Here we go again. Soon we will be caught up.

This summer there was a lot of dirt everywhere. Were excited when we finally got our grass in. But the kids preferred the dirt. Ya know, because it is dirty. Why did we get grass? The kids even pulled the sleds out to slide on the dirt. I thought it was funny. But there is plenty of time to do that in the winter, let's ride bikes or something.





Everyone knows that Luke is a smart kid. He always has been. He loves to learn and I love watching him. He is constantly surprising me. He is always a cute kid. But he does have a mind of his own and when you go against that there is a battle. But if you ignore him he calms down if you try and fix it gets worse. Funny little guy


Cole is always hungry. "Mom I'm stravin," he says. Like he knows what starving feels like. The kid never goes on hour without a snack or a meal. He cracks me up. Here he is enjoying his snack for the morning since it is 9am and he has been up since 8.

Sunday stations. We love Sunday stations and on this day we were did them outside. The kids love them. Church starts at 1 so until then we do little activities. Sometimes they are church related and sometimes they are not. But...the kids love them and they help the day move along with less contention.

The ice cream truck came to the right neighborhood. The boys didn't know what it was the first time they heard the music. But it only took once to catch on. I never had an ice cream truck when I was a kid. Travis has fond memories of the kids scattering as soon as they heard the music playing. I am glad that we have one for our kids. The truck is from Utah, so they must make plenty of money if they can drive all the way up to Evanston and back and still make money off of the kids. Our little dudes have to stick to the dollar menu when he comes by. They don't seem to mind though.


Uncle Ben came up to play in the VanDerVeur open, which, by the way, is another topic for another day. The guys had fun playing gold and the boys and mom stayed home. Uncle Ben did come visit us though and we were happy for that. He took the boys for ice cream and wrestled with them. We love Ben he is a good guy we wish he would find a special someone to settle down with. We hope he comes back next year to stay.
Aunty Tricia came from Hawaii to hang out. We loved having her. She left the kids and J dog back at home. We all love it when our family comes up to stay. Troy, Kellee and Teagan also came up to have dinner. Teagan is the cutest little guy. The boys love him.

There was a family wedding. The boys and I drove down to see Katie get married. She looked beautiful.


We were the only family that Uncle Ron had there. Uncle Ron is a good man and we loved seeing them all.

We went to one wedding only to find out that there was another one in 2 months. Finally! Mr. right has come and we couldn't be happier. Love to all the Davis family and their additions. Carly and more grand kids are next.
