Kids Favorite Evening Activity

One of the kids favorite things to do in the evening is to turn on KC and the Sunshine band and dance on the table in the front room. I always miss taping them during their best moves but you will get the idea from this video. They both love to dance. Kimball loves this record! he listens to it at least once a day. Brindi just loves music. Any music comes on and she starts a boppin.

Happy Halloween!!!

Happy Halloweem Everyon! Can you believe that I am finally posting?! We finally got our computer fixed. Ya! We ended up going down to my sister Janean's house for Halloween. It was so much fun to see everyone. We all had a great time. However, Dave did not get there until later cause he had to work, but so glad he made it safe.


Here are several of the adults that dressed up. They go left to right: Steve, Sheri, Sarah, Kristi, Dad, Dave, Joe and Brittany


Kimball begged to have Dave be a Pirate. When we went to the store he kept putting pirate stuff in for daddy. So alas we got a few things but not an entire costume. Brindi is a pumpkin princess witch. Joe is a spartan cheer leader and Brittany is a Sailor.


Brindi and Daddy sharing a banana.


Grandma Denille and Colby. Grandma came late too due to work, but we were so glad she made it.


Paige being a hippie. She was the one who kept trying to get everyone to go into the neighborhood Haunted House. I hate Haunted Houses! She begged me forever to go in and finally I did. She owes me big! :) Kimball was not afraid at all and when others would scream he would tell everyone to calm down.


Steve Jared and Sheri looked awesome. Jared begged to be captain hook and for Steve to be Smie (don't know how to spell it) and Sheri was a pirate. Don't they look so cute?!


I Love Jared at Captain hook!


Nani, Paige and Papa T


Maisey and Hylee (Not sure if that is how you spell her name) They were quite the pair. :)

We had a fun Halloween! We hope everyone else did as well. I will try to do better at blogging.

Introducing Brindi Lynn Walker

I stole this Picture from my Sister-in-law's, sister Heather's blog. Hollie paid her sister to take pics of Brindi as a shwer gift for me. I am excited to get the rest of the pics on the cd she is making me. She took a few of Kimball, Dave and I as well. It was loads of Fun. I will post more when I get the cd. Thanks again Hollie and Heather! You guys are awesome!

A Bit of Silliness

I know it has been forever. Well here are some pics of Kimball. He has become quite the character! One day Dave had music playing on his phone. Kimball stole it and Dave's glasses from him. He wore the glasses around the house and either danced to the music or pretended to talk on the phone.....so serious. Another day he found Dave's Snow boarding boots and tried to escape outside with them. Thanks heaven for the chain on the door. If he finds any tools around the house he goes around pretending to fix things. So one day he tips his lightning McQueen car over and pretends to fix it. He also now like to empty our clothes hamper and hide in it. He is lots of work and we love love love him! No pics of this but he is starting to quote movies already. We let him watch One Hundred and One Dalmatians the other morning. When I was feeding him lunch he out of the blue says...I'm not sleepy mother I'm hungry I really am. He is a sweetie. Hope you enjoy the pics.

Kimball Collage

So being the procrastinator I am I decided to post a collage of what Kimball and our family has been up to.

First up we have our Baby prodigy video for you .

We watched a kindergarten kid play the piano on an e-mail a friend sent me this morning. Kimball got inspired to play along with him. We have a button you Punch and it plays a song but only as you play. You can make it look like you really are playing. Anyway we thought he looked real cute playing his Twinkle Twinkle Little star song.

Last Weekend Baby Koy was blessed. Mike introduced us to a yummy Mexican restaurant. We stayed in a hotel and went to the Church that morning. Unfortunately I have no pics to show for it. :( Our battery once again was dead. Anyway the luncheon was beautiful. It was so fun to get together with family. Dave decided to have us stay one more night in the hotel since we were there already. So Mon morning we went to a little park/zoo. It was only a dollar for adults and fifty cents for kids. Now that is our kind of family activity. Kimball was in heaven. We had a blast. then my sweet sister-in-law called and took us to lunch at their favorite pizza place. It was delicious. Then she said she had a bunch of extra Cars stuff to give us. Kimball has been playing with them everyday. Mike and Hollie really are too good to us.


Next up we have a slide show of Kimball hitting up the bottle.

We had some sparkling Cider with our dinner the other night and when it was gone he kept trying to drink out of it or have me put some water in it. Boy did he have fun with it. He cracks me up.

