Ellery Lynn Walker "Ell"

Here she is!!! She was born last night about 10:00. Faith did great, she only pushed twice and she was done. She has lots of black hair and she is beautiful.
Oh look, she likes me.
Drew was sitting right outside the delivery room when the baby was born. She came in shortly after. It has brought up some really interesting question. We are so glad Ell is finally here. Her mommy and daddy are so proud of her and she will be just as spoiled as the rest of the kids in our family.

Wrestling

Drew set this all up outside so we could watch her and Kinnly wrestle. She used to be able to take him pretty easy but it is getting a little harder for her lately and she isn't happy about it.
He wasn't quite trying yet
Peyton jumped in and Jordynn wanted in on the action but she was too scared to wrestle so she hit them with a golf set.
He finally gets on top. As soon as he starts winning Drew is done.

Mosquito Bites

We went up to haws park for family home evening and Kinnly got some mosquito bites on his head. Immediately they swelled up so I could tell that he was allergic to them. By the time he went to bed he wasn't feeling very well and I could tell that his head hurt. When he woke up the next morning this is what his head looked like. I took him to the dr. and he had had a allergic reaction to them and then one of them got infected in the tissue of his head. On top of this bump the infection moved down his neck and into his lymphnodes in his neck. He was a mess. They put him on strong antibiotics and antihistamines and he was a fine a couple of days later.
One of the mosquitos bit his ankle and it was swolen for awhile to. We live in the wrong place to be allergic to Mosquitos.

The house!!!

The house is coming a long really fast. We are excited. Can't wait for it to be done. Here is the front view.
Back View

Hopefully we will be in my the end of August. This house started out at 1700 sq. Feet. There were some option bonus rooms over the garage. We were going to finish them later. Everyone talked us into finishing the upstairs because it's cheaper to do it all at once. So then we were at 2250 sq. feet. Then, our framer told us about all the space we were waisting upstairs with the trusses we were using so we changed those and now we are at 2900 sq. feet. So now we had all this room upstairs so we moved our Master bedroom upstairs and now we have a huge suite upstairs but it means that Drew gets our old Bedroom downstairs so she has a big bedroom and bathroom to herself with a huge closet. The good news is the house is framed now so it can't get any bigger.

St. Louis

Mike and I went to St. Louis last week for 5days. He had Drug Court Conference and so I tagged along and it was so relaxing being without the kids. Here is a picture of the Gateway Arch park. it was beautiful.
Here is the view from the top of the arch (stupidest thing I have ever done, i am not afraid of heights but this was just stupid)


We went to a Cardinals game at Busch Stadium. We had great seats and the stadium is so cool. Every time we go out of town this time of year we have to see a game.

Faith's Baby Shower

We didn't even know that they owned the same dresses. They are so cute.
Little Girl clothes are the cutest things ever.

Faith is Due in about Three weeks. We are soooo excited. We had it at Blue Bird Cafe. It was so cute.

Jr. Rodeo

Here is a video of Braydon riding a Steer

Here is a video of Kinnly riding a sheep at the jr rodeo a couple of weeks ago. So Funny. I love the serious look on his face. He didn't cry until Mike picked him up. As you can see he hits pretty hard.
