Rodeo/Santa/Dawson Getting Big!

Most nights are not too boring at our house.  We either have a rodeo going on, a hunting expedition, or some sort of  ball game.  Tonight Brennen's mom and brothers came to visit and we had a rodeo.  Davin gets so into it, he is a die hard. 





I love the way Davin is standing.  He's patiently waiting and taking it all in.





Davin learned from the best. Ha, he's such a kid at heart.

I think Dawson will be crawling soon.  TO SOON! I can't believe it,
how did this happen so fast.  He absolutely loves for you to hold
his hands and let him walk and run all over.  I thought he'd walk before
he crawled but it doesn't look like it anymore.  It's funny when he is trying
so hard, he pushes himself up into stink bug position.  He's growing up
so fast.  He has been saying mama for quite awhile now and within the last
few days he's been saying dada.  So cute.

Dawson's first visit with Santa.

 



We took the kids to see Santa today.  Davin has been wanting this gun from Alco.  Everytime we go in there he runs straight for and just sits and adores it.  I told him he'll have to tell Santa he wants it.  So, we've talked about it quite a bit and what he was going to tell Santa.  I thought he was prepared and ready, I was wrong.  The whole way down the road he was telling us he was going to tell Santa he wants a 'western gun'.  He needs to shoot all the cats in the neighborhood.  We walked through the doors, he took one look at Santa and said, "I'm ain't going to sit on HIS lap!"  We couldn't talk him into it either.  I guess we'll have to write a letter.  I'm so excited for Christmas this year.  Davin is at such a fun age.  He gets it a little better and will be so excited to see his gifts.  I'll be introducing an elf that will be living with for a month next week..I.Can't.Wait! I hope Davin gets into it as much as I anticipate he will!  We're close to being done with decor and shopping.  I plan to sit back and take it all in a little more this year. Yea right, I know.  We're hoping Grandpa Troy will be home by Christmas, keeping our fingers crossed! That would make it complete! I hope everyone enjoys the Holidays, "It's the most wonderful time of the year!"

Davin Preschool/Daws 6-7Months

Here are a few of Dav's preschool projects.  He likes preschool and so far they say he's doing pretty good.  I was a little scared for his teachers but so far not too bad.  They've seen his stubborn side and it is a strong one! He loves to come home and do his homework and tell us about the things he made.

 Dawson is now 7 months old.  I can't believe it.  He is so much fun and getting such a cute personality here are a few facts about him:
At six months: Weight:17.5
                      Height: 27 3/4
                      Head:   17 1/7
He drinks 4-5 7 oz. bottles a day, a bowl of cereal with fruit in the morning, a fruit and veggie for lunch, and a veggie and oatmeal for dinner.  He is a pig!  He loves all food and if anyone is eating anything, he will watch the spoon/fork from the plate all the way into your mouth while salivating. 
He sleeps all night.  When he gets tired we can usually take him in there, lay him down, and he'll go to sleep.
He is a little spoiled. . . ok, alot! He likes to be held and talked to.  If he's sitting down and you walk by, he usually lets out a squeal.  If you don't respond within a few squeals, he'll turn it to a scream.
He loves Dav.  No matter how rough or hard Dav plays with him, he still adores him.  He gets all excited and kicks his feet until Davin comes to talk to him.
He has been sitting up for about a month and a half.  He gets where ever he needs to go on his back.  He arches his back and scoots all over the place.  He's getting to the point when he's sitting up, he'll lean forward and go on all fours for a second.  I'm afraid he'll be crawling soon...sad.
He is super ticklish.
He loves to sit up in the bath and put his hands under the running water. 
We sure do love him! There is a reason he is spoiled, no one can leave him alone when their around becuase he's so much fun to play with!

Halloween 2011

Well, I am a little disappointed at the pics we got, or didn't get, this year.  A wild 3 year old and a don't want anything around my head 6 month old didn't make it too easy.  Dav was a rodeo clown.  I was inspired when he did his little runway for me the day he found my rainbow socks.  It was pretty simple and I used alot of clothes we already had.  Dawson was an adorable little monkey.  My good friend Natalie let me borrow a costume she had for her boys.  His chubby cheeks totally fulfilled the role.  Here are some pics of Dav on the day his preschool dressed up.  I had to work so Brennen got him ready.  He said he was kind of being a little bugger at first, imagine that, but after his friend offered his cowboy gun to him he was in business.  Gun, why didn't I think of that? Duh, a rodeo clown always neeeds a gun!  They took them down main street and trick-or-treated.  As the pictures shows, he didn't want anything to do with a group picture. 

 Halloween: He was so tired he didn't really even want to go trick-or-treating.  I thought we were going to be in for it.  He has his father's blood...little sleep=BEAR!

 He didn't want candy at trunk or treat, he just walked on by.  I was perfectly fine with that.  He doesn't need sugar to keep him going.

I wanted to get pics of them together but that didn't happen.  Brennen decided to stay over to the trunk or treat and ramble on about the deer hunt, which btw is OVER, ThaNk HeaVens, while I took Dav to my mom's to feed him.  But the time Dav got there he was D.O.N.E. with his costume and so was Dawson.  So, we don't have any cute pics of them together.  So yet another holiday I come out disgusted with our picture production!
