Walker Whisperings

Noodle in Ivory's WHAT?

2011-05-16T21:05:00.000-07:00

We went on a trip to Salt Lake City. We had a blast. We ate spaggetti for dinner, enjoyed a movie, and got some sleep.
The next day we decided to go for a walk. We went to down town SLC. We were exersizing in BYU SLC building, running stairs and playing. Jason said..."Jen, come quick" He was holding a green long 'something'. He totally thought it was a bugar. I said "OH, yuck, that is spaggetti" He agreed. So yucky!!! She had had that in her nose all night long. Jason said he kept pulling and pulling. YUM.

Easter was really fun. The Appartments had a Easter Egg hunt where we live. There were so many eggs. So fun for the kids. So nice of them.

Happy Birthday...and the "Y"

2011-03-28T11:53:00.000-07:00

I made the Happy Birthday Banner, so much fun.

My Boy!

His 'cape'. I made a train on the Birthday banner, he loved it so much. He would run around with it and was so mad I put it on the banner, so I made him a cape.

Hiking to the Y

At the top of the Y

Yes, mommy came too.

Fun in Denver!

So honestly. Who can sit at the table and reach back, open the fridge to grab the ketchup--without moving their butts? I can!!!! There is a benifit to living where I do.
Jason is doing great. He works hard, and when he can be home, he loves it, loves the kids and me.
I can't wait for the summer. They have a season of all seasons pass for $25 WOW! We will be playing all summer long at 7 peaks...
Business is great. I feel quite balanced currently. Usually I get overwhelmed with my business. It is just the perfect amount, we will wait till tomorrow.
Have you signed up for my business newsletter...do it, please, I wonder if the application is currently working. I send 1 monthly newsletter. Great deals...and updates.

I went to Denver to see my sister with my 2 kids. So fun! I love traveling. We went on the airplane. So fun. Then kids were great. We went to these 'sodie' houses. It was fun to be there. I would love to stay for the whole afternoon. The only thing missing was warmth! They made houses with sod for insulation. Super fun. I thought, I could live like that. Then, if it happened, I don't know if I would say the same thing.

Too much fun.

Trying to keep the syrup out of her hair.

On the plane home from Colorado vs BYU game

1st day of school

Love this boy! Just don't ask about potty training.

We went on a train to Colorado. Rex was in Heaven!!! I really enjoyed it but really don't know if I could have done it without a little help. Quite the experience. I still felt like I was on a train a few days later, like a boat.

Time is going by so quickly.

The day we moved!

2010-08-04T20:46:00.000-07:00

I need to whip out my camera's. I am crazy, down here in Provo. I need to capture it on film.

A few things I have learned thus far:

1. It's so so hot! I can't believe my thermostat in my house often reads 86. Wow!

2. I miss my mom, family and all my friends.

3. It really takes a man to get settled in a house, to hang the hard to hang pictures, screw in the valences, and put the beds together.

4. The wife is the one who packs and unpacks...

5. My husband really does love me.

6. My kids are so excited to be with Dad that they take naps!!! WOW!!!

7. I still am not sleeping.

8. It feels like Florida, hot, humid, I didn't anticipate humid?

9. My kids need friends.

10. I am grateful to the Lord for so so much.

So fun to be here in the new place. We feel we finally have things the way we want them in the house.

So, the one day that we decide to go to 7 Peaks, it rained all day. It is harder to enjoy it in the rain. Ivory sure had fun splashing.

We have been so busy running around and doing whatever, we still have not had a night where we say "what we doing tonight"? It has been nice to not be board yet.

I have 2 friends! 2 of the coaches wives are really nice, normal, and have kids.

Goodness, I am excited, but also nervous.

BIG THANK YOU FOR ALL THOSE WHO HELPED US MOVE! We realized even though we worked so so hard, everyday since the day we found out we were moving, we still couldn't do it ourselves. THere were so many that were so kind to help us.

I had to post this baby.

2010-05-23T22:15:00.000-07:00

THIS IS OUR MASTER SAND CASTLE WITH A MOTE! We had seaweed line the water resivor. So beautiful. Big rocks all the way around. Then, when we were leaving I saw this little girl reck it all. Couldn't she have waited until we couldn't see her.
Dang!

Disney Land!

2010-05-23T22:11:00.000-07:00

Wow, the best trip in our Walker Family (with all members) ever! It was the best of the best. We stayed at Cali right across from Disney Land. We would wake up in the morning, get ready, and walk out the door to see in our gaze...Disney Land.

We also went to Carlsbad California. So much dang fun!

kids!

2010-03-06T21:52:00.000-08:00

Wow, I love being a mom, here are a few fun photos. Life is going by so quick. We have been so blessed lately.
So me and Brighty went to Annie. We loved it.
I HAD TO PUT THIS LOVELY PICTURE OF IVORY ON HERE. HAVE TO LOVE THAT!

CHeww Choo!

I had so much fun at Ogden. We love those trains!

