Minding Our Own Business

So, we are posting one of those "videos", the ones that only family will probably laugh at but this was too good to pass up. Davis is having a hard time pronouncing his "R's". This video is the set up. The next video is the one I will show his girlfriends later in life.

A Little Snip-it of "Britches"

We swear he is saying "Britches".

RUN MOMMY. RUN!

Mommy ran the half marathon in Houston this weekend. And lived to tell about it. It was her first one. I think it was harder for us to cheer her on than for her to run. Logistics are tough.

We are waiting for Buddy's pics. Sue Sue had our camera but got a little excited when we saw Mommy and couldn't get a good picture! We waited and saw Mommy around mile 7 and then saw her at the end of the run. This was mile 7. We gave her Goo and Gum. She was happy.

A little cowbell action for the marathon and half marathon runners.

All that cheering was very tiring. Davis had to crash out at the finish line. You can't see it but Davis has some scrapes down the front of his face. He fell off a basketball he was sitting on and looks pretty tough now.

Here are Mommy and Miss Rhonda after the race. They were so happy to be finished. But we think they had a great time. Good job Mommy.

Happy Birthday Daddy

Luke and Mimi hosted another great party. This time for Daddy. He turned 34. Luke and I helped him blow out his candles.

The ocean cake and birthday set up. They had all of the bases covered. Though, Daddy and I had to make a few homemade party hats. They turned out pretty good too.

Daddy got some good loot. Wii games and Blue Ray movies. Luke, Mommy and I got him a basketball goal (that we call a basketball court) and enrolled him in a fishing rod building class. Can't wait to see how that goes.

After yummy chicken and dumplings and the ocean chocolate cake Daddy pulled out the Ipod and we had a dance party. Luke was showing off his "booty" dancing that he claims he learned from Alvin and the Chipmunks.

I tried a little break dancing myself. All the cousins were dancing and Mimi too. Fun night. Happy, Happy Birthday Daddy.

Luke - 42 Months

This about sums me up lately! I'm all over the place. Here I am beating my tackling dummy to smitherines. Seriously, that dude lasted one day. I bought him with my own money too. I'm pretty aggressive. Trying to find an outlet is not always this easy. I am pushing the limits with the names I call people. PickleHead and Pocketfull of Mushrooms are two of my favorites. I have a keen sense of direction and even told Daddy when we were close to my doc's office all the way into Houston. I love riding my bike and playing outside. Because it has been so rainy I haven't had so much time to do it. That makes it more special. I'm getting so tall (and skinny). I have been sleeping so well lately. I hardly wake up before 7 anymore. Mom and Dad have been waiting a long time for that! I can get my own food, water, and clothes. I actually like dressing myself, especially if I get to wear a tie or my cowboy boots or soccer cleats. I'm keenly aware of the things adults talk about (whether they like it or not). I LOVE Phineas & Ferb marathons (that seem to be on every single day). Mom even got me a P&F shirt. I love it. I've been making a list of toys I want for my birthday while at the same time playing with all my Christmas toys. Looking forward to warm weather and Nash's arrival. See ya soon!

Davis: 20 Months

Happy New Year!

I am sad to see the holiday season slip away. I still love belting out a Christmas Carol or two. Especially the song from Luke's holiday program "Happy Birthday Jesus." Now that is a song! Enjoy my picture above because lately I haven't looked so clean. I have a drippy nose and drooling mouth. All 4 of my incisors are coming in at the same time. Luckily that will fill the holes in my mouth but otherwise it is a mess. Not to mention sometimes, even when I am drooling I have a runny nose and croupy cough. What gives? It has been about 2.5 months of this nonsense. I'm tired of being snotty. I'm starting to sleep longer in my own bed. If I do happen to make it into mommy and daddy's bed before the night is over then I take it over. Mommy almost fell out of the bed the other night after I gave her a swift kick in the neck and guts. I teeter between wanting to be big and liking being a baby. I let you know what mood I am in by saying "I big boy" or "I baby!" I'm really starting to play with Luke and can help him do some of his constant activities. This leads to a little more violence between us than it used to but Mom and Dad think that is only going to get worse. I am still in my Daddy phase and really only snuggle up to him. I saw my first movie this month, "Alvin and the Chipmunks, the Squeakel". I slept for the first hour and enjoyed the last 40 minutes. I was pretty good. Luke and I even danced for part of it. I love to throw my elbow up and get a few moves in. This trip gives Mommy hope that we can see more movies in our future. We are back to school and I am so happy to have some time away from Luke. I really like those few hours every week. I am saying lots and lots of sentences. Sometimes I blow mommy and daddy away with what I say. Just today I told Daddy that I missed him when he was out of town. I have even picked up some slang. So don't be alarmed if I call you "Pickle head" or "pickle face". Archie and I have been playing together a lot since it has been so cold. That dog is something else. He has no boundaries. I waiver between love and hate with him, mainly depending on how mommy feels about him that minute (and it clearly can change every mintue with Archie). Well, enough from me. Hope you are all having a wonderful start to the new year. Talk soon,

Davis
