What do you think?

My friends have some BEAUTIFUL children!

These are some good friends from college/high school. When we get together it is like no time has passed. We can all talk so easliy and freely. We have such a great time together...too bad our kiddos got fussy and it was nap time! We met at Kerrie's house and I brought the camera. Seriously...all of their children are just so beautiful...but just look at their mommies...:) Thanks for a fun day girls...can't wait to see your blog Lottie;)

That's right....2 big girls and loving life!! Here are the girls on their 2nd b-day. Doug had the morning off and we took the girls to the mall and to Chik-fa-lay. They have the best clean play place there.

They can't quite hold up 2 fingers on one hand


I love how Olivia's mouth is saying two!!










We had such a fun weekend. On Friday we went with our friends Jessica and Dave to see "Camelot" at gammage. I so wish I had season passes. Then on Saturday I went and saw "Hairspray!!" at the Orpheum with my sis-in-law and mother-in-law. I wish I had a picture of us....we had such a great time dancing to the music. To bad theater people have to throw yucky stuff in there!

HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY AUDREE & OLIVIA!!!!

I got a little teary eyed this evening talking to the girls about what they wanted to do tommarow. Wow....that went by quick! Their birth seems so fresh in my mind still. The girls turn 2 tommarow and we had a little get together on Sunday with family and good friends. We had these amazing cupcakes frosted by me and my friend Alicia(yoga girl with A from previous post) She had all of these tips to frost with so we had a great time.


Next I made some yummy Oreo balls. Cream cheese, chocolate and oreo...yummo!


Here is my attempt at a picture of the girls before it started....yep they definatly 2!! Ha!


Here they are blowing out the candles before we even finished the song.


This year we sang to both girls individually. They loved having their name said...here we are singing to Livvy.


And singing to Audree...she was so proud...isn't she adorable!!!??


Here sissy....O is such a big helper!


Lots of kids to open presents...it was a little choatic and we had a few to many presents...some I didn't give them on Christmas so they could have them for their b-day. And you now what the favorite toy is?? A $5.00 child broom....of course!


Here is everyone there...thanks for indulging the photographer! And thanks so much for supporting and loving my girls!!


I LOVE YOU OLIVIA! I LOVE YOU AUDREE!

Anyone know how to get rid of these?

It's time....they will be 2 next week and they are crying for them throughout the day when they get sad. We only use them at bed/nap times and in the car.
Should we go somewhere and throw them in the trash....should we give them to a baby? Help!!! All you mothers who have done this before please tell me what worked for you!!

New Year

It's a new year and we are gearing up for so many things! I just uploaded my blog to www.blurb.com and am editding the pages so that my blog can be turned into a book. I kept saying that's why I kept up on it....and now I am! Whoo-hoo! I can't wait to get it! I just printed a book from our Cruise this last August too. It's neat to have it all together.

I am looking forward to learning and growing more in Photography. I will be doing about 4 sessions a month...so let me know if you want some pictures! I also love getting ready for camp...so many neat experiances!

I just love watching my girls grow...they are changing so much and making us smile...Sweet O keeps saying things like "Dad you be careful Okay?"(As he is taking down Christmas lights) And "Oh there you are!"
A is sweet to her friends and cousins...she loves having Agigail, Hyrum and Collin over. She talks to sweetly to baby Collin and loves running and playing duck duck goose with Hyrum. I have a feeling she is going to be a tom-boy;)

Of course we want to get in shape and all that...so we started weight watchers. And since I am not getting prego for a while(new calling) I have NO Excuses!
Dougie will be starting his business this year....we are excited for that!

Here we are on New Years Day. At Freestone park riding the train really expensive($3 a person)...but still a good time!


Here is our Livvy with Doug's co-worker and scout partner Eric. The girls Love Eric and Alicia...they are such good friends!


Here is Audree doing Yoga with Alicia. She is really good at it too...she holds to poses and everything!

"Santa come to our house mom?"

This is what O said on Christmas eve. They were excited to get their new bikes and spoiled with so many other great girl gifts. Play food, new dolls, purses and other things they love. We saved a few gifts for their b-day in a few weeks. We had a great time with family and got to talk to my missionary brother Chris. Dougie and were both sick...he had a sotmach virus, and was in bed with the fever and chills. I had a bad head cold....yuck...we still were grateful to be together though.
It's fun to think about another year coming around. Lots of exciting things to look foward to and work on.

New matching outfits:)


A new purse filled with everything....braclets, keys, makeup, comb, mirror

Merry Christmas 2007

Whoo Hoo! It's almost here! Off to Thatcher tommorow! Here is our super cute card, Pictures done by good friend Jessica and card help from Doug Tueller. We are so excited to have a little break and be with family. I hope everyone has a special holiday season!


And for fun...here are my sweeties! In a cute new Clearance shirt! Yay...we went and checked out this new spot in Gilbert called Agritopia. A home subdivision that is very picture-esque(sp). A cute new find here in the valley of boring desert landscaping. They were semi-cooperative and so super cute as always.

Oh and just because this is also my little journal I have to tell you what O did. Aunt Allison was here nursing her newborn and the next day O lifted up her shirt and started to feed the teddy. She said teddy hungry...I thought it was sweet. Coming from a mother who nursed a year it warms my heart.
Just had to share...enjoy these pictures.

Tamale Day...cooking with my sisters

For the past few years, the Davis women have got together and made the most amazing tamales. They share with us, but this year Christi ( my sis-in law) and I decided to leave the kids and go down and help! My sweet Sister Amanda watched them in the morning and Dougie got off work in the afternoon. It was a quick trip to Thatcher and back, but we had so much fun! My sweet MIL had prepared all of the ingredients and we just rolled and cooked for 10 hours straight. We made over 80 dozen!!! WOWZER! I got to take home 10 dozen red and green chili corn, and also some elk meat ones with Doug's elk meat. I can't wait for next year....it's going to be a fun tradition~





And just for fun....here are the girls before the ward Christmas Party the other night....I wonder how I got so lucky! I love watching them play together...they are so helpful and kind(most of the time) We watched my little nephew Collin the other day and sweet Audree asked him..."What's wrong Cowin?" Livvy helped me feed him his bottle and burp him....It will be fun to have another one someday!
Dougie hunting again this weekend. It's fun to have girl time but I miss him a little. I'm so blessed to have him in my life. I love him so much....Sigh:)

New family pics

Here are the some that aren't on our Christmas cards. They are growing on me the more I look at them. My girls sure were being onry that day and would not look at me or my friend to save their lives. I think they are about ready to be bribed....next time for sure! It's nice to have some current family pictures...my friend Jessica took these for me...thanks so much Jess!
