HAPPY NEW YEAR !!! 2011 Wow!!

Family Fun!!! Dec 2010

The Powell pool was pretty fun! It was a sight to see when Donna was on the Lilly pads. and thanks to the life guard there was no casualties.

All mine!!!

Well I figure it is about time that someone posts on here I have been holding off so that it doesn't look like I am the only one that posts on here but apparently I am! Well things have been a bit crazy around here even with out trying. The end of school is coming and I am so looking forward to it. and hopefully a fun summer. Well most exciting news is that we were able to finalize our adoption. Ryan is now ours and from now on will be know as Ryan Matthew Walker it has been so nice to be able to know he is ours what a relief. Taycee is love getting to tell people and to have a little brother she is so proud of him. Well I was planning on posting some pictures with this but I am having some issues finding the one I want. or any for that matter. oh well just wanted you all to know any hoo!

Family!!!

Thought that you might enjoy these picures! I thougth it was about time we got some family picture taken I think the last time was Pre-cancer so... 2004?? Yeah about time!!!

Going going gone...

Today for the first time in our lives we are selling our first home. We will sign papers and then move on to something new. There are a lot of things that we will miss about this house. We put a lot of work into it and finally got a kitchen we loved with a dish washer and a back yard with grass things that you may or may not take for granted. These picture are from when we were renting it to Jake and Gretchen. I just wanted to post pictures so we would always have something to look back on and help us remember! and it was way cuter when Gretchen was the decorator.

and still more... FAMILY!!!

The Fishing boat!!
Fishers on shore

We took some great fisher people with us!!!

Look at this place we were so lucky!!!

What a crew!!

Silly girls

Burrrrrrrr! That is all I have to say!

Video's from the Family Reunion!

I thought that everyone would enjoy some of the videos that I got from the family reunion. I think that I would consider this a TIM moment or moments as well!!

The Wall of TIM

I don't want to ruin Brandee's fun of putting pictures on from the reunion-but I did think I better add the wall of TIM. Not that there weren't more Tim moments on the trip, but I didn't capture them on camera. I do think however that when the zipper of the life jacket poked up my nose and made it bleed was probably a note worthy "tim" moment!

FAMILY!!!

Wow our family is getting bigger. There are now 11 adults and and 9 kids. We were all able to spend a few days at sunshine Reservoir. It was a lot of fun and a lot of sun. Most of us were there from Wed. after noon. Sam couldn't come up until Th. night so we missed him. He stopped in Burlington and picked up Ashtin. It was a lot of fun to all be together. The food was excellent. It always seems better when you are camping. Taycee loved getting to sleep in a tent. (Over the 4th I set it up so that I could sweep it out. Taycee was having so much fun that I told her we could sleep in it. The things we do for our kids. Sam wasn't so thrilled about the idea so we waited until she was asleep and moved her to her bed and got to sleep in our own.) The first night up there I was in the tent with Ryan and Taycee by myself but I tried to be brave and lucky for us no bear tried to eat us. The water was a little cold. Too cold for Sam. But Mom (Donna) and I went for a swim every morning that we were there. It was cold when ya first get in but if you move around it starts to feel warm. The boat was fun even if Sam get "BOAT" sick. The tube was a hit Taycee Loved it. Most of the kids opted to stay off. Liberty would have rather went out on the fishing boat and fished. She was sure a little fisher women. It was a ton of fun just getting to be together. Oh one last thing JOE...He was so funny. He was the one that we had to watch the closest because he thought that he needed to be right by the water. But we tried to take him in with us and he decided that the water was just too cold for his liking.
I will put picture and video on here after Sam shows me how to put the pictures on the computer. "its a new camera"
