Picking Blueberries

2011-08-14T14:28:00.000-04:00

We went at the beginning of July to a local farm to pick blueberries. We met a family from Indianapolis there that Brian knew so the boys had fun playing with their kids after they got bored (or full) picking berries. Jack had fun picking the blueberries and trying to fill up his bucket--Dustin on the other hand didn't get 1 blueberry into his bucket because they went straight into his mouth. I finally cut him off because I was afraid he was going to get sick. We ended up picking 4 pounds of berries! We now have a freezer full of blueberries!!

We found out that day that Samuel loves blueberries as well. He was in his stroller eating cheerios and I looked over at one point and the little girl from the family we were with was putting blueberries straight into his mouth.

Busy Busy

2011-07-16T15:21:00.000-04:00

Here are some pictures that I have taken around here the past couple weeks. We have had some beautiful weather so we have been spending time playing outside. Since we got home from our trip a couple weeks ago Samuel has started crawling and is quite the mover now! He is just about to start pulling up on things as well. He is into EVERYTHING! Jack and Dustin are so helpful though to let me know when he has something he is not supposed to--usually because it is something of theirs. It is so hard to believe that Samuel is almost 1 and Jack is almost 5!!

our big boy who is almost 11 months old--so crazy

now that he is mobile he is into everything

our 3 boys

Samuel having a snack outside

Have I mentioned he really loves to eat?

he was trying to crawl to me (I moved off the blanket) and this is the face after he touched the grass

another great face

now that is better (scooted back on the blanket)

sweet smile

trying to get my camera--he was almost standing up to get to it

he looks so old here

can't get enough of those blue eyes

I told you :)

playing in the water table

they could stand there and play for hours

I love these boys!!

Camping Trip Take 2

2011-07-08T10:00:00.000-04:00

For their second camping trip of the summer, Brian took the boys to Turkey Run State Park which is about an hour and a half away. As you can see in the pictures it is a really cool park. It is hard for me to believe that all that is in Indiana :).

their campsite--very different from their first one

cute boys

I love this one

Summer at Purdue

2011-07-06T09:46:00.000-04:00

These are some pictures from the beginning of summer that I took while we were up walking around Purdue one night. The boys love to go up on campus and run around!

Samuel with those blue eyes

Brian and the boys in front of one of the fountains (the kids in the background were running through--the thing to do in the summer :))

I love this picture of them walking along the wall

First Camping Trip

2011-07-05T15:08:00.002-04:00

Brian took the boys on their first camping trip back in May to Prophetstown State Park nearby. They had so much fun! So much, in fact, that Brian took them again a few weeks later (pictures to come). There wasn't much shade so it was pretty warm but they didn't mind!

eating dinner (Samuel and I visited for a little while)

Jack and Dustin making their S'mores

Enjoying their s'mores

relaxing by the fire

Watching the sunset (probably at like 930 because it stays light so late). It was a late night which made for some sleepy boys the next day!

Summer Conference 2011

2011-07-02T09:11:00.001-04:00

Once again this year we were able to go as a family to RUF Summer Conference. Sadly, Samuel and I only made it down to the beach once for about 10 minutes but the first couple pictures below are a good picture of what there was a lot of--jumping in the pool over and over again! Swimming really clicked this year for the boys and they had so much fun!!

Same Pajamas Different Boys

2011-06-15T12:30:00.001-04:00

Here are pictures of the boys all wearing the same pj's. Sometimes I feel like Samuel looks just like Jack and others not at all. Dustin was just so little. :)

Waiting for Spring...

2011-04-12T14:09:00.000-04:00

Here are a bunch of pictures from the month of March. The Spring has been very busy around here with Dustin's 3rd Birthday among many other things! I knew that if I didn't start doing some posts I would end up having to post Summer pictures at the same time. These pictures are starting at the end of March and I am too lazy to go back and switch them all so we will work backwards :).

Jack waiting to go back to get Tubes in his ears--couldn't resist him in that gown

7 Months Old

2011-03-22T22:36:00.001-04:00

I have done a TERRIBLE job of posting stats about Samuel. I am going back and adding posts so that I have some monthly shots of him. Here is our big 7 month old!! He is so big!

Lately...

2011-02-17T20:22:00.000-05:00

Here are some pictures from the last few weeks. We have had lots of snow (along with everyone else) and really cold temperatures so we haven't done a whole lot but that has made us get creative in the house. We got the Wii back out and have played in the basement quite a bit. We are all SO ready for Spring to be here so we can play outside!!

Samuel is getting so big--he will be 6 months old next week. He started solids after his last check up and he LOVES them! We can't shovel it in fast enough. He loves watching his big brothers and they love to make him laugh. He continues to be such a sweet, laid back little boy!

Jack and Dustin are getting so big as well--it is hard to believe Dustin will be 3 in a month. He and Jack have so much fun together--most of the time! One of my favorite things is to listen to them play in the living room as I am in the kitchen.

Dressed for the cold

Samuel 5 Months

Jack bowling for the first time at a birthday party (blurry pics on my phone)

such a smiley sweet boy

Jack & Dustin were playing with Samuel on his blanket

He liked watching his brothers more than the toys on his bouncer

more smiles

Jack's homework for the letter D. I love the drawings of Dustin (in blue) and Daddy (in green). They were drawn in their favorite colors. The circle around "Brian's" mouth is his beard :).

