Putt-Putt and Father's Day

DJ, Walker and I recently started a new tradition in order to give him some quality time with mom and dad away from baby brother. Family Date Night! This night we had dinner and then went for Putt-Putt and ice cream. Walker is an AMAZING golfer! He has loved it since he was 2 and he has continued to get better and better. He has recently been focusing on putting so we thought...putt-putt!! We'll have you know that each of us made a hole-in-one on separate holes...and this was Walker's first time and he made a hole-in-one!!! He loved it!!!

After putt-putt, playing some ski-ball and trying to cool off!!! Walker is such the little athlete, his ski-balls kept missing the holes completely and the netting and going all over the place because he throws so strong!
Some of you already know, but for those of you that have never seen Walker's "it's cold" face...this is it! He has been doing this probably since the first time he had ice cream!




All my boys relaxing in bed on Father's Day Morning!

Firestation Tour and Knoxville Trip

Below are some pictures from our MOMS club trip to the local firestation. Walker had such a good time. The firefighters gave us a complete tour of their station. The best part for Walker was when they had two emergencies while we were there...the sirens rang, we had to hurry out of the way so the trucks could leave, sirens and all!! Thank you to all of our firefighters for all you do to protect us!

On a side note, after this visit, Walker had a small phase where he was afraid of our firealarms in the house. It took a few days of reassuring and explaining how they work, but we made it through! Apparently, he was afraid that fire was going to come out of the firealarm! Everytime we would leave the room, he would say, "Mommy, the firealarm won't go off?" He was so worried fire was going to come out of it! Now that it's over, I can look back and say how adorable!! A cute memory to cherish. Thank goodness, he made it through:)

Walker and I got to get away for a night and go visit Aunt Stephanie and the girls in Knoxville! Daddy stayed with the baby...so it was a "date" weekend for Walker and I. We had a good time. Even better, Brent kept the kids once it was time for night night and Steph and I got to have some "girlfriend" time with wine and a great dinner!

Walker obviously has a great time with his girls...Sydney and Finley! They were all in PJ's getting ready for night night!

Our Handsome Boys!

This was on Sunday before Church. I am so happy I can match them in the cute outfits for at least a little while. Walker is wearing 5T and it gets harder to find the cute little matching outfits in that size....as long as I can, you better believe our boys will match as much as possible!! This morning we made it to 8:00 service!! That's really not a hard feat for us since we're up at 6 pretty much every morning!!!

Lounging in the Shade

This was this past weekend in Grammy and Grampy Denning's backyard. It was a gorgeous day. Walker was playing golf and baseball and we stripped Trippy down and let him enjoy this weather! Of course, he immediately did what he loves to do best....fingers in the mouth and grabbing the toes!!

Walker and His Friends

We had a playdate last week with some of Walker's friends from school. This year has been such a great year for him. We had a wonderful teacher and he is at that age where he loves to talk about his friends and what they play...it is so fun to listen to and watch! School is out for the summer and we plan on having regular playdates so he doesn't miss his friends too much!!!

Pictures of the Boys

Ahhh, brothers! I can't wait to see these two grow together and play! They already do have a very sweet relationship. I am truly blessed and happy to have two boys!!

Our sweet little boy and his sweet little rolls!!!

In the above two pictures, the boys were playing in the backyard. Walker has finally started to enjoy swinging....he never really cared to swing for the longest time. This afternoon, we put Trippy into the swing for the first time and he had a really good time! He just laughed and laughed!!

Tripp in his Bumbo seat. We never had one of these with Walker and it is the best thing ever! He loves to sit in it and be a part of things. He sits with me while I cook or clean and he sits at the table with us while we eat.

Four Months Already!!

I am 4 months old already (well, actually 4 1/2 now...Mommy is a little late posting pictures)! I am growing so much and getting stronger and stronger everyday. My doctor told me that my height and weight are in the 90th percentile! This makes my daddy very happy...especially the height! I can do all kinds of new things now. I can roll over to my tummy when I'm lying on my back and then I can roll back over to my back again (but sometimes Mommy has to help me with this part because it's a little bit harder for me to do). I found my fingers a while back ago and LOVE to chew on them! I also can grab toys now and put them into my mouth...yummy! And just recently, I found my feet!!! This was very exciting...I was very proud of myself!

I am sleeping better for the most part. I give Mommy 3 naps each day and usually lie right down without any complaints. I go night night around 6:30 every night and boy, I'm ready for bed!! I sleep great and usually wake up about 4:00 to 4:30am and I'm ready to party in my crib!! Mommy and Daddy don't like this and they usually either let me be and I might go back to sleep or sometimes they give me a bottle, and I go back to sleep for a little while. But, either way, Mommy and Daddy don't get me out of bed until at least 6am (but sometimes later) and I'm such a happy baby in the morning. I am excited in the mornings because after my bottle, my mommy lets me have cereal now! At first, I didn't really know how to eat it and spit most of it out. But, it's been a few weeks now and I'm getting really good at it and am eating lots of it!

I also am getting to know my brother more and more. I love to watch him and he likes to talk to me too! He gives me hugs and kisses and loves to show me off. I'm a lucky baby and am loving getting to know my family!
