Behind again...

but what else is new? I finally picked up my laptop late today from the computer tech...to their defense, the hard drive that they installed back in February was faulty...it was still under warranty, but that meant they had to send it off to the west coast and then had to wait for them to send the replacement....read TAKES A LONG TIME!!! Anyway...all of that has had me behind on all things computer. But, I realized tonight that I had downloaded some pics a few weeks ago that I hadn't yet shared on the blog. We all went over to Grandpa and Grace's one night for pizza and to hang out a few days after Grace got home from her surgery. The babies were cute, cute, cute...just like they always are! Hope you'll enjoy a few pics! (I somehow managed to change the upload settings half-way through this post, thus the pics are scattered all about...sorry! I just don't have the umph pah to go back and re-upload them tonight...enjoy!)

We had pizza for supper, and *somebody* wanted none of it, UNTIL Aunt Autumn walked out the door holding a piece (she intended for herself) - Walker then suddenly developed QUITE the interest and took it out of her hand and started working on it.

Then Alexa saw it and before we all knew it, it was *her* pizza! LOL

WHAT???
Oh - got it back again!
LOVE it!

What a sweet cousin!

I just love sleeping young'un pics...what a cutie pie!

Oh, how sweet!

Head on over to my sis's blog and see the sweet pic she posted...LOVE IT!

Walker's Big News....

yea! That's right...baby #2 is on the way! I don't have a firm due date yet (and if Button is anything like W...add 9 days anyway!), but looks like January 9 or so. Woo hoo! Needless to say, it's been an exciting few weeks around the Williams household! And now a few more pics of W after he was playing in the water...

He looks so vampire-like right here...such a funny shot. He's had 12 teeth for forever now, but yesteday I noticed I think he's got a few more starting to come in.

He was so proud of himself that he managed to carry 2 cups at one time...

What a cutie pie! Thanks for stoppin' by!

attention, attention...

I finally got some pics of Walker playing in our water tub posted below on my WFMW post...just didn't want anybody to miss them who would enjoy them...more tomorrow! :)

WFMW - Splish Splash & Measure

So we've all either heard it or said it - "Mom - I'm bored!!!" - in honor of the start of summer, Shannon over at Rocks in my Dryer has asked all WFMW participants to throw out some boredom busters. My little guy is only 20 months, so I haven't had a lot of dealings with boredom yet, but in brainstorming this past week I thought back to an activity I remember from childhood - scooping, splashing & measuring water. The concept is simple - children LOVE water - start with a dish pan, a plastic tote/storage box or aluminum tub...basically anything that will hold a decent amount of water. Fill it up with water and then add various cups, scoops, measuring cups, etc. to the mix. I set our station up on our deck (so the mess is minimal) and my little guy can play, splash & dip water to his heart's content. As I said before, our little guy is just 20 months, so for him, this is mostly just for fun...sure, learning to pour from one container to another is a learning exercise...but mostly he's just splishin' & splashin'. However, for older preschoolers, you can also really turn this into a learning activity about measuring - and FUN! Our little fella LOVES anything water, so this one definitely works for me! For other great boredom busters, head on over to rocks in my dryer!

Walker & Papa

Walker has always loved a phone, but recently we've let him talk to Brad a couple of times when he's been driving home. Walker will talk for a little while...and then hang up. So cute!
