THE 6TH PIC...[drumroll, drumroll, drumroll...]



This is one of my favorite days! We had just moved into our beautiful new home in Texas and decided to turn our play set in the backyard into a "Water Park"! The boys spent HOURS in the backyard slipping and sliding...I can still hear their giggles!! This picture isn't the best one to capture the fun...but this one did
Blow up pool: $7.00
Water Bill: $60.00
Sunscreen: Would have been a good idea $0.00 (Another memory I have...the sunburns the next day...OUCH!!!)
Watching my boy's laugh and play together: PRICELESS

Lets catch up...

I know it has been FOREVER since I have posted...but I will try and catch you up in as few words as possible...
-We went to AZ for Christmas and had a great time...we were unlucky in the job hunt though...so it looks like we will be living in a different state for a little while longer :) oh wait I mean:(












-Tanner has decided he is a big boy and has DEMANDED that he sleep with his brothers! Such a sad day...if it were up to me he would be sleeping in his crib till he was 16!!!
-And then I decided that Max was lonely and needed a friend so....we got him a puppy!!! I honestly thought this was a GREAT idea...I'm learning my "great" ideas really aren't that "great" ;)
We have definitely started 2009 out with a BANG! We hope you all had a happy and safe Holiday!

It's the most "WONDERFUL" time of the year....

We hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!

Have I totally lost my MIND??

We have a new addition to our family...meet MAX!
We took him in on a trial basis for the weekend and the kids ended up falling in love with him! I have to admit he is a really good dog. He will fetch a ball all day long (I'm not kidding ALL DAY...my arm is still sore). He already knows a few commands like sit and stay. And the best part...he knows his place is OUTSIDE!!

The boys are so excited to finally have a dog...and JD even seems to like him too ;)Bryson and Coby are in charge of feeding Max and picking up any doggy poops in the back yard(with a shovel)!! They haven't complained once...I think they are probably still "AWH" struck about getting a dog that everything about him is fun and exciting (even cleaning up his poops;)! I just wonder if I have taken on more than I can handle...hopefully the boys continue to help with Max and we will all live "Happily Ever After"!!

Happy Thanksgiving...GOBBLE, GOBBLE!!!

This year we decided to carry on the Davis family tradition and go to a Turkey Trot, but since we had no one to go and support I actually had to step up to the plate and run in the Turkey Trot!








(that's me in the front with all the "serious" runners...they kicked me to the back were I belong after my picture was taken)
(this is Coby giving me some advice before my big run...he is so funny!)

And were off!!!

It was a really nice run, I enjoyed running through the beautiful park, I saw a few deer and the weather was PERFECT! But the best part about it was running to the finish line and seeing my "CHEER SQUAD" on the side lines!!! Their faces were priceless, you would have thought I was running in the Olympics!
After that we headed home to start cooking....and when I say "we" you all know I mean "ME"..right?

My master piece...this had to of been the "BEST" turkey I have ever had...not to toot my own horn but seriously it was FANTASTIC!!!! The secret is to brine your turkey...it makes it so moist and juicy! DELISIOUSO












When it finally came time to sit down and eat Bryson said "WOW Mom this is a FEAST!"
I'm so glad he called it that since "dinner" doesn't take two days to prepare!!

It was so nice to just sit down with our "little" family and laugh, and talk. My favorite part of dinner was when we all said something that we were grateful for, Coby was thankful for Mommy,Daddy, brother, and Tanner. Bryson was grateful for his family. And Tanner I'm sure was thankful for his family too and the FOOD...that kid is always eating! What a wonderful holiday to be able to sit and reflect on all the blessings we have in our lives. We really are so blessed and I am so thankful for my sweet little family.
(Bryson wanted to take our picture...after a few tries he finally got a picture with our heads in the phrame;)

Who need's a "Boy Scout" when you've got "Super MOM"?

Don't you just love Winter? We woke up last Saturday to a nice chilly morning...there was actually frost on the ground! So of course I decided that we would make good use of our fireplace and build a fire! The boys were on board...so it was out to the "Forest" to collect some wood. Then we build a T.P. out of wood (something my dad taught me when I was young) and lit a match...JD was a skeptic but I knew this would be the greatest fire he had ever seen...and it was!! The kids were thrilled and I of course was "Super Mom" in their eyes!! So we kicked back and relaxed by warming our feet by the fire! AAAAHHHHHH!!

We finished the morning by listening to Christmas music and drinking hot chocolate! It was a great Saturday!

Halloween 2008

Knight Coby, Me, Batman, BuzzLight Year and our Jack'o'Latern!!


I carried on the Davis tradition...I was a witch for Halloween...no root beer, which JD was disappointed about...but were taking baby step's...maybe next year!
Tanner at first wasn't quite sure about the whole tricker treating idea...but once he realized that people were giving him Candy he was hooked! This is how he came home...passed out with a pumpkin full of candy! What a great Halloween ;)
