Goodbye to JD

It's terrible when friends move away!

JD was a friend that Walker made in 4th

grade.  They had moved here from College

Station and our boys became fast friends.

It wasn't until a few months later

that I realized that JD's mom and I

were PiPhi sisters at Baylor!

I loved his beautiful mamma then and now!

Unfortunately they are moving back

to College Station:(

A couple of moms put together an

afternoon of bowling & going out to eat

for the boys so they could officially

tell John David goodbye...

Walker, Garrett, Zach, JD, Jeb,

Matthew, Pavaan, Ryan, Peyton, William

The guys had a ball ;)

SO SiLLY!!!!!!!!!!!

JD will be very missed:(

Walker said the only good thing

about JD moving was that he was

getting to move back to College Station.

Typical Aggie answer;)

JD is not an Aggie, though,

and I just know that he and a few of

these guys will end up at Baylor together!

Good luck to John David

and his precious family:)

Walker's Guitar Performance

In fifth grade, students get to have

one six weeks of learning how to play

the guitar.  This was SO COOL

for Walker.  He loved it!!!!!

And I think this school "event"

goes down as one of my favorites...

it was just so good.

He was so proud to show off

his new talent!!!

I was so moved!!!!!!!

It really was awesome.  

Walker was so serious...

They played "Hot Cross Buns", "Ain't Nothing But

a Hound Dog", "Smoke on the Water"...among

many others including my favorite ~

a Coldplay Song!!!!!!!!

Cade did a little solo! 

Mrs. Koch asked for volunteers...

I knew Walker's hand would not go up!  ;)

Walker looked so big and handsome

up on that stage with his guitar!!!

He's so cute and sweet:)

Huds made himself at home during the concert;)

Walker is so studious when at school;)

The Sixth Grade Orchestra joined them

for the last couple of songs. 

It really was just awesome!!!!

Sweet Presli was in his class, too!  :)

Jared was right beside Walker.  

I have to give Mrs. Koch full credit for

this.  She is just the best!!!  I grew up

with her daughter and we've known the Kochs

forever.  Mrs. Koch also had Hunter

and Logan for music.  So thankful for

this woman and her influence on Walker!

Just outstanding with all of these

young people creating such

awesome music!!!!!!!!

I really was moved to tears!

Of course I was MOST impressed

by this handsome young man...

Matthew, Jared, Walker, Cade

Sweet, talented kiddos:)

Grandmother loved it!!!

Troy was out of town and HATED
missing this program!  :(

As usual, Walker had a fan club:)

LOVE these fifth grade guys...

So thankful that Walker got to have

Mrs. Koch this year.  I would never, ever

have dreamed that Walker would choose

choir for his sixth grade elective, but

thanks to Mrs. Koch's influence...

choir it is!  I am thrilled!!!

Mrs. Koch is retiring this year

and she will be VeRY missed:(

I hope Walker continues to practice

guitar on Daddy's.  It's such a cool talent!

 

PROUD of YOU, Walker Boy!!!!!!
