High 5!

Happy 5th Birthday Walker! Walker turned 5 a few weeks ago (I know, I'm a little behind on the posts) and we had a great weekend celebrating his birthday. We spent a few days in San Diego where we went to the beach and Legoland. The boys loved digging in the sand while dad and Abby spent the entire time in the waves. She's more adventurous that I thought. It was a lot of fun and we plan on many more trips to the beach.

Legoland was a lot of fun as well. Walker loved the legos and again, Abby loved the rides. We spent all day there and had fun. We also went to the new Sealife exhibit that is part of Legoland. That was pretty amazing. We saw all sorts of cool things and the kids really enjoyed the hands on part and exploring the different tanks.

We got home Saturday night to get ready for Sunday which was his actual birthday. We had the Watson's over and all the cousins to celebrate his birthday. It was low key with some animal cookies we made and some ice cream.

All in all it was a fun weekend and I know we all enjoyed the adventures. I still can't believe Walker is 5 yrs old. He will be starting Kindergarten this year and that makes me so sad. Walker has had a little bit of a rough start as a kid but with the help of many great teachers and specialists he has come a long way. He had is first real experience at preschool last year and it is just what he needed. The teachers could not say enough about him. You never really know how your kids are outside the home unless someone goes out of their way and tells you. At least it was nothing but good news with him.

Walker has grown up to be such a caring and helpful boy. He is so good natured and is a problem solver. He likes to make peace and does so at home with his siblings. He does what is asked of him, helps pick up and loves to cook with me. I guess that's why it's so sad to see him start growing up because he's not a little boy anymore. I can't wait to see what school holds for him. He is so talented and detailed in his work. The things that this boy can do has amazed many.

We love you Walker and are blessed to have you in our family.
