Caught up... be prepared!

Here we go... somewhat in order.

******************
Gus' Dad won tickets to a BSU game and took Gus!

They had a lot of fun!

Matching shirts they both got for Christmas last year.

Silly Kids

My silly little Bug with a wild imagination!
She is so fun!

Carlie is such a pretty little girl. This is her practicing for picture day at school!

Carlie is such a good big sister. She always gives the kids piggy-back rides. Here Grady is flying and saying "To the Rescue!"

My Birthday

With the help of my sister Valerie, my Sweet Husband threw me a surprise party! It was so fun, Valerie made me an ice-cream cake! YUM!

I was so surprised when we left the house through the garage and
when we opened the door there were people outside!
Good thing Gus had tricked me into cleaning my house before they all got there... so sneaky!

Thank You to all my good friends...

...and thank you Valerie (not saying you aren't one of my good friends)!

Halloween

The Pumpkin Patch was a lot of fun this year!
We went with the Jones family and met the Foresters a little later!

Hay!This camel was HUGE and super cool! The kids LOVED the petting zoo this year and actually touched the animals!

On the Hay Ride... we found some good pumpkins!

This was my kids favorite thing!
Barrel Train!

*************
All Dressed up!

Grady the Monkey, Sarah Jane the fairy Princess, and Carlie Snow White Thanks to Old Navy for the monkey suit that has lasted for five years,
thanks to Shari for the fairy costume, and thanks to Jeniele for the Snow White dress!

We went around our neighborhood with Brandon and Valerie's families... Here are some super cute little boys, Landon the Bear and Bridger better known as Nemo

Thanksgiving

Grady was at the tail of the table, I guess you could say.
We had all the Drakes/Garcias that are in the area come for dinner!
We also had Great Grandma Walker and Greg (a friend from work)
it was a full house and we had a feast!

Yum!
Silly girl... I think that was the only thing she ate!
******
Later Thanksgiving night we headed out to my parents home for lots of pie!

This was only a third of the room.
It was a lot of fun and a little crazy, like usual,
but if it weren't it wouldn't be a Waltman Get Together!

Thank you for putting up with my oh so late posts but now I am caught up to Christmas! Yay!

First Day...

I can hardly believe that my little girl started Kindergarten this year! Carlie was so excited!

She loves to go early and eat breakfast. Lunch is her favorite besides recess of course!

It was fun going school shopping for the first time!

Here she is ready to go into her class where she already knows a lot of her classmates.

It wasn't sad saying good-bye because I was so excited for her!

The first few days the Kindergarteners had to be picked up but Carlie was super excited to ride the bus home!

She is still loving the bus ride home even though it is only 5minutes long.

Needless to say Sarah Jane and Grady want to ride the bus and think Carlie is sooo cool!
**********************
Sarah Jane started Pre-School with Grandma Waltman and LOVES it! She is still a little young but has fun.

It is hard to believe how fast my little ones are growing up!
We love these kids!
