Walker's 2nd Birthday Party!

 Walker loved his Dora, Diego, and Boots cake!




 My dad is going to kill me for this one!



 Mom and I got a good laugh watching the boys beat the pinata (and Tyson, too)...
 ...only to tell them that all you have to do to get the candy is to pull on the string. :)



After Tyson's Spring Game this past Saturday (and after going to our neighbor's birthday party), we celebrated Walker's 2nd birthday with my parents.  Walker asked for a "Diego party," so the boy got a Diego party...complete with a creepy-looking Diego pinata.  Ha!

Happy birthday, Walker!!

Walker's 2nd and Tyson's 32nd Birthday!






 









Happy 2nd birthday, Walker!!  I can't believe my baby boy is 2!

We celebrated Walker's birthday (and Tyson's, too) today with an impromptu party at Chuck E. Cheese's just the four of us.  We had so much fun!  Tyson said he always wanted to have a party at Chuck E. Cheese's.  Ha!

We also have a little family party planned for Walker this weekend after Tyson's Spring Game, and then we are going to Disney on Sunday to celebrate, too.  I feel a little guilty for not throwing him a party, but I hope I've made up for it! ;)

Happy, happy birthday, Walker!  We love you to the moon and back!  Here's to hoping that the 2's aren't that terrible! ;)

Happy Easter!


Did I mention that we had a rough morning or what?
 Sadly, this is the best picture I could get of the boys.

Happy Easter!  We had a great day, and I hope you did as well!  Tyson actually got the whole day off (which is unusual since he has been working 7 days a week with 6 of them being 14+ hour days)...more on that another time. ;)

Easter morning got off to a somewhat rocky start; you see, Tyson and I decided to let Walker sleep on the bunk-beds with Jake for the first time.  I have a whole post designated for that, but let's just say this...there wasn't a lot of sleep to be had by the Summers' boys last night which made for a rough morning.  We made it to church and made it back home quickly for nap time.  After that, though, we enjoyed a nice afternoon in our pool and grilling out.

What a wonderful day to celebrate such a joyous occasion!  Happy Easter!

Disney with G Mama!

My little pirate Mickey.
Jake and G Mama.  Walker wasn't being cooperative.
The Race cars.  This is Jake's newest favorite thing at Disney World!
How in the world could Jake see out to drive? He's barely clearing the steering wheel!  Ha!  Maybe that's why G Mama's mouth is wide open! ;)
My little race car driver.  He for sure couldn't see out!  Ha!  In fact, he barely met the height requirement; needless to say, our car was all over the place!

Dumbo!!
 

Tyson's mom came to town earlier in the week for her Spring Break.  The first thing on our agenda- Disney World!  Mary Ann said she hasn't been in over 20 years, and I think we showed her a good time.  Again, we were all pretty tired when we got home...and we only rode 3 rides!  Ha!  One day, we're actually going to make a full day of Disney.

We're actually headed back to Disney World next weekend as we celebrate Walker's 2nd birthday.  I can't believe I just typed that he's going to be 2!  Time is flying by!  Anyways, I think we're gonna try out a different park, so I'm excited.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Church Easter Egg Hunt







Today was Jake's school's church Easter Egg Hunt...does that make sense?  He goes to school at a church, but Tyson and I haven't decided if Jake's school is where we want to go to church or not.  Or did I just make it even more confusing?

Anyways, we went to an Easter Egg Hunt today, and despite the 90 degree weather, we all had fun.  Tyson couldn't go, though, since he had to work, so it was a little chaotic at times with both boys by myself.

Walker's group (age 0-2) went first.  With Walker being 9 days away from turning 2, he definitely had an advantage over the younger ones; he also had another advantage besides age...his big brother.  I told Jake that he wasn't allowed to pick up eggs with Walker's group, so Jake basically thought it was his job to teach Walker how to run around really fast and pick up as many eggs as he could.  And if Walker wasn't fast enough, Jake guarded the eggs until Walker could get there.  Ha!  I'm sure that sounds pretty obnoxious, but there were more than enough eggs to go around; in fact, there were some eggs leftover in the end.  It was so dang hot, all the parents were trying to get their kids out of there ASAP.  Anyways, it was actually pretty cute without being too overbearing for the little ones.  I was proud of their teamwork. :)

Jake's group (4 year olds) went next.  Talk about crazy...as soon as they blew the siren, those kids were off!  I took my eyes off Jake for a second to fiddle with Walker, and when I looked up, I couldn't see Jake for the mob of people.  So scary!  Luckily, like with Walker's group, the crowd cleared out quickly since people were trying get out of the heat.  And finally, there was my sweet Jake, sweating like crazy but trying to "win the race" (as he called it) and get the most eggs.

After my little panic attack, I grabbed the boys a snow cone and headed home for the AC and our pool.  So so so much fun...well, except for almost losing my child.  I'm pretty sure that'll be the last Egg Hunt I do alone!