Jack with the tambourine from his Valentine's day party

I love his blue eyes!! Hopefully they stay blue!

The boys with their heart shaped pizza on Valentine's day

Jack wearing his new Purdue sweatshirt. He said, "I look like a college student".

One more comparison shot...

2011-01-22T13:29:00.000-05:00

All of these pictures were taken right around 5 months when the boys were just starting solid food. I think of the three Samuel enjoys it the most--he inhales it and gets so excited when I put him in his high chair! I think that Samuel has the same chubby cheeks as Jack but he has bigger eyes and a longer face like Dustin. What do y'all think??

Our Little Frogs

2011-01-20T16:09:00.001-05:00

We have used this little frog towel for each of the boys. We took each of their pictures in this towel after a bath and here they are. Unfortunately the only one of Dustin I can find right now isn't a great one but it is amazing to me how much the boys looked alike at this age. If it wasn't for the date on the pics I would have a hard time telling them apart. The formatting on this post is all weird but the pictures are the important part!

first 2 are Samuel

the only one I could find of Dustin

the last 2 are Jack

Fall 2010

2011-01-19T13:34:00.000-05:00

So even after this post I will have at least 2 more but I am working on getting all caught up. These pictures start with the beginning of September and go up to the week before Thanksgiving. My next posts will be of August. With both Samuel and Jack's birthdays I couldn't include them here. It is crazy to see how much all 3 boys have changed!

Dustin and I eating Gelato

We had quite the crew in Greyhouse (a local coffeeshop with yummy gelato) on a Saturday night. :)

Our 2 pirates on Halloween night right before Trick-or-Treating

Because we left for Christmas on December 3rd, we decorated very early to enjoy it--like November 10th or something. So this is the boys painting Christmas trees to frame and hang up. We did this when I was little and my mom still hangs them every year.

Jack made this Indian costume for his Thanksgiving Program at school. That same night we ate at Purdue's dining court where they do a Thanksgiving meal. Naturally Jack had to wear his costume there too. The college students LOVED it!!

Jack before we left to go up to campus

Samuel at 3 months old with big smiles!

Playing catch up...

2011-01-13T14:14:00.007-05:00

So I decided that I needed to do a blog post otherwise I was never going to do it again. I have been so bad about taking pictures since Samuel was born but I am going to do better in 2011! Here is a random assortment of pictures starting at Thanksgiving and ending New Years Day. I am going to go back after this post and try to do some more catch-up from the Fall.

Samuel had his 4 month check-up last week and he is getting so big! He was 15 pounds 10 ounces (50th percentile) and 25 inches long (also 50th percentile). He has started solid food now and LOVES it! He continues to be such a sweet, laid back baby! Jack and Dustin are great big brothers and are very helpful to me!

Christmas 2010

I love Dustin looking at Jack in this one

Daddy & Mia were dancing around behind me

reading with Mia

Sophia "holding" Samuel

After I let her do this the first time, she wanted to hold him every time he was awake. She would sit and just hold him and talk to him. She would say, "I need my Baby Sam."

In Fort Worth with Matthew & Caleb

The four of these boys had SOOO much fun together! They would all wake up asking for each other and Jack (who woke up the earliest) would always try to persuade Emily into getting Matthew & Caleb up.

Jack & Caleb were big time buddies

Matthew & Dustin kept looking at the camera at different times

Christmas Day we tried to get a picture of all the cousins in their matching pajamas. This one turned out pretty good before things got rough!

Samuel & Caroline were DONE at this point :)

Dustin in the car on the drive back to Indiana giving me a grumpy face

Daddy & Jack during the Rose Bowl

GO Frogs!

Timothy Samuel Davis

2010-09-02T14:08:00.010-04:00

Instead of writing one long post containing pictures of the last 2 weeks in our family I have decided to break it up into lots of smaller posts. Here is the first one!

Timothy Samuel Davis was born August 22nd at 10:21 am. He weighed 7 pounds 13 ounces and was 20 inches long. We had a c-section scheduled for August 26th but Samuel decided that he didn't want to wait that long! Here are some pictures from our first day with him.

Daddy's first time holding Samuel

As soon as he was out of my stomach he started sucking his thumb. Here he is trying to find it!

The anesthesiologist (her name was Dr. Fisk :)) helped me get some kisses in just a few minutes after he was born.

Here we are in the recovery room getting some time together.

Brian got to cut the umbilical cord this time and got to give Samuel his first bath while I was finishing up in the recovery room.

our sweet baby boy

Grandma's first time holding Samuel and Jack checking him out.

Jack's first time holding Samuel

A sweet picture of all the boys in our family!

Stay tuned for more...

Difference a Year Makes

2010-08-08T08:14:00.003-04:00

I have been looking through a lot of pictures recently and came across these pictures we took at Happy Hollow Park last August not long after we moved here. I then found some we have taken this summer at Happy Hollow. It is amazing to me how much older the boys look now!

A Fun Summer

2010-08-05T21:29:00.010-04:00

We have had a busy but great summer and it isn't over yet! There are a lot of pictures in this post and I probably won't have the patience to put a caption on each one. After Summer Conference we traveled for almost 4 more weeks and then made our way back to Indiana. Then last week Brian was in Atlanta all week for training so my dad came and spent the week with the boys and me to help me with the boys and to help us get ready for the baby! He will be here 3 weeks from today (August 26th). These pictures may be a little out of order but they start with some from last week and go all the way back to the last ones which were taken in May.

