Easter Weekend in SC

I tell you what the Easter bunny sure knows how to make a little boy very very happy. His Easter basket was full of all of his favorite candy and some really super cool goodies. He was so excited to see what the Easter bunny brought him in his basket.

Two very lucky kiddos!!

Checking out his super cool goodies!

And he was so excited to show Collins all of her goodies.

Walker especially liked her new outfits!

Happy First Easter Collins!

After checking out all of their goodies from the Easter bunny, Collins and I jumped in the car and headed to SC to visit my parents. It was FINALLY time I got to meet my sweet niece who was born in January. We were all suppose to go, but when Walker did not get his cast off we decided it still would be best for the girls to still go. We had an absolute blast seeing my family and catching up with friends and their sweet babes!!

Collins and Kohyn hanging out!

So glad we were able to visit with Kohyn, her cutie sister and her sweet Mama!!

Thank y'all for taking the time to stop by and see us. xoxo

We got to meet the new handsome addition to the Hall Family- Mr. Burton!!

Collins enjoyed playing with Burton's hair:) I tried to tell her all of her boyfriends in Wilmington would be very jealous:) It was so great to meet Burton and visit with his sweet mama!! We love you guys!!

One of the highlights of my trip was getting to see and play with this handsome fellow!!

We had such a great time together- "cutting up" in church, playing outside and especially him chauffeuring me around on the farm in the golf cart. He's a very good golf cart driver I might add:) We had fun splashing through the mud puddles together:) Next time when Walker is with us theses two are going to get into some major trouble!!

I feel so blessed to have been at church on Easter Sunday to see the dedication of my sweet niece. 

She is just the cutest little thing ever and hardly ever makes a peep. I can't wait for Collins and Reagan to become best buds:)

 Gosh, she is just the prettiest little thing....can't believe it took me so long to see her.

I can't wait to see her again in May! I'm a lucky aunt!!

Happy First Easter you sweet baby girl!!

Rocking her super FAB bunny vest:)

And her super cute bunny slippers:)

She loved bath time....Moppy always enjoys this with her grandbabies:)

Nothing better than a bath in the sink:)

We are ONE LUCKY family to have such a WONDERFUL Moppy!!

These grandbabies have no idea just how lucky they really are:)

This picture would have been so perfect if one handsome fellow wasn't missing:(

Enjoying the beautiful weather with Moppy!

Thank you to all of our family and friends for making our visit so perfect. We love you all!!

Class Easter Party 2013

We had a slightly different Easter weekend this year. It was a little different due to the body cast Walker was still sporting for Easter making things rather difficult. I took him to his Easter party at school. All of his friends were so super excited to see him walk through the door. He is one lucky little boy to have such sweet friends who have prayed for him every day. They kept saying, "Walker You're Back" or "Walker We Missed You"...so so sweet!!

Lining up to head outside for his class Easter egg hunt!

His teacher lined them all up and said, "Ready, Set, Hunt"!

He and I headed for the easy target the tree:)

For some one in a body cast that can't bend over he did quite well:)

Checking out all of their loot.

These two never skip a beat:)

Always getting in trouble....they were in the back of the line making funny noises.

And at one point I looked down and Owen was holding Walker's hand helping him walk....so sweet!

We had such a great time celebrating with his class!

We are so lucky to be apart of such a special school!!

T-Ball

We officially have a "T-Baller"!!

It's so hard to believe Walker is at the age to play T-ball. He's just growing into such a big boy. This weekend was full of T-ball events. Saturday was individual and team pictures, Sunday was opening ceremonies and tonight was our first game. Our team name is 1800- Got Junk. The boys think their team name is so funny. Patrick is also helping out as the first base coach...Yay..Go Daddy! We have such a great group of boys and I can't wait to watch all of them grow into little baseball players this season.

Walker and his buddies!

Walker, Dominic, Owen and Jack.

Walker and his best buddy Owen!

During the opening ceremonies on Sunday each team walked out on the field and was introduced. 

The boys thought it was so cool.

My baseball players!!
 

Tonight was Walker's very first t-ball game!

Enjoy the photos...sorry I had the hardest time choosing from all the pictures I took tonight!

Go Team Junk!!

Check out his number...YAY for #9...just like his Daddy!!

Walker is such a trooper....he did not miss one practice with his full body cast on and is very determined to play. Both teams approved to let Walker hit and allowed one of his teammates to run for him. Walker is still unable to run and his doctor also requested him to not run the bases until next week.

