Family Ties

Let's see...its been so long since I last posted that I don't even know what all has happened since then. Well, we had our first Mother's Day. That was exciting. We spent time with my dad's family on Saturday and split Sunday with my mom and Kathie. Oh yeah and since I have such a wonderful mother-in-law I got a nice little Mother's Day shopping spree (this took place during Randy's trip to the Depot with Isabella...what a nice father-in-law).

Kyle finished up the semester only to start back up again. He is taking a summer school class right now so he can graduate in December. His class will only last a month and he gets to celebrate finishing it by going to a Counting Crows concert in California AND going to Disneyland for 3 days so don't feel too sorry for him.

Alison and James came to Phoenix for the holiday weekend so we were able to spend some time with them. We had a surprise birthday party for Kathie on Saturday. I think it was the first time I have actually been able to surprise someone...I always end up spoiling it. We had a good time and ate way too much. Then on Sunday we ate way too much again and topped all of that excitement off by watching the Suns lose. Now I realize that some of you may be Dallas fans but I just have to say that I am getting really tired of Dirk. He's always mad about something isn't he? However, if the Mavs do beat our Suns I will be pulling for Dallas in the end...don't ask me how that logic works.

Last but not least, the Bella update. She's growing like a weed, a very beautiful weed, but a weed nonetheless. She smiles and coos more everyday and Kyle and I couldn't be more thrilled with our precious baby girl. I have misplaced the cord for my camera so I can't add any pics until I find it but for now I know that Randy has posted some on Flickr so go ahead and take a look.

Back in the saddle again

My husband informed me that it was time for another post so here it is. It has been a pretty busy week in this Walker household. Kyle is getting ready for the end of the semester. He is preparing to close out his second to last semester of college and to say that he can't wait would be an understatement. He is pretty much up until 1 or 2 every night working on his final papers. I know he will be relieved when it is all over. As for Isabella, she is growing like a weed and developing more of her sweet little personality every day. She is smiling here and there and beginning to coo a bit, Kyle and I freak out every time she does one or the other...it never gets old I swear. She had the privalege of spending the entire day today with Nana Walker and she loved every minute of it...she told me this herself. As for me, I started my new job on Monday. I definitely think I'm going to love it and I know it's going to be rewarding so that's fantastic. But for now, I'm just trying to process all of the intricacies of a state funded job and trying to process what goes where and when. Right now I just can't wait to get out there and meet my kids. As of right now they have me assigned to 14 families and are hoping to have me up to 20 by next week...ahh!!! So...if I'm still standing by this time next week you may hear from me again and if I'm not, well it was nice knowing all of you.

I hate Kobe Bryant.............thats all
