It's A Wonderful Life

The most amazing guest blogger EVER, Hannah Walker. :) The last few weeks have been crazy. As you know we are in Savior of The World, that has been most of what we do any more. We have to make sure we still get things done, like the house and our extra curricular activities. Mom has also been sick the last three and an half weeks. She was down a lot yesterday and the day before, but we all lived, thankfully!  Other than that the kids who have a more main part in Savior Of The World have to go to practices a lot during the week and so that means, when mom and dad are gone, I am the one babysitting.  I wish you all could be here to see it! It gets pretty crazy over here.:) Her are some pictures of our crazy life so far!                           We went to the Day Break park and got to feed the ducks. It was so fun! We ran out of bread to feed them so we started giving out our snacks. The ducks loved them!                             We started to feed them out of

There has been more skiing this year than ever before at the Walker home.  Mostly due to an "incentive" of a season pass we offered Creed if we made it into the play our family was in for the Christmas season - The Savior of the World.  We couldn't send him alone, and there were discounted passes available with the full priced pass for Creed, so we ended up getting one for Pierce, Casey and Clayson.  Here is Pierce, Creed, Casey and a friend, Garrett.

They have been in a few races where they are timed covering the most vertical feet - climbi

I know it's been a long time since we blogged. I have thought about it a lot but haven't had the time. This Christmas season has been very full. Not the same full as in the past but filled with more important things. We didn't do many of the activities that are traditional for our family at this season but we did things that brought the Spirit into our lives and kept our focus on the Savior. Being in the production of Savior of the World has been so great. We have grown in many ways and witnessed changes in ourselves and our family. Talents are being developed and miracles are happening. Along with Savior of the World we have also suffered the flue. This flue usually started with a fever for 1-4 days then many other symptoms to follow for 2-3 weeks. In a family this size a flue like that will take over our lives and could be around for a couple of months. That's where we're at. Having the flue made it very hard to get Christmas shopping done and just as I thought
