Positive Princess

Tes was so happy after her bath the other night and she likes to say, "Ya!" to any question we ask her. Take a look and see what a positive little girl we have. ;)

July in a Nutshell

This was too cute, I had to post it. We went to Lindsey Fillmore's Wedding Reception last night, which I still can't believe I'm saying that. Sarah's little sister can't be old enough to get married right?!!! So I failed to get a pic of the actual gorgeous couple but managed to get one of the future gorgeous couple. Here's Carson with Bella, Sarah's 2nd girl. They were both being so bashful it was adorable! Before we knew it Carson was dancing in a circle with probably 5 more of the darling Fillmore girls. Too cute for words is all I have to say about that.
Tes and Daddy. We had a fun 24th this year. We went to the Ogden Parade with Harm and Josh and then went swimming afterwards at the Whitesides. Good times indeed!
Carson and Mama.
Josh, Harm, and Cannon at the Pioneer Day Parade in O-town. Thanks for coming with us guys, we had a great time!
Here we are celebrating Tim's birthday. Tim does not particularly like cake so we made him birthday lemon bars instead. Happy Birthday Honey! We love you!
We started off July by heading up to Oregon and spending time with the whole Davis clan. Here we are hiking Punchbowl Falls. It was a blast! I uploaded more pics on FB if you want to see more. :)

Tessa's 1 Year Pics...a little late.

I know I'm a little late getting these posted. I don't know how I forgot to post them, oh well. So here is Tessa during her 1 year photoshoot with Tina. We were lucky to get some good smiles out of her this session. I can't believe my little girl is now almost 15 months old! We love you Baby Cupcake!

Summer Time Already?

First time out to Lagoon A Beach! Hello Summer!
Darth Carson here. Carson loves Star Wars right now. He'll walk around with a towel over his head, carrying his light saber pretending to be Darth Vader or Aniken, depending on the day. Some days he's even a battle droid with his backpack on carrying his water gun.
Tessa enjoying her little pool. I didn't think she'd like the cold water from the hose, but she didn't seem to mind it at all. She just laughed and splashed away.

Carson's Preschool Graduation

My baby's all grown up and graduated from his first year of Preschool. It was a cute little ceremony. Each of the kids recited a different poem that they had learned throughout the year. I was impressed! Thank you Miss Darcy for a wonderful year!

Tessa Cupcake turns 1!

Getting ready to blow out the candle on her darling, giant, cupcake cake that Auntie Tif so beautifully decorated!
Starting to dig into her other giant cupcake cake...yummy!
Going to town on that frosting.
Tes started off really happy about the whole thing, but she changed her mind quickly after this picture and decided that she wanted this greasy stuff off her hands. I tried getting rid of her red eyes on photoshop, but the version I have is different from the one from my class so I haven't had much luck yet. I will have to ask the teacher about it in my next class.
All clean and enjoying her new slide. Happy Birthday to my Tessa Cupcake! We're so happy you're a part of our family! We love you!

Happy Easter to all!

At Grandma Lanie's. I made the kids dress up so I could get a few pics of them together. Rude I know, I mean it's conference weekend isn't that also known as PJ weekend? No worries, we did bring a change of clothes.
After church last week. Carson loves to wear ties now...anything to be like his Daddy.
Tes after church last week. Her first ponytail, my baby's growing up...in age at least, still not in size!

Tes' 9 Month Pictures

Look Who's Crawling!

Davis Family Photo

It had been a while since the Davis Family had pictures done...6 1/2 years to be exact so we thought it was time to get them taken. The last picture that was done was before Josh, Carson, Tessa, and Cannon entered into the family. We (the kids) decided that while everyone was together this Christmas, we'd get them done as a present for Mom and Dad. By the end of it all, Carson and Tessa had had enough so we didn't get any of just them, but that's alright, the rest turned out cute. We had our friend April Stettler take them and she did a great job! Here is a collage of our favorite shots...

Holiday Highlights...a little late I know.

Happy New Years! We spent New Years Eve with our old Syracuse clan. It's been a fun tradition these past 5 years or so now. Thanks guys for the memories.
Our Christmas Party with Tim's family. Tif created our lovely, cheesy holiday sweaters that we had to wear. Nice work Tif! It made for a great night full of laughs.
My siblings and I. We had a great time with my whole family in town this year. It doesn't happen very often with all of us spread throughout the U.S., so we cherish the moments we do have.

My sweet kiddos. Carson absolutely LOVED having everyone here. Tes on the other hand was even more attached to my hip, if that's possible. She loved the attention and would smile at everyone...as long as Mommy was holding her.

Christmas Attire

It wouldn't be Christmas without the kids in coordinating outfits!

Happy 4th Birthday Carson!

Carson with his Train cake.Carson, the Train Conductor.Mama, the Train Conductor with her kiddos.Carson & Daddy. We had Carson's friend birthday party this past weekend. It was my first official friend party so I was a little stressed out getting it all put together, but all in all it turned out really well. The kids seemed to enjoy themselves. We made tickets for the invitations and then we played some train related games. The kids also got to paint their own train cars that were initially hidden throughout the family room. This part I was nervous about, but the funny thing is, all of the kids were actually really careful with the paint. Most didn't even want to get it on their hands. Happy official Birthday tomorrow Buddy, we love you!

Sweet Moments

We have yet to conquer the rolling over, but look who's sitting up! I can't believe she's 6 months old already. She's now a whopping 12 lbs. 14 oz. and 25 inches tall. My little peanut.Carson's been such a helper boy lately it's great! Here's a quick shot of him helping me with the dishes. I sure love my kiddos!

Halloween Highlights

Trick or Treating at Tim's office. Tim's whole office dressed up as the Star Trek crew...nerd alert! :) Tim was Dr. Bones Mccoy, Carson an Astronaut, Tes a Ladybug, and I am a Cat. Not really a family theme at all, but we still had fun!
My not so little Astronaut. This boy continues to get taller by the minute.

Pumpkin Patch & Carving Pumpkins

Carson sat in the wagon and tipped backwards. We thought he was going to start crying, but we started laughing and then he joined in. He loves the pumpkin patch. (BTW, the time stamp on my camera is wrong...apparantly).
Tes all bundled up in her coat, just a little big on her at the moment wouldn't you say?
Tes hanging out being sweet.
Carson's not messing around, he's laying on a pillow watching Daddy do all the work. Daddy carved a Thomas the train design for him. I'll post the finished products soon.

Where has this month gone?!

My baby girl is 5 months old already!

Instead of doing a Halloween party this year, our ward did a Fall Festival. They had the same carnival activities as before only square dancing and no costumes were new to this years party. This is a video of Carson and Sabrina (her Mom is the one who's house he goes to Preschool) workin' the dance floor.

Preschool Time!

Countdown to preschool.First day of Preschool. He was so excited to go! My baby is all grown up.Carson with his good friend, Porter. So when I went go pick Carson up from his first day, he barely even looked at me and then he proceded to walk right by me and get in the car with Porter. I had even made the extra effort to walk there to pick him up. I had Tes in the bjorn and then pushed an empty stroller to and from his preschool. I guess it's not cool to talk to Mom anymore. His friends are more important I guess. :)