Pics from the boys first time at Chuck E. Cheese's

(or Chuck E. Jesus according to Jack)

These next ones are from the indoor bounce house place in town. Jack loved it and Dustin did too after getting over the loud noises!

Jack looks so old here

these are from a concert on campus we took the boys to a while back--Dustin loved dancing

Jack was taking some pictures

The morning of the concert I took the boys to the fair. Jack got to feed that horse in the background, Dustin wanted nothing to do with it!

Our week at the beach...

2010-05-18T13:01:00.005-04:00

Here are some pictures from our week at the beach! Each year RUF has a conference the week after school ends at Panama City Beach, FL. We were so excited to be able to go with Brian and be with the students as well. We also had so much fun! The boys absolutely loved it and Dustin woke up each morning not wanting breakfast but the beach. Of course I didn't take nearly enough pictures but I did get some cute ones. After getting back to Indiana and having highs in the 50's I wish we were still there!

this picture was our last night--you can tell how tired they are!

Spring Ends and Summer Begins

2010-05-07T07:44:00.005-04:00

This week marked the end of the Spring semester for Purdue students. It seems like things start wrapping up here because so many people are affiliated with Purdue. This week at Jack's school they had their Spring Program. It was held in the sanctuary of the church (the same as Brian's ordination) where his school is and we were clearly rookies! Jack had to be there at 6:15 so that is when we got there...we were 3 rows from the back which is why we don't have any pictures inside! Brian was able to get some good video though. They sang 3 songs and then there was a reception afterwards with cookies! The pictures we got were from when we were leaving--you can tell Jack was in school mode because in the picture he has his hands behind his back like he is in line with his class! :)

here is a video of the first song they sang

We are leaving tomorrow for what will be another month of traveling. We are going to Panama City Beach, Florida tomorrow (at least starting our drive tomorrow) for RUF Summer Conference. We are so excited to spend a week at the beach! After that we begin making the rounds to Kansas City and Fort Worth...stay tuned for pictures!

An Indiana Spring

2010-04-22T15:10:00.008-04:00

First things first: we found out on Monday morning that we will be adding another little BOY to our family this August! He is healthy and growing just like he should! It is hard to believe that in about 4 months we will be a family of 5!!

We have taken advantage of the above average temperatures this Spring and spent lots of time at all the wonderful parks West Lafayette has to offer. There are so many to choose from and it has been fun to check them all out. They keep saying the rain is going to catch up with us and it looks like it is about that time. We have tried to get our energy out the past few days since they are calling for rain all weekend. The first pictures are from earlier in the week at a park that we go to frequently. The second group are from this morning at a park we have only been to once before. The last time we went there, Dustin was not as stable on his feet so it was much harder to play there. This time things were totally different! A little girl from Jack's class at school was there when we got there so she showed them the ropes. It gave Jack a lot more confidence seeing her climb everything and after that he and Dustin took off. :)

they love to pretend they are walking on a tight rope just like on wii fit

the rest are from this morning--the park we went to was huge and so much fun!

you can see Jack at the top of the hill--Dustin trying to keep up but it is a really big hill

another "tight rope"

they both probably climbed up this net at least 25 times

Easter 2010

2010-04-06T13:11:00.004-04:00

Here are some pictures from Easter this year. The first few pictures are from Jack's Easter program at school. We got to go listen to the children sing a song, then we heard the last part of the Easter story that they had been reading, then we got to have some snacks and do a craft all together.

Here are pictures from dying Easter eggs. The boys really like doing it and Dustin only tried to drink the dye a couple times! After they dried, we discovered that Jack LOVES hard boiled eggs--something we didn't know before!

Here are some actually taken on Easter. I am so sad that we didn't get a family picture or any pictures before church but here are the boys having an egg hunt in our backyard after we finished dinner.

Busy Boys

2010-03-24T08:27:00.006-04:00

We have had a busy couple weeks around our house! Last week was Purdue's Spring Break and since the students were gone, Brian had a lighter week as well. Because of that we decided it was time to start painting. He painted our front room (known as the singing room by Jack--no idea why) and the hallway. Since Brian was painting, the boys needed to paint too! However, not sure what I was thinking with our children because neither of them like their hands too dirty so the finger painting consisted of 1 finger!!

Jack decided he would rather color

We also got to celebrate Dustin's 2nd birthday. We had a really fun day with the boys celebrating Dustin!! After we picked Jack up from school we went to Chick-fil-a, the park, and then home to open presents. You can see here that Jack was doing everything he could to let Dustin do it all by himself--it was very hard for him! :)

taking his time

probably took a good 5 minutes to get to this point

Dustin getting ready to blow out his candles. Jack had been singing "Happy Birthday" to him all day and Dustin would pretend to blow candles out everytime!

This week is now Jack's Spring Break. We can't figure out why they don't do it the same week as Purdue! Jack went to this gymnastics gym a couple months ago on a field trip and they gave us a free open gym coupon so yesterday we decided to check it out. Plus Jack wanted to show us his "exercises" there. The boys loved it!! We ran around and played for almost 2 hours--maybe the best $3.00 ever spent! Jack really liked walking on the balance beam (he kept calling it a tight rope like on Wii Fit) and Dustin absolutely loved the big foam pit. I had to watch Dustin because he would take off for the pit and just dive in. He is going to be scary around the pool this year!

