Catchng Up

So many things have been going on lately... I think it's called LIFE! My blog, however, has suffered. So I will try to catch up on the news that has been happening to the Walch Family!

First off......

Hunter Adam Walch is going to join the Walch clan on or around August 30th. We are so excited to have a new member of our family and we are so excited to be Nana and Papa. We can't wait to get to hold this little angel from Heaven and he will be one of our greatest blessings. I am sure that he will be one of the cutest babies that have ever come down from Heaven ( okay... I may be a little bit biased.. but that is my opinion!!)

Second....

We have less than 300 days before I get to hug my missionary son. I can't wait for that day. The first year seemed to drag by, but the second one has been going faster. I am excited that he has been out for 15 months and we will be able to talk to him next month for Mother's Day. I look forward to the day when he is home for good.

Third....

So, my Twilight Lovin , Team Edward Fan Daughter who can't STAND Jacob. LOVES NEW MOON and is going to be 16 in a few weeks and that means dating! Ugh!! I am not sure that I am ready for that to happen. She's so cute... ( here I go with the biased opinions again...sorry, can't help it!) And so I think that the boys will be knocking down the door. She all ready has them in line I think. Her newest 'beau' is David and she thinks that he is just the best thing ever!!! Another thing that I am very proud of her for is this.......
She has earned her Young Women's Medallion. Actually, both JENNA AND I have earned our medallion. She was finished long before I was and she waitied for me so that we could get it together in Sacrament meeting. I love her for achieving that objective. She is now working on getting her honor bee. We do, however, have both of our medallions in silver instead of gold. I am very proud of her... just like when Jared got his Duty To God. It was a nice day... And it was one of the paydays of being a mom.

Fourth...
We have finished Jenna's room. It looks so pretty in brown and pink. Her giant bed takes us most of the room but it is totally her and she is very excited to have all of this space to spread out! I will post pics later when she has her bed made and her room straightened. She went to the temple today with her Young Womens for baptisms. What a good girl....!

Fifth....
Jared has been promoted to District Leader and is over the missionaries ( Elders and Sisters) in his district. We are loving hearing about all of his successes and adventures ... and we can't wait to go pick him up in 9 months!

Well, I think that I have updated everything that has gone on I think in our family. I will try to be better at keeping this up to date. Until next time my friends......

Hooray for the update! It's nice to keep up with your cute family. Time is really passing quickly for Jared, isn't it?
And I can't wait to see a picture of Jenna's cute room and big bed. The big beds are so nice to spread out and relax on!
You will love being a Nana. And baby boys are just SO SWEET!
See you tomorrow at church!

Great updates, so much going on. I can't believe Jena is going to be 16, that's crazy. With how crafty you are I'm sure her room is amazing, can't wait to see it. What a cute name for that little baby boy. Hunter is my all time favorite boy name, but I'm sure you knew that. hehe. Congratulations on the award, that's so neat you earned it together, so sweet.

Yea! Congrats on the new baby! So fun! We will have to get Audrey and Hunter together for a photo-op when the big day arrives!

LOVE brown and pink-we did Audrey's room in those colors, and it is so cute!

My goodness-the light at the end of the tunnel for Jared's mission. I bet he is loving every second!

Jenna dating? Where did the time go? Didn't she just get blessed, like yesterday? :)
