Walker Visit

Aunt Belinda made a trip back home this past week, and we celebrated it in true Walker style...big family dinner at Grandmother and Granddaddy Walker's house. It was great getting the family together again. As many of you know, Jana is back for a while with a job at Whiteman Airforce Base, so with her back in Missouri, and Belinda's visit, it was a fabulous family gathering! Braden LOVES playing with his Aunt Jana, and she is great with him, he seems to be constantly asking her to do something for him, and she graciously appeases him, which he obviously thinks is just awesome. This evening event was Braden's first experience with cicada shells, it took us a bit to explain to him that it is only a shell of the bug, and not a bug itself. After he got over his heeby-geebies about the casing of the bug, he thought it was pretty cool, putting it on peoples clothes and noses. Actually, the adults had just as much fun with them placing the shells on their noses and the countertop to scare Grandmother (hummmm - who would do that Aunt Velma?). I wish I had pictures of the Aunts and Paula with the shell on their noses too, but here is a picture of Braden on his Aunt Jana's shoulders with the cicada shell on his nose - what a wierd kid, but I am sure I did it too when I was younger :) Lastly, here is Braden and Aunt Jana playing airplane as well. His hefty butt is too big for me to play with him like this anymore, but Aunt Jana is great at it! He asked her several times to "do tricks", that is what playing airplane is to him I guess. Josh snapped a picture of them in action while they played. All in all, it was a fabulous visit, we love being around family!