Here are some pictures from my phone. I had put the camera away because I was afraid I would lose it. They aren't good quality but you can see how busy they were!

Jack not so sure about it

can't really tell but Dustin has a huge smile on his face

Dustin's Turn

2010-02-10T08:00:00.000-05:00

Well Jack had his turn here and now it is Dustin's turn to announce that we will be adding a new little baby to our family in late August 2010!

he wasn't interested in facing the camera

but he really loved the football on his shirt

even though it doesn't look like it here, I think they really are excited

Playing in the Snow

2010-02-09T22:29:00.002-05:00

Last weekend we had the first snow since having snow attire for the boys. They absolutely loved it!! Jack was ready to come back inside but only because he knew there was hot chocolate with marshmallows involved. Dustin on the other hand, was NOT ready! He threw quite the fit when it was time to come inside. It would be great if we could have the snow but have the temperatures up just a little bit. Jack was the pro at throwing snow balls and Dustin quickly decided that is what he liked to do also. You can see in the picture with him holding the snow that he is not quite sure. It is snowing as I type this right now and we are expected to get up to 8 inches so there could be more snow play for us this weekend!!

Jack so excited to throw a snow ball at me

Dustin checking out the snow (the sun was out that day so we constantly heard, "hot hot"--silly boy)

mid throw

the snow was so deep that Dustin pretty much just stood in one place and still needed help with his balance :)

he decided to get Daddy though!

December "Adventures"

2010-01-13T20:39:00.015-05:00

Whenever we are on a road trip, Jack refers to it as our "adventure" so I thought I would post pictures from all our "adventures"! We have been back in Indiana for a little over a week now after spending the previous 4 1/2 weeks on the road. We started out and drove to Kansas City where Brian went on to Dallas for training and we stayed to celebrate my mom's 50th birthday!! The boys and I then joined Brian in Fort Worth and stayed/took over the Bates home for a week before going back to Kansas City for Christmas. Brian also made a trip to the Fiesta Bowl which didn't go quite as we hoped but I think they still had a great time. When he got back to Kansas City we packed up the car (having to leave quite a bit of stuff in KC) and drove east to Indiana just in time to get another 6-8 inches of snow!

We are slowly getting back into the swing of things and the boys have discovered all of the toys they hadn't seen in a month! It was a long time to be away but we are thankful we got to spend time with so many of our friends and family!

Now that I have posted pictures, I should probably start taking down Christmas stuff!

From Halloween to Christmas

2009-11-30T14:47:00.007-05:00

So I know that my last post was of Halloween costumes but because we are leaving on Friday and won't be back in Indiana until early January, we had to put our Christmas tree up early. So right after Brian's Ordination weekend (there are still pics to come from that plus a classic video), the tree went up. I love having the tree up especially because in our new house it is right in front of our big front windows. So here is our now annual picture in front of the tree.

first a flashback: December 2008

December 2009

I think after this they both ended up falling backwards :)

last year

this year: our big 3 year old of course holding Lightning and Mater

not a great pic but you can see the full effect

one last look back--stay tuned for Christmas 2009

Halloween 2009

2009-11-11T15:08:00.003-05:00

As most of you know, the boys were Buzz Lightyear and Woody for Halloween. We went trick-or-treating but it was pretty cold out so we only went to about 10 houses. You can tell by looking at the boys that they had layers underneath their costumes.

Buzz

Woody discovering the candy by the front door

look at those chubby cheeks

it was too cold for the cowboy hat so instead he wore this

Jack picking his own candy. This house had things hanging in the trees that would shout at us as we walked by. Dustin was not impressed.

they are both looking into the trees as we walk away

After we went trick-or-treating we came home, watched Toy Story, and ate candy from their baskets (and ours because we had NO trick-or-treaters). It was a great Halloween!

Fall is here...

2009-11-11T14:34:00.005-05:00

These are all pictures from the month of October. The first one was taken when Grandma and PaPa were at our house and then the next few are when the boys and I were in Kansas City and took a trip to see Uncle Danny at the Fire Station. The last ones are just at our house and playing in the leaves in the backyard.

Some old and new pictures

2009-10-16T15:33:00.005-04:00

So some of these are really random and they are all out of order but I didn't have the patience to mess with them. This first picture is Dustin's hair one day after a nap (notice the mullet--he had a haircut soon after this). Then it goes to a few weekends ago when my dad came and spent the weekend with us. Then it goes back to sometime in September when we went to the park on afternoon and the boys loved playing with the leaves.

Grandpa and Dustin (post haircut)

1st Corn on the Cob (not too impressed)

Jack didn't eat it after this--he didn't like his fingers being dirty :)

Pulling out the fall clothes--bad picture of Dustin but he looks so big!

Jack & Dustin's "Tricks"

2009-09-21T08:12:00.002-04:00

Here is another video of the boys, this one taken on Brian's phone. This was right before book time on Saturday night and all of a sudden they went crazy! :)

One more video...

