I Wanna Ride!

We have this super old PW50. It was given to us, when I was pregnant with Lauren, by my old boss, Dr. Buchmiller. Lauren never really followed in her daddy's footsteps. Garrett on the other hand, is all about it. So for the last year or so, he has been going out to the track with Spud, in typical WT fashion...

Pink & White motorcycle, wearing jeans.

So, we decided, it was time for him to look the part!!!

Garrett picked everything out, all the way down to the RED TIRES???

New Gear, just like Dad's. New Plastic...It might as well be a Honda just like Dad's!

HELP.......I can't see anything!!!

I'm watching your every move Daddy!

Dad said Papa would tell him to "Remember the 3 O's"

On the pegs...On the gas...Off your A^S

Mom says I have my Dad's style! I GOT IT!!!
Watch out DAD, I'm taking you on the inside!

Pool Day

The kids were on Spring Break last week. We didn't go anywhere this year. They had been at home pretty much all week, with the exception of a few little outings.

They were bored out of their minds. So, we decided last minute

to head out to Spud's work and swim a little.

Garrett thought it was necessary to read all of the safety rules.
I don't care what he reads, I'm just glad he is FINALLY enjoying it!!!

This was Lauren's first time jumping off a real diving board.

Notice the board is still perfectly horizontal and she is falling off.

It was a fun afternoon!

Kalahari

Well I have to apologize ahead of time for this post. I had to finger

through a ton of photos and was absolutely dreading it.

A few weeks ago Lauren had another out of town Cheer Competition.

The destination was Kalahari Water Park & Resort in Sandusky, Ohio.

We only stayed for 2 nights. However, it felt like forever with everything we did...

Went to the water park 2 nights and 1 afternoon with 2 full days of competition.

Have you ever stayed in a hotel when they were hosting an event that revolved around cheerleaders?...OMG! As if, just being around a million chearleeder's wasn't enough...

This is what we saw for almost 3 days. Every door was decorated...

If I have to say myself...Lauren's was great! ( the pic was not good)

Can you believe it, Lauren has her own security...She's so SASSY!!!
The dad's are always a huge hit at these event's.
I bet none of you ever thought you would see Spud support his girl like this!!!

The girl's did so good!

After 2 days of competing, they ended up with third place...Out of 9 teams!

I thought Lauren was going to freak out

when she was in line waiting to ride this one...
She loved it!
The obstacle course!

Garrett is so proud of Lauren, but you know what he's really thinking?......... "When is soccer season starting?"

Garrett loved the wave pool...

And the obstacle course...

And the boogie boarding...

(Although he wouldn't go back on, because his shorts

fell off the first time, sorry no picture)

Not sure, if he likes this one though???

The pic is terrible, but I think he's smiling?

Of course, Spud wait's until we move out of California to try this!
I got a full sequence. Make sure you scroll all the way down!

I forgot to mention that I also competed on a parent team,

and I am proud to say we WON!

(There were only 2 teams signed up, then at the last minute, the other team backed out???)

OH, WHAT WE WILL DO FOR OUR KIDS!!!

Snow Storm # ???

Well this last week was a fun one!!! We had a Level 2 Snow Emergency for 2 days.

A couple of inches of snow, then an inch of solid ice, finally 8 more inches of snow. The kids barely had any school. Tuesday was a 2 hour delay start, Wednesday was cancelled as well as Thursday. The kids only have 1 snow day left, then they have to make up at the end of the year. They did not seem to mind though. To top it all off, Spud was in South Carolina working. Have I mentioned how much I love to shovel the snow in 10 degree weather. FUN...FUN...FUN...

Lauren found this icicle.

It was like pulling teeth out to get Garrett stop for just a minute for this pic.

Snow Angel


Lucy looks miserable...But she actually loves the snow.
She throws herself a toy, watches it sink in the snow, then digs it up, all day long.

North Carolina

We went to the Vogel's house in North Carolina this past weekend.

It was a great get away, considering our high for

the weekend was in the single digit's.

The boys went to the neighbor's house in their PJ's to borrow ice.

This is TRUE Walters/Vogel fashion!

If anyone know's Erin, this shouldn't be of any surprise. It was 9:30.

The kids spent 2 days planning this dance party.

Thanks Vogel's for a great weekend!!!

Weekend Away

Lauren's cheer competition was out of town this weekend.

So, we decided to get out of town for a night.

This kids thought it was cool to be able to swim in the dead of winter.

Garrett is growing so fast, it won't be long before

he is holding Lauren on his shoulder's.

Thank goodness for dad!

My excuse was that I had to take the pictures!!!

Spud has become quite good at cheerleading.

He and Lauren are pretty good (on the Wii).

Relaxing in the Hot Tub.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to all.

We decided since Nana and Papa were here, we would stay

home and ring in 2009 together!

Well most of us anyway!!!

Lucy didn't make it...

Nor did Garrett...

But, Lauren sure did. Not suprising.

Here is the crew that partied all night.

Of course they had to play the Wii in order to stay awake.

I guess Lucy did make it??? She must have been resting her eyes!!!
