him to try something different because he would have stayed at the "Go Fish" station all night.

Having fun with his friends. Peyton is in orange, Lauren is on the left and Corrine is on the right (both LadyBugs). They have been together since they were all 2 months old. They did not want to sit on the balloons. When the balloons popped Walker would say, "Too Loud Mommy".

Runaway Balloon Man!!

He sat so still while the nice lady painted a cat on his hand. He requested a "Kitty Cat".

Peyton showing Walker how to putt putt. Peyton's dad is a PGA Professional, so he really knows how to putt.

Can you see Petyon in the background saying, "No Walker you need to hold the club right"..."That's not the way my daddy says to do it":):)

Trying to throw the little ball in the bucket.

They had so much fun at the festival. Walker, Peyton and Lauren were swimming for ducks. I thought for sure one of them was going to go swimming:)

We can't go any where without Walker finding a tractor. The tractor pulled the wagon ride. We had so much fun. Next year we will make sure to wear our Halloween costume.

Pumpkin Day at Indigo Farms

HAPPY PUMPKIN DAY, Y'ALL!!

We love Pumpkin Day at Indigo Farms. This was our 2nd year going and we had just as much fun as last year. Walker loves visiting the farm animals and running around all over the farm. It is truly so much fun watching him run around and talking to all of the animals.

I love this family photo of us. Looks like Walker needed some sunglasses too:) I think he's feeling a little left out.

I know one thing, Walker is NOT afraid of animals. He would call this cute little goat, "My goat". He talked and talked to the goat and even fed him right from his hand. At one point he had the goat in a headlock saying, "I love you goat"...so stinkin' cute!!

All of the animals are so friendly and gentle. Poor Mr. Donkey was all alone, so we decided to go over and give him some love! They also have pig races. Little pigs are so cute. Walker loved watching the pig races.

He tried so hard to throw the carrot in the pumpkins mouth. Daddy eventually had to step in and help him out.

He climbed in.....

And climbed out.....

We ran into our sweet friends The Smigelski's. Walker absolutely adores Conner. They had so much fun together on the hay ride. And let me say that Conner is so good to Walker.

And look at these two sweet faces. How absolutely adorable are they?? Can't you tell how much fun we had??

We had to go down a couple times solo.

Conner showed Walker how to shuck corn like back in the good ole days.

Here are our two pumpkins that got to go home with us. Daddy is sooooooo talented!!

Being Spoiled.....

It is always such a great time when the grandmothers come to visit. We were lucky enough to have both grandmothers plus Beck (Walker's great grandmother) come to visit in October. You can definitely say we were all really spoiled. Patrick and I always like the break and extra hands around to help with Walker. Enjoy our pictures of Moppy, Jules and Beck!

We were playing how many can fit on one chair? As you can tell Ribbie really didn't think it was a fun game. Walker thought it was a great idea:)

We have lots of lizards outside and Walker loves to hunt for them. Moppy and Walker found a baby lizard and he enjoyed touching its tail. I was definitely impressed with Moppy catching the lizard. I on the other hand will not even think about holding a lizard. We always have so much fun with Moppy. It is such a treat for all of us to have her visit us. We go shopping, eat lots of good food and most importantly give lots of lovin' to Walker. We can't wait to see Moppy and Papa over the Thanksgiving holidays.

Jules and Beck came to visit us the week before Halloween. We had such a great time with them. This was Patrick's grandmothers first time visiting us in SC. We are so glad she came and was able to see the area we live in, where we work, Walker's school and etc.

While Jules and Beck were here we went to Alligator Adventure. Walker loved it and believe me I have never seen so many alligators... a little creepy!! They have over 700 alligators on property. We were able to see turtles, birds, ducks, tigers, a zebra, a camel, a donkey and lots of lazy alligators. Thank you Beck for treating us to lots of fun!!

They also carved a pumpkin and Jules baked/decorated a really cool pumpkin chocolate cake. Walker could not wait to taste the icing. While it was in the refrigerator Walker would open the door swipe away some icing and close the door:)

We also enjoyed attending the Homecoming football game. This was a hard weekend for Patrick because he was so busy with homecoming festivities. We squeezed in Daddy time when ever we got a chance. Hey, they really didn't come to see us any way, right?

Thank you Jules and Beck for coming such a long way to see us. We loved every second of your visit. We can't wait to see you again during the Christmas holidays!!

I Voted!

Today in Walker's class at school they went to the voting polls. His teachers set up a mini voting box with pictures of an ice cream cone and a cupcake. Each child voted for their favorite and placed it in the voters box. Each voter received an, "I Voted" sticker. After a very close race the winner was announced....****Ice Cream Cone****

Walker's class will have a very special celebration party with ice cream for EVERYONE on Friday!! I mentioned to his teachers this morning if "ice cream" won then I volunteer Patrick to make his homemade ice cream. Patrick is so excited to make chocolate and vanilla for all of Walker's classmates on Friday:)

Happy Halloween!!

We had such a great night celebrating Halloween and trick or treating with our friends. We live in a great neighborhood to trick or treat with such special friends. We all met around 6pm to get all the kids together. Walker was a dinosaur this year and he was the cutest dinosaur I know:) In the group we had Alice in Wonderland, Iron Man, Firefighter, Yoshi, Dora the Explorer and a Ladybug and of course Walker the Dinosaur. We brought the wagon, but Walker wanted nothing to do with that, so Miss Ladybug Keeley enjoyed being pulled around. Walker did so well keeping up with his friends and surprisingly walked right up to the door and said, "Trick or treat". It was funny, because he was always the last to get the candy. He waited very patiently for all of his bigger friends to go first and then it was his turn:) About a hour later after running around he looked at me and said, "Mommy, Home". He did so well and we are so proud of him. I will leave you with pictures of the cutest Dinosaur you will ever see:)
