A whole week of Haloween

The week of Haloween was full of fun festivities. It started out the week before at a costume party at our great friends the Zitos. I swiped these from her fabulous blog...(check it out the side bar for all the fun details)
Doug and I went as a Redneck couple...we bought a few wigs, and went to Goodwill and Doug's closet for out amazing attire. We had a great night of food games a ton of laughs....(and a few of my classy nose snorts)




The whole crew!




Our groovy hosts...Loree knows how to throw a party!




We then went Mother Natures farm for FHE on Monday. We have been 2 years in a row now and I think this will be our fall family tradition. The girls love the hay ride and feeding the animals. And of course choosing a pumpkin.











If any of you have met my mother you know that she is crafty queen! She helped me make hand sew these outfits for the babies...I think this is the last year I can tell the girls what I want them to be for Haloween. Don't they all just look great?
We took some pictures in the garage on Saturday and walked up and down our street and then passed out candy to the neighbors. What a fun and festive busy week eh?

Cute Jammies, my singing, apple pie and getting stuck....snapshots of our week

Please excuse the lack of creativity with the title.....Too bad these yellow jammies are too small...I just love how cute they look in them.



Morningtime cuteness....


While playing the piano one day....grant scooched(is that even a word) his way back and was under the couch. But before getting him I had to snap a picture....mean mom huh!



This is what the girls were doing while I was singing and playing piano for the boys the other day.....lovely. Who knew I was that bad?


Cute creative friends....this is their "Apple pie" that they made the other day....we love being outside. They are so cute and fun these days....After much crying one day, O exclaimed...."Mom I am having a rough day!"
And then just a few days ago, Audree was playing with a friend in Nursery. Afterwards Olivia told me..."Mom I don't want Audree to play with (so & so) she is my sissy and I love her. I want her to be my friend forever." I hope this isn't a precursor of what's to come...

10 Year Reunion....Thatcher High

This past weekend was spent in Thatcher once again for our 10 year H.S. reunion. Most of you probably know that my sweet hubsters and I were H.S. Sweethearts. We dated for 2 years, we were each other's first kisses, and most of my H.S. memories include him.
Leading up to the reunion there was alot of reminiscing and remembering the good old days. We grew up in a tiny farming town with only like 97 people in our graduating class. We were all pretty close so seeing everyone again was a blast from the past!
It was a little weird though....in the beginning everyone stood by who they were comfortable with....it felt a little like Jr High....but we have all changed and had some life experiances along the way.
We spent the first night at the Homecoming game where we beat Pima(a neighboring rival town) I stood the whole night and just chatted away...I must admit I didn't watch the game once!
The next day was spent at the park with the kids for lunch and then a dinner and slideshow that evening. I haven't laughed that hard in a while....we went to school with some crazy funny people...and it's amazing how having 4 kids will make all of your memories just fade away....seriously I am getting old!!!


The gang that was there...don't you love the girls on one side and boys on the other...except for Doug....ha! I made him stand by me!


Me and my Dougie doozer...he is seriously just as sweet now as he was back then!


The girls at the park....they had a blast!


Sweet friends at the park...


Some of my favorite people...the girls on the top right all have LEAH in their names...Shealea, Taleah, and me.....funny!

The BEST invention EVER!!!!!

Last winter when I was preggo with the boys the girls would sleep in until 8 am....it was a dream!! This fall has been a different story. For the past few months we have had little girls at our bedside at all hours of the night...and most recently little Audree waking up at 5:00 amd not going back to bed...needless to say it was VERY frustrating.
I heard about this product and after 3 mornings of 5:00 am wake up's I bought it.
And can I just say it was worth every penny!! The night light has an internal alarm that changes the moon into a sun at whatever time you set it for. We set ours for 7:00 a resonable time for a 3 year old....and WAH-LAH! It works....even if they wake up before that they stay in their rooms waiting for the sun to come out....ahhh...sweet sleep!
We are rested and happy here at the Davis house...thanks so a little night light!!

Graham County Fair weekend & The boys turned 7 months old

Doug went hunting with his brother and nephew this weekend, so we headed off to Thatcher to spend time with Grandma. The weather was amazing and we were outside most of the day. Doug's nephew shot his deer the first day so he came right back to us. We headed off to the fair with the kiddos. Small town fairs are fun! Although quite germie(is that even a word?) The girls got a cold and cough while we were there...We loved looking at all the animals and riding the rides. What a fun time!

Their favorite ride was the ferris wheel...


Here are some other highlights...



The girls found some dandilions in the front yard and had a great time blowing them....look at A's concentration!


Grandma loves her babies...she also helped me make the cutest Haloween costumes...we are all matching this year...think chocolate.


The boys turned 7 months while we were there...he they all scrubby looking in my mom's backyard. Don't you love the creamy background?






The next day I dressed them up in their little man shirts and took some more pics....the clouds were out so the pictures aren't as bright.




My handsome boys!

New tricks....

Getting their hands into everything....they want cell phones, the remote, or whatever food you might have. In this case if was Papa' beard....it feels cool!




Clark has learned to do a push up. He get pretty frustrated that he can't get to where he wants....all in good time little dude...








And sitting up in the sink for a bath....rub a dub dub! And just cause it's too fun...here is another comparision....can you guess who's who?

Cooler Weather+Happy kids= Happy Mommy!

This is why we love Arizona! We have been loving playing outside in the mornings and evenings each day. Sure the heat brings us moolah, but cooler weather brings a daddy home to us! I want to enjoy everyday outside now until April when it gets hot again!




Here we are enjoying a coolish evening. We have the bruvers in their swings and the kids on theirs! Ah...I love having a backyard.





It's like the girls have got cabin fever staying inside all summer long. It is just to overwhelmed for me to take all 4 kids somewhere so letting them get some energy out every night is perfect! They are so much happier when we get to go outside...




Our cutie Mr. Colin was up for a visit....we that cute, crazy dancing boy!

They Understand....

I have been blessed with many great friends. Some of these friends are in the same unique situtation that I am it. It's amazing how I knew 2 of these gals before I was even married and became reaquatined with them after I had children. Heavenly Father has blessed me to have these sweet gals in my life. We all have mutiples under the age of 3....and 16 children between us.....CRAZY! We all gathered at my house last week for chatting, bow making, pregnancy and birth stories, and wonderful company.

Most of want to have just one someday....just to see how it could be....we will see what the future holds. Until then I know that I could call on any of these gals and vent or rejoice and they would understand...
Thanks sweet friends....I can't wait until the next get together!!

Flashback Friday

I just came across this picture the other day. The girls were 6 months old and we were visiting my cousin in Vegas. I thought...wow that looks alot like the boys...what do you think?



And a fun comparison....here are the girls at 6 months...

How lucky am I?
