He has decided to join the Coast Guard and is on his way to basic training.

I love you with all my heart!!

2009-10-09T16:59:00.011-06:00

I know that i haven't blogged about the wedding yet but i am waiting on more pictures. It will be soon. So I thought I would tell you about some other fun things that we have been doing.

Brianna won some tickets for the Ogden Dinosuar Park and invited us to use them with her. It was alot of fun. I would recommend it to everyone.

Then we went to check out the Tracy Aviary on their free uea weekend. Hayden and Kamden really liked the birds.

We have had alot of fun with our adventures lately and look forward to many more. We will also have lots of birthday pictures coming. October is a busy month.

HELP ME WITH MY BAIL!

2009-09-19T19:01:00.005-06:00

Yes you read that right. I need help raising my bail to help out Jerry's kids. I am going to spend some time behind bars raising money for MDA. I would love your donations. Any amount would help $5, $10, $20. They have asked us to try to raise $1200.00, that amount would send 2 kids with muscular dystrophy to camp. If you could help out please contact me by Wednesday September 23rd, (801)573-8258 leave a message and i will call you back or email: jt_walter1@wirelessbeehive.com. Thanks for anything amount you are willing to share.

2009-08-06T11:44:00.002-06:00

Just a quick reminder of Casey and Alicia's wedding coming up on Saturday September 12th. Put it on your calendar. Invites with more details will be sent out soon. We are so excited.

Life just moves on.

2009-07-31T14:42:00.024-06:00

So with graduation, 18th birthday, 40th birthday, other big family birthdays, anniversaries, moves, college, junior high, a wedding, old friends moving, getting to know new friends, breakups, meeting new family, babies, broken hearts, trips, 90th party for gramps, ect., what can i say. This is a crazy year. But then i think back and look forward and think, when won't my life be like this? Would i want it any different? NO! This is my life and welcome to all those that are a part of it.

2009-05-17T14:08:00.029-06:00

We have had so much going on lately. I just don't know where to start.

Well from the newest to oldest. Cuz with my old mind i can remember yesterday.

Kylies Dance revue was saturday night. She did a great job as usual.

She is very talented in dance like her sister. She also competed at lagoon.

We had a great time riding the rides at lagoon!!

We also attended a car show that Casey had put his mustang in. It was at Thanksgiving Point and was large. We walked around for a couple hours. Boring!! :)

We attended a wedding ceremony for Jeff Boothe. I feel so old when kids from my YM/YW group are getting married. It was real nice. The bride looked beautiful and the groom looked scared.

We have some save the date activities. Hopefully everyone has been recieving the announcements from Banana. She will be doing alot of graduating this year.

She already graduated from Dental Assistant School.

She will be graduating from Seminary on MAY 31st.

Anyone interested in attending can call one of us for the details. All are welcome.

She will then graduate from Tooele High School on JUNE 3rd.

I can not believe that this is all happening.

She will then turn 18 on JULY 25th. My babies aren't babies anymore.

Speaking of babies!

Hayden is doing great!! He is such a joy in our lives!!

Brianna Banana

2009-04-18T20:05:00.021-06:00

So I just can't believe how time flies

when your having (fun?) a crazy life!!

Updates on Brianna.

She is getting to grown up.

She had her last high school Dance Company Concert.

She did a great job!!

She graduated from Dental Assistant School on March 30th.

She gave up her saturdays for 3 months for this certificate.
She is going to try to work her way thru college by being a dental assistant.

She graduates from high school and seminary in may and june.

Then she will work this summer and then go to Weber College in August.

:( :::::: (tears)

This was our congrats on being accepted to Weber dinner at Teppanyaki
I am so amazingly proud of her but sooooo sad at the same time.

KYLIE

2009-03-25T15:01:00.005-06:00

We are so proud of our baby! She is growing up so fast. It must stop.

She has been taking an advanced math class. She went to it 2 days a week at 7:30 am.

She learned alot. They had a competition as teams against other groups from around Tooele Valley. She was the only girl on her team. She wasn't excited about that!!

But they tied for 3RD place out of 12 teams! Great Job Team!!

Lifes Little Surprises

2009-01-25T22:30:00.006-07:00

Isn't it funny how life has a way of surprising you over and over again.

Well our first surprise was that we were going to be grandparents much earlier in our life than we really expected.

