Walker loves this hat.
He also loves putting on his Daddy's shoes.

Can't you tell by the smile on his face.

Tara and Justin just married
Walker dancing.-
The Saturday after the pumpkin patch was my cousin's wedding. They have been engaged forever and I was glad to see them finally married. Everything was so pretty and my cousin was gorgeous in her dress. Walker was cute also in his outfit. I must say that he was the best dancer there.

Second Pumpkin patch

Walker was pointing at all the pumpkins
He loved the big ones.The one he has his hand on is $65.00

Maybe next year or not.
Hayride
Boone family
Josh is teaching him early.
After telling you that Walker had the stomach flu for the week, that Friday he was feeling a little better and I had to get out of the house. So I called Walker's Nana and Papa to see what they were doing. We planned to go to Burt's pumpkin patch in Dawsonville for the day. Josh's sister told us last year that they went during the week and it wasn't crowded at all, we thought we would try it this year. Walker and I got up Friday morning and started getting ready to go then Josh came home and surprised us by going with us. I was so glad to see him and I knew deep down he wanted to go but just didn't want to admit it. We all got in his truck then squeezed everyone in at Nana and Papa's house. It ended being Josh, Lindsay, Nana,& Papa up front then me, Walker, and Grandmom in the back. Josh's sister was right, hardly a crowd there at all. This time we got to ride the hayride which took you back to see where they grow the pumpkins and really take our time letting Walker play with all the pumpkins. I can never get out of that place without buying their goodies. We bought two pumpkins,two fried apple pies(only b/c it said on the label "Walker's Fried Apple Pies") one pumpkin roll, one slice of pumpkin pie, and a t-shirt for Walker. All in all it was a great day. I can't wait until next year!!!

Ty and his mommy Jenn

Is this not a sad picture or what? While Walker had the stomach flu his friend Ty got the Croup. His was so bad that he had to go to the hospital Thursday and spend the night until Friday late afternoon. I talked to Jenn Monday and she said that he was breathing better and seemed to be getting his energy back. This just broke my heart when Jenn told everything they went through in detail. Ty is such a easy going happy baby all the time and to know that he had to go through needles and IVs and hospital stuff is unreal to me. The good news was that like always Ty was a trouper through the whole thing. Ty we love you and are glad to know that you are feeling better.

The reason I haven't updated the blog in a week or more is b/c all last week Walker was sick with the stomach flu. It started off Tuesday and ended Saturday morning. It was so heart breaking to see this little body throwing up and him not knowing what was going on. I didn't take any pictures of him but I hope he never gets it again. I know that is asking a lot but one can only hope.

We went to a pumpkins patch in McDonough on the 7th of this month with some friends of ours the Tingle family. I was so excited because Walker was going to see his friend Ty and they haven't seen each other since both started walking. At first they both didn't know what to think but then they warmed up to each other around the animals. It was so hot but I still think that they had a fun time. Maybe next year we can go later in the month.

Family Reunion

The Boone Family
The Mobley Family
Soon to be Grier Family
Walker and Briana
Last weekend we had a annual Dowd family reunion at Stone Mountain. I know everybody thinks Josh and I are nuts for looking forward to them, but we do! This year I found time to make three things: pumpkin layered bread(which I probably will not make again), strawberry cake, and corn casserole. After we ate some cousins and I went to the front lawn of the park to let Walker run around and take pictures. He had so much fun with his cousin Briana chasing her. Walker saw a lady laying on her back in the grass and apparently thought that he could jump on her, so he went running over to her with his hands up about to jump and my cousin James grabbed him just in time. She didn't seem that nice so I'm glad he didn't make it. After we played on the grass we went to wait to ride the train. We waited and waited and waited and decided that it was going to be awhile before we rode the train again. The train finally came and everyone shoves you to get on the train(even if you are holding a baby),you ride around the mountain and then you get off. Not worth the money yet for Walker. I remember riding it when I was little and they had shows and things going on the whole time you rode it but not anymore.

Dog Days

Okay, let me tell you what Walker did the other day! Walker was waking up from his morning nap and started crying. I went into his room and the first thing I noticed was that there was a diaper on the floor and when I went to pick it up it was wet. I looked around the diaper and it was soaking wet, so then in my confusion I looked at Walker. He was standing there butt naked!!!!!! Apparently HE took off his diaper and threw it on the floor then proceeded to pee on it from his crib. The distance that he made it and the fact that his bed was not wet at all was very impressive. I think he was crying because he had to poop, b/c as soon as I put the diaper on him he pooped within 2 minutes. Thank goodness he waited!
