Walker is 3!

My sweet boy is 3! I can hardly believe it! I feel like he just got here and has been here forever all in the same moment. He is such a joy! We celebrated with just our little family today and then tomorrow is his big party! With a TRAIN coming over! 

We slept in a little, (mama took a few hours off) picked up donuts for breakfast and for Walker's school party, then got to school. He had his little party and then had a fun day at school! We left on time and went to see Mrs Lynn for a quick haircut and then came home and got ready to go to Chuck E Cheese for dinner! Birc got home and off we went! The kids had a great time, and if you want the truth, they have great pizza. We then went and got some ice cream to round out the night and came home to relax (kids) and get ready for the party tomorrow (parents). 


Walker is so smart. He knows so much and I am always impressed with what he remembers. He has a strong sense of smell (sorry buddy, just like me) and he is really coordinated and able to do a lot physically. He weighs about 34 lbs and is about 40 inches tall. His head is as big as mine. Haha!

He can count to 20, sing his ABC's, knows a ton of words, can repeat almost anything we ask him to, and loves music. He loves to sleep-about 11 hours every night and at least 2 hour nap after lunch every day. He is a great sleeper. We just moved him to a big boy bed last week actually, after moving him to the bigger bedroom in the back. He's doing awesome!

June Photo Favorites


June sure was busy! 

We finished up our school year on June 2. Savannah's fitness class at school performed a Luau of different exercises that are Hawaiian themed. It was adorable. 

Body Artist Walker strike 1:

Asleep on the mat after a bath!

Then we found out why he had been so tired: wheezy lungs in need of some extra medication. My poor boy. 

CC made PJ Masks Shirts!

Introducing Owlette:
And Catboy:
First day vs last day. Time just flies!
CC came for an overnight visit and they were so so excited!

We played outside and with bubbles before it became the Arkansas July Inferno. 


Oh, and Body Artist Walker strike 2:
Savannah went to a birthday party at a martial arts studio. She was a little nervous but that's not surprising for her. 
Popsicles at school!
Water play at school!
We ran to the mall to get Daddy's Father's Day gift. Never again without a stroller or leash or something. OMGoodness they were all over the place. 
Went out for a fancy dinner with Ann and Skip! Happy anniversary to them!
Luckily the kids begged Birc to open his Father's Day gifts on Saturday night because I woke up Sunday morning with a migraine and was sick all day long. 
We did have a yummy and fun meal at Anna's for Father's Day for Grandad!
We found Dory. 
We also found tractors in parking lots that we needed to sit in. Because of course. 
The kids did swim lessons. They were much better than last year. We went to the athletic club this year and are going two more weeks this summer for semi-private lessons. It is going okay!
Of course sno cones. 
Got up and went to the farmers market downtown with Ann and skip. Then walked around downtown and to the AR nature center and then to swim. The kids had a full day!

It wore this boy out. 
Even the next day in church he couldn't stay awake!
While Walker gets his hair cut Savannah tries on glasses and loves to take pics of herself! So cute. 
More water play at school. 
Walker's last night in a diaper! More on that later...
