And Now...

We are excited to let everyone know that Walton baby #2 will be joining our family!! Due August 27th ;) Emma's mind changes daily on whether she wants a baby brother or baby sister...we will get to find out in 3 weeks! Everything is going good with the pregnancy, I have been more sick with this one but not enough to complain too much about...except to my poor hubby..good thing he loves me so much!! It's still hard to comprehend two kiddos...wow...we are really excited and happy for this little one, it will be fun to see Emma as a big sister!!

February and another special visit!

She loves to wear daddy's hats...and helping mom clean! Her jobs are usually mirrors and toilet seats;)
February..meant a visit from Nana and Pops! We were so spoiled to get visitors two months in a row! Love love loved it! I was a very big slacker and didn't take many pictures but our time with them was much more warm and lots of visiting and having fun!
Pops helped Emma climb the tree...she thought this was pretty neat!


Much time was spent outside...blowing bubbles;)


These two pics are classic Emma expressions;)

Our cheese ball...

Poor Nana and Pops didn't know what they had gotten themselves into when they brought her bike outside and started pushing her around... she never wanted to stop and loved every minute!


What a look...

Deep talking I am sure...;)

The thief and his side kick... Pops decided to pick some of the fruit from our neighbors tree to see how good they were even after our freezing nights, and Emma helped right along;)


I am guilty as well, I guess, because I tried them and wow they were amazingly juicy and delicious!!! It was sad again to see Nana and Pops leave, the time always flies by way too fast! Thank you both for coming..it means the world to us!!! We love you!

This little lady has made a game out of stealing peoples seats when they get up..so when you come back you find her sitting in your chair with all smiles!! It is never ending with her, she finds it funny every time!! The funny thing is..is that I used to do this to my dad when he would watch tv and then get up for something I would lay in his spot and he would come back and pick me up and spin me and put me on the floor and I thought it was so fun...I guess it is a little more of me coming out of our little lady!
How cute are these two...

Look at their faces! I could squeeze them both to pieces!! They are good little pals and we love going to the park to play together! His mom's company isn't bad either;)


Zoo time! We love that the weather has warmed up and we are able to go and play!

Feeding the giraffes ;)


After the Zoo we were able to meed daddy and go on a train ride around the park by the zoo! Emma thought it was great!!


Emma loves to wear mine or Andrew's sunglasses...if it is sunny she will yell "it's too bright...it's too bright I need mommy/daddy's sunglasses";)

We spent a few hours one Saturday at a state park close to us called Brazos Bend going for a bike ride checking out the alligators. They were everywhere and didn't care that there were people all over the place. These guys would lay right next to trail...

We have loved having this bike trailer..it has gotten much use since our little lady was just tiny! We would put her whole car seat in here at first until she could sit up enough to not slide all over, very fun for us!




We stopped and had a picnic and got attacked my bees...3 different tables and they followed us everywhere!! Emma enjoyed searching for sticks! My booty was hurting soooo bad though and the way back was brutal on my toosh, I had to try to sit only on one cheek at a time! Because of it though my great hubby got me a new cushion seat with padded biker shorts...yes I look goofy with a padded bum but much better!! Thanks love!


More Zoo this time with friends! Big Emma, little Emma, and Jojo:)

A must to go on for Emma when we go..the carousel!


Chips and dip in the back yard loving the warm weather!!

And playing in the water...supposed to be watering the garden;)



She thought is was soooo funny to try and get mom all wet!

She was much more wet than mom by the end though... I am absolutely loving the weather! It just makes me so happy!!
Besides all the fun we are having things are going great. Andrew got an internship with a Federal Bankruptcy Judge, which he is so excited for and will be awesome experience for him when he starts in May. We are so proud of him and how amazing he is doing!!! Good job Love! I am working and as it shows loving being at home with Emma and playing and playing! Life is good and we are so blessed!

Grandma and Grandpa visit!!

Random pic.. she loves to get in with all her stuff animals and us her binoculars to find "animals in trouble" ;)

January was lots of fun for us! My parents came to visit! We basically hung out and visited because it was sooo cold here! 40's during the day...maybe low 50's..made it sooo cold to go out in but we enjoyed all the time playing and visiting in the house! One day we did venture out to go to the USS Texas battleship. This was the ship that my Grandpa..my dad's dad..was on during World War II. It was really neat to see and imagine what my grandpa did while being on the ship!


These guns were everywhere on the decks and it took 12 men to run one...crazy huh!

Emma loved sitting on them and exploring but the metal was soo cold..much braver than her mama!




Inside the ship was much much warmer;) Look at these beds...I can't even imagine a ship with tons of stinky men and then sleeping this close to everyone! Amazing what they did for us and our freedom!

The little 'store' on the ship to get treats, smokes, and magazines;)



There were all these massive ropes everywhere..

Barber shop;)

The little lockers they had to keep their things..


Yes...the bathrooms..

Mess hall.. There were all sorts of little places that we didn't get pictures of but it made me amazed at what my Grandpa lived with ;)


Tight places to up and down to different levels.



You were able to climb all the way up to the top of this:)



The ship was amazing and so fun to get to go see with my mom and dad!
At the house there was much playing going at Emma's insistence, she was in heaven! I came up to find Grandpa playing playdo with our little lady:)
Emma, Grandpa, Grandma, and I also took a day and went to San Antonio to see the Alamo. I forgot to take pics but we had a great time!
Funny story I don't want to forget...my mom and dad decided to take Emma to McDonald's to play since it was too cold outside while I stayed home and slept for a while after working. So I sent them with the GPS set to get to there and showed them how to put in to get home. Well they got there and played for couple hours and then decided to go for a little ride. It turns out the GPS was dead..I forgot to put the charger in the car..so they were on their own! It was completely over cast so they couldn't tell at all where the sun was...which my dad figured if he could have seen it he would have known which direction to go;) And it also doesn't help that it is completely flat so no natural land marks to show you anywhere to go. They didn't want to call me to wake me up, so they figured they could just find their own way...well two hours later they decided they had to call me;) Andrew and I tried to explain to them how to get home and which direction to go...still didn't work! So we told them to stop and not go anywhere and we would find them;) We did and had them follow us home! We got a great laugh at it!!! Poor mom and dad..lost in Texas!! Thanks for the funny laugh!!
Thank you Mom and Dad for coming to visit!! We LOVED having you here!
