Pancakes and Burgers

We woke up this morning and decided to cook some pancakes before we heading to Nordie's to get Walkie some new shoes.

Walker enjoyed the blueberry pancakes while Cash enjoyed the chocolate sprinkles.

Wes was getting his egg ready to cook some pork while we were out so the boys played with their BBQ.

And after Nordstrom's we hit up Sandy's for some burgers.  They are so delicious and they have the best sweet potato fries!

The boys are napping and Wes is working in the yard.  When everyone wakes up, we are heading to play miniature golf with Greyson.  Wish me luck ;).

Spring is almost here

We have been enjoying the nicer weather that Austin had this past week.  The sun was out and the rain is gone (for now) and with the time change, we have more time after work to play outside.  Walker loves mowing the concrete and Cash still rides his Mopi, even though Walker has his eye on it, too.  I am trying to get him to ride his big bike that Amarillo bought him, but he is still a little nervous to go "willy willy fast" on it.

Can you see Walker?

The boys like to "fix" their cars while we are outside, too.

We bought the lot next door and Wes has started clearing it.

Cash wanted to watch himself cruise down the hill

Friday after work, we were at it again.  The weather has been so pleasant.

The boys took their truck all the way around the block.

Of course we have been ending the nights with some Paw Patrol

Telluride 2015

The Poth annual ski trip was in Telluride and we had a really good time.  The weather was amazing and the snow was perfect.

Wesley, Melissa and I arrived first, so we hit up the cute town for a drink while we waited for the others.  Our condo was ski in/ski out so we were right by the gondola

The next day, we woke up and hit the mountain.  I woke up with a weird stomach bug and I was nauseated, so unbelievably tired and my stomach cramped all day long.  My entire body ached and i was worried that it was the flu.  I pretty much slept every time we rode a lift and even on the benches outside a restaurant while we took a break. 

But we all still had a nice time.  

I went in around 2:00 and slept off and on until the next day.  I woke up feeling so much better!  The second day we tried to find some runs we had not skiid yet.

That evening we went into town and had yummy drinks and food.

The third day skiing, we hit it hard and we were all tired by the end of the day!  I cannot remember if these videos were from the second or third day, but there is one of Cameron and the other one is of Jenny and Wes.

Walker 17 months

Little Walkie is not so little anymore!  He went to the doctor last week for a nasty cold and he weighed 26.6 pounds!  He is still feisty, spunky and independent, but boy does he has a sweet side.  He gives the best hugs because he wraps his arms around your neck and while he "hugs"  you, he makes this "hhmmm ah" sound that makes me smile every time.  We are still working on gentle touches at daycare because he can sometimes play too rough and gets a little pushy when he is having a toddler tantrum.  But this week, his teachers were proud of him because a new little girl was crying and Walker walked over and gave her a baby doll.  Sweet little Walker.  He says, "mine", "mama", "dada" and "whats that?".  He walks around with his hands up in the air like, "where is it?" when he knows I am looking for something.  He is adventurous and I find him everywhere!  Walker loves driving the red jeep and holds his legs up in the air like Cash does when he rides his orange motorcycle.  You cannot ask this kid if he wants a snack.  You have to say something specific or he thinks you are talking about a fruit snack and will stand in from of the cookie jar and demand them.   Here are some pictures of our little guy this past month. 

Wesley reading Paw Patrol probably for the 100th time that day.

 Walker's teachers took pictures of him painting.  They were impressed by his skills and how long he painted his flower pot.  

Walker still loves blueberries and bananas, but cheese sticks and blueberry muffins are a close second.  He is also having fun using a spoon during meal time, too.  

Picture taking is pretty much a joke...  This kid does not stay still for one second.

He is sleeping in later and later (thank goodness), but sometimes he wakes up and I am still getting ready for work, so he hangs out with me in the bathroom and watches the ipad while eating his breakfast.

Dear Walker,

You are the light of my life.  There is something about you that just warms my heart every time I see you.  Maybe its your silly grin or deep raspy laugh, but whatever it is, I just love you so much.  I can tell you are going to be one bright star.  You are learning so much and just love your brother and watching you tag along behind him makes me smile.   I cannot believe you are closer to and closer to 2 years old!!!!  Time is flying by, but we are having so much fun with you!!

Love, mama