The Zoo

We took Kimball to the Zoo for the first time several weekends ago. He was a hoot to watch. For quite some time all he wanted was to play in every one's water. He threw his hat into the giraffe and Dave hopped the fence to get it. I must say it was a little disappointing cause the Zebras were gone along with other animals and all of the cats were asleep in their cave. No tiger, leopard nothing. Kimball's favorite was the small animal exhibit. He ran from one window to the next. He also loved the lame train ride. :) Does anyone else swear there was a hippo at one time there? Anyway it was fun.

The Pool

One or two Sat ago my cousin Tammy and I got together at our my place. We just bought Kimball a pool for the summer and the kids went swimming. they had so much fun. Tammy and I were just laughing cause they were all freezing but did not want to get out. It was a hoot. I tell ya this pool is already paying for itself and definitely will when it gets hotter.

My guys in Bow Ties

One Sunday we could not find Kimball his tie so Dave busted out his old bow ties. He loved sporting a bow tie with his kid. Don't my guys look handsome?

Catch Up!

Goodness we have been up to lots since Easter! I am getting really bad at keeping up on computer stuff of any type. I logged on to my e-mail today and had like a hundred e-mails. Yikes! So since Easter we have gone to Moab, had mother's day, had a beautiful addition to our family, and a lot a lot a lot of yard work.

Lets start with our newest addition to the family. Koy Tanner was born On April 16th to my Brother Mike and his lovely wife Hollie. We were gonna visit them in the hospital but they did not allow kids int he rooms at the hospital in Logan. Which in many ways I am sure was nice. So the sat after he was born our family went up to see him. He is soooo...cute and definitely belongs to Mike and Hollies beautiful family. They were way too gracious. We were planning to bring them dinner/lunch, but they and Hollies sweat mom made us a bar-b-q. It was so fun too visit with them. they are an amazing little family.


Next on my catch up agenda is that we went to Moab. It was pretty fun. Pretty much every one's vehicle broke down at one point of the trip. It is really quite funny now that I think about it. I must admit that our trip last year was more fun cause we stayed more days and did not try to jam everything into two days and really only one full day. We arrived Thursday evening and later had a bar-b-q and Janean's condo. Then Joe Sheri and I went swimming. On Friday we went to Gemini Bridges again. It was amazing. We were going to go under the bridges, but before we got there we stopped for lunch and it was hot and the kids were ready to leave. So we gave it up and went home. We went swimming later. There was a car parade that night cause the car show was the next day. So Dave and I went and cruised in it. it was fun. Then Sat. we went to the car show and we were gonna go to the arches on our way out, but it got too stormy. :( Oh, well next time. And next time we will stay more days.


Mothers Day was wonderful. Dave got up with Kimball that morning and made me breakfast. He also did the dishes and straightened up the house a little bit. He is so sweat. Then everyone went over to my mom's for dinner. Even Mike and Hollie made there long two hour drive to come down. That was awesome and sweet of them especially since they have that new little baby. Janean and her family was there, Joe was there, and Sheri and her little family was there. Matt was not there cause the sucker went to work in Baltimore for the summer. :) Later on we went to Dave's parents and had dinner. It was nice. Kimball loved seeing grandma, grandpa and aunt Kristin.

Last but not least we have been doing lots of yard work around the apartments. I really had no idea how much work goes into getting the property ready for summer. One day we ripped out or trimmed most of the bushes. We still have to the ones by the fence. Of course there is mowing and edging, but we had to dig out the sprinklers and cut grass away so they could spray properly and now we need to fix about five heads and dig two up to see why they are puddling up so much. We dug up all the weeds and mulched the ground. The next day we went and bought all of the flowers and the next we planted them. Hopefully from here on out it will just me maintaining what we have done.

Easter

Happy Easter Everyone. I hope everyone had a nice Easter. On Sat. We went to my sisters to do an egg hunt and celebrate her and my brother's birthday. It was a lot of fun. On Sunday Kimball got to wear his new suit. Later we went to Dave's parents and had dinner. We did a small egg hunt in the basement there too.



I t was great, but my favorite things was Testimony meeting. There were so many testimonies that were so good. One in particular stood out in my mind. It was given by one of my friends. She talked about a young man making mistakes during the sacrament prayer. He made it a second, and third time. The bishop stood up after and said that when he got it right it was as if he said it right the very first time. I am so grateful for all that Heavenly Father has done to make it possible for us to make up for our mistakes.
