The Walker Family

2011 UPDATE

2011-12-16T11:38:00.000-08:00

Henson [8 months]: he is our mini-energizer bunny; he keeps going… and going…and going and is on the move CONSTANTLY! To make matters that much more interesting he began crawling at five months and is now quickly moving onto walking (along furniture and with mommy and daddy holding his hands). Also he has had his wanting eyes on real food since he was three months, and for the past two months he has eaten banana baby food more like a baby chimpanzee than a human.
His favorite past time currently is playing Peekaboo with his mommy. Henson adores watching Baby Einstein’s; in fact it is difficult to “unglue” his eyes once an episode has begun. He continues to amaze us every day with his keen mind and joyful spirit; as a matter of fact he actually started waving “Hi” and “Bye-Bye” this past week, and it is A-DOR-A-BLE!!!!
Emmett [2 yrs]: YEE-HAA, is that Billy-the-Kid or Doc Holliday…NO WAY…It’s EMMETT: the fearsome super hero that sometimes is his secret identity “Cowboy Emmett,” the rootinous tootinous gun slinger and horse rider in the West. This little boy is in some serious need of real cowboy gear! Other times he is “Super Emmett,” the cape-wearing, high flying, extremely strong crime-fighting hero of Lehi city. For Halloween this year it was a very hard dramatic decision for little Emmett: Super Emmett or Cowboy Emmett. Mommy ended up making a Super Emmett shiny blue cape with a big red letter “E” on it with lots of yellow stars and a mask to match. Emmett would not be away from his cape and mask for anything other than bathing and church for weeks. Both of which were so agonizing to him; it was the cutest thing ever! If you can’t tell, Emmett’s favorite game to play is dress-up. He loves to pretend and has a vivid imagination. We love to watch and listen to his “performances.” The only problem is that we have had to teach him that he CANNOT FLY for real. Too many times we have had our hearts stop as we frantically stop him, or when too late, catch him. Emmett has such a passion for animals of all kind (sea, desert, jungle, farm, etc.). You can ask him to make the noise of about any animal that exists……Just be prepared, he will not only tell you, but will completely get into character! As you could guess, his favorite place to go and hang out is the Zoo, or any stinky farm (Lucky for mom).
Dallas [5 years]: We were lucky enough to have Kim’s brother Sam out to our home from Boston. While here he asked me who wore the “pants-of-the-family,” Kim or I. To answer completely honest…neither. Though “SELF-APPOINTED,” Dallas definitely loves to run the show at the Walker home! He is our future Bruce Lee; he loved the Little Ninjas class he was able to attend this summer and dreams about one day receiving a black belt. He is a strong little fighter for sure, not only did he break his first board, but survived a severe case of swine flu, MRSA, infection of the blood, and a harmful allergic reaction to an antibiotic, ALL IN THE SAME HOSPITAL STAY!! He is a strong little guy, both physically and spiritually! Lately he enjoys his 2nd year of preschool (especially his classmate Melayna, who he says he is going to marry). Dallas also loves riding his bike and says, ”Mom, I can’t get enough wind behind me…I’m trying to be sonic fast”!
Desirae [11 years]: This year Desie has “grown up” profoundly in maturity. She is our big helper and a “little mommy.” Her help is a breath of fresh air at times and a vital necessity at others. This January she begins her Babysitter certification course through Lehi city. In addition to her love for babies and caring for them, she is crazy about dancing, singing, running track, hanging out with her many friends, and making up small neighborhood concerts with those friends. Some of her most exciting spot-light moments were: a 4th-of-July block party “THRILLER” dance performance, cheering at a high school football game, and the many activities she participates in through school and church. Desie is enjoying activity days and working towards her Faith in God award. Though Desie enjoys her time with her friends, she also adores baking and spending time with Kimmie in the kitchen whether it is decorating fresh made cookies or just making macaroni and cheese.
Spencer [12 years]: He loves being in the 6th grade and “ruling” the school. Spencer enjoys the company of a few close comrades. They soak up as much time as possible to play X-Box, Wii, Legos, and field games(i.e. ghost in the graveyard). Spencer is lucky to have an awesome scout leader who helps us by lending equipment, mentoring him towards his Eagle, and at times taking Derek’s place (When he works) for weekend over-nighters. Spencer adores the outside and relishes each camping trip. He is quite the flashlight-tag competitor. Spencer has always had an eagerness to learn more about anything and everything, and likes to read books of all shapes and sizes. He is a good older brother and is caring to all around him. We are so proud of Spencer for taking one of life’s “BIG” steps this past October. He was ordained a deacon and is truly a special young man(It was spiritual experience that we and he will treasure forever). One of the most amazing things about Spencer is his ability to build things, such as buildings, vehicles, and other structures. Mostly he uses Legos, but he also does it with other mediums. He has a remarkable ability to see what he wants to make, and then use what he has to make it. We always call him our future engineer or architect.
Kimberly: She absolutely loves being a full time mom. Nothing has ever brought to her life so much pure joy and pleasure! She says her family members have been her examples and has learned so much from them, and continues to learn from them each day. There are such precious moments right now in this stage of motherhood that her heart, at times, feels like it’s going to explode. She also loves the fulfillment of being a wife for her sweet heart! Kimmie enjoys serving in the boy scouts (Wolf Pack) and being able to teach her scouts the skills and life lessons that they will need and be able to use throughout their entire lives. Kimmie is still shooting hoops occasionally at the gym and still loves to go for a good run.
Derek: The most cherished treasures in his life are his family. Most, if not all of his time each day is spent either being with them or serving and working for them. Derek is a child at heart and has fun and holds dear every moment spent with his children. Whether the time is spent playing, dressing up, fixing toys, doing homework, and anything/everything else, he always thirsts for more. Derek looks forward to date night with Kim and holds dear his small, but precious time with her each day. He is so thankful to Desie for being willing to watch Henson and Emmett almost every day so he can spend time with his beloved wife. Cooking, going for a walk, cuddling on the couch, talking about the day, even if it was just cleaning together a room, he enjoys nothing more than her company. He also values his position as a Sunday school teacher of the 11-year-old boys. He is hoping to finish of the last of his B.S. of Nursing courses and to start looking for Family Nurse Practitioner programs to apply for.

