Walking with Will

Today was the March of Dimes, March for Babies. Since Will was a preemie and benefited from the March of Dimes we really like to stay involved. The activities started at 4 at the park and Preemie Parade and the walk started at 5. Will walked across the stage in the Preemie Parade and got his medal. Then we all walked about half of the course before we took a short cut because we were hungry. :) After the race we had Johnny Carinos and hung out in the park, the boys even got a massage in the massage tent. Over all it was a good day, it was sad to read about all the stories and talk to all the other parents. We are very lucky that Will has been as healthy as he is, we are so blessed. We will walk again next year and can't wait!

Zoo Trip

Will and I made another trip to the zoo yesterday. We went with a couple of girls and their sons from our Bible Study. We went early in the morning since summer is getting her fast. Will is still really enjoying his wagon and I enjoy it too! I think next time we are going to try and make the seal show, should be fun!
That would be a jaguar you see in the back ground.

Car Shows and Naps make for a good Saturday!

Saturday was the Oklahoma Hot Rod Association Car Show in Guthrie. Will's GiGi just got a new Hot Rod, its a 1938-1946 Sedan and Will's Pa has a shop that sells tires and parts for these cool cars. So we traveled to Guthrie to hang out with GiGi and Pa. The show was held in a awesome park with tons of play ground equipment for the boys. We couldn't stay all day because Mark had a golf tournament. When it was time to go Camden came home with us and Aunt Heather came over and hung out for the afternoon. It was a ton of fun! GiGi's car even ended up winning a prize!

Outside in the Sun

Will and I spent some time outside today enjoying our new attractions. Will got a picnic table from Aunt Alicia, (that we have had since February and I have not taken a photo yet, sorry honey, love you), and he also got a Sand and Water table from Mark's Dad and Shawna that we got this weekend. We are so lucky to have such caring people in our lives. Needless to say Will loves the tables and it is so nice to have such a coordinated backyard. He loves his tables so much that he had to take a bath as soon as he came in, his hair was full of sand.



Here is Will in his car. He has learned to climb in and out, so cute!
Look at his belly!!


Wearing more presents from Aunt Alicia and Abigail- Thank you
And yes I know I had him dressed in swim trunks and a swim shirt...it is necessary with the water table!

Will's trip to the Orr Family Farm

This weekend was Camden and Jaxon's 2nd Birthday. So on Saturday we had our frist trip to the Orr Family Farm. We got to go into the animal petting area, ride the train and the merry go round. Will had a ton of fun and so did all the other kids. The farm is a neat place, very kid friendly, we hope to go back very soon! I hope to have other pictures to post soon, my camera card was full...opps!

Will with the bunnies. One bunny had to have weighed 30 pounds or more!
More interested in the camera I am afraid.

The lambs were my favorite! So sweet.
