Baby Renesme

Sadie's top teeth grew in kinda funky, so I had to document it before her middle top teeth grew in. Which by the way, her top right middle just broke through the gums the day I took these, but you can't really see it yet.

And doesn't this remind you if that old ad for the army or something like that? 

Basically, this is what we do for fun!

Jacobs Birthday Party

Way back in January Jacob had a birthday party playdate at the park. The boys had so much fun playing with their cousin Jacob. Jacob ran non-stop the whole time I think! Such a fun day.

The Many Sides of Sadie at Seven Months

It's been way too long since I have updated about my kids... So here's what's new with Sadie:

 She has the BIGGEST, blue-est, sparkliest, eyes. And amazing dimples in both cheeks.

 She is so stinking happy! She loves to cuddle and give lovies to mommy!

 She actually keeps her headbands on most of the time. (Probably because I MAKE her). She is a chunky monkey! She's over 18 pounds, and in the 75% for  height and weight, while her head is in the 20%! I'm pretty sure that if they counted her cheeks in that measurement, her head would be in the 90%!

 She has rolls galore! I LOVE her chubby legs. So soft and squishy! She's still mostly nursing, I try to give her baby food every day but she still doesn't like it, and only takes a few bites. She ate the sweet potatoes and butternut squash the best so far.... She doesn't like the sweet stuff. Hopefully she will keep up that habbit!

 She usually sleeps through the night. Maybe once a week she gets up in the night, and I just give in and get her. Ya, I know, that's bad....whatever!


She has four teeth! Two on the bottom, and two on the top sides, not the canines but not the middle ones either, just in between those. And the top middle ones are coming soon.



She loves to get around. This is her favorite pose.... The splits! She almost always sits like this around the house when she's playing. Do I see dancing in her future???




She puts EVERYTHING in her mouth right now. She wants to try everything I'm holding and she has eaten several paper scraps on the floor. I try to keep it vacuumed but she still manages to get stuff here and there!



Oh ya, and did I mention that she is officially crawling? Ya, she's all over the place. She also loves to lay on her back and play with her feet. She just started babbling and saying "a blab blab bla blah blah" and "maaa maaa maaaa maaaa". She's adorable and we love her soooooo stinking much!

Merry Christmas!

Christmas was wonderful this year, as always. We were in San Diego with Brian's family and had such a great time being with them.... I was asked this year while we were out there if I miss being with my family around Christmas, and I honestly answered that I miss the Davis family when they're not around, and that they're my family too. I am so grateful for in-laws that love me and treat me like their own and who love and adore my kids. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa San Diego, Uncle Jordan, Aunt Meaghen, and Uncle Jimmy for making this year a truly special one!

Here are some pictures I have been meaning to post for a while! Here we go:

                                    Grover Family Thanksgiving Day

Before it got too cold outside, I took this picture of the boys.

Santa made a special visit to the Davis home, just to see these 3 kids..... The pictures tell how the visit went... 

Logan, not so sure of Santa. Wouldn't go near him, just stared.

I think this series was my favorite part of the whole night! That look is PRICELESS!

 Christmas day, at the park.

 My gorgeous sister-in-law, Meaghen.

My ridiculous children, who won't smile when we want them to!

 Davis Family, minus the Downs clan and a few pets. (Sorry Rhonda, this picture was super noisy/blurry. It was too dark when I took it, so it didn't come out very good.)

                                     Grandma helping Logan on his new big boy bike!

                                        Us, at Mission Bay the day after Christmas.

I hope you had a great Christmas and new year!

FHE

This is what we did for family Home Evening last week. We made Christmas cards. The boys LOVED every minute of it, until Jaxon was too tired and wouldn't stop crying. They especially loved glueing the stuff onto the card. Jaxon liked just spreading the glue all around! It was a fun evening.

Family Pictures

We just got some family pictures done, from my amazingly talented sister-in-law Emily. She is a an awesome photographer, and I am so thankful for her talents! Check out our pictures on Emily's Blog And if you want her to take yours, email her for info! Thanks Em, you're the best!

Vertuccio Farms

 Did I mention that I started a little preschool for Logan? I have been wanting to do a joy school type of thing for a while and I was looking online for curriculum. So I talked to a few friends in my ward who also have kids that wanted to do joy school and we all got together, discussed the curriculum and started it! We kind of use the curriculum from letteroftheweek.com, but add lots of things. We mostly just do a letter, number, shape, color, story, vocabulary word, and theme of the week. Each mom teaches one week out of the month and we just rotate. I LOVE it! It has been awesome for Logan. Sometimes Jaxon goes too. So, we try to take a monthly field trip for the kids, and the week of Halloween, our preschool took a field trip to Vertuccio Farms. We had lots of fun! Here's what we did!

We ran through a hay maze. Logan and Jaxon didn't make it to the middle but the girls did, because unlike the boys, they listened to their mom's directions..... So typical.

We played on a big teeter-totter! The moms had to help out.

We looked at some chickens, turkeys, pigs, and a big brown cow that wouldn't stop mooing. Oh ya, and a donkey that bit my jacket straps! Ya, it freaked me out.

We posed for a mug shot.

We milked a fake cow.



That was hard work!



Jaxon opted out of the whole milking process, so just held onto the cows tail instead.

We rode a cow train pulled by a tractor!



 

And Sadie looked cute the whole time!

 

Then we ate lunch and came home for naps!

The End.