Then life surprised us with the fact that we were getting a grandson even though some of us were sure he was a she.

So lifes last surprise in this situation is our little Hayden James Walter was not waiting until February to make his entrance. He wanted to come today.

So yes we are the proud grandparents of a bouncing baby boy.

He was about 3 1/2 weeks early. He is 5lb 10 oz and is 19" long.

He has a little bit of blonde hair and is of course just handsome as can be.

Alicia is a trooper. She started having labor pains this morning about 9 am.

Waiting until 2 pm to call her doctor.

Went to the hospital to be checked between 2:30 and 3 pm. Was fully dialated.

Waited and few for a doctor to get in the room.

Started pushing at 4 pm and Hayden was delivered at 4:30 pm.

Amazing!!!!!!!!!

And Mommy Alicia is doing great. So is Daddy Casey, even with the easy job that he had.

Better pictures will come when we get our camera tomorrow from the hospital. These will have to do for now.

Before

After

2009-01-20T12:01:00.005-07:00

I know I haven't updated in a longgggg time. It is hard to decide where to begin.

Christmas was good. New Years was fun. And I am Happy that it is a new year.

We have a baby coming in about a month. We are so excited.

And frantically trying to get ready since he will call our house home for a little while.

We are working on a second bathroom right now. What a project.

I forgot all the details that go into starting from nothing.

Hopefully it will look like the picture in my head when we are done.

We also did find out that we are having a Grandson.

He was spoiled at christmas and is even here yet.

I can only imagine how next christmas will be. :D

Pictures to come.

FOOTBALL

2008-11-22T20:02:00.007-07:00

I graduated from Alta High School in Sandy.

Wasn't really into sports.

But I am sure proud of the fact that they took the title

for the 5A Football Championship.

21 - 17

They played against the Bingham Miners.

Way to go Hawks!!

And speaking of football.

How about those UTES!

48 - 24

Thats all I need to say!

A GREAT DAY!

2008-11-07T13:22:00.007-07:00

Today is one of the best days I have had in a long time!!!!

I got out of work.

Then I got to do a session in the Salt Lake Temple with one of my most special friends. She actually taught me everything that I know about being in the YW program.

Thanks & Love ya Dee.

Then, as if my day wasn't good enough I got to babysit my newest nephew Kamden. YEAHHHHH!!!!!! I just love having babys around. They are such a gift in our lives.

Just think, he was just spending time with our Heavenly Father. How lucky for him.

I have some pictures of him here and when I figure out how to put video on I will put a little here. Actually when Jim gets home to teach me.

Happy Halloween!

2008-11-05T10:33:00.007-07:00

We had a fun week last week.

There was alot going on.

We carved pumpkins of course.

Then kylie dressed up and we went with my nephews to
main street and did our trick-or-treating.

Update on Kamden

2008-10-22T13:45:00.003-06:00

So mom and baby are doing well. They are at home and finding a routine.

Do we look that old?

2008-10-21T17:25:00.016-06:00

So i used to look in the mirror and still see someone YOUNG!!!!

I look at my husband and see the sexy boy (minus a little hair)

that i meet at lagoon and said to my friend "the cute one is mine".

And for 22 years now he has been mine.

So why do i feel so old?

Well the answer is...................

In February we are going to be grandparents :)

What a difference a new title can make.

Instantly i feel OLD!!!!

I am so excited to have a great friend to go thru this with.

Dorann and I will be grandparents at the same time.

I actually feel like i am going to be a grandma x2.

Welcome to this Crazy Famliy!!

2008-10-18T08:32:00.009-06:00

We are so excited to welcome the newest member our family.

Kamden Shaun Main

He made his great debute on Thursday October 16th at 3:20p.m.

He weighed in at 7lb. 9 0z. and was 21 3/4 inches tall.

HE IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!

I know, I should say handsome cuz he is a boy,

but I think he is beautiful and handsome.

YEAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2008-10-15T11:44:00.004-06:00

He did it. Jim made #1 on the captains list for work. He is such an amazing man. I don't know what i have done to deserve him but i am sure glad that he is mine. We are sure proud of everything that he does for our family. He sacrifices so much for us all the time. We will try to repay him with our love.

