Davis turns 2!

Our little Davis turned 2 yesterday. I cannot say enough about this little boy.

He is such a joy in our family.

We call him our "lil' lover" because that is just what he is. He just loves everybody.

Davis is so laid back and easy going. He is pretty much always happy and content.

He is talking more and more. Sometimes I can't tell from the other room if it is him or Campbell talking. He loves to follow his big brother around and copy him.

Can't believe he is 2 now. It is so fun to watch him grow and learn everyday.

Happy Birthday Davis!

We LOVE you!!!

Thanksgiving 2010

What a wonderful Thanksgiving we had! Most of Trevor's family (we missed you Leslie and Ty) drove up on the icy/ snowy roads from Utah to Washington. We were so happy they got here safe and sound.

The girls were in heaven. Sleepovers with cousins every night! They stayed up way too late and would set the alarm to wake them up in the middle of the night to have "midnight parties".

We spent a lot of time making and eating yummy food. It was Thanksgiving after all!

Kim was the balloon queen. She shaped swords, poodles, viking hats, and so much more out of balloons. Great entertainment!!

Davis loved the turkey place holders we made.

Making the Thanksgiving fixins'.

Davis didn't even make it through the prayer....

One of the days we drove out to some "windmills" by our house. It was awesome to get right under them. The picture doesn't do it justice. It was HUGE.

.

We had to do some four-wheeling to get there and we pulled a guy out who was stuck on the way home... Trevor was in heaven.

Davis slept some more. Ate and slept. Ate and slept.

The girls made our traditional chocolate mint covered Ritz crackers.

Trevor put his new 4-wheeler to use and pulled the sled around behind our house. The kids had a ball. I even went for a ride.

They would come back frozen so we enjoyed a lot of hot cocoa.

Here is a picture of the whole gang in front of our "thankful tree".

And Kim giving her mom a piggyback ride. :)

Jerry brought his projector and it was so fun to watch movies on the wall. Better than the theatre!

The girls were creating new "plays" everyday. Even Megan acted them out (go Meg!).

The above picture is of the "ticket taker"... love it. These girls are so fun.



And more eating...

I will never forget this Thanksgiving. I truly felt love filling our home as we enjoyed just being together. I'm so grateful that our loved ones made the long drive to be with us. It meant so much. We miss you already!

Halloween 2010

We decided to paint pumpkins this year just to shake things up a bit.

We had a trunk or treat a few days before Halloween but I forgot to take pictures. :(

Halloween night we went down our street trick-or-treating with some friends.

Meg was a "nice" vampire. Davis' turn to wear the elephant costume (now it has been through each kid). Campbell was Spiderman and Hallie decided to be more creative this year and she and I made a jellyfish costume for her.

First Day of School

The first day of school started with smiles and butterflies in the tummies.

Unfortunately, the first day of school ended in panic and tears since the girls got on the wrong bus to get home but as soon as they were safe at home and lots of hugs were had they both informed us that they had had a great day (minus the bus ride).

Several weeks into school now they are still very happy and enjoying their new teachers and friends. YAY!

What a relief.

This has definitely been my biggest worry with the move so I am so very grateful.

Also, I am enjoying school starting an hour later than in Kentucky. ;)

Megan and her doll Grace

Megan loves dolls... just like I did as a child.

This is how I found her doll Grace this morning :

Here is a close up of the note that Grace was writing.

Campbell starts Preschool

This is Campbell's first year of preschool and he is LOVING it! (I am loving it too!)

His favorite thing is sharing time and he loves to bring something to show the class. He picks some of the funniest things to share like " a yellow shirt" and I think he has taken 3 or 4 different flashlights. What a cute little guy.
