IT'S GREAT TO BE 8!!!!!!!!!

Can you believe it, Emma is 8!!! I am still in shock. She is so grown up and it happened so fast. In my mind she is still that sweet little girl with crazy pig tails who had her grandpa McMullin wrapped around her little finger. The picture above is of Emma on the cruise we took her on for her birthday :o) Well maybe not, but we did go to Salt Lake for some fun, and the picture is of Emma and Owen on Nephi's boat. They had a blast.

Here is Emma a Chuck E Cheese.

Opening presents.

Cake time. I love as they get older the cakes they ask for get much less complicated! She wanted an 8... Perfect.

She had a fun little party...

More and more presents :o) Emma is one amazing girl. She is so sweet and has such a soft heart. She is an amazing sister, and is so helpful to her mom. She LOVES animals. I mean LOVES them. I am thankful for the show animal hoarders, because I think if she had never seen the show, she may have become one ;o) She is an amazing reader. She is in the 2nd grade and just tested at a 6th grade reading level! She almost never gets in trouble and tries so hard to do what is right. She is SO excited to be baptized in March. Her baptism is on the 5th so since everyone is dying to come see our awesome town this is the perfect excuse to come ;o) I am so proud of her!!!!

It was kind of hard to find pictures of Emma for this post because most of them look like this!!! She is a bit camera shy.... WE LOVE YOU EMMA!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEVI!!!

Levi is now one. He is so sweet and such a good little kid. Owen said that he HAD to have a crown for his birthday and he HAD to color it. He did a great job :o)

Here is his cake...

He was really happy about getting this close to the cake.

We got him some waffle blocks for his birthday! He loves them, I love them, and the kids love them. We are always building something new!

Levi is very sweet, and kind. He loves his brothers and sisters. They take him everywhere. I can never find him. One minute he is pulling all my pots out and I turn around and he is gone. I will look all over the house and he almost always ends up in a kids room. They always come and take him and play with him. We really have an amazing group of kids.

Levi, like almost every kid I know LOVES Noah. He is always getting him to laugh.

We have a few book worms in our house, and I am pretty sure Levi thinks he can read. He is always grabbing books and holding them just like this card and yelling. It is pretty cute!

Here he is hanging out with the boys. Noah and Owen were playing and they came to find Levi. Noah didn't think it was right to play without all the boys :o) We feel so blessed to have this little guy in our family!!!

Another Little Walker!!!!!!

We are so excited to have another Walker in our house. Levi is all over the place now. He has been walking for about a month now. He LOVES to follow the kids around. He also loves going into the girls room and finding toys that are perfect for choking on! There is no turning back now, he is on the move :o)

Oh, and I wonder how many of you saw the title of this post and thought that I was pregnant??? ;o)

A little bit of Christmas

So here is a fast little look at our Christmas... We have had tons of fun. (It may look like I am crushing my Libbie, but worry not, she was not harmed)

We had lots of presents to open, It was SO much fun to have our first Christmas in our house!!

Levi had his First Christmas. He is growing up so fast.

We got to get out of town and go to temple square. It was beautiful, and the kids really enjoyed it.

We had even more fun! Don't worry we almost got in trouble with the law.


Police "Sir I'm going to have to ask you to stop"

Dave "Is what we are doing against the law?'

Police "Well no"

Dave "Well, then, we aren't going to stop"

Really! There is nothing to do in this town. He must have been the police of fun killing. Don't worry we kept going until the kids were frozen ;o)

More Christmas fun.Oh, and don't be fooled. We live in Nevada, but up in the mountains. We got about 2 feet of snow in a day and a half, and another 6 inches the day after. And don't feel bad for Matt, he was at work and I had to shovel. I told him we are buying a snow blower, he said that I was doing a good job and there was no need ;O)

Here is what Santa got for the kids. They love it. Even Levi. If we are upstairs and the kids turn it on in the basement Levi screams and laughs until we take him down and let him play. We are going to have a very fun winter!

Slacker

Wow, July 6Th was the last time that I was on here. That is sad. Let me just say that it has been a very hard and trying few months. Things are getting better, and I will have more time, a lot more time! I would post a few pictures but I don't have any on this computer. So I will post some pictures soon, that is if anyone is still checking. I am sure everyone has given up on me!

Caves and kids

We have had a lot of fun this last week. Regan, Aaron and my mom came for a visit. As I put all the pictures on the computer I realized we didn't have many pictures, and I only had a few of our guests :o( Well here is some of what we did. The family and my mom went out in search of a ghost town. On the way up a back road we saw this and stopped the car. It was crazy. Just off the side of the road so close that you could just fit your car by it with out falling in.

Matt really wanted to go in. I was not so happy about that! He looked around a bit but we had no flash light so he stayed out, and i was so glad about that. After we started to drive away I found Matt's head lamp in the van. Thankfully the kids asked him not to go in there!
Here is Matt and Levi near the old town site of Ward. This is what we came to see, but when we got here we found a sign that said most of the town was moved 100 years ago and then there was a fire. We did see some building foundations and some other things. It was really neat even if there wasn't much there.

Levi and Owen

When Regan and Aaron were here we went to Lehman Caves. It was SO AWESOME!!! This is the original opening to the caves. This is how visitors use to get in.

While we were at the park the kids became Jr Rangers.

Here are some pictures of the caves. It was really amazing. There are some names written on the walls from the 1800's.

Thanks to Regan for taking a family picture!

Here is one of the only pictures of Regan and Aaron on our camera. I need to be better.

I was worried with how the kids would do. The tour was an hour long, but they did amazing. Levi stayed out with Grandma so she wouldn't be alone :o)

Here is Noah and Levi all ready for Church. He is growing up so fast and the kids love him to bits.

We also went to cave lake and garnet hill. We found some good garnets this time. I will have to ask Regan and my mom if they have any pictures and I can post more later!
