This afternoon I'm posting some pictures of our morning!

Ms. Marsha invited the Mommies in today to watch Audrey's class do their recital number. It all looked like it would go well and then one little girl started crying and before you knew it 1/2 of the class was crying! Audrey has always been one to cry if others are crying so I new I was in trouble. Marsha is so great with them....she stopped everything and had a ballet huddle (I'm a football Mom :). She got them laughing and reminded them that they were big girls (boohoo!) and that it was time to dance! Audrey didn't do much, but she didn't cry!

On the way home, we stopped in the bluebonnets for a few pictures! I wish I could have taken pictures of the boys too, but that's pushing my luck!

None of it's fair.....and thank goodness for that!

I've written before about our church! It's great....it's amazing.....it's a daily blessing in our lives! Don't get me wrong. It's not perfect and there are some things I would change, if I could.....but there are very few things!

The senior high minister, Brian McCormack has a website that I like to visit. He wrote a Lent devotional each day for the last 40 days and they have really made a difference in the way I've thought about Easter. I thought you might enjoy checking it out! Something Real…

On Maundy Thursday he wrote the following:

I am so unworthy of what you did for me this week.
Yet you did it all the same.
My hopelessness knows no bounds.
Your love for me in spite of my hopelessness knows no bounds.
I will fall asleep tonight thinking about those two things.
On this night when you were not granted even a moment of slumber.
This Thursday: I’m unworthy, yet loved.
Your Thursday: You were worthy, yet unloved.
None of it makes sense.
None of it is fair…and thank goodness for that.

Couldn't say it better!!!!

Hannah Montana

Shelby, Emma, Katie and Hanna (our great neighbors) made it to the Hannah Montana concert and we had a blast! I'll come back in later and blog in some of the details....until then, enjoy these photos!

American Girl

The girls were so excited to get to visit the American Girl Store and Bistro on the first Sunday of Spring Break. We surprised them with matching dresses as soon as they got up and we all had a great time! Dressed and ready to leave the hotel

We're here!

Smile and let's go it!

Mom might have been more excited than the girls

Audrey and her twin, who is sitting in her doll highchair

Emma with her twin, who is looking through the doll menu

Everyone got a napkin ring, that was a cookie cutter to take home

Even the boys had fun, since they were given 20 Questions by the hostess
Of course, it's pink lemonade!

Sisters!

We ran into a good friend and sorority sister from SMU, Kathy Leach Humphries and her daughter Madeline! We had to get a group picture!

The Patriot Cup

We spent the first Saturday of Spring Break in Texas Stadium watching the Patriot Games. Navy Lacrosse played Holy Cross and they Army Lacrosse played Rutgers. It was a fun afternoon and a treat for true Cowboys fans to watch Lacrosse in "God's Stadium"!

Adam and Clayton watching Navy kill Holy Cross

Walking into the stadium

Even the girls love watching lacrosse

Face-off on the star....awesome!

Proceeds from the day went to the Fallen Heroes Fund

Happy Birthday Adam (2/22/2008)

Finally, I'm posting the long-due post for my sweet Adam's birthday! I still don't have his baby pictures scanned, but I'm doing it anyway and will add those in later.

Happy 12th Birthday to my Adam Walker!

Adam as Ronald Reagan

12th Birthday - Cell Phone!!!!

Adam with Emma right after she was born

You were my second child, coming only 14 months after your brother. I remember the first time I thought I was pregnant with you. We were in Charlotte visiting B and Giggy. I waited until we got home to Frisco to take the test and, sure enough, those two lines popped up pretty quickly! When we told people, they didn't believe us! Who, in their right mind, would be excited about being pregnant when they had a 6-month-old baby? We were!

Shortly after we found out you were on the way we also found out that we were moving to The Philippines for Dad's job. So I spent most of my pregnancy preparing for this move and being pretty stressed out. I'm sure that transferred over to you....which is something I regret about that time.

We induced your birth early on February 22nd. I had an epidural before they even started the pitocin and it was a great day! You brother popped in and out and Dad and I chatted and watched TV. When it was finally time for you to be born, the nurse called over to my doctor's office to tell her to come....quickly! She literally came running into the room and you were born immediately. She said she almost dropped you....

Halloween (I promise)

You were a challenging baby for us....but I really think that much of that was our fault. You had the worst case of colic but now I'm sure sure that it's from the stress in my life. The first three months of your life was so crazy and stressful. Our house was on the market and we were packing to move all the way around the world. When you were five weeks old, we moved to a hotel so they could pack our house. And then when you were only 7 weeks old, we moved around to the world to a 3rd World Country. You lived in a hotel room for 4 weeks and were exposed to germs and stresses that most adults don't have to experience. When you were only 3 months old, you got e-coli from someone touching you out in public.

You were a trooper through 30-hour trips back and forth to the US.....you've had your diaper changed in many airports and over many countries. You adapted to different types of food and different people over and over.

You have always been my comedian and I can always count on you to make me laugh! In the happiest times of our lives and in the saddest times of our lives, you have been the one to pick me up and make me smile.

Baseball, football, golf, lacrosse......loves it all!

The Neighborhood friends....what a great group!

I can't believe you are 12 years old....you are a wonderful son and a great brother to Clayton, Emma and Audrey. I love you more than you know!!!! Happy 12th Birthday Adam!
