SuMmErTimE!!

The summer flew by sooo fast!! I am so sad it is over and I am already back in school. I am so behind in posting but here are a few fun pictures from the summer. Here are some highlights from our summer:
*Our co-ed team won the championship for the Beaver league and we also won the Championship in Milford at the Grass Stain Tournament.
*Brennen's mens league team won the championship for their league.
*Brennen played in the heat stroker tournament in St. George. They play all through the night so I left Davin(for the first time overnight :( and went down. It was alot of fun and they actually won more games than usual.
*Davin has started talking soo much!! Some of his new words are: Hoyse(horse), bas(bath), Dayn(Davin), one, waer(water), Ry Ry (uncle rylan), peeze(please), run, go, and so so many more! I love it! It is so darn cute! A few of his famous actions are: he can tell you how old he is, he can tell you the noises of alot of animals, I say mark set go and he takes off running with one arm swinging like crazy, he gets a bat and taps a ball then throws the bat and runs in a circle, he gallops all over like a horse, he drives his trucks every where making the engine noise, he blows the cutest kisses, ect. He is at such a fun (and hard) age. I wish I could freeze him doing all of these cute little things!
*Davin became ObSeSSeD with horses! The second we walk into either grandma's houses he immediately says 'hoyse' so someone will take him out back to see the horse.
*We MoVeD into a HouSe!! Super exciting! We moved from a 2 bedroom 1 bath duplex to a 5 bedroom 3 bath house! We're just renting and the house is for sale so we have no idea how long we'll be here - but with the economy we decided to chance it!
*And..I started school again. The light is getting brighter! This is my last year, I start student teaching in January then I'll graduate in May!! Thank Heavens for my mom and my mother in law who watch Dav! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I also started taking him to day care 2 days a week. He loves to play with the kids and I wanted him to be around kids his age more.
*The END! Sorry such an overload! All this documentation is for scrapbook purposes so sorry if i bore you to death!!

Brennen and Dav on the 24th of July.


Davin relaxin' watching TV.


Brennen's white legs + 3 hours of mowing lawns in shorts = FrIeD ChicKen LeGS!
I really felt bad for him, they were horrible!!


Davin got a virus that caused this HORRIBLE rash that covered his whole body for like 3 days. It was soo sad. I wish I would have taken a picture on the day it was the worst. This is actually a mild picture.


Dav and Brennen at the swimming pool.



Davin reading his books. He LoVeS to look at books and he usually only goes for the ones that have horses in them!

Davin playing out back in the wagon. I love our new backyard. It is huge and fenced in so I just open the door and out he goes!

FuN on ThE MouNtaIn...LaTe AgaIn!

Brennen's family went camping the first of this month. We went up and went fishing with them but we didn't stay because of work :( Davin absolutely loved it. As for me, I had fun but it's alot different with a 1 year old!! I had to watch him all the time and he was on the go the whole time! Thank GoodNeSs Brennen's little brothers love to play with him and they have no problem entertaining him. If not, I probably would have lost it! The Easter Bunny gave him his own little chair and I think this was one of the first times he actually sat in it. He thought he was somethin special and was cracking us all up! We took his wagon up there and he LOVED it! His uncles pulled him around and around until they were wore out! I am trying to do some digital scrapbooking and I am lovin' smilebox. With the exception of I can't print them the size I want and I don't know how well they will print, I love these fun little slideshows...EnJoY!

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

Almost a month later........

WarNinG: HuGe Post - more words than pics. THis is great for me to look back on when I'm at this point to scrapbook, since I am a little behind!
Well, I have been a major slacker. I can't believe how fast summer is going bye. It feels like we're on the go all the time. I started back at DQ full time. I can't say makin' ice cream cones is my favorite but I'm sure thankful that it is there for me to earn a little extra money in the summer. Brennen is super busy with work. He has also started playing softball again. I love to watch him. He's a stud. He plays men's league on Wednesday nights and then we play co-ed on Friday nights. I know, me playing softball, a joke right? Yea, it is quite interesting. I still have cheerleader in me. The other night I was playing catcher and the batter popped a ball up - for me to catch- and I yelled until the ball fell in my glove. Then I did a little cheerleader dance - Brennen about died I think. I can't help it, that's all I know how to do :) There is something about yelling that helped that ball fall in my glove..so I'll probably keep squeeling. Anyways, we haven't been up on the mountain as much as we would like but we have got up there a little bit. Brennen's parents bought a new SwEEeT camp trailer so they have been camping a couple of times and we try to get up there when we can. Anways, on to Davin's Birthday pictures. I can't believe my little man is 1! It makes me SicK!! The party was simple just family and a few friends. We had ice cream cake- which melted and got ruined on the way home so I had to try and save it- and I made him a cupcake in an ice cream cone and he took about two bites of it and threw it on the ground. Go figure! He was so mad becuase I put him in his high chair and he wanted to get down and run around.





NoT SpOilEd-JusT WeLl LovEd!


Hey GramPs- WanT SomE??

Vroom vrOoM!


Now tHatS The StuFf! IcE-CreAm CakE!


