How We Hope They Find Good Friends!

2011-03-29T09:09:00.000-07:00

How many times have you wished and hoped that your kids are in good company while they are out of your sight? I was simply ecstatic when I was laying poolside recently and heard the squeels and laughter of my boys on the waterslide. Then as I glanced over I noticed that the reason for their audible joy was because they were with the man we know as "Liquid Chaos". I jumped to my feet, dashed up four flights of stairs to get the car keys and out to the parking lot where I found my camera. I knew I had to hurry for this would surely be footage to cherish. I raced around the property and reached the slides exit just in time to snap this.

This Pic looks innocent enough but what you can't tell about this photo is this new enemy of the Seaman family reunion was trying to win the "MOST CAUTIOUS SLIDER" award. All he wanted to do was enjoy a leisurely sliding experience. A little one on one time with his young son.

What you can also not tell is that this cautious slider has a open wound the size of a small bowling ball on his BACK. Seriously it looked like he just left the operating table where he had his spine removed.

Unfortunately the photo does not depict everything that is actually taking place. The most disturbing fact is that our young son Jett was strategically placed somewhere between Ethan and Mr. Spineless' bacteria infested gash. So it was Jett that made first contact at near sonic speed and caused "Spineless" to yell out someones very special name in vain. And in my mind it was Jett who was quite disrespectfully yelled at "What the hell is wrong with you" when the carnage ended. It is exactly for this reason....... That our young sons can no longer play with "Liquid Chaos". Unless he promises to cause more unrest next time. I live for moments like these!!!!

Isn't it nice to know that you have someone to put an arm around you ?

Our boy turned THREE today!

After bedtime I went to give him one Last Birthday smooch and I found this!

Thankfully I did not have to wait up all night wondering where he might be.

I simply went next door.

Here is to hoping that they might never stray too far!

It sure is fun to have them close by.

One Year Older And Wiser Too!

A wise man once said never, ever let your blog go 12 months

without an update.

The mighty Show Low Green Machine squad was coached by Jerry Walker and was most likely the worst team that has ever been established. The highlight of the year was when the coach politely informed the referee that he was a disgrace to the human race. The coach was not only thrown out of the game but was also invited to leave the stadium forthwith. The season ended with a 1 - 6 record.

Jett watched as Ethan went off to 3rd grade and Kortney began 7th grade.

Kortney was named Student of the Year.

Ethan was the #1 reader in the 3rd grade.

Jett was pottie trained and that was cause to celebrate.

Halloween provided a blast from the past.

Doesn't Kortney look like Mauriah back in '94 ?

Christmastime brought snow, family and memories.

Ethan turned 9 and took the whole family skiing.

Great way to spend New Years Eve!

Kortney turned 13. She made the Honor Band again

and continues on her promise never to come inside the petting zoo fence.

We will destroy on the court (undefeated 3 years straight) and be destroyed on the pinewood course (winless in 2 years) and the Rangers will always be tough to beat. (11 wins 1 loss)

We have been blogless for many months but we have enjoyed every minute of it.

We wish that time would slow down so we could enjoy our little ones while they are still little.

We are grateful for who we are and what we know. We are thankful to be a family

and look forward to many more minutes to enjoy!

JETT TURNS {2}

2009-07-31T19:38:00.000-07:00

On Sunday we celebrated the birth of a good ole boy!

We bashed a football pinata.

We took turns being lifeguard at the Walkers

outdoor pool!

(no diving in the shallow end please)

We had water balloon volleyball

championships of the world.

We practiced a few lay - ups

and hung from the 9 foot rim.

We watched about 4 minutes of dirty dancing

tryouts right in the kitchen.

We witnessed Caitlin Hatch pummell

all attendees under age 10 en route

to pinata treats.

THEY ate like famished hogs.

(the SEAMAN sisterhood)

We cleaned up everything!!

And after it was all over......

We wondered if we could do

it again next year.

Happy birthday to a boy named JETT!

This kid knows how

to throw an end of

SUMMER PARTY.

