{pregnancy: the past few weeks}

This was week 25, 26- we are now into the 27th week which is awesome and scary all rolled into one!! I missed week 25 because we went down to Vegas for a LAX tournament (I will post some pics) and then last week I snapped this picture and yes, I realize I've totally become one of those people who take photos in the mirror- it's all to show off baby e though! We are officially at 6 months and although the next 3 months seem so far away- I bet our guy will be here before we know it!

Baby Emmett,

I think it's time for you to be introduced to these crazy people who will now be your parents (ah, I feel like we are still babies ourselves)!

Meet Mom & Dad:

We will pretty much be the coolest people you will know for the first 5 years of your life (well maybe the grandparents will trump us even then too). We are silly and love spending time together and I know you will have plenty of laying in bed, watching TV nights to come with us.

Meet Dad:

Emmett, you may never know how lucky you will be to have this guy for a daddy. He will teach you all sorts of important life lessons: how to be silly, basketball, D. Wade, teasing mommy, causing mischief, lacrosse, respect, loyalty, the gospel, priesthood, sports, causing mischief and of course all about Miami Heat.

Seriously though Emmett, I wanted to have your middle name be after this guy because he is my best friend and I think he's pretty awesome but maybe one day, you will honor this guy and name one of your children after him. If you turn out to be half the man your daddy is- I would be one proud mom.

Meet mom:

Mom has all sorts of hobbies and likes, the main one: shopping! She also likes food (not just a pregnancy thing), the puppies, taking pictures of the the puppies, daddy, dance, taking the puppies on walks, cuddling with the puppies, Survivor, crafting, listening to music and did we mention the puppies!? She will probably take 2327299473920183749 pictures of you and cherish every single one.

She can't wait to meet you and hold you and dress you up because hello! shopping is her fave!

Meet Jack:

This little puppy guy is the most cuddly, funny dog you'll ever meet. He is gentle but can be super hyper so I know you and him will get along in the next few years. He loves exploring every rock, bush and tree outside and will make a great friend to take on walks.

Meet Izzy:

Izzy will be your second little mama at home, she is very very gentle and well mannered. She loves balls and will love when you can throw them to her. She also loves treats-- so we will make sure that you get to give her some to get into her good graces. I know she will want to be by your side and protect you like her own and I look very forward to that sweetness.

These dogs will be your best friends and will love you as much as mommy and daddy!

There you have it! Our little but growing Walker family. We cannot wait to officially add you!

{my loves}

I just have to post about the loves of my life,

first off- Pierce

He is such a hardworking and responsible person but also the most easy-going and fun person to be around. Here are some pictures that I took of one day us just playing in bed with our little ones...

my other 2 loves of my life, Jack Jack and Miss Izzy

I never knew that dogs could make me learn what unconditional love is.... they love me and always want to snuggle even if I just got mad at them 2 seconds earlier. They get so happy to see me and Pierce and love every person we meet on their walks. Dogs makes the best humans and I really lucked out on them.

(What you can't see is Pierce underneath our comforter and the dogs going crazy trying to "dig" him out).

This little girl loves her dad and LOVES licking people!

Here are just some bragging rights on how awesome my family is and how much I love them and am grateful for them!

{Jack here}

Hey everyone this is Jack! I have stolen mommy's laptop to update you on mommy, daddy and of course my life as of late (mainly mine)…. So summer is over and that means that mommy and daddy have started school; most days of the week, mommy takes me over to Grandma Cheri’s house to play with these two little friends:


Dodger and Oliver.

Boy they are lots of fun! Dodger (the other shih tzu) is a little afraid of me, because I am so tough but Oliver (cream doggie) will chase and play with me for hours. I always come home from their house and crash on the cold tile or hardwood in our house!


Other than that, I am still just being lovable, cuddly and hyper Jack!

Here are some fun pictures to admire of me :)
Me sleeping next to some shoes....they didn't even stink!
Mommy always said brushing your teeth was important- this would make her proud!
Although in this picture it doesn't show it, I LOVE taking baths and showers!


Chase and Helen have moved close to mommy and daddy so I have been to their house and let me tell you….(to mommy’s horror) I have left my mark in their place, if you know what I mean!! They just got a kitty and I haven’t met him yet, but I am sure it will be soon.

Ava and Chelsea and Travis left far away to Michigan, and although I miss Ava chasing me around- she has gotten new kitty friends to play with!

Locke, Cade and Mel also got a new puppy up in Washington! Maybe during Christmas time I can meet Marla!

Here are some of my puppy pictures of when mommy and daddy just bought me and I was small—man have I grown up and just keep getting bigger! Aren’t I the cutest thing ever!?!






Hope you all have a good week!
