Random Pictures of Rachel

Just thought I'd put up a few random pictures of Rachel. Lately she likes to make BIG messes. One of her favorite things to do is to pull out all of her clothes from her drawer. Sometimes she tries them on, mostly she just makes a big mess!!



One day I came downstairs to find this mess. She went through Dad's drawers in the desk and pulled out all the paper's she could grab!



She discovered the cupboard in Grandpa Walker's entertainment center and thought it would make a great place to play.

She loves brushing her teeth! I thought I better take a picture of her doing it now to prove that at least at one point in her life she did it regularly!

Yes, we are indoctrinating her early!! I think she looks adorable in BYU blue!!!

Jenna's Baptism

Jenna was baptized on May 1. This is the same day that I was baptized, so we both thought that was pretty neat that we were baptized on the same day - just a few years apart! (We won't say exactly how many years!!) It was a very nice service, and afterwards we had our family over at our house for a light brunch. The best part of all was that Grandma Walker was feeling well enough to come. Jenna was so happy that she was there, and so were the rest of us. Some other people that traveled a long way to be there was Gram Maben (from Arizona) and Aunt Susan and Uncle Terry (from Wyoming). We are lucky to have such a loving and supportive family!!

Here we are with Jenna in front of our house. Grandma Walker gave her a lei from Hawaii - it was beautiful.

Jenna in her baptism dress that her mom made for her. She looked very pretty in it!

Jenna with her grandma's - Grandma Walker above and Gram Maben below. This is one of the last things that Grandma Walker was able to come to before she passed away. We are so glad she could come.

Jenna was also baptized on Gram's birthday, so there are all kinds of neat things about being baptized on May 1!!

Jenna's Birthday Party

Jenna turned 8 this year, and had a "late night" birthday party. She invited a few friends over, and we had a crazy hair contest. These girls know crazy hair! They had a lot of fun, and it was fun to see what they came up with!

This was Jenna's crazy do! She said she wanted to wear it like this for church the next day...too bad she has a mean step-mom that said no way!!

Everyone with their crazy hair-do's! Some were a little more crazy than others. The fact that Spencer's hair was long enough to even be able to give it a crazy do is more scary to me than anything else!! Happy Birthday Jenna!!!

Easter Dresses

I just thought I'd show off the girl's cute Easter outfits!

Rachel is such a Mommy's girl...she wasn't leaving my arms so that's why I'm in this picture!

I love this picture of Rachel in her dress! I think she looks so cute - but I also love her smile!!

Spencer's Space Derby

At the end of March the Scouts had a space derby instead of the usual Pinewood Derby. Both Spencer and Kasey were a little disappointed that they weren't doing a car this year - especially since Spencer took first place last year! But, leave it to my boys, they were bound and determined to find a way to win again. And sure enough, once they figured out how to make them go fast Spencer beat everyone again! We're not very competitive in our house!!

Rachel Turns 1!

Ok, it's a little late I know, but I wanted to put these pictures of Rachel's birthday up. She was SO CUTE with her little cake - she just kind of picked at it at first, but then when she realized it was chocolate and was all for her she was all over it!! It was so fun to watch her devour it!

I think we had more fun watching her eat her cake than anything else. She sure is a joy in our lives!!