* Like most of you know we ended up moving to a bigger place. After finally getting settled in, we no later than 3 months get asked by our land lord to please vacate because of city ZONE-ING reasons. Neways i wont get into details unless you ask (LONG STORY). so grrr. right>?!! well i was searching for same price range, same county...just about to sign a contract with a place i was not satisfied with and then i thought ill try ksl one more time tomorrow morning before i finalize everything. i get on KSL first thing that next morning and there was that home i was hopeing and praying i would find, and seriously it was listed for no longer than i believe 6 minutes. i called the person (that land lord), found out i was the 1st caller. Well went and checked it out. Turned out i LOVED it like i knew i would. so now here we are in a better place from when we started!

DENIAL!!!!!!!

2010-05-06T10:11:00.000-07:00

Emmett at ONE YEARS OLD has been Denied for medical insurance....welfare---medicaid/Chip, blue cross blue shield, IHC---Select health and so on...
Q" Due to health condition(s) which are UNINSUABLE. UTAH INSURANCE REGULATION R590-176-5(3)requires that we provide you,the applicant,the specific health condition(s) that are uninsurable. These health conditions include,but are not limited to, history of RSV and recurrent respiratory infections."

This is a very serious matter to me, and probably to all parents every where, I received my last denial letter on April 29th, 2010. They were happy to insure all other 3 of my children DESI, SPENCER, DALLAS...because they NEVER GET ILL. Emmett has Had NO insurance since 4/1/10.

Emmett had a fever 103-104 for 9 days before rising to 105F on Sunday May 2nd. So I brought him to his pediatricians office knowing there was a INFECTION somewhere, and that it needed to be treated IMMEDIATELY. They sent us to the hospital to have multiple tests done. Poor Dallas was so upset that the nurse and doctors were "hurting" (scaring) his little brother.

