Mother's Day 2012

 I love being a mom to these kids!  I got to enjoy Gabe's gift for a day before he took it and regifted to his other mom.  Too funny!  I was just glad he included me too:)  I always get so spoiled on Mother's Day.  Marc takes good care of me!

TAE KWON DO

Gabe had the opportunity to participate in a Tae Kwon Do competition.  He ended up earning, a gold, silver, and bronze medal in different categories.  He has really dedicated himself to TKD and has worked really hard.  We were really proud of him.

4-Wheelers, Guns, Parks, Kites, & Cemetaries = Memorial Day Weekend and Lots of Fun!!

 Probably our favorite pass time is exploring the land around Richfield.  This is our second year and we hope to make it a memorial day tradition.

It was the ideal windy day for kite flying while we were down there.

 Grandma Mary bought all the kids kites and I was so impressed to not only get all three up but for each one of them to keep it up for awhile.  They loved it!

My Family has a long standing tradition of visiting grave sites.  It's a great time to remember, reflect, and pay your respects:)  I am definitely grateful to all those who have gone before me.  I am also grateful to still have grandparents in my life.  Love you Nan!

Sweet Ruby and Weston

Weston was being a little grump and I snagged this sweet picture of him and Jess who was the only one he would talk to.

Cute girls!

Father's Day

 I couldn't ask for a better Father for my children.  I am so thankful to have him.  He is the most amazing example to our Children.  He works so hard, never complains, never speaks ill of others, and always makes time for each of us.  Happy Father's Day Marc!

Easter!

 Marc's mom always does such an amazing job for Easter.  And she's willing to put up with this little dude looking like this afterward!  She really is so patient though.

She also puts on the ultimate treasure find.  Instead of the usual egg hunt, she has a list of different things each kid has to find.  She even prints a picture of each one so the kids don't have to know how to read to do it.  They always come back with a huge bucket of things and they love it.

This is the Kohler Easter party down at Nan's house. 

 My Aunt Tracy made these amazing cupcakes.  They were seriously fancier then you could get at any cupcake shop.  You can't have a bad party when you've got these, right?

 The race is on......

 Happy Endings....

 And of course, a visit from the Easter Bunny.

March Randomness and Spring Break

 Isabel is our little climber.  She climbs EVERYTHING!  She even climbs our door frames.  She was the first person in her gymnastics class to make it to the top of the rope.  I'm have to admit, I like having such a tough little girl.

 This dude can fall asleep anywhere, even hanging off a barstool.  Only problem- he won't sleep when we want him to!

I got the piviledge of hanging out with these 2 munchkins for an afternoon... Too cute!

Spring Break

We didn't have a trip for spring break this year but I think we ended up having a blast just doing things close to home.  We were definitely just as tired as we would have been after a vacation.  We started with making the kids favorite desert.  They like to both make and eat fruit pizza.  They had been begging me for a month so they were pretty excited.

Next was hollywood planet.  We had never been there before but with my groupon getting us all in for 20 bucks, I figured we had nothing to lose.  The kids actually had blast and we hit it on a slow day.

 Love these 3!

The next day we headed up to Aunt Stephs house and took advantage of her clubhouse pool.  We are up to 11 grand kids now in the Davis clan and yes, it was quite a job trying to swim with them all!

Boots..

 Hat...

 Must be at Grandma Tina's!

 I got to take Gabe down to Mayfield for the last part of Spring break and we got the grand tour of the infamous Sorenson ranch.  Gabe showed us how to feed the horses, ride the 'cart', and swing!

 The kids had a blast.  Only problem is now they beg to go back every time Gabe does!
