Cheer

Cheer was one of those tough decisions. One of those decisions you debate over. But in the end, the girls had alot of fun. They learned some neat routines for the monthly school rallies, got to fly on the top of pyramids, worked on the coordination of stepping and clapping at the same time and made good use of their tumbling skills from gymnastics.

Grandparent's Day

A fun day with Grammy and Papa; working in the classroom, swinging on the tire swing, puzzles and games.

Thank you!!

Mother's Day

I just might be the luckiest Mom in the whole wide world!! I feel loved by my family everyday, but today was a very special celebration of me, planned by my family...... and I found myself overwhelmed. Overwhelmed by the blessing it is to be a Mom to these 2 little girls. They fill my heart to overflowing. I love the way they laugh, the way they pout, the way they dance, the way they learn, the way they love. They are my very best Mother's Day gift ever! So thank you for a day filled with little surprises and sweet notes, for meals cooked, for arguments quenched, for no decisions, for all your time and attention you lavished on me!!

Gymnastics

A tribute to another fantastic year of gymnastics. To Josiah for overcoming the "small fish syndrome" of the big girl class, all the while learning handstand rolls, back rolls, and opposite side cartwheels. To Adalie for braving her very own "big girl" class" and beginning her cartwheels and head stands. To both girls who love to perform. And to their teachers who make this sport too much fun!!

See ya in the Fall....

Monterey

Look out world because the Waltner Clan is on the move headed towards an all family vacation!! Monterrey the destination and fun times the goal! We hit the beaches, flew kites, dug in the sand, searched for seashells, ran from the waves, ordered in pizza, toured the aquarium, oohed and aahed at the sea horses, touched sting rays, held star fish, ate in sweet shops, rode bikes, read books, slumber partied, played ping pong, jacuzzied and BBQed. But best of all of these things, was the time, the laughter, the memories!

I tell you, there is something about cousins that is so fun. They run and squeal to meet one another and then embrace in a jumping-around-all-smiles hug. They love to play together, whether it is the one closest to there own age, or holding the babies. Could it be that they share some of the same DNA?? Whatever it is, we are grateful....

Thank you Amma and Grandpa!!