They drew blood, took a urine test, did a CT scan and a terrifying lumbar puncture, ALL with no MEDICAL insurance. The doctors office BLESS there PURE hearts did NOT CHARGE ME for their work, but the hospital was not so nice. I am so grateful for his wonderful pediatrician and his staff/team of doctors (DR. Connor and DR. Mumford)!!!

After monitoring him for one hour with his fever not breaking, they wanted him brought to ER because they thought that Emmett might have MENINGITIS or a BONE INFECTION. The ER admitted him into the hospital and after all the test came back, 30 hours later, Emmett was able to get released.

The hospital admission to Pediatrics, all tests, labs & medications, IVs, ct scan, spinal tap etc. all added together came to a VERY larger hospital bill. Thank heavens you don't have to tip the nurses.

Is this just me or is this insane and not fair?

what is a mother to do?

Then i got thinking to myself as we all sat down to eat (while the us ta be empty kitchen sink of dishes is magically appearing with those darn dishes again), yup i totally forgot to eat today?!! , and for once last week i finally convinced my self to buy a nice cell phone for me. all my cell phones in the past were good...but not like this new one I got (it was very nice). I loved it so much and yup today sometime today I lost it!! don't ask me where..I ain't gotta clue! I have never felt so UN-organized with out it. Its a insane story I know..
Well, I'm off to getting the little ones to bed, I knew if I was gonna write about my day on here or in my journal it better be before getting them to sleep...because I'm right behind them tonight =)

Sippy Cup

2009-11-18T16:17:00.000-08:00

Well , as far back as I can remember, I always dreaded the night time battle with Dallas in his big boy bed. So we came to an agreement that he would sleep in his room, in his big boy bed with a "sippy cup". -FYI... this is where I went way wrong! In this sippy cup contained either watered downed "juice", or a little "chocolate milk" Mostly "whole milk" in the cup very little chocolate just enough were it was a little brown just to trick him. Anyways still all NO GOOD! un-less its just water! As a result 1 year later down the road... Dentist time! I felt really confident going to this appointment because I can Proudly say I help Dallas every night and Morning brushing his teeth, and about 3-4 times a week flossing. and Desi and Spencer are just great at this habit as well.

A Long story shorter:
Desirae No Cavities going on 2 years straight now =)
Spencer No Cavities going on 2.5 years straight now =)
Dallas ummmmm. lets just say Dr. Petersen said " Dallas is going to need to be worked on in his mouth from anywhere 30-45 min, Including 2 caps on his 2 front teeth. I was seriously in shock...Dr. Petersen called them all sippy cup Cavities. (SO SAD). He also said with kids as young and busy as your Dallas....we need to do this at a surgery clinic (90Th south) and we will need to put him out. We got it all planned out and on our calenders November 17Th (yesterday).

I have to say I was petrified after my experience last week with Emmett and his experience last week with getting the anaesthesia because (he was getting tubes in his ears).

That surgery took place on November 11Th, Emmett had to get Tubes because he was seriously at 7 months old on his 9Th ear infection (poor lil guy didn't even know what it was like to not have a ear ache). The trick with Emmett was to get him well enough to even get the surgery that was needed to help not get ill anymore. That's all said and done =) But Emmett was inconsolable on November 11Th pretty much all day long. Him and the anaesthesia chemicals didn't mix well with his body!!!! He was sooo mad, sad, scared, in pain, gassy...u name it! To the point he couldn't nurse for 3 seconds with out burping. His burps i guess burned his throat and all that pressure from the burp hurt his ears. It was a 24hr side affect after surgery. ahhh. But he is soooooo Happy now!!! No sickness, no cough, no nothing (except his Asthma) for a whole week now =)FYI keeping away from all the public at ALL costs has been worth it!
Back to Dallas, he handled his mouth surgery/anaesthesia very well yesterday. And is back today with his busy, loving LIFE self! The sippy cup caused so much more damage then I ever thought...it was not worth it!

