Henry Walker got to go to the Jazz practice facility to play some ball. These little Jazz Fans loved their time there! The men did also!

Good Girl!

Ruth is a wonderful girl! She is such a help to her mom, and her siblings. She is sweet and kind, she is smart, and she is beautiful! SO...Colin checked her out of school and took her to Cali for a day! They went to the American Girl doll store and to Knott's berry farm. They had a ball. Ruth said the "Highlight" was Nordstorms! She is such a Wright!

If you ask me the REAL reason they did this is because Colin LOVES to play really hard, cause he works REALLY hard, and this was a great way to play with one of his favorite people on this planet:-)

College Football Widow

My husband has a real affinity to College Football. (That is a real understatement) For the past few weekends he has been away at a game.

1. U of U vs. USC in California

2. Utah State vs. Colorado State in Logan

3. Utah State vs. BYU in the unmentionable town...

It brings him great joy, and his sons are following in his footsteps. Although, they are a bit confused. Jack, cheers for the Aggies, which his dad doesn't mind. Jack does refuse to cheer for the Utes; much to his dad's dismay. Hank cheers on BYU, we are so confused as to where that comes from.

**Jack had an Aggie jersey on for the Aggie/BYU game, a Block A on his face, and BYU stickers under his eyes. Confusion is BIG in our home right now. I think Colin is a bit confused too.

Us girls have it figured out...Hail the Utah AGGIES!

Could we be any more different?????

I am married to my best friend in the entire world. He has been my best friend almost as long as my sister has! He has been a part of my life since I was young! (much younger than we want to admit to our children...) Yet, I can't get out of my mind how different we are! Here is some examples.

My desk

...his desk

his nightstand

...my nightstand

his bathroom drawer

mine...

my shoes

...HIS!!
He is organized, motivated, driven, smart, a list maker, and sweet! How could we be so different and find so much fulfillment and satisfaction together. All I know, I love him, he was made for me.

Colin, I love you

Make a Wish

We have gone to the Make a Wish Gala the past couple of years. It is fun and is an organization close to our hearts! (George had his wish granted this year!) This year was fun and different it was at the Clark Planetarium. They had EVERY Star Wars character there. We got our picture taken with them. Afterwards we laughed, How would we explain to the boys that we went to this party...and didn't take them!!

I dont' know.

"Now I've had the time of my life"

We just spent 4 days in San Francisco with some of the most fun people we know! We ate, shopped, saw Alcatraz, ate, saw Wicked, ate, walked around the wharf, ate, and biked the Golden Gate Bridge, and ate, spent some time in cabs with the CRAZIEST people in the world!!

It was our 10 year wedding anniversary this month. What a great man I am hitched to. Thanks to you for 10 great years, and here's to many, many more!

I love you all. Thanks for the sanity you provide me! Here's to another trip really soon...

Hank and Colin in the BIG apple!

A couple of weeks ago, Colin took Hank to visit my brother in the BIG apple! They had a great time. Colin and I LOVE NYC! We are trying to instill that in our children. I think we were successful with Hank. Ruth goes with the Ladies in a few weeks. He was really excited about the Natural History Museum, Colin was really excited about 5th Avenue. Who's child is Hank? (MINE!) Anyway, here are some photo's of their big father son outing!

The first stop was Colin's Alma Mater! Columbia.

Manhattan Temple

The NBA store on 5th Ave.

The Subway. Hank really enjoyed this part of his trip. It was so adventurous.

The BEST bakery with uncle Dane

Central Park

Top of the Rock

Yet again, we have the greatest Dad in the world. He loves you Hank! You are a lucky kiddo...

Dad has been MIA

So, I don't think we've seen Colin in a few weeks! So, friday night this handsome man we call "Dad", and "Honey" came home! He had an event planned out for us. He brought a huge poster board, sugar cubes, foam shapes, frosting, markers, and an idea. We created our own little earth! Jack and I did a castle, Hank, an igloo, and Ruth a skyscraper, a wal-mart, a zoo, and much more. We spent hours and had a great time! We love it when we are complete and he comes home to be with us. I always tell him, "You don't have to be 'Disneyland Dad' just coming home is enough for us!" we love you, Dad.

Jack's Dad

My most favorite time of the day is nap time, but not for the obvious reasons. (Although I do like it for that reason as well.) It is a great time to lay down with Jack, my 3 year old, and have a pretty good conversation. There is no one there to answer for him, or distract him from me. This time with him is priceless to me. We had a great conversation today that got me to thinking. Here is how it went down:

Mom: Who is your most favorite person in this whole world.

Jack: (With out hesitation, in a direct way, and in a soft tone): My Dad.

His answer was real and he meant it. I could see in that little mind of his, his dad. Jack's dad is perfect. He can climb up buildings, fly, and maybe even walk on water! He's right, you know. This little boy has a dad who lives for him, lives to be with him, and lives to love him. They are good buddies who are often found wrestling at any given moment.

My hope for Jack in that moment was that even though he will grow up someday, and he will realize that his Dad can't fly, he will still feel the same way about him. I know for a fact that his Dad will ALWAYS feel the same way about Jack!

Aren't we lucky we all have Dad's like this in our lives...

He did it!

Colin has officially started a homebuilding business!

Introducing:

Henry Walker Homes

The Henry is for our Henry, and the Walker comes from his partners' grandpa. Colin has teamed up with a great partner John Stubbs. He knows the business even better than Colin. Colin would say that is not much of an accomplishment, but John is great! He is always saying how excited he is to be working with him. We believe that this will be a success!

Check out the website through my link on the side. Look at the video on the home page. I have to give a shout out to Spencer and Ash, and Nic and Emily! Thanks guys this is so fun to be living the DREAM!

Col- I'm proud of you are all your hard work. Not many get to LOVE what they do. We know that from experience. Go get 'em!

My man!

I think that it would be an understatement to say things have been a little hectic around here! In the commotion I forgot to post on Colin's birthday. I know, I am a loser! He is so great and is the most important part of my life. Col, I just want you to know that I didn't forget you, I have just lost my MIND!

We had a party for him, and I think I succeeded in getting him something he won't return! All in all it was a great success. I love you!

Ruth directed a play for our entertainment. It was great!

Here are some of the stars of the show!

Love that girl...

Even better looking at 31! I just wish I could see your pearly whites. That smile makes you look like you are just "enduring" not "enjoying.

**Work on it, will ya?:)