Halloween MADDNESS

2009-10-24T20:43:00.001-07:00

We went to a party a while back and I need to post these fun pictures somewhere! I love to dress up! Betsy Bulkley is amazing . . .She threw a party with these fun photos . . .

Baby Ivory

2009-08-16T17:36:00.000-07:00

So, I went in on Wed. and the Doc. said we could have the baby. We had strong contractions through out the day. I went out to lunch at my favorite restaurant then took a nap. I went home to clean my house, then time to go to the Hospital! We went in at about 7:15 pm, hung out, then got epidural at 8:3o, then got that baby out at 9:22 pm. It was wonderful. I am so so happy with having a new baby. I love little tiny babies. Ivory Ray Walker was born Aug. 12th 09; 5 lb 10 oz, 18 inches long. She has light brown hair. She is a good little eater. We are so excited.

Someone is 2!

2009-03-02T12:47:00.000-08:00

Well, life is great! I made this train cake for the big 2. We had tonz of fun that day.
I can't decide to change this to a private blog--I don't want to put lots of things up, but wonder if people think private blogs are a pain. Anyways. We are doing fab. I keep thinking about a garden--I wish I could plant one in my back yard!!! I am already thinking about starting some plants under lights. . .cool!

Our little Pixie Party

2009-01-05T20:28:00.000-08:00

Wow, I have been a mother for 4 years. We had a wonderful day to celebrate our little Pixie's Birthday. She was just beaming when she walked out of her room and said "Mommy, I'm 4". I asked her what we should eat, "rolled up pancakes" (Swedish pancakes), her favorite. For lunch we went to "Old McDonald's". She always sings Old McDonald Had A Farm . . . funny. She was very excited about everything, it was good to see that there can be so much happiness in one day. Truthfully, a little girl can't not have a few whiny moments specifically when brother takes her new toys from her. Her favorite toy was a little baby that moves her head and arms, so cute!
We had a Tinkerbell Party that we were able to have over little girls. We decorated sugar cookies in the shape of a Princess; foam princess stickers-art, B-day cake, presents and one more thing. We were all gathered together so they could hear me talk about pixies. I told them that every time a new baby laughs a pixie is born. On the movie Captain Hook, Tink was dying and she asked "Pan" to clap his hands, which saved her. I asked all the kids to clap their hands, clap, say "I believe", and WAMMO. We had "Fairy Mary" visit from Pixie Hollow. She was all dressed up and had pixie dust. Each of the children sat on her lap and made a wish. It was so so cute! When our little pixie blew out the candles, she struggled to aim the wind. She had to try lots before the last candle went out. I love Birthdays, it was fun to enjoy each moment.

SNOW

2008-12-19T21:53:00.001-08:00

It snowed so much today. I sat in my house at the sink, just watching the snow fall like crazy today. Little buddy thought the tractor that was pushing the snow was so so cool! Jason came home to start the shoveling, he does not only our driveway but usually 7 others! I make him hot chocolate yet he breaks a sweat working so hard. I love hot chocolate. The trick is making whipping cream--beating it yourself YUM!

Our Family Picture

2008-12-19T21:40:00.000-08:00

Over Thanksgiving a while ago we took these together. It was so fun to be together that weekend. I love to shop (crap, not good) so we went the day after Christmas to the BLACK FRIDAY. I have to confess I bought 5 pairs of shoes that day. They were all on killer sale, but honestly I tried not to speak of it with Jason. I love shoes! The other confession is how horrible I eat. We make Christmas Candy during Thanksgiving. We make nut balls, fudge, suckers, taffy, yeah I ate lots of everything.

The BIGGEST game in Utah History!

2008-11-23T18:32:00.000-08:00

We were at the Walkers this weekend and were crazy to see the Utah- BYU game. Josh, (Jason's brother) changed his shirt specifically for the game, it was a button down RED shirt. Collin (brother n' law) was also for the U'tes. Jodie, Michael, Jason, Jen, G'ma, Garry all for BYU. BYU pride was thick in the room, even the streamers were rooting for the "Y". There was a bunch of yelling for the first half, then we had to travel to a mission reunion (Ivory Coast). Jason was perplexed and could barely handle leaving. Anyways! Till Next Year!

Happy Thanksgiving

2008-11-12T20:43:00.000-08:00

So, where are we going to be for Thanksgiving? Oh Yes, right here where we live. I am so excited to eat!!!
Jason's favorite things to eat are turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes.
Guys are so weird, they like to eat food, me, I like the sweet stuff!
I love to dip chocolates with all the girls. The maple fondant is so so yummy! I secretly pop them in my mouth while I roll them! We make them around Thanksgiving so they will last till Christmas (think what you want).
Brighton likes whipping cream--she will have it all over her pointer finger!
Rex loves to drink the cider. Rex also will have his fingers all over the cream!

We're Whispering Tonight!

2008-11-12T20:36:00.000-08:00

We created our 1st Walker Family Blog! November 12, 2008 we are sitting on the couch and we couldn't decide what name to use, you likie, likie?