2009-09-15T11:06:00.002-04:00

I have emailed this video to quite a few people but thought I would add it to the blog too. This is such a classic example of Dustin's fearlessness and how he knows exactly what to do to irritate Jack. :)

First Day of School

2009-09-13T15:47:00.003-04:00

Here is a sweet picture of Jack from his first day of school. He is going to Preschool 2 mornings a week this fall at a church a few minutes from our house. He absolutely loves it and last week told me, "Ok have fun Mommy, I will see you later". I always wait around for a few minutes but he just goes in and starts playing. After his first day, I asked him where he wanted to go to lunch and he said Chic-fil-A so that is where we went!

Weekend Fun

2009-09-13T15:00:00.008-04:00

We had a great weekend with Mia! It was a busy couple of days but we had lots of fun! We went to Purdue and walked around campus and did lots of playing in the backyard. The weather has been beautiful and we are trying to enjoy it as much as we can before the cold gets here! :) Here is a decent picture of the four of us on campus.

the boys love to run around--it was interesting because we were there on a Friday morning so there were students everywhere and Jack had to talk to everyone he saw, so funny!

Driving and Other Lessons

2009-09-10T09:45:00.002-04:00

Ok--Jack may kill me later for posting this video but it is so funny!! This was over his birthday weekend driving his car. The video is a little long but will be worth it in the end! It makes me laugh out loud each time.

Jack's BIG Lightning McQueen

2009-09-07T21:42:00.003-04:00

Here is one of the videos we took last weekend. There will be more...

Jack's 3rd Birthday

2009-09-07T20:29:00.008-04:00

For Jack's birthday my Dad and Becky (Grandpa and YaYa) came to our house to spend a long weekend with us! We had lots of fun doing birthday celebrations and also got a lot done at the house! This first picture is out of order but I just love this one! This is on Jack's birthday after he opened presents. In this picture you can see his BIG Lightning McQueen from Grandpa and YaYa that he can drive!! He loves it--although right now he is more content to just sit in it :). You can also see all of his cars lined up on the coffee table. The second picture starts the first morning after Jack woke up and got to open his BIG Lightning. I have really funny video that I will post soon.

had to find a spot to put his cup where Dustin can't get it

a little apprehensive about ripping the CARS paper :)

had to sit in it immediately (from my phone)

Dustin wanted in too

Jack wants him out

ate a quick breakfast, got dressed, and out we go to drive

he was really funny driving...Brian got quite the workout trying to keep

him from hitting cars, curbs, Dustin, etc...

when it was time to go in, Dustin got a push from Jack

We had such a great time! I still can't believe Jack is 3 years old!

The Zoo

2009-08-17T09:38:00.008-04:00

We made a weekend trip to the zoo! The zoo here is very different from the one in Fort Worth but is really fun! It is free which is great and has a barn area where the animals (mostly goats) wander around. It is the perfect size for little kids! The boys and I had been once before but yesterday was the first time Brian had gone with us.

they have a few different kinds of little monkeys

here are the boys walking through the barn to get to the petting zoo part

Jack driving the tractor

Dustin wanted in on the action

there are 10 baby goats and Jack loved to pet them

so did Dustin

Dustin didn't let Daddy get too far away

Happy Hollow Park: Round 2

2009-08-05T13:22:00.003-04:00

Yesterday we decided we would try Happy Hollow Park again. The last time we were there it ended badly (Dustin fell face first onto the concrete after running down the hill in crocs) and las night it was beautiful outside. It rained most of the day yesterday so everything was pretty wet but the boys still had fun! We also decided that we would take Lucy along with us since she doesn't seem that happy to be our dog again (I think she had turned into a farm dog in Kansas City). Jack LOVED being in charge of holding her leash! If he wasn't coming down the slide, he was holding onto it! The other big news was that this was our first outing in big boy pants (no diaper)! We were only there about an hour or so but Jack did great!!

Summer

2009-08-03T11:01:00.000-04:00

We have had a busy summer to say the least! Although it has been busy, we have remembered to take some pictures along the way! These first pictures are from our new home in West Lafayette, Indiana. This first one was after our first trip to the park. Unlike Jack, Dustin has no fear and went running down a hill only to land face first.

here are the boys swinging (pre-fall)

sweet cousins

these pictures go all the way back to 4th of July--we were in Kansas City and

spent the evening at the carnival in Parkville

you can't tell but Jack was quite scared on the carousel, his legs were

shaking from trying to hold on so tightly

Dustin's 1st Ice Cream Cone

more carnival rides

Dustin enjoyed them too!

Sick of these yet?

2009-05-15T17:23:00.006-04:00

I realize that some people may not like this as much as I do...but if you haven't noticed I love matching pajamas! I think it is one of the cutest things so sorry if you don't enjoy it as much as me. This is the latest round and these pictures also capture one of the best things right now: the boys playing together. When I was pregnant, I heard many horror stories about how hard it would be in the beginning having two children eighteen months apart. However, those stories were always followed with how sweet it would be to watch them play together when they got a little bit older. We have reached the "little bit older" stage and it is wonderful! Our favorite thing to hear is these two little boys laughing and running and playing together. It makes those stressful moments at the beginning (nothing was as bad as the stories I heard :) ) hard to even remember.

We are so thankful for these two!!!

