all about kids "davis, libby and cole!"

We went to AAK on a rainy yucky Tuesday and we had some serious fun. Cole got to come this time and I'm pretty sure he had a great time too. I have to mention last time we were there I had an amazing time jumping in the boucer and playing ring around the rosie, but when we got there this time there was a sign saying no parents in boucer---let's just say I was a little offended!




These are a couple of my favorite shots of the kiddos and us. Can you tell Mallory was being attacked by the D monster?

Who knew this star would be such a big hit? Even Mallory joined in the FUN!

Davis got some majoy coaster time today and he took full advantage of it. Love that little wild man!

20 months

TWENTY MONTHS OLD! I cannot believe that in only four short months you will be two. Where has the time gone. I know, it has FLOWN! So many changes now it is hard to blog about all your new characteristics. YOU are very independant and have developed a not very nice sound when you are getting too much help! We are working on that and hopefully will conquer it in the next 20 years! You also learned to yell at Mimi's and Pawpaw's and mommy does not like it. WE have to get you back to using your sweet little call voice. You are talking more and more everyday and we are having to watch what we say very closely. You pick up on so much. Tonight we were eating with friends and you said milk. I told you they didn't have any milk so you said home. haha-you know where the milk is! You are still VERY bossy and again we are working on that as well. This is a product of LOTS of mommy time and having her all to yourself. My friend said it right, you need a sibling, but I am not ready to give you one just yet. You are still a very picky eater, but you are trying more things especially when we don't make a big deal about it. Your top favorite things to eat are corn, chicken nuggets, pizza, pancakes, poptarts, ziti and yogurt. Your motor skills are crazy awesome and you surpise me everyday with things you can get in to and climb. You wanted a golf ball the other day and climbed the couch and got into a shelf that had the one you wanted. You love the color blue and despite your knowledge of colors you say everything is blue. You can identify others and say the others but when asked about color it is immediate that you reply blue! You know you are one and can hold one finger up, but you love having two items so you often ask for two. You love to play especially if you have someone with you. Again another one of my traits, always wanting to be with people. You love watching Elmo, curious george, or anything that sings. You have a killer dance move and you love shaking your groove thing. (everybody clap your hands, etc and ring around the rosie) You make anything a toy-like a box that we can color, get it and drive trucks on. You are absolutley obsessed with trucks. Everything we do involves trucks and you must have one in your hands at all times...yes they even watch you eat! You are very imaginative. You never forget anything and use it when you are make believing. You love to listen to stories we make up and read and you love hearing about Fredrick(our elf on the shelf). You my friend are the most awesome, bossy, loving, 20 month old boy I have ever met! I love you!

You love talking on your new phone that aunt lala gave you. Wonder who you are calling? Pawpaw, Mimi, Pops, Mia, Lala, Rob, Bubba, Laura or Nick--You have so many people that love you and want the best for you.

You love anything you can do with your hands and Santa brought an early present this am. You got a little game to keep you busy. You are so smart and loved playing with mommy and daddy!
You take them all out and put them back in, sometimes they get stuck but you just pull harder and they eventually come out!

You my son are the light of my life. 20 months ago you changed my life forever and I had no idea what kind of effect you would have on me. You are too precious for words and I love you with all my heart. I pray that you will always be a sweet little boy and will have a special heart for those who may not have love in thier lives. Always treat others better than you want to be treated and love unconditionally. Life is not easy and you will fall down, but get back up and I promise God will carry you through. It may seem as though everything is going right for everyone else and you can't catch a break, but you stay postive and love your God and he will take care of you!

christmas decor

We decorated for Christmas almost two weeks ago, because we knew we were going out of town for Thanksgiving and boy was it lots of fun! Decorating with a year and a half old is much different than it was a 9 month old. He was totally wanting to help do everything. He even used his stool to put ornaments on the tree. He was so cute picking out the ornaments he wanted to hang and where they should go on the tree. He is such an entertainer. He had many tricks and he made sure mommy and daddy were there to catch them all.









Merry Christmas to all!!

Christmas card photo session

WE had lots of fun taking pics for our Christmas card. Mr Chuck was hilarious and we had trouble finding a shot with Shelley's eyes open! Here are some of my favortes that Aunt Linda took with my camera! Enjoy!

TN Videos

I had some major trouble dowloading and blogging today so I am doing a seperate blog for the videos we took this past week in TN.

Davis sure did enjoy his rides on the tractor! WE had to stop every so often and load the wagon with rocks and such. He really wanted the kitty, Pepsi, to ride in the wagon but mr kitty said no way! Davis tried out the wagon and enjoyed it as well!

TN Thanksgiving

Davis got a HUGE surprise when we got to TN for Thanksgiving...a tractor! He LOVES it and I took tons of cute pics of him on it. Walker is very inventive and created a way where we could pull him with a rope. Can you say he was in HEAVEN! I got tired of pulling the rope so I just hooked it around my waist and took off. A great workout and like I said Davis was happy as long as the tractor was moving!

Yogurt in the house. Mimi bought davis some yogurt and boy did he enjoy it, can't you tell?

This was his first time licking beaters. Umm...YUMMY! He loved the cream cheese icing Mimi made!

Uncle Mike and Sherry brought a toy, and Davis fell in love! They had a remote control truck that could climb anything and Davis began referring to Sherry as truck! A compliment for sure!

Staying at the farm means wearing our farm clothes. Davis went through many clothes on this visit. They have lots of one thing we don't play in much, MUD!

Took some cute pics with Mimi and Pawpaw during our visit.

Walker and I got our Christmas present early this year...wait for it...a .... I PAD! Davis sure does LOVE it!

A cow got loose while we were visiting and Davis loved watching it eat the grass. Funny thing is as soon as WAlker started mooing he stepped back over the fence and went back to his family! haha!

We had such a great visit. WAtch for another post on our photo shoot with Julie and Seth! Pictures are PRICELESS!
