All Aboard!

Last weekend we headed to Stone Mountain with Aaron's mom and Aunt to let Walker "Ride da train"

We made a stop and picked up lunch at the most delicious Colossus Pizza.  We had a picnic at one of the pavilion's because every fun day must begin with some fun food!  

 First stop: The Stone Mountain Train ride.  Confession:  I didn't know Stone Mountain had a train, a town or anything besides a laser show.  I guess I've been living under a rock.

 Walker LOVED the train ride.  He talked about it for hours and hours.  It was a nice break from the heat too!

 Water break with Daddy.  

 Dippin' Dots treat.  For everyone!

 Marlee begging for more, more, more...

 I can't blame her, it was a delicious treat!

We ended the day with some bribery candy to make it to the car and home!  It was a success!

3rd Birthday Celebration!

Saturday we got the chance to celebrate Walker's birthday with family and friends.  I absolutely LOVED having people over, seeing the kids laugh and have a good time and just getting to spend time with people we love so much!  These pics speak for themselves.  Thank you to everyone who was able to come and share this day with us!

 

Walker's 3rd Birthday

Since Walker's birthday was on a weekday, we decided to celebrate with him as a family that morning.  It turned out to be so much fun!  Marlee was still sleeping so we got some special time to ourselves with the birthday boy!

 We gave him a few fun boy gadgets including a sprinkler, ball glove and ball, bubbles and a bug spy glass.  His "big" present was a new balance bike.  We had been wanting to get him a bicycle, and did a little research through friends and the internet and went with this one.  It's made by Kazam and is very versatile. It's been a lot of fun for him so far!

 We hit up Chick-fil-A for lunch with some of our friends.  Walker had a little meltdown on the playground so Walker got to order his own ice cream to distract from the "trauma"

 I think it helped!

 Mega balloon war by the trash can!  Kept them happy!  

 After naps, we headed to Aaron's moms for some more birthday celebrating.  They fixed him a delicious meal and he got to open a few more presents.

 Hope he made a big wish!

It was so much fun celebrating with Walker this year.  He talked about his birthday all week, was so excited about friends, presents and celebrating his 3rd year!  He said all day, "My birthday is ready!"