Sierra Pines Emergency

2009-05-29T13:19:00.000-07:00

It has recently come to our attention that the Flagstaff Fire and Rescue is not the only institute that has been mobilized to assist the Walker Family in recent days. Apparently the Upstairs Metro Fire and Rescue was called for a Code 4niner-niner aka TURTLE IN DISTRESS. Details are as follows.

SUNDAY MAY 25th - 911 call to Upstairs Metro -

Dispatch: What is your emergency?

Russell: I have fallen and cant get up!

Dispatch: Metro units on the way.

Metro unit commander arrives on the scene @ approx. 1721 hrs. and finds one Russell "Cecil" Walker unresponsive and with a condition called "bloatamus maximus". This is a serious condition which happens when someone who usually eats small portions of food is introduced to a whole can of food and simply must try to eat all of it in one setting.

After a 3 day recovery period, Russell met with authorities at the Upstairs Metro Police.

At this time enhanced composite sketches were drawn. It appears that 4 suspects who were in the area are currently being sought. The Police Chief states that the guilty party should be considered DANGEROUS. Suspect will probably not look you directly in the eye and may enjoy listening to rap classics such as Gangstas Paradise.

Cashman "Guilty" Hatch

Sunshine Dottie "Flower" Fuentes

Teag "Brick Guns" Fuentes

Noah "Nips" Baum

(no actual sighting of "nips" at the scene but a male with the nickname "nips" is definitely suspicious)

All Future holiday parties @ The Walker home are officially postponed until the day after never.

Do you not know that this midget turtle has had diarrhea since Easters. (or was it memorial day)

The last month or so...

2009-05-27T16:03:00.000-07:00

I have not been a very good blogger this last month

or so. I'm am going to tell you about all the stories

and sagas that has happened.

First off, at 12:30 on Thursday, May 21 school

officially ended. I am promoted to 7Th grade

and Ethan is heading to 3rd. At our house we

are so happy that summer has begun... but isn't

everyone?

Second big thing we did was... well something. On

May 25 ( Memorial Day) we went to Flagstaff for no

particular reason. We were shopping and having

fun. About time when we were getting ready to head

home Ethan managed to LOCK Jett in the car with

the car running and keys inside of it.Luckily Jett

was asleep. We ended up calling the Flagstaff fire

department to come and unlock the car. Just as

they unlocked the car Jett woke up. One of the fire

fighters opens Jetts side of the car and peeks in.

Jett starts sobbing LOUD. The fire fighter feels bad

and hands Jett a sticker. And boy did that shut

him up. Wasn't that something?

The last thing so far this summer started like this.

On Friday, May 22 I got 4 teeth pulled and 6

numbing shots. I have something like a expander

on the top of my mouth. All it is a big metal wire

that goes all the way around my mouth. ( see below)

Anyway I looked at my mouth with a mirror and

you couldn't even see the retainer my gums were

so swollen. I had my mom call the dentist soon as

posible. When I got in on Tuesday, May 26 he took

that sucker out and said since my mouth got so

numb from all my pulling of the teeth it got all

sore and didn't heal. So I'm not Metal Mouth

anymore just Brace Face now.

I'm all caught up now. What an

exciting summer so far huh?

3. Sponge rollers give straight hair new life.

4. We have a built in babysitter.

5. Princess Leia could have easily been replaced.

6. Pizza factory is still in business.

7. We party every April 5th.

8. You were able to set an example for your brothers and cousins by getting baptized.

9. We have learned that fat little babies may just grow to be tall and beautiful.

10. We learned that you should answer to WALKER and not just Kortney. (thanks coach)

11. We know that Senorita LaPita can be found at the beach.

12. We have learned that 12 years goes by in a flash. We have loved every second of getting to know you and being your parents. We are amazed at the young woman we have and couldn't be prouder to call you ours.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KORTNEY!

BRACE FACE KORT TAY

2009-04-01T19:38:00.000-07:00

This is me right before my dentist appointment to get my braces.

This is me {2} days after the braces. They are blue. They sometimes hurt. I am getting used to them. I look forward to posting some after pictures around October 2012.

