Easter 2012!

We spent Easter weekend with my family this year and it was so much fun! We drove to Montgomery first thing Saturday morning and stayed through naps on Sunday afternoon. Here are some pictures from the weekend:

Mom and Walker looking for bugs in the pool gutter. Walker is obsessed with bugs! I wish that I had video of them because they were both cracking up!

Family picture before our Easter egg hunt!

The McCrory's came over around 10:00 to spend the day. The cousins...ready to hunt eggs!!!

Let the hunt begin!
Walker looking for the "price" (aka surprise) in the egg.
Sweet Lucy Kate while the bigger kids were hunting:
After the Easter egg hunt the kids wanted to get into the pool. Well it was a little cooler than normal so dad turned on his hot tub to get it warm enough for the kids to play in. They LOVED it! They played in the hot tub for over an hour!

Richard and Walker getting ready to go swimming! I must say Richard was such a trooper. I totally had NO desire to go swimming so Richard stayed out there with the kids the whole time! What a good daddy and husband!

The middle of the hot tub is pretty deep and this little man is totally fearless in the water so we had him all decked out! Can you believe that every store in town was completely sold out of puddle jumpers? Here is our make-shift puddle jumper :)
Uncle Russell with Lucy Lu
Sunday morning we all went to visit my sister and brother-in-law's church, First Baptist. It was our first time visiting since Russell took the position of youth minister a little over a year ago. It was so neat to be able to see him in his element. He is really doing a wonderful job and all of the youth completely adore Lyndsey, Russell and their kids!

Before church on Sunday.

She is beautiful :)

Precious cousins.
After church we went to eat at the Capitol City Club. They had an Easter bunny there. I totally think that he looks pretty scary but W didn't think so! As soon as Walker saw him he ran up to him and started talking to him. He was putting on a show!

Walker and Aunt Lyndsey

On our way back to Boo and Papa's after lunch we looked back to find this...

Lucy Katherine's first trip to Henderson

A few weeks ago we made a trip to Henderson to visit Richard's family. We had so much fun hanging out with Richard's family and going to Laura Beth's Harry Potter themed birthday party. It was a blast!

Grandad, LB and Walker at the park.

My fearless little man...at just 18 months old....YIKES!
Walker-man was worn out from playing hard at the park. He literally sat STILL by LB for a good 20 minutes before his nap!

Richard's grandfather, Pop (or the "big" Walker...he is baby Walker's namesake) meeting sweet Lucy for the first time!

These two certainly bonded during our trip!
Gran and Lucy Lu at LB's AMAZING birthday party. I didn't get a chance to take too many pictures, but let me tell you Becky did an awesome job decorating and planning this party!
One of the few pictures from the night: LB's Harry Potter birthday cake!
4 generations:

Visiting Nana. 4 generations!

During our visit with Nana, the kids enjoyed the fish pond.
We finished up our visit with a Freed-Hardemen baseball game! Walker had a blast!

Catching up!

I am way behind in the world of blogging! It has been almost TWO MONTHS! Well, a lot has happened and we have had lots of fun! Here are some of the pictures from my phone as a recap :)

Carter and Lucy Katherine during our visit to Henderson

Sweet cousins!!

Miss Lucy Katherine before her 2 month check up! At her check up she weighed in at 10lbs 12 oz which was in the 50% for weight (...when she was born she was in the 3rd % for weight! This girl can eat!) and was 22 inches long (50% for length). She is growing so fast!

Claire and Lucy Kate

Over the past couple of months Walker has come very, very close to climbing out of his crib...so we decided to go ahead and change his bed to a toddler bed. It did not work out so well. He would pound on his door while screaming at the top of his lungs for a LONG time. His naps went from about 2-3 hours down to about 45 minutes and he went from waking up at 7:00 in the morning to getting up at 6. After about 2 weeks of this we decided to covert his bed back to a crib. Naps have gotten back to normal and he is sleeping in again! YAY! Let's just hope he doesn't fall out of his crib and hurt himself!!

For the 45 minutes that Walker would sleep, this is where his nap usually happened....directly behind his door with his blanket in hand....I am thankful he is back in his crib!!!

Baby Girl.

The weather has been absolutely BEAUTIFUL so we have been able to spend a lot of time outside. Walker lives to be outside, he absolutely loves it! Sunday afternoon lunch:

While I was pregnant with Lucy, Richard and I started a tradition with Walker to go out and get ice cream every Saturday night. Walker-man LOVES his sweets and especially his ice cream...he gets his love of ice cream from his daddy :)

Not a care in this sweet little girl's world!

My little stinker :)

Richard and W at Monkey park one afternoon

Walker is definetly getting use to Lucy Katherine. He has started being so sweet to her. If she is crying he will run and bring her a paci and try to give it to her (usually ends up in her eye) or he will go and find her blanket and cover her up (usually over her face). He likes to "help" me change her diaper and will bring me wipes and try to wipe her (again...usually her face). He will even be so sweet and try to share his milk (typically results in a sippy cup thrown at her) and swing her (he pushes the swing with all of his might...thankfully Lucy Kate has not fallen out of her swing...yet). One day he wanted to hold his sister and would not let me take her away for about 10 minutes.

This was in the waiting room at Lucy's 1 month check up. At a month she weighed in at 8 lbs 8 ounces (25%) and was 20.5 inches long (50%).
