Updating! Hallelujah!

Well, a little update on the family.... Marsh and I are doing fine. As good as we could I guess. We got moved in with my parents, which is so much fun as always. That brings up new and old challenges, but we are making the best of it. Walker loves living at my parents house because there are so many other people who will pick him up when I get tired of it. He LOVES to see other people besides me......rude....! Anyways, we have a lot of fun because my mom is out of school for the summer and we have someone to hang out with and stay busy with. Marsh is busy working two jobs. He doesn't get home til late so we don't see that much of him, but he is so wonderful and hard working. I am so appreciative of him. Marsh got in a really bad motorcycle accident a couple of weeks ago. He crashed his dirt bike really hard and hit his head. He was luckily wearing his helmet. He was out of commission for a week. with symptoms from his crash and another mysterious illness. He had to miss work and everything. The doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong with him, but he finally started to recover. That was a really hard week for us, but we are better now. I have been doing good. Just chugging a long. I am enjoying being back in the neighborhood, going to aerobics, and being a Webelos den leader (both Marsh and I were called as that) . We are just enjoying the summer! My cousin Danielle had her baby the other day and we are waiting anxiously for Court & Jami's 3rd in August. Yay for cute new little babies that aren't mine!!!!!! Couldn't handle that....not yet........ Here is a picture of Walker in his Sundays best....

Hallelujah! Even Another Post!

Walker turned 10 months old June 12th. So, since I was about a month late on his 9 months pictures we went and got pictures taken. They turned out so cute!

Hallelujah! Another Post!

Walker got his first haircut a couple of weeks ago. He did surprisingly well. He didn't scream or cry at all! He just sat there wondering what was going on. His hair got SO long all of the sudden and he was always so sweaty so we decided to give him a buzz. It looks so much better! He looks older with his hair buzz. I love it!

We took a weekend trip down to St. George with my mom and sister. It was super hot, of course! He did really well for having to sit in his car seat for hours. We swam and swam, but him being so incredibly white and blonde I had to lather him in sunblock every half hour. I was afraid he would come out as red as a lobster, but he did okay. We shopped and just enjoyed a quick vacation in the heat.

Walker loves going out to eat. He doesn't really care to eat, but he LOVES to people watch. I guess he's a lot like his mom. Marshall always kicks me under the table at restaurants because I will spend most of my time watching other people. There have been plenty of dinners where we haven't spoken more than two words to each other because I am lost in my people watching. Maybe i'm a little weird....maybe.....

We have been spending as much time outside as possible. We went to the park with my cousin Jake and he pushed Walker in the swing. Walker loved it! This picture was his first experience in a swing. SInce then we try to stop at the elementary schools on our walks and swing. He giggles so hard!

Hallelujah! A New Post!

Walker finally around 9 months learned to pull himself up to stand! He loves that he can do it and has since mastered it. He loves to suck on skin. I don't know why, but if you have a piece of skin exposed (well, mostly me) he will suck the skin right off of you. No teeth yet.... just a lot of slobber.

Moving

Moving sucks......

But it doesn't suck as bad when you have a helper as cute as this!

Easter Weekend

Happy Easter to everyone! We hope that you all had a wonderful easter and you were visited by the easter bunny with lots of yummy treats! We had a wonderful weekend! We decided to get out of town and go camping. We camped on the Dome Plateau. It is just east of Moab. The weather was iffy, but ended up being perfect for riding in the dirt. It was wet enough to keep the dust down. Marshall and I were lucky enough to have such a wonderful mother and mother-in-law who watched Walker all day Saturday at camp so we could go riding. I felt really bad leaving her all by herself at camp all day long with a baby. But she offered and we definitely weren't not going to take her up on it. Thank you mom, we owe you! Walker is doing really great. He is scooting around like crazy. He's practiced quite a bit and is getting really fast moving around the house. He loves to crawl into the bathroom and play with the bathroom rugs. Weird. Marsh and I are doing good. We are moving out of the mortuary and back in with the parents. Hopefully things are starting to change for us and we will be out on our own soon though! Here are some pictures from our fun weekend camping!
Walker helped Marshall work on his bike before we left.

Future motorcycle rider!

He was such a good little camper. I was super nervous to go camping with him, but he slept through the night and just enjoyed being out and about.

A Beautiful overlook of the Colorado river, red rock, and snow covered La Sal Mountains. Do we live in the best state or what?

The Easter Bunny doesn't skip over the campers in the middle of the desert!

Cool caves that we climbed around in.

On top of the world!!

This is a cool arch we rode up to and then hiked in.

Wam weather fun!

We had quite the fun week last week with the warm weather. Walker and I got out and about and on Friday we went to the zoo! We definitely enjoyed the weather and the company and just being out. Too bad Walker had no clue that we were looking at animals. He just chilled in the stroller and enjoyed the ride. The zoo was a lot of fun. It seemed super shorter than I have ever remembered it, but maybe thats just because I am an adult now and nothing seems as cool as it was when I was younger. We spent the week with my little sister who was in town from college for spring break. It was fun seeing her and spending time with her.
I took Walker to the doctor on the 12th because I finally have gotten sick of his spitting up. He has spit up a lot since he was a baby. The pediatricians told me that he would just grow out of it and it will take time, but I am just so sick of waiting! So I went to another pediatrician and she said the same thing, but at least she said I could try some medicine to see if it would make it any better. So far I haven't seen a difference with the medicine. He has reflux, but it doesn't bother him. He doesn't seem to be in pain with heartburn or anything like that. He just pukes and pukes a lot. All day long. It sucks! I can't wait for him to grow out of it! He better grow out of it too! My only concern is that it might cause permanent damage. That acid coming up all the time has to be bad on his throat doesn't it? But the pediatricians never say anything about it. They act like it's not a big deal. Hopefully it's not, but I just get frustrated. Anyone else have this problem with any of their kids? I've only heard of one other person having this problem with their kid and they said it didn't go away until they were 1 1/2 years old! Ugh! Anyways....thats enough of my complaining. Enjoy the pics. Sorry for the lack of posts as of late!
