Christmas

Christmas was magical! All of the kids loved it, the tree, the gifts, the lights. Everyone still believes in Santa, and so many times I felt my heart melt as I watch the kids give eachother made gifts, or sit in front of the tree. I even got a photo of all the kids together...Here's some of our facvorite traditions...

I chopped it off!!

  I cut all the craziness off! I was growing my hair out. For what?- I don't know. Found a picture I liked and decided to take the plunge and get rid of it. The kids hate it, Jared likes it, and I love it. So much easier, less time blow drying it, less food and sticky found in it, and a little more sassy.

Bubble Snakes

 

The weather was perfect Thursday so we took time to make Bubble Snakes. Super easy...water bottle, old sock and bubbles. Lots of fun! The only problem we ran into was the kids sucking for air through the bottle which made soapy solution go down their throats. Not so yummy- but they got the hang of it fast.

Love

 

Found Mea asleep, with a book, light on. My heart melted. I hope she falls in love with Shel Silverstien- one of my favorites. She really is as much as an angel as she looks here...most of the time!

Happy Birthday Papa

My Papa's birthday is tomorrow, so this post is for him. For those of you who don't know Papa Davis- he's one of my heroes. I am 29 and am still his one of his babies. I'm not ashamed to admit it. Besides my parents, Papa and Grandma have been my biggest cheerleaders...they have been there for everything,at every sporting event from the time I was 5 no matter if I was running state or sitting the bench, every birth, every wedding, every time I needed, and lots of times when I didn't. At 70 he was on my hands and knees mopping my floors after Jensen was born and is the best supervisor around. Whenever I see yellow felt gloves, avon chapstick, loafers, and the Cardinals- I think of Papa. Thanks for letting me still be one of your babies! So, Happy Birthday Papa! We hope we've made you proud!

Recap

There are tons of pictures and posts- sorry- just trying to catch up. Here's the summer recap. I didn't blog about Michigan, swimming, crafting, playing, or lots of the other ways we spent our time this summer. Sorry- here's the highlights!

1st Grade

Mea started school this morning. She was very excited to go. Her teacher looped- which means same teacher, same classroom, same classmate. This lead to tons less anxiety this morning Check out those shoes- we had to seach the US for pink high top converses. They look great- Thanks Grammy!!