CONGRATULATIONS BABE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WE LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thankfulness

2008-10-13T16:24:00.021-06:00

Wow am I thankful for good health. I don't make a good patient. So I am on my second week of being in bed and I hate it. Never thought I would not like the sight of my bed. AHHHH!!! I have injured my sciatic nerve. Can you say painful? Again wow. I didn't know my butt, right hip and leg could hurt so constantly. I would definitely not make a good chronic fatigue patient. Props to those of you that have pain on an everyday basis.

I also would like to say how THANKFUL i am for my awesome husband. Along with taking care of me, the house, the kids, meals, scouts, delta, other family obligations, and sleeping(very little of this) he also tested for Captain at work. We will find out how he did tomorrow. But how ever he did he is a hero in my eyes for even being able to do all this at once and stay relatively sane. I love you babe!!!

I should have had alot put on my blog with all this down time but i am a slacker. So now that i was told i still cant go back to work i figure i better do some blogging.

We have had alot going on. Brianna decided to join the cross country team and has kept us busy with some races and running in the region meet in the cold and snowy weather on saturday (brrrrrr!). She really did great for starting this with not much training.

First Race- slower than she wanted to be but she didnt give up and finished the race despite the confusion on which way to go. 2nd run up settlement canyon. I wasnt able to be there to cheer so yeahhhhh banana. it is a beautiful place to run but a real rough course considering it is along the mountain trail.Cold snowing region meet in orem. She PR in every race. Wish she would have started running sooner so that we could have enjoyed more.

She also decided to try out for homecoming queen, in Tooele you do that by being in a pageant. What alot of work that ends up being. Never been involved in anything like that before. Didnt know what we were getting ourselves into. But I am so proud of her. She shocked me with a confidence that i haven't seen in her for along time. She looked so beautiful.

We also had Caseys 20th birthday. I feel real old. I can't have a 20 year old. The years fly by. The kids grow up so fast and become adults right before your eyes. Poor kid, since i have been down i still owe him a birthday dinner. Hopefully i will be better enough soon to make it up to him.

Well i will save some more for tomorrow. I am sure i will be bored again tomorrow.

P.S. I forgot to say that jim also took care of kylie while she had the flu. even more amazing!!

Visiting Relatives

2008-09-22T12:11:00.005-06:00

So a couple of weekends ago we went a visiting. It was fun. Kylie doesnt remember ever going to the zoo so we thought we would take her to visit some relatives. lol.

The white aligator was cool looking. We hope alot of you got to see it while it was at our zoo.

Tawna, Banana, Kylie, Shaun and Danny standing in front of the rhino cage. Of course Jim is always behind the camera.

Kylie is getting pretty big. I am afraid that she is going to pass banana up pretty soon.

Phoebe's nephew Porter was at the zoo the same day as us. He was telling Banana sunday at church that the zoo was R-rated. When banana asked him what he meant he told her about the monkeys that were picking each others butts and eating it. It wasnt very nice.

Riding the alligator. Yes its a fake one. No one was injured in the taking of this picture.

We had a great time and if i ever figure out how to do the slideshow thing I will be able to share more of our pictures. At my age it is learning one thing at a time.

Great Saturday

2008-09-07T11:21:00.004-06:00

We had a great saturday. And the weather was much better than last saturday.

We got to watch 2 of my awesome brothers play soccer.

They are amazing atheletes. Loved watching.

Memory Tag

2008-09-03T11:55:00.002-06:00

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

NEW GOAL

2008-09-01T19:17:00.012-06:00

So after some complaints, about not updating often enough, I have made a goal to do it once a week. It may be boring cuz my kids are teenagers and they dont do the cute funny things to share like little ones. But here you go.

So today we went to the zoo, NOT.

The weather was crap so this is what we did instead.

It was fun at hollywood connection but not the fun we would have had at the zoo. Maybe next time we will make it to the zoo. Hope everyone else had a great labor day!! :):)

2008-08-27T19:18:00.002-06:00

Just thought i would put some random pictures on here just to let anyone new checking out our site get a laugh.

So much going on

2008-08-04T15:03:00.006-06:00

The summer is so crazy that some days i don't know which way is up. I will try to update a few of our crazy, fun experiences. This pictures is my mother-in-law getting a bowling award for her many, many years of service in Tooele. She works real hard at keeping a youth league going. We are very proud of her.