1st Haircuts

2009-05-09T10:14:00.006-04:00

Last weekend while Grandpa and Ya-Ya were in town, we decided it was time to get Dustin's first haircut. His hair was really starting to get out of control in the back (see top picture). You will notice that Dustin was quite happy while having his haircut--only because of the sucker. I don't think I would have ever let Jack have a sucker this young but when we were flying back from Indiana Dustin got his first one on the plane in a moment of desperation and obviously he loves them!! You will also see I put in a couple pictures of Jack's first haircut. It is amazing how different they look! Jack's head was so much bigger!! The other thing you will notice is they are intently staring at something in front of them...the tv. At Cool Cuts they get to choose a movie to watch while getting their haircut.

notice the curl

still enjoying it

this is pre sucker and right after this picture, things went south

I am really trying to put off packing!

Bulldozer Shirts

2009-05-08T22:58:00.007-04:00

The boys got some matching shirts from Grandma and when Jack saw that Dustin had his on this morning, Jack had to wear his too. So I decided to take some pictures of them together because it had been few weeks. I think they are starting to look more and more alike!! With Dustin walking now, it is fun to watch them together--he can keep up (for the most part)!

so sweet

love those smiles!

Easter 2009--Beware: Lots of Pictures

2009-04-13T13:49:00.012-04:00

We had a great Easter weekend! Mia came down to spend our last Easter in Texas with us and we were very busy! On Friday night after she got here we went to Uncle Julio's for dinner for her last time there (hopefully we will go back again before we leave :)). Then Saturday morning we headed to TCU bright and early--the boys woke up early so we got ready and out of the house before we realized it was only 9:15--so we walked around campus before the bookstore opened. After hitting up the bookstore we went to Dutch's for big cheeseburgers for lunch and then came home to dye eggs and play out in the backyard with some new bubbles. Dustin started walking a lot more over the weekend so he even had fun playing in the backyard. On Easter, we went to church and just spent the afternoon and evening at home. We cooked Easter dinner and had a great time playing with the boys. It was such a great Easter!

Daddy and the boys

a good picture of Mia's time here--Jack pulling her in every direction :)

this outfit was Jack's but he never got to wear it because it was long and skinny and that never really described him :)

this is how attempts at family pictures go these days

Morning at the Zoo

2009-04-08T16:14:00.005-04:00

A couple weeks ago when we met a group of friends at the zoo, we decided that since a zoo pass would pay for itself in 3 1/2 visits that it was worth spending the money even though we would only use it for 3 months. So--this morning the boys and I decided to make a trip to see the animals. Another good thing about having a pass is that I don't feel like we have to stay all day to justify spending the money. We went for about an hour and forty-five minutes this time and had lots of fun! It was a beautiful morning and there were tons of people there but Jack loves looking at the animals and running around.

he loves his sunglasses

Dustin about to fall asleep in the stroller

he loved the elephants too--he thought he was such a big kid climbing on the fence because Whit taught him how to do it last time we were there

Cupcake Round 2

2009-03-30T16:28:00.005-04:00

One night last week we decided to give Dustin a second chance with a cupcake since he was so tired the first time around (and I was a little out of it too :)). He loved it as you will see below! Jack was really concerned because he was making such a mess--Dustin however, didn't mind at all.

We also visited the pediatrician last week for D's 1 year check-up. He weighed in at 21 lbs. 10 oz. (between 30th and 40th percentile) and 30 inches tall/long (50th percentile). He has gained over 3 lbs. since we switched to all table food and the doctor was very pleased with that. It was quite the circus when it was time for shots because Jack does not like it when Dustin cries. He kept telling me/yelling, "Mommy, he doesn't like that". After the shots, Jack got a sticker (or 3) so it all ended up ok!!

Jack likes to stand behind Dustin's chair and play Peek-a-Boo

He was a very happy little boy!

Jack concerned about how messy Dustin is :)

Dustin with cupcake everywhere!

1 Year Old

2009-03-21T08:30:00.009-04:00

On this past Wednesday we celebrated Dustin's 1st birthday! It is hard to believe he is already 1, especially because he is so much smaller than Jack was at this age. It was fun to watch Dustin eat cupcakes and open presents with help from his big brother. Dustin is not walking on his own yet but makes laps around the house with the toys he can walk behind. He is sleeping very well at night because of that! At one point while eating his cupcake, I thought he was just going to fall asleep!

Here is Dustin wearing the TCU hat that Uncle Johnny

got for Jack but it never fit his big head.

Spring Forward

2009-03-08T15:07:00.005-04:00

Here are some pictures of the past couple weeks. The boys have been having lots of fun together in between illnesses at our house :). They are taking turns being sick which has kept us in the house more than we would like. It is hard to believe that Dustin turns one in 10 days!!

4 Generations of Davis Boys

2009-03-08T14:57:00.004-04:00

A couple weeks ago we had a house full of visitors!! Mike and Lori came down from Kansas City and Dan, Nancy, and Foxy (the dog) came up from Corpus Christi. We had a great weekend (although this is the only proof I have) and it was fun to have everyone here for Mike's birthday. Jack loves to help people celebrate birthdays!! Here is a picture of the four generations of Davis boys.

Same pajamas, different boys...

2009-02-28T09:33:00.004-05:00

I have started trying to go through the boys clothes and switch out seasons and sizes since we are having some warmer days. I found these pajamas that were Jack's originally. They are size 12-18 months and you can tell that they are still a little big on Dustin (who turns 1 in 3 weeks).