Okay "So I have learned alot about what truly motherhood means".

1.Tuff Love (no more sippy cups at night)

2. Sacrificing yourself and your wants at ALL costs for the well-ness and well-being of your children Because they are the most Important calling you will ever be called with. And my children's happiness and healthy-ness is my Everything!! (not seeing or hanging out with any friends for like a long time (weeks), being at home/getting my babies all healthy).

PS ... mommy is going out tomorrow =)

Okayy so first of all... I knew my brother Sammy has like a MILLION friends, and he has a heart the size of Texas. And I love to talk and have conversations with my family every chance I get....because I Love and miss them ALL so much..and I also miss them being apart of my daily life.

( I am from Boston, and thats where all my family lives...besides myself and 2 other family members ).

My favorite conversation ever was todays! It was my brother Sammy, he was telling me about his first day back to school- BOSTON NEWBURY COLLEGE. Which by the way Sammy is loving and doing very well in his college. Then brings up his plans tonight going to a Professional Fight....his plans involved

NBA Glen Davis! I said "sammy how do u know him"??

"Oh, kim". "I Trained him in Pro Fighting".

Any-ways, to make this story short..

I guess Glen Davis is really a down to Earth guy!!

Ps...sammy I love you and i am sooo PROUD of you!! And the reason why it was my FAVORITE conversation was because he seemed soooooo HAPPY with his LIFE and he found his PASSION!!!!!

Our Family pictures had to be Updated

Confession's of a Shopaholic

I saw this movie with my sister Vanessa when it first came out in the show house last year. We LOVED it so much we laughing so hard...we couldnt breathe!

It really hit home because I think it reminded us of eachother.

Seriously though who dosent want nice things...and what girl is not into fashion these days!??

I have learned my lesson just like

(Rebecca Bloomwood in this movie Isla Fisher the actress) did and that was the hard way.
I have learned in the last 2 years to to draw the line at credit cards...so does Rebecca in the movie!

Any ways I love this movie A-LOT~!! LOL, Seriously its sooo funny to me.

In last 10 days, 6 different people have said,

Quote "Kimmie you remind me of the girl from the shopaholic movie

cuz u look like and ACT just like her ".

When Derek watched this movie with me, he Agreed.

Derek also said "those who really kno my personality would agree"..

K- guys, that serioulsy has made my MONTH! Thank you for the what i call "compliment" to those who have said that to me.. it's made me feel good =)
xoxo kimmie

September so far =)

2009-09-06T12:47:00.000-07:00

I made Dallas a little Time Line of his life for his 3rd birthday Here it is.....

7 months Prego with Dallas

Dallas's first day home

Dallas @6 months old
Dallas 1 years old
Dallas being a happy baby
Dallas 2 years old
Dallas 2.5 years old

Happy 3rd birthday DALLAS

The time of the day, I look forward to ohhh so much ;)
they seriously look so innocent and Angelic.

Back to work I GO.
Dallas And Emmett TOO.
The Gold's Gym playroom is a PERFECT Job for a mom (this mom ,me)!

I really LOVE Children and I Truly believe they are the BEST teacher's out there, but sometimes for me it can be hard for it to be my REGULAR CALLING in LIFE (mother hood), And also to go to work and it be your income JOB as well.

I miss the trainer job, or the Golds gym desk job...just because

I LOVE to talk and to socialize to people over 5 years of age LOL.

Serioulsy though what i am trying to say. "I REALLY am so GREATFUL for this Playroom JOB at the gym, and the Blessing I have being able to be with my children at work and take care of them while I am on the clock"!

My regular day @ work

Kimmie with baby Emmett, & Toni and her adorable lil Marley

~ Dallas~

Dallas is SOooooo Helpful and sweet when it comes to the babyroom and taking care of his
lil brother Emmett.
Also Dallas just makes me so proud when he is alll "MOM", "the baby CRYING MOM".
Like bassically he wants me to HELP Every single BABY at once, dont get me wrong all of us employees are running around taking care of all the kids doing the BEST we can do

with 200 children between 9am-noon!

this is actually a slow day...

