Indigo Falls, Happy Fall Y'all!

Happy Fall Y'all!

We made it to Indigo Farms again for the 3rd year in a row. We always have so much fun there. We met some of our friends from Myrtle Beach there. It was was so nice to see our SC friends for a few hours. I absolutely love this picture of the three of us. We hardly ever have the opportunity to take a picture together.

I was sooooo shocked when he wanted to ride the pony. We have begged and pleaded for him to ride the pony the last two years. I guess it's just the age and he's not scared anymore. He loved it!!

Can you tell he's getting a "stern talking"?

I put this picture up for me, but trust me I will never forget it. Walker decided he wanted to explore the farm by himself. Oh yes...he was lost for about 5 minutes and when we found him he was about 500 yards away. He really didn't understand why he was getting in trouble. I was scared to death/nauseous until we found him. Just another reminder 3 yr olds are quick on their feet and I need to be more aware of what he's doing!!

Playing in the Tee Pee with his sweet friend Keeley!

I hope you can see Keeley's jeggings and tall boots. Her mama does such a great job dressing Miss Thang!

Walker and Peyton were so excited to see each other.

Three peas in a pod!

These three are so fun to be around, like always:)

They play so well together and truly love each other.

JD, Walker, Peyton and Conner.

We had to use poor Dave (JD's dad) as a prop!

Thanks Dave the picture turned out perfect!!

After Indigo Farms we had a fabulous lunch with our friends. This was the best picture I could get with our old neighborhood gang. As you can tell someone missed their nap and wasn't cooperating....I wonder who?? Thank you to our sweet friends for meeting us and we can't wait to see y'all again really soon.

Grandparents Day!

Today Walker celebrated Grandparents Day at his school. The theme was "Rounding Up Grandparents" and the children were asked to dress up like a cowboy/cowgirl. Walker had so much fun dressing up this morning and he could hardly wait to go see his classmates. Walker did so well during the program, participating in singing his class songs and he "scored" at the book fair. It was fun listening to Moppy tell stories about their morning at school.

We are so lucky to have wonderful Grandparents who we LOVE so much!

Walker is a very lucky little boy! We really missed Papa, Jules and Pops today!

Guess who.......

Guess who finally started using the PEDALS today!!!!!!!!!!

And he's

off!!!!!!!

We couldn't be more excited right now! We have been trying to get Walker to pedal for MONTHS and you know this kid....he is NOT going to do anything he doesn't want too:) Patrick and I have been PATIENTLY waiting for him to take off and he finally did. We are so proud of you Walkman!!!!:):)

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY!!

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY!!

Under The Big Top

Walker's school once a year has a fall carnival. This years theme was, "Under The Big Top". Each class is given a booth game and the parents are responsible for designing the booth. Our booth was "Mrs. Louise and Mrs. Jung's Bigtop Clown Fishing". The carnival was so much fun with the gym full of games, face painting, a cake walk, bouncy houses outside, a hayride, laser tag and etc. We had so much fun there Friday night. It was very hard to convince Walker it was time to go home.

Walker fishing for a prize.

Parents volunteered to work the booth for 30 minutes. I volunteered early in the night and I signed Patrick up to work too:)

Part of the criteria is to include the children. The children were clowns, acrobats and faces of balloons. The children had so much fun walking through the booth seeing their faces. Walker was a clown playing a saxophone. Just perfect for him:)

How funny is this picture!!!!

This is Walker's sweet little friend Owen.

Walker thinks Owen is so cool:) It was so fun seeing his classmates at the carnival.

Here are a few of the games we played.

Putt Putt

Tic Tac Toe

Dumbo's Dice Flying

Scoop Under The Big Top

Tossing to New Hites

Walker thought it was so cool to run in the jail!

During the carnival the teachers and administration went to jail to raise money.

He had a blast playing outside on the bouncy houses.

I couldn't resist showing you one of the cutest pictures ever. This is Walker's friend Peyton. She is in Walker's class. Her parents are so nice. I just love it how they were walking around holding hands. Well just for maybe 3 minutes:) The kids call her Princess Peyton:)

Daddy's Birthday and Jules & Pops Visit!!!

On September 24 we celebrated a very extra special person.....DADDY!!

Happy Birthday to you Daddy!!

Patrick's birthday week started out extra special with a visit on Monday from Jules and Pops joined in on the fun on Friday. This was the first time Jules and Pops have visited us in Wilmington. We were so excited for them to come and to show them our new city, UNCW, Walker's school and our new house. We had such a great time during their visit and can't wait to see them again in November.

We started off the birthday morning celebrating with a special request from the birthday boy. His favorite, French toast made with Hawaiian bread, real maple syrup and bacon. It was delicious I might say...thank you so very much:)

Walker loved helping Daddy blow out the candles!

And he loved helping him open his birthday presents!

We celebrated his birthday with a great dinner on the Waterway.

The birthday boy came home to an ice cream cake!

Another one of his favorites:)

with his helper again:)

My two sweet boys!

Walker enjoyed helping Pops work in the yard.

Walker helped plant flowers, pick weeds and extend a bed.

We enjoyed showing Jules and Pops UNCW's campus. We came across a fountain on campus and we think a student put detergent in the water. Walker thought the bubbles were so funny. He thought Pops putting his head in the giant bubbles was so hilarious:)

Playing baseball on the intramural fields.

Playing on the steps in Trask (the basketball arena).

Showing Jules and Pops how hard Daddy his working to improve the arena!

And one of our favorite spots on campus.

Walker loves looking at Sammy the Seahawk!

Thank you again Jules and Pops for coming to visit us during such a special time. We enjoyed showing you around so much and can't wait for you to come back to see us. Thank you so much for all of your help while you were here. We love you both!
