Let It Snow!

Last Saturday we received a special present when we woke up -- snow!! Last year, when it snowed we handled it differently because I was so determined to make a snow man. What else is the point of this little bit of snow?! We realized afterwards that we didn't really let Davis "enjoy" the snow since we were so intent on building the snowman. This year we actually played in it and didn't worry about scrounging up the tiny bit of snow that was on the ground to make a little snowman.

This sled is one of the sleds my Dad used to ride when he was a kid. Mom gave me them last year and I used them as decorations on our front porch. Well, this year when there was snow on the ground Davis and I thought we should put them to good use! So we gave it a try and the snow on the ground was just enough for us to glide through for a little while!

War Eagle!

The other day we realized Davis knew all the words to the Auburn fight song. That same day, he sang it over and over again. :) Here is our cutie! WAR EAGLE!!

Isaac's Got Wheels!

A couple of months ago, Isaac was at a friends house and just simply loved his little cozy coupe. In general Isaac can be occupied for a long time with any type of toy that has a steering wheel! Ever since, I have been on the lookout for one we could get for him from craigslist. Yesterday was the day! He received his set of wheels and is absolutely thrilled.

Davis & Hannah

While I was away and Dan was at work, Davis was with some great friends of ours from our church. Miki and I often get our kids together because we enjoy each others company, but also our kids are so close in age! Hannah is a month older then Davis and their little boy, Jonathan, is only a month older then Isaac! So perfect! Davis had an absolutely fabulous time.

Miki just sent me these pictures so I had to share. Aren't they adorable!!!

When Miki put them down for a nap in Hannah's room it was pretty quiet. She checked on them a few minutes into naptime to find this creative artistry! It is our version of Where's Waldo, with Where's Davis?!

Can't Sleep

I am beside myself with anticipation for this weekend. For over a year, this reunion has been planned for my best friends from high school to go to the beach for 4 days. No kids. No husbands. AND those days begin tomorrow for me!! I can hardly believe it and I don't really know what to do. I have never been away since Davis has been born without kids or Dan, so this is a first in the last 33 months! Well, I can't sleep, so I am going to post a few cute pics of the boys from a couple of days ago!

Isaac's 2nd finger painting experience! This one he was able to "get into" a bit more then a couple weeks ago. (after he realized it wasn't food and it wasn't supposed to go in his mouth...) Ha!

Isaac holds his hands out like this whenever he wants to be picked up. It is one of my favorite and most adorable things that he does. As you can see he was covered from head to toe in paint, I think a bit even was captured in the roof of his mouth. :)When we went to the shoe store with Mom to buy Isaac's 1st shoes, Davis spotted Thomas boots, Thomas umbrellas, and this Thomas raincoat. (they know toddlers well!) Sweet Grandma ended up getting Davis this most adorable raincoat. I wished I had let him go out and really play in the rain. But after the fact had to be good enough this time!

And... what will my boys be up to this weekend? Well Dan and Davis will be having lots of manly adventures, and Isaac is headed to spend a special weekend with Grandma and Gramps! Both are going to have undivided attention! I'm excited for them!!

Backyard Fun!

Getting ideas from friends blogs could be a theme of our last couple of weeks. :) Last Sunday we decided it would be fun to put the slide from our playset into our little pool. (thanks Kami!) Isaac had an absolute blast, but Davis didn't get into it quite as much. He enjoyed the tire swing that Dan hung that day much more! Oh! And one piece of advice: the little plastic slide is not made for adults. :) After Dan and I slid down it, it needed a little repair!

Kiddie Carnival!

Over the next few days I am going to try to play catch up on life's activities! I really don't have any excuse other then blogging has not been a huge priority lately!! A couple weeks ago we headed to the Athens Kiddie carnival, to let Davis ride is first rides after reading my friend's blog. (thank you Kimberly!!!) It will definitely be a family tradition until the kids are at least 4. It was amazing that all of the rides were geared towards about 2 years until about 4 or 5! What a wonderful idea!!!

All Davis wanted to know before we arrived was whether they had a train or not. Well, here he is on the little kiddie train that he LOVED! For the first few times around the track Davis kept his hands over his ears, as you can see by the picture, he soon became used to it!

Rocket ships! Davis did hang on to the sides for most of this ride until he learned from some other kids what he was supposed to be doing with that item in front of him. :)


That is my "baby!" At the highest point on the ferris wheel he was probably about 30 feet in the air. Each time they would stop to reload the swings, they would shake so much! I think this mommy was more nervous then the kids!!

Next year Isaac! He was almost big enough for some of the rides, but other then riding the carousel he just enjoyed cheering his brother on.

Beach Week 2009 (tm)

Every year (or so), my buddies from Pensacola try to get together for a week of goofing off on or near the beach. This was the first Beach Week that I was able to attend in about 13 years, so I was very pumped about going! Some pics:

We stayed at a house on Choctawhatchee Bay, near Destin, FL--which was awesome.

We spent only 15 minutes at the beach--because boating on the bay was simply more fun...and not as hot...and not crowded...and not burning my feet every time I took a step. This picture was taken to prove that we DID go to the beach.

Zack participates in the Beach Week Stunt Spectacular--NOT EASY.

Tommy films the action while Dan drives. (Spiky hair not intentional.)