Check out the first base coach!!

Yay....Go Daddy!!

Walker playing in the outfield!

One of Walker's favorite parts of the game..HA!

Sweet buddies!!

First family shot after Walker's very first T-ball game!!

Go Team Junk and Go Team Ransdell!!

Cast Away!!!!

Today finally happened...no more CAST!! Yipee!!!!

I can't tell you how excited we were for this morning to finally get here. It has been a very long almost 7 weeks with a little boy in a big ole' body cast.  We definitely had a bundle of emotions this morning anticipating all of the "what if's". We woke up early this morning to get ready to head to the doctor. Walker was very excited and was not nervous until we actually went into the "cast room". He got super quite with tears in his eyes. He never actually cried, but I could tell he was very anxious about taking off his cast. He has been the best little patient, so strong and brave. This little guy will be able to tackle anything thrown his way.

In the cast room with his airplane headphones on.

They give each little patient headphones so their not scared of hearing the loud cast saw.

Holding his sweet little hand while the BEST nurse ever saws away his cast!!

She said his body cast was the cleanest she has ever seen. She even told his doctor we should receive the best parents award.

Almost there.....

CAST IS OFF BABY!!!!

Waiting to be wheeled in for an x-ray wearing his super cool x-ray shorts!!!

You can see the fracture (this is zoomed in on the computer). If you look on the outside of the bone on the left you can see the "new growth" (looks like a hump on the outside of the bone). Also, I'm not sure if you can see, but the fracture used to go all the way to the edge of the bone on both sides. His doctor said he is a bone growing machine.

He was so excited to be leaving with the cast in tow!!!!!!

We made a pit stop to Krispy Creme and then came straight home and he stayed in the bath for over an hour. We scrubbed and scrubbed until he was squeaky clean. He said it felt so good.  The doctor said to let him go at his own pace. Late this afternoon we finally started to walk a little. He is still not bending his leg. It will take some time for his little leg to get strong again and for him to be fully comfortable. The doctor said he would complain of being sore.  We are so proud of you buddy and we love you so much!!!!

Happy 6 Months!!

Happy 6 Months you sweet baby girl!! 

You are absolutely the sweetest little thing ever! You love to be held I tell ya. We are working your independence. I tell you every day you don't need mommy at your side every second of the day...you seem to not understand..HA! You are very content just sitting in my lap or me carting you around every where on my hip:) You think your big brother is absolutely hilarious and you are so interested in Ribbie. You think when Ribbie barks it's hysterical.  You are showing no interest in rolling over from your back to your stomach. You are a champ at sitting up. You can see your silly brother better sitting up. We had a great 6 month check up at the pediatrician's office. You weigh 18 lbs, 2 ounces. You are in the 90th percentile for weight...you love to eat just like your brother. We are so lucky you are such a happy and healthy baby. We love you so much!!

The sweetest little face ever!!!

Hanging out in the kitchen while Mommy cooks dinner!

We cheered on our Toppers during the NCAA Tournament!

Believe it or not we had a few warm days in March.

We love our super cool Go Pod!

This little outfit will be one of my all time favorites!!

We just love these two little stinkers to pieces!!!

They adore each other so much!!

She loves to snuggle in the bean bag....when Walker shares it:)

Getting ready for Easter.....

We had a very productive week in the kitchen getting all set for Easter. Each year just gets better and better with Walker and I can hardly wait until Collins can join in on the fun. Walker was so excited to help me dye Easter eggs. I did say a lot of, "Be careful, Gentle, Stop, No, It's an egg, not a ball, Take your time" over and over, but hey what's new??!!

Happy boy getting ready to dye the eggs!

Getting all of his colors ready.....

I think we are all ready mom!!

Let's just say he needs to work on his patience just a little.

This is the part where I was thankful the eggs were "dropped" safely in the dye....we lost a few to say the least:):)

He did a great job....I think they turned out beautiful!!

What did Collins do while we dyed eggs??

We couldn't leave her out, so she sat in the kitchen cozy in the bean bag:)

I just can't get enough of her cuteness!!!!!!!

Or this adorable guys cuteness!!!!!!

After the eggs were complete we moved on to the Annual Bunny Cake!!

I told you we were very productive in the kitchen:)

The boys did a fabulous job as always!!

Walker was so proud of the bunny cake!!

Collins wishing she could just have one piece....maybe next year sweet girl!!

We hope all of our family and friends have a wonderful Easter weekend. We love you...xoxo!
