Family Photos







We had ourselves a merry little Christmas with 2 cancelled flights, one Christmas present confiscated at airport security, an almost missed flight, a bout of shingles (me again), late nights talking with family, feeling the coziness of being home for the holidays, and lots of family fun.



The Walker kids, Dan, Autumn- Dan's sister, and Sam-Dan's brother.



My little niece Capri is one of my very best friends. When we are together we are almost inseparable. We are two peas in a pod. I already miss this beautiful, perfect little girl.



We had some family photos of my side of the family done by my mom and me with my new camera! I feel like I am jumping on the photography bandwagon, but it is such a fun hobby.

It's the best time of year....



Christmas is in two weeks, Yeah! Since we aren't sending out Christmas cards this year, consider this your card.

Merry Christmas from us!

To my Aunt Debbie and my cousin Jessica

Okay girls, I am starting to feel a little sad because I can't look at your blogs any more! Can you email me an invite? Unless, for some reason, I got kicked out of the family blogging circle. (I cheered for the Steelers, I promise.) My email address is: lacrosselinz22@yahoo.com.

The Birthday Girl!




Dan here, making my annual contribution to the blog world. I just wanted to take a minute and talk about my little pumpkin-pants since it's her birthday today!

Dec. 2, 1982 I became the luckiest 5 month old on earth because that was the day the love of my life was born. Where would I be with out my little pookie-head? I don't know, probably sitting on a street corner somewhere in Seattle, playing guitar, trying to earn enough money for a can of soup. But little baby cakes makes my life complete and makes me a better person than I would ever be without her. Obviously she is freakin gorgeous (duh) and sweet, kind, loving, compassionate, selfless, hard-working and a list of like a billion other great things. She always puts others feelings and needs above her own and is always the first person to extend a hand of friendship to those who need it. I know I totally scored on this marriage deal, and I'm just glad she's locked in for eternity.

Here's some things you might not know about my little honey-buns:

She is a sucker for Reeses Peanut Butter cups. We will buy a bag of them and then she will force me to hide them somewhere so she won't inhale the whole thing. Then she will spend hours hunting for them, searching every square inch of our apartment, until she finds them. Then she complains that I don't do a good enough job hiding them, and tells me to re-hide them. This is not easy when you live in a one bedroom apartment. Then the cycle repeats itself til the bag is gone.

She gets so cold at night, she makes me tuck her into bed and stuff her pajama bottoms into her socks so that no cold air will get in.

She watches Dr. Phil and So You Think You Can Dance religiously.

She can never stay too mad at me as long as I offer her a back rub.

All she wanted for her birthday was a box of hot chocolate, the kind with the extra marshmallows, that comes in the little individual packets. But she always ends up using like 8 packets for one cup of hot chocolate, so I ask her why she doesn't just buy a big can of it. She says she only wants the packets for the fake, dehydrated marshmallows. For some reason she likes the tiny styrofoam marshmallows better than the real ones. I don't get it.

Her husband is kind of a nerd.

She is scared to death of spiders. I mean REALLY terrified. When I kill one for her and flush it down the toilet, she won't use the bathroom for hours cuz she's afraid it might crawl out and "get her."

Anyways, HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETIE!!!! You're the best, even if you are getting to be an old fart. Love ya!

Baby Lucy's Blessing

All the kids and grand kids on the Walker side, (except Mark and I.)

Beautiful baby Lucy Mae.

My sis-in-law Lindsey, Lucy, our grammy Walker and Mamma Sue.

A couple weeks ago, Dan got to go to Utah and attend baby Lucy's blessing. I was so disappointed to miss out on the family event. Lucy is beautiful and precious and I can't wait to meet her in a couple weeks.

Holidays


mummy cupcakes I made.


I know this is really really late...especially since I have been putting up Christmas decorations all weekend, but I wanted to remember our Halloween table. It seems a little weird to be putting up Halloween pictures when it's almost December...I am way behind. I stole the picture from a friends blog because we still have no camera. It stinks!

This year for Thanksgiving we kept things simple. We wanted to go to a nice restaurant but ended up just getting Chinese. I can NOT believe we ate Chinese food on Thanksgiving. I joked around with Dan over the past few days that we would end up eating Chinese food. I didn't actually think it would happen. Ummm, I'm kinda even embarrassed to admit that. So there is my confession, I was lazy on Thanksgiving, didn't want to cook or clean.

We got up early, did some service, ate, and then I dragged Dan kicking and screaming to New Moon. I got to see it earlier last week with some friends and LOVED it. Dan absolutely hated it, so he was a good sport to go with me. All in all it was a pretty fun day. But next year, we will be having a traditional Thanksgiving dinner, hopefully with family or friends. Happy Thanksgiving ya'll!

A Late Halloween

We had a wonderful Halloween! We were hippies. The jeans I was wearing were my mother-in-laws in high school. Groovy.

No camera

Still no camera....that's why there have been no updates. We will hopefully be getting one this weekend! Hope everyone has a Happy Halloween.

Silly

Silly kitty cats. I am probably the only person in the world who thinks these pictures are just about the cutest things ever. But since I have no cute babies to blog about you will have to see pictures of my cuddly balls of fur. It's funny where I find them sleeping through out the day.