This is KIM and her Daughter Keeley!
I LOve them , they are GREAT people, and are great here in the Playroom.

Emmett is ALWAYS HUNnnnnnnnGRY!
*every hour he wants to nurse
* he is still having alot of ACID REFLEX
People have told me "Once Emmett is eating baby food , it will help with BOTH of those issues."
True or False I wondered??, so i did a little test...Emmett was not sure about the Carrott taste
As you can see in the picture below, at 5 months old!... Emmett is very
Smart (just like his DADDY) and figured the whole spoon thing out. Serioulsy with out missing his mouth!!!

It is,True!!!

August's Madness

2009-08-26T19:21:00.000-07:00

Emmett's Update;
Turns out so far we are on Emmett's 3rd Ear infection! This last time i waited to try and let his body run its course instead of getting medicine right away for him again. Turns out the Doctor said Quote:"his Left ear is HORRIBLE"! He actually got a couple of different things perscribed 2 him, 2 things to fight the infection and 2 different things to help with his pain.
During that Last Ear infection *5 days into the Antibiotic, Emmett was due for his 4 month Vaccine's which he had a appt for.
That day i was hessitant to give him shots becaue of happened 5 days ago?! But the Doctor assured me it was really fine by now to give Emmett shots (because his ears looked alot better)!
Emmett got his shots and his regular check up;
Length is in the 70th %
Head is in the 20%
Weight is in the 30%
I came home, gave Derek the 411.
Derek said he was very Allergic to one of the shots he got (pertussiss, aka whooping cough). It nearly killed derek at his 4 month check up, it swelled Dereks Air ways...he was hospitalized.
Any ways...Emmett took after his daddy in a way milder case though!

Emmett just got hot itchy hives...turns out there is something here i can help him with and thats a cup of , yup BAKING SOADA and a cool bath!~Thank you Aunt Allyn for the GREAT tip!!!!!! After the 1st bath of BAKING SOADA, Emmett was a Happy camper. I did this a couple more times in following 24 hours and they were gone!

Just a Fun time

Quote "Mama Ordan now mama ordin blog"-Dallas. "k dallas, Jordan dosent have a blog, but wait do u want to say hi to him on Dallas's blog?"- kimmie. "yes mom! daaa!! Hey ordan, i wuv ooou"!! - Dallas.

Moments of being a mom...so i thought im just gonna let Emmett play in the crib to get some house work done and let the older 3 play in the boys room, well i am sure all u moms out there knows you get one room clean and the one you left the kids in is a whole different story** so its like IMPOSSIBLE 4 me to get Every single room clean with children home..... Never mind there Creative Body ART!

Seriously whats a GiRl 2 do when she desperatly needs a pedi and money is tight??!
well this was kimmies IdeA~~take it 4 what it is worth!! LOL

Ladies it was not as bad..i got to give Derek PropS!

"ps.. Thank u so much honey..it meant so much"!

RSV

2009-05-29T10:41:00.000-07:00

Emmett Has been fighting RSV. He Has had it since the saturday before mother's day. He got addmitted into Pedatrics, he was there for a week. he was on and off oxygen, steriods, breathing treatments, suckuning at the RSV clinic. The poor little guy has been so strong and has been just hanging in there! He has had a couple a of scares were he actually stoped breathing and turned blue! He is going to be okay Everyone. He is going on day 21 of the RSV and this is actually when you start to see great improvments, which we are! We Have had the greatest support system from EVERYONE I Love, ward family, neighbors, friends and family! Thank you for all your help with everything, your thoughts and your prayers for Emmett. It truely means alot to us and baby Emmett. This has been a great learning, humbleing,growing expeirence for me. It also has taught me and helped my testimony in more understanding of the great gift/ Blessing we all could have and thats Eternal Families!

He was so weak he could barley swallow from a bottle correctly (not asparating his feeding into his Lungs again), never mind nursing (nursing is alot harder on the little ones).

Fun pictures of all the things we did as a Family...