A little about this crazy one year old:
*He weighs 25 pounds and is 32-33 inches(I can't remember which one). He has lost about 3 pounds since he has been running around like a wild one year old.
*He now drinks whole milk. He doesn't mind it but he is kind of a picky eater. He loves yogurt, pudding, teddy grahams, and anything off the floor.
*He has mastered walking, or should I say running. He started really going about the middle of May and he hasn't stopped since! I finally got some wide shoes for his fat little feet. He couldn't-and refused-to walk in them at first but now they don't bother him.
*He is a jabber jaw!! I love it when he starts rambling on and on. He can officially say: ello(hello), ore(more), momma, dadda, amma(grandma), ampa(grandpa) go, pop, ball, ut(what), Naa Nao(he says that very clear!!) and I'm sure more that aren't coming to my mind right now. It's so cute when someone leaves or he looses something because he puts his hands out and says GO?? He can tell you what the doggy says- woof woof. Everytime he sees one he starts yelling woof woof! He is getting the hang of what the other animals say but doesn't have them mastered like the puppy. He learned how to get the dogs attention. He bends down and pats his knees.
*He is a boy through and through!!! He is going 24/7 and into everything I prefer him not to be in. He loves the toilet and toilet paper, throwing all the books on the floor, sneaking over to the garbage, ect. You name it, he's doin it.
*He is still in love with the vacuum. Seriously, it's ridiculous. The second the closet door opens he runs right there, then he follows me around and tries to grab on to the handle and push with me. Then, when I try to put it away-oh boy-he screams the second I close the closet door. Jackie and Troy bought him one for his b-day and he pushes it around but he still has a fit over the 'real' one.
*He loVes to be outside. Has a complete fit when I make him come inside.
*He loves his dad. Whenever he hears his voice he perks right up and looks all over for him.
*He loves his grandpas & grandmas. He gets so excited when he sees them and runs right to them.
*He FINALLY sleeps in his own bed. If you don't know, he has been sleeping with us for the last 4 months or so. He slept through the night when he was 8 weeks old until he started cutting teeth. Then he would cry for his plug so I would have to go in there several times in the night and I got plain lazy and just took him in our room so I could put it in his mouth. Then, he got addicted to sleeping in our bed. He would be out cold in our bed, I would pick him up-still sound asleep- and put him in his bed and he would wake right up and ScREAMM!!! However, he is a big boy and has been sleeping in his own bed and through the night for a week now. And I won't be giving in to that trick again! He now likes to be rocked to sleep and I sing to him.
*He loves the phone and pretends he is talking on it all the time. He puts it behind his head instead of his ears and it is HilarIous! One day I will capture a picture so you can see what I mean. He uses combs, bottles, and anything else to be a phone and walks around holding it on the back of his neck saying ello ello.
*Everyone still comments on his chuncky cheeks and what a big boy he is. Everyone says he'll be a great linebacker. We hope so! :)
*We spend so much time laughing at him. Brennen and I laugh so hard at him at least 2 times a day. He is so much fun! We LovE hiM To DeaTh!

~11 MoNthS~

Well, alot has happened in the last month! I wrapped up my spring semester of school, Dav cut two more teeth (he now has a total of 8), Dav started walking (not completely and all the time, he takes about 5-10 steps then chickens out and sits down) and he got a new car seat(finally!). Here are a few fun pictures of Dav.

This would be an adorable picture ~ To bad the PhoTograPheR cut his HeaD oFf!

It's FiNaL...Brennen and I are officially proud PROPERTY OWNERS!!! WOO-HOO! The sold sign went up today! I am so excited I can hardly stand it!! There probably won't be anything other than dirt and rocks on it for a few years..or more..but we own it! We are going to start paying on it so one day we'll actually be able to build! It's 1/2acre and it's in a GREAT neighborhood! I'm so excited about the location! It goes back to the white fence on the right of the picture.

Easter Weekend

Well, it has been forever since I posted! School has been crazy busy! I can't believe the end of the semester is 1 1/2 weeks away! I can't believe how fast time flies! We had a great Easter this year! It was alot of fun with Dav, even though he had no idea what was going on. We went over to Piute fishing on Friday. It was Dav's first fishing trip! It was fun, until the wind started blowing..What's new? Saturday was Brennen's little brother Stockton's birthday and Sunday was Skylers..so HapPy BirThdaY to them! We had cake and ice cream on Saturday and colored Easter eggs. Sunday we woke up and the Easter Bunny hopped on through and left Dav some fun Easter stuff. Then we went to church and remembered the true meaning of EasteR! After church we went out and had dinner at Brennen's parents! We can'T Get EnoUgh of TroY's DutCH OvEn!! Ohh it's fabulous! So all in all Easter was alot of fun this year!

DeNiS iS NinE mOnthS!

That's right, I called him Denis. That is exactly what he has become in the last month. He is crawling like a mad dog and pulls himself up on everything. Therefore, he is into EvEryThinG I know..this is only the beginning! He has been crawling for about 2 1/2 weeks now, nonstop. He doesn't like to cuddle anymore which makes me sad. He has decided he doesn't want to miss out on the fun so he doesn't like to go to bed until 11 or so. Once he is in bed, we're good to go. Its just a matter of getting him there! He has learned to shake his head no and yes. He mostly shakes his head no (to me) and I have a feeling thats not going to change over the years. He has learned the cuttest thing, but of course I can't get it on camera! We tell him to say cheese and he cocks his head back, scrunches his nose, and literally chesses it! It is so cute. He'll only do it when he feels like, which is usually not for anyone else! He also got another tooth over the last month; now he has 2 bottom and one top. He has the other top one coming in right now. It amazes me how fast time is going by. He has developed such a cute personality. I love watching it blossom! He loves to jump. When you stand him on your lap he thinks its a tramp and he jumps like tigger.
Look at that belly!


I wonder when she's going to tell me, "No nO GeT DowN??"


We finally lowered his bed. Since he likes to pull himself up on it, it was only a matter of time before he went overboard!



AnD He'S OfF!
