We've made a decision!!!!

After many votes and several conversations we finally decided on a name. I think Avery actually won the online vote, but in our house Peyton is the winner. I think the thing that helped make the decision was that Taylor said she liked Peyton most. So we hope that you like our choice! We're extremely excited to meet Peyton. She's really become very active recently!!!

Christmas in TN

We got to visit and have tons of fun enjoying Christmas with our families in TN.

December pics

I haven't posted pics in a while but I wanted to post some of the girls. We went to the ICE exhibit at the Texan Gaylord. I'm also so proud to announce that Dustin is now a seminary graduate. He now has his Master of Divinity.

Voting!!!

Well we're going to have our own little vote. I don't think there will be as much politicing as there is in Iowa for our vote, but we would like your input. Please know this does not in any way mean that we are going to definitely chose the name with the top votes or even one of these 5 names. These are 5 names that Dustin and I both kind of like. I think we both have one that we like a little more than the others. We found the one I like the most last night. I think I like it the most??? Please even if you don't usually leave comments go ahead and vote. Just comment as anonymous and sign your name if you want to. Let the voting begin!!

Avery
Ally
Madeline
Madison
Peyton/Payton

Keep in mind I would kind of like to use my middle name as her middle name, because it is a family name. My middle name is Ellen.

Pink, pink, and more pink

Well I only thought I had previously found my inner pink. It looks like now there's even more pink to discover. We're having another girl. Everything is going great and she weighs 12 oz. Yea!!! PINK!!!

Birthday pics

We didn't get many pictures, but here are a few that we took.

In the last picture the girls are staring to open their presents and their friends are playing on the gym bar. We borrowed it from a friend of mine and it was so fun for all the kids. They loved swinging like monkeys.

18 1/2 weeks

Here's a preggo picture of me. This was on Thanksgiving day so I was 18 1/2 weeks.

Happy Birthday!!!

To My Sweet Girls:
Wow I can't believe it's been 3 years since that exciting day that you came into our lives.



You 2 can make me smile so quickly. I'm so happy that I was able to spend every single day with you until I started work. I was able to see you grow and learn so many things. What a blessing!! It has been the hardest thing in the world to leave you every day to go to work, but for the most part y'all have truly enjoyed going to daycare and Amy's house last year. It's amazing to look at each of you and try so hard to think back to when y'all were our sweet little noodles. We're so excited to see you grow and to see how God will use you to impact this world.

Cameron, your so funny and I love the way you love to make people laugh

Taylor, your sweet smile makes me melt





Happy 3rd birthday Cameron & Taylor!! I hope it is a truly special day!

A few more shots of their costumes.

Halloween

Here's a cute picture of our sweet Dora & Boots. We had a blast trick or treating and then went to our churches Trunk R Treat. The girls have been sick but still had tons of fun. I haven't even uploaded my pics yet, this is one that a friend emailed me. More to come....

Pictures

OK so I'm going to try again today to post the pictures.

Hair Cuts

We took the girls to get their hair cut today. We chopped quite a bit off. Aren't they cute? We went to the pumpkin patch this evening and the fair last weekend. So here are some pics from both outings. OK I've been trying to upload these pictures for a few days & it keeps telling me there's an image uploading problem. Be patient as soon as I can I will try again to post these pictures.

First Day of Daycare

Pictures

We went to the stockyards with Mimi, Papa, Emma, & Sophia. We also went to a drive through safari & got to feed animals. Super Fun!!!

Dr.'s Visit

I went to the doctor this past Wed. and the baby is doing well. My due date is April 20th. Ohhh! and for all of you that are interested we found out that we're just adding one more to the Walker family. So that is a huge praise!!! I'm not sure we would have been able to handle any more. I know, I know it would have been cool to have twin boys, but I would have looked like a walking zombie again for at least 6 months. So now we're just hoping that in 13 weeks when we get to find out the sex, that we'll find out that we're having a boy. We'll see!!! I'll keep y'all posted and I'll have some pics to post after this weekend. Be patient since I'm back in school again. I'm very sleepy all the time!!!

Well.....

I wanted to let y'all know that Dustin & I are going to have another baby. I'm almost 5 weeks preggo. I know everybody's next question is, "what if you have twins again?" Well I've said in the past that you'd have to go ahead and commit me into the mental hospital, but I've thought a lot about it. We would be so nervous, but I know it would also be a blessing. We'll find out in 2 weeks how many babies were talking about. Our hopes are 1 baby boy. Of course it will be a while before we get to find out the gender, but thats what we're hoping for. I'll keep everyone updated.

ps. Dad if your reading this before I've talked to you, sorry I tried to call you several times.

More Home Depot Fun

We went to home depot again this past weekend and the girls made a art caddy/tool box. We even painted them and I think they turned out really cute.

I chopped it all off!!!

I've been wanting to chop my hair off for a long time. I had kept it long until my 10 yr. reunion, but the time finally came. I'll be sending in my ponytail to locks of love tomorrow. I really like my hair. Next time I will probably even go a little shorter. Dustin doesn't love it, b/c he wants my hair to be long all the time. I was so sick of my hair being long. So tell me your thoughts. leave me a comment and give me your opinion.

Tubin' on the TN River

The girls and I got to go play in the river for a few hours the other day. They're such big girls that they actually rode the tube by themselves.

Water Park

This week I've had 3 training days for school. So today we decided to take the girls to the water park right around the corner from us. Taylor was loving the slides. She even rode several of the big slides. This park has a very cool kid area. All the slides are body slides and have slide outs at the end, instead of a pool. So the water is never deeper than maybe 18 in. Cameron was a bit more apprehensive at first. She picked one little slide and just rode it over and over. One of our friends from lifegroup was there and the girls had fun playing with him. Eventually Cameron went down a couple other slides b/c Brayden did them. So I didn't take my camera (sorry), but here's a couple of pics of the park. We really had a blast!!!