Here is Jack wearing the same 12-18 month pj's but the difference is he was only 7 MONTHS OLD!!!

They are both very cute boys though if you ask me!!

Rock Chalk Jayhawk

2009-02-20T19:23:00.005-05:00

Jack got a package today at about 5pm. Papa and Grandma sent him his first "real" football uniform. It is now 7:25 and he is still wearing it!!

His helmet is a little big, it falls down when he runs.

Just have to show the KU--he loves being a Jayhawk!

Horses and Turtles

2009-02-07T11:15:00.005-05:00

Yesterday we made the trek out to Jacksboro, TX to visit Anna Kate and Lyla. They have lots of fun things to do and Jack loves to play with Lyla. Out at their house they have a miniature horse that kids can ride so that was our first stop. Jack was excited to get on but after about 30 seconds said, "Ok mommy, I'm done".

He decided it was more fun just to play in the dirt

Here are some pictures of the boys in their matching turtle pajamas.

I love getting them matching stuff!

This is the best we could do for a picture of them together

Here is Jack after he woke up at 9:00 this morning.

(Notice his handful of cars--doesn't go anywhere without them)

10 Months Old & Eating Spaghetti

2009-01-18T16:40:00.005-05:00

Last week Dustin had his 9 month check-up. He is actually 10 months old today but because of Christmas the appointment was delayed. He weighs 19 lbs. 1/2 ounce and was 28 inches long. He is 50% on his height but only 25% on his weight. Since his percentile on weight has dropped some, she told us full steam ahead on eating...basically to let him eat as much as he wants! I took this picture after his first time eating spaghetti. As you can tell, he loved it!

Recent Pics...

2008-12-20T10:18:00.009-05:00

December has been a busy but great month!! The boys and I went to Kansas City for a couple weeks to take care of Grandpa and while we were there, Brian finished up his last semester of seminary! Jack and Dustin have really started to play together which has been so fun to watch. Dustin is all over the place crawling and just started pulling up and walking along things so he is basically in to everything! Here are some pictures that go back to Thanksgiving when Mia came to celebrate with us!

Here is a picture of Dustin's rat-tail. Brian wanted me to take a picture of it before we cut it. The picture doesn't do it justice but it is hard to get Dustin to sit still!

Jack looking handsome before church

I had 2 signs, one that said Merry and one that said Christmas, I tried to get the each to hold one sign but this is what we ended up with.

Lately...

2008-11-10T22:06:00.005-05:00

Here are some new pictures. We have had a busy month and a half! Dustin has started crawling (I have some cute video that I will post soon) and now has 2 teeth. It is a whole new world! Jack is learning to share with him :) and they are really starting to have fun together. One morning this week when Dustin and I went in to get Jack out of bed, Jack wanted Dustin in bed with him and so now Dustin gets in bed with Jack every morning. It is too cute!

Pumpkin Patch

2008-10-10T10:25:00.009-04:00

We made our trip out to the pumpkin patch yesterday morning. It was not quite as much fun as last year simply because Dustin is heavier than he was last year and Jack is faster! The pumpkins were great but once Jack saw the wooden train, that's all he wanted! The first picture is after we got home and for once Jack was ready for pictures and Dustin wouldn't keep his hand out of his mouth!

Some new pictures...

2008-10-07T21:39:00.004-04:00

Here are some pictures from the past month and a half or so. They go all the way back to Jack's real birthday at Roaring River. Then there is one of all the boys in their Horned Frog gear! This last picture was maybe the first time where Jack was interested in "playing" with Dustin. It was so sweet!

The wheels on the train

2008-09-06T15:00:00.003-04:00

This is Jack singing "The Wheels on the Train". You may know it as the "The Wheels on the Bus" but the words have been changed for Thomas (the train). Either way, it is really cute!!

Jack's Birthday Party

2008-08-24T16:52:00.008-04:00

Here is part 1 of Jack's birthday party post! I didn't actually take that many pictures but am hoping to get some from people who did (thanks Louanne and Kyla)! We had a great time and Jack didn't stop running from the moment we walked into the Little Gym. I have some video as proof but it won't load at the moment so pictures will have to do. After we got home from the party, we let Jack open his birthday present because we are going to be out of town next weekend on his actual birthday and didn't want to drag it with us. After he opened it, he proceeded to play his guitar until it was time to read books for bed!

Playing guitar with Daddy
Here are the pictures from the party! They had this special bubble thing that made hundreds of bubbles and Jack loved it!!

See the bubbles all around
Here he is "jumping"
At the end, everyone got around the parachute and Jack got to sit on it. I thought he was going to be scared but he loved it

4th of July

2008-07-09T23:55:00.003-04:00

We had a great 4th of July! There is a park near our house that has a duck pond and has a great place to play so we decided to start our day there. We took an entire loaf of bread and used it all! The ducks at this park are so used to being fed that they come right up to you if they think they are going to get some food. The cutest part was Jack following them around saying, "Hi duck, hi duck, etc". After we spent a good hour at the duck pond we walked back over to the play area where Brian and Jack played until Jack was dripping with sweat and it was time for a lemonade from Sonic :).

Choo Choo!

