Too Funny!

Brandon has grown up so much, and is one of the funniest kids I know! He has such a fun sense of humor. Last night he decided that he wanted to wash his face with the girls...



He is such a stud.

The "Untraditional" Thanksgiving!

What a fun Thanksgiving we had here in the Walker home! We decided to do everything "untraditionally," from the rectangle pumpkin pie to the Thanksgiving dinner at Chuck-a-Rama. It was really great actually. We didn't have to cook anything and we didn't have any dishes to clean up afterword! It was an extra treat to have both sets of grandparents come with us.

After we had stuffed ourselves silly, we headed to Grandma & Grandpa Walker's house for some games. Of course, Grandma whooped up on everybody and won every game we played. She's a champ! When we got home from Idaho Falls, we hadn't played enough for one day, so we gathered around the big screen TV for some Rock Band. We even got Mom rockin' out on the guitar! I was surprised at how good she was :) She is a rockstar at heart.

We finished the night with a movie and some popcorn. It was a great Thanksgiving! I am definitely grateful to have such a wonderful family! They are everything to me.

Going private

I've decided to change my blog to private, so if you like to stop by- leave me your email address and I'll be happy to add you to my list!

Cousins!

I have never had so much fun as I have had living with my cousin, Julia! She is an amazing girl and I am so grateful that we get to share this semester before she gets married. I remember some of my older cousins being roommates in Grandma Walker's side apartment while they were in college, but I never knew how much fun it could really be! It's not that we even do a lot of extravagant things; we have the most fun just sitting in our room, laughing ourselves silly when we are supposed to be doing homework. Julia is fun, comfortable, and a joy to share a room with! I also learn a lot from her. It has been exciting to help her plan her wedding (in December) and share this wonderful time of life with her! I couldn't ask for a better roommate, cousin, and best friend!

Halloween Fun!

This year was a pretty mild Halloween, but I loved it. I guess that's what happens when you get old :) haha. Julia, Mel and I went to my mom's house and made a spooky Halloween dinner. (Thanks to Mel Gunnell for the ideas!) We boiled carrots to make nasty fingers, made mummy wraps out of hot dogs and biscuits, baked some beans, and made the little apple mouths. It was a lot of fun. We took some up to Grandma and Grandpa Risenmay, and Grandma couldn't bring herself to eat the fingers! She kept picking it up and squishing it, trying to be brave, but she couldn't do it. She said it just felt too much like her own fingers! We had quite a laugh. They are so much fun to visit!

Of course, Brandon had to get a few screams from us girls and kept jumping out at us wearing this disgusting mask. But crazy things began to happen when Mel got a hold of the mask....

...You can make up your own story.

Cleaning Day

Julia and I realized that our bedroom was getting a little bit dirty, so we took a Saturday evening and took it to it! We cleaned out the closet, organized the shoes, unstacked the piles on the desk, and took care of the mountainous piles of garbage that had somehow creeped up. It was such a nice feeling to get into bed that night in a squeaky-clean room!