This picture is of the fun stuff my husband gets to be involved in. He and a group from work built a float for the parades around the valley. Kylie is riding on this one in the front corner in a black and white shirt.
After that parade in bluffdale Kylie jumped on a helicopter with my cousins from china. All she said when she got off was that almost every backyard had a trampoline. She is a crazy kid.
We have had fun watching Alicia play softball. She really enjoys this sport. We hope to be able to watch her more.
We also had a new pet for a few weeks. It was a hampster. He was really friendly and soft. His name was Dusty. He didn't stay with us long but we loved him. So now we have two frogs that we got at the park on July 4th. They are living longer than we expected.

This is just a little appetizer of some of our activities. I will post more in the days to come. I think i am just exhausted from all the crazy fun that we have. Girl's camp pictures are to coming soon.

Happy Birthday To Me!

2008-07-05T21:43:00.006-06:00

So I don't love birthdays anymore. It's not the getting older that i don't like. It's the fact that I feel that i can't have everyone around me that i want for my birthday. So my wonderful husband granted my wish of running away for my birthday. It was great. We went camping to Current Creek. It is beautiful up there. Here are some pictures to show what we got to do for my birthday weekend.

St George

2008-06-15T20:35:00.009-06:00

Well it was our annual walter family trip to the tuachan. Its always great to run away but even better to get home. We saw Les Miserable this year and it was a little challenging to follow. We should have learned a little about it before we went. Oh well. THere is always next year. So we get to stay in mesquite nevada and here is what the kids do for fun.

They always love the water. It is the only way to be able to stand the 104 temperatures down there.

It also happened to be our 8th Temple Anniversary while we were away. We decided it would be the neatest thing to do sealings in the St. George Temple since we had never been there and it was absolutely awesome. We also took family pictures at the temple grounds since it is our family anniversary.

And then we head for home. Not knowing that we are coming home to the tempature of 51 degrees at night. Wow thats cold. But we saw some beautiful sky on the way home that really put a good end to our trip. Glad to be home. And looking forward to next year.

Homecoming

2008-06-03T11:02:00.003-06:00

A couple of weeks ago we had my brother come home. It was such a great time in our life. We are so proud of him. We had such a great time listening to his stories and feeling his spirit.

We also are able to talk about our other great news. We are going to have another gorgeous little boy in the family in october. My sis Britta is pregnant. It looks like a few of us are pregnant but only britta is official.

2008-05-21T16:39:00.000-06:00

So kylie had a dance competition at lagoon on the saturday before mothers day. She is awesome. But what a long day that was. We (meaning Jim and I) are so old that we just opted for a spectator pass for the day. But it was sure fun watching the kids on the rides and what an experience to watch all the people at Lagoon. Sometimes i just wonder???
This is Bri, Kaleb(Bri's "Friend"), Kylie and Kristi on the Jet Star. They stayed in line while they fixed this ride and still got on.
The new ride called WICKED. It is absolutely a crazy ride. And it was Kylie and Kristies Favorite ride. They are crazy. They probably would have ridden this ride a hundred times if the line wasnt so long. Oh to be young again!!!!
And as always they get soaked on the water rides but they keep getting on them. It was a great day.

2008-05-05T16:44:00.000-06:00

We are so excited. We are on countdown for elder daylens homecoming. 10 days. We cant wait to hear all about his mission and get a day off from work. Everyone in this house is also getting summeritis. They are sick of school and are ready for the summer. I am ready for the summer just so that we maybe will have some consistent weather. And maybe some invitations for bbq's with our friends. We have alot of big events this next couple of months. We will be having our 20th anniversary and jims 40th birthday. We can't wait to celebrate big. We would also love anyone that checks out our blog to leave comments so that we know when you look. Thanks for being interested in our lives.

My First

2008-04-30T16:30:00.000-06:00

Welcome to our family blog. I am a newbie to this blog idea. So bear with me. This will be my first posting. I hope to get better with time. I think this is a great idea to keep in contact and update. I am a proud mom so i will be bragging about my family. We just had Junior Prom and Bri looked amazing. She is so beautiful everyday so i was so excited about how she got even more beautiful with a little help from her amazing aunts. Kylie just finished a big report for school on Washington State. She did a great job. Casey and Alicia are getting ready to graduate and go away to Texas for the summer. Jim and I are just hanging in there with all the crazy busy schedules. Looking forward to Elder Lemmon(tawnas brother) coming home in a few weeks (15 days exactly). Looking forward to the crazy summer events.