2008-07-09T23:41:00.005-04:00

Last week was our first time to ride the Forest Park Train. I had taken the Towle's there before but it had been forever. Within the past 2 weeks, Jack has developed a love for all trains and since so many people had told us how great it was, we decided to try it out! It definitely lived up to the hype and I am sure it will become a regular activity for us. Here is Jack just waiting for us to go. From the moment we got there until the train left (about 10-15 minutes), he just sat holding on to the railing. Then everytime the horn would sound he would get the biggest smile on his face.

The 3 of us during the train ride

Long time no pictures...

2008-06-23T14:44:00.006-04:00

I realize that it has been almost a month and a half since I put any pictures up but we have been busy the past few weeks in the Davis household! The boys and I went to KC at the beginning of June while Brian was in Colorado and then after that we had Vacation Bible School so we were at church each day! Last week Dustin turned 3 months old and Jack will be 22 months next week. Dustin has started rolling over which is great, except for the fact that it wakes him up! He is getting so big and smiling all the time (Brian and I both think that he smiles easier and quicker than Jack did at this age but who would know that now). Jack continues to be a great big brother and keeps us entertained and laughing most of the time. The following pictures have been taken over the past month or so starting with the first one that was taken while we were in KC. We went to Tommy T's in Parkville for dinner and ice cream and Jack had a great time entertaining all of the customers as he devoured this ice cream cone you see in the picture. When the picture was taken he had been eating it for awhile (as you can see from his face :)) and now that I think about it--I think that ended up being his dinner!
Here are Jack and Grandpa riding the tractor. I think that Grandpa ended up spending about an hour and a half in the hot garage letting Jack climb on and off the tractor after they had a ride. I kept trying to get them to come in the house but actually I think Grandpa was having just as much fun :)!

Here are Jack and Daddy after bath time coming in to say hi to Dustin and me. We have a pretty good routine down--we split up and Brian give Jack his bath (and has to do all his lotion) and I give Dustin his bath. Everytime they get done, Jack always wants to come in and say hi to us with his "hat" on.

I bought matching jammies for the boys and this is the first picture of them matching. I don't know why but everytime I take a picture of them together Jack has to have his hands in his mouth.

This picture is Jack "holding" Dustin, he said he wanted too but then changed his mind :).
Here is Jack posing with his duck from VBS. The duck is holding a basketball which is really confusing for him because he sees the ball and assumes that means it is a ball so the duck gets thrown all over the house!

Here is Dustin on his 3 month birthday before we left for VBS! In true Davis fashion, he hates for anything to be tight around his waist so within 30 minutes of arriving in the nursery, he got upset--they took his shorts off and he was fine!

Here is Jack's cheese face! Instead of seeing his sweet smile, when he sees the camera--this is what I see!
Caught him off guard

Here he is ready to go out to his pool, he and Daddy were playing in the backyard!

No more pictures please!
Here is Jack with his new favorite pastime, he loves to play Daddy's guitar. Brian brought it home and so now he goes up to the guitar case and says, "Guitar...out...play". He loves to sit on the couch and "play" the guitar all by himself.
Here he is blowing me a kiss!

2 Months Old and Baptism

2008-05-19T13:49:00.006-04:00

Dustin had his 2 month check-up this morning and we got a great report! He now weighs 12 lbs. (Jack weighed 14 lbs. 1 oz. at his 2 month) and he is 23 1/2 inches long (same as Jack at 2 months). He is in the 50th percentile for his weight still and the 75th percentile for his length. She said that he is doing great and was impressed by how alert and focused he was. Unlike Jack who cried for about 10 seconds after getting his shots, Dustin was sobbing! His doctor also said she thinks his eyes are starting to change colors to green probably.

This past weekend we were blessed to have lots of family join us for Dustin's baptism. It was a great time but went too fast! We are still gathering pictures from different people so I will post those from the baptism later but here are some pictures from the weekend.

Little Brother, Big Brother

2008-05-09T15:11:00.007-04:00

These outfits were a gift from Angie! Aren't they so cute?? Of course Jack did not really want to have a photo shoot when everyone was dressed so this is the best I could do. They are 2 pretty cute boys though. Jack is blowing kisses to me in this picture!

Jack watching himself on the video camera

2008-05-02T23:51:00.004-04:00

Here is a video from last night. We had been videoing for awhile and then Brian turned the screen around so Jack could see himself. You will notice that he has some leftovers from his dessert on his upper lip and he is very sweaty from running around the house (which is why he has no clothes on). He is so funny!! You wouldn't believe that earlier in the day we had been at the doctor's office where the pediatrician saw his ears and couldn't believe he had only been fussy the night before! Side note--you can see our new carpet in the background.

Some recent happenings...

2008-05-02T23:10:00.002-04:00

These are some pictures from the past week or so. It has been a crazy few weeks at our house between a slab leak (which meant a sleepover for 2 nights with the Bates :)), jackhammering up our living room and our master closet (dust everywhere), and finally new carpet!! We are so happy to finally be back at home with no workers and clean carpet. We are also excited that Brian has 2 weeks and then he will be finished with his final Spring semester! This first picture demonstrates how Jack follows Brian around and imitates everything he does. Brian was standing with his arms crossed and I looked down and Jack was standing there doing the exact same thing (or trying to)!!

This is Dustin in the bath about a week ago.

This is Dustin in the bath today. He is now 6 1/2 weeks old, notice how his cheeks have filled out.

Here are a couple pictures after his bath, he was so awake and happy! He has started smiling a couple days ago, it is so sweet!
