Benjamin Rawlins Walker (officially)

Brad blessed Ben at the beginning of January, and we had some friends and family over after the affair. I love getting everybody together!! I'm not the most attentive hostess, but my fridge is always open if you're willing to get your own drinks :)

Laurel and I decided to have Ben's and Scarlett's blessings at the same time, so that my parents would only have to make one trip out. It worked out really well. K - it was really more like controlled chaos - and I loved every minute! Here are some photos from all the shenanigans.

I'm not sure whose idea this was... but Koben ended up tied up with yarn and Kaiya was walking him around the house like a dog. He thought it was a good time.


A couple more shots of guests... we figured we had about 50 people in our little house! Ca-razy.
Here's Amy, my kids' surrogate mother. I don't know what I'd do without her!

Allyn and Marsha. I love this picture - they're like this all the time.

Scott and Megan: Kaiya's spoilers.

How cute is this picture of Vance? He is such a stud.

Thanks to everyone who came to support Ben and put up with my blubbering. We are very very lucky to have such amazing friends and family!

This was a better-than-special day. I loved that Ben and Scarlett shared it with all of us.

Sayla Larsen and Kaiya have dance together on Tuesdays. Imagine a dozen uncoordinated three-year-olds running around a studio in tutus. It's pretty much the cutest thing ever. The girls were playing at our house after class the other day. They are so funny together... See? Told ya.

Valentine's Day photos

Valentine's Day seemed as good an excuse as any to schedule long-overdue photos for the kiddos. (And I'm posting all of my favorites because I can.  Also so that my mom and Marsha can tell me which ones they want me to print for them.) Ben was an absolute turd during this photo shoot, which is why I'm amazed these pictures turned out as good as they did.  I will have to Photoshop that sucker out of his hand when I order prints for the wall, though.  Here's our little GQ junior model...  Seriously, how could anyone stay mad at that face?  And here's Miss Kaiya!  She is growing up WAY too fast for my liking. This one is my favorite! So... once Ben finally cheered up, Kaiya acted up, and our attempts at getting a decent sibling photo were kinda' thwarted... This one will have to do :)

Christmas 2012

Christmas Eve We attempted to teach the Walker grandkids the nativity story by having them act it out.  Ben was uncooperative and the costumes need some work (my fault), but the kids were pretty cute nonetheless.  Ben cheered up when he got to play with this super friendly golden retriever puppy that my in-laws were babysitting/hiding (he was to be a Christmas surprise for some friends).  What is it about this breed that is so stinkin' cute!?    Kaiya decorated some cookies for Santa by emptying two jars of sprinkles. Christmas Day   Since we video taped the whole procession, we neglected to take too many pictures Christmas morning.  But here are a couple shots of the magic.  Among other things, Santa gave Kaiya a puppy... as real a puppy as she'll ever get, anyway :)   Santa also brought Ben his own little car which he's been driving around the basement for three days (alongside Kaiya on her new birt...