THE WALKER'S SPRING VACATION

2009-03-26T11:43:00.001-07:00

The lovely 2009 spring vacation started of with All-State. I was selected out of my school to go to Phoenix and play with a honor band formed by kids all over the state. I had to be there at 7:45 a.m. to practice all day until 5:00 p.m. for our concert. It was a great experience for me. I got to meet some interesting people. :) I loved my director and had so much fun. This was also the first time that a member of the Show Low School District DIDN'T play "SURFING USA" for the grand finale.

The next day was pool day. We put that 10 year old life jacket on Jett and he walked right into pool. Please note that this is the life jacket that I used to wear.

Ethan is just a fish. He swam and swam the whole day long.

Ethan brought his ipod on the trip. He'd crank it up and jam out. He'd sing even in public. If you sit next to him you can hear the song plain as day. That's why Jett is sitting next to him so happy.

The day we were coming home we stopped in Miami and ate at Guayo's and took some pictures.

Jett was standing at a fence of an empty pool pointing at a (dog), AKA your common bird.
Due to the poor economy ( and citations at Greens Peak ) we took the time this spring break to say good-bye our 4wheelers. They can know be found in Los Mochis Sonora Mexico. Lets just hope the cash that Alejandro (who we hate) left us, can actually be found in our bank account.

We hope you enjoyed our Walker's Spring break documentary. We hope you all had a lovely spring break.

Contrats to the Show Low Raptors who finished their season at 8 and 0. Ethan led the league in shot attempts and finished dead last in assists per game. He appears to be a huge believer in the "Shoot it Before you Turn it Over" philosphy.

VALENTINE DAY COMEDY

2009-02-14T09:11:00.000-08:00

Yesterday me and my Mom walked into the Show Low Verizon store to get a case for my Dad for Valentine's Day. We walk in and two guys are standing there more than happy that someone came to their store. My Mom asked them if they had a case for my Dad's kind of phone. The guys went in the back to see if they did. They thought that the case was for my Mom so they brought back a pink and a peach color case. My Mom looks at them and says " No it's for my husband". So they come back again with a black case .We look at it and ask how much it was. The first guy says it's $15. We looked at each other and my Mom said "we'll think about it" and we started to walk out. Then the other salesman said" we'll take $5". My Mom looks down into her purse and presents all her cash. It turns out it's 3 one dollar bills. The guy looks at her and says "that's good". So me and my Mom walked out with a leather case for $3 and had the best Valentine's Day Ever!

All-State

2008-11-20T09:02:00.000-08:00

Hello..........this is the Mother speaking. This is also the mother's first post. This blog is my kiddos. They saw McKenzie's blog and that was the final straw. They wanted their own blog. Since Kortney does it all, she really won't tell you about herself. My gal made all-state for the flute. We are proud of her because me and Jerry used to swear our family had no musical talent whatsoever....Kort has proved us wrong. She can jam. ( Can you jam on the flute?) So we will be in Addie's backyard come March. All-State is in Gilbert. Way to go KORT!

DOWN WITH 1ST CHOICE MOVING AND STORAGE

2008-11-16T10:44:00.000-08:00

ANYONE moving NEVER use 1ST CHOICE MOVING and STORAGE!!! My aunt that moved to Wisconsin used this CRAPPY moving company. Here's all the things they are acountable for.

pretty much stole all of my aunts electronics
broke a piece of their glass
their table had a huge crack own the middle

If any of you movers are reading this the Walkers are hunting you down.

2008-11-12T15:57:00.000-08:00

This is my family. My aunt Kirsten moved to Wisconsin with her family about a month ago. 6 people taken away so far. NOW, my aunt Lindsay and her family are moving to Utah for her husbands new job. Now another 5 people are going to be gone and in other states. This family is going away slowly. We used to have 30.5 people in this family that lived in Arizona. There's now only 19.5 people left. Was it something we said?

Halloween Fun

2008-11-02T17:55:00.000-08:00

We had a fun Halloween! I was Nacho Libre and Ethan was a Steelers Player. We went to our stakes trunk-or-treat and then hit a few houses in Sierra Pines. We got tons of candy from the people in Sierra Pines. They were so happy that they got trick-or-treaters this year. We found out that Jett doesn't like wearing Halloween costumes or stopping at peoples house to get candy.
