Feeding the grove bucks...

If you live in Beaver, chances are you have seen and fed 'the grove bucks'. Well, last night Brennen and I decided to go up there to see if they were out. We pulled up to them and they started to come to us but we didn't have any food so they were a little hesitant and wouldn't come 'right' to us. So we decided to get some apples and go back up tonight with Travis and Steph. There was a guy out feeding them in his yard so we stopped and asked if we could come and feed them some apples and let Davin see them. Dav is JUST LIKE his dad when it comes to deer. He can't get enough of them. He was yelling bull bull (He has always said buck but Brennen has taught him what the bull says so now he calls bucks bulls.) He wasn't scared at all and was trying to touch their noses and horns. There were quite a few deer and some really nice bucks!
Dav is trying to call them to him - he was a little excited!

Iron County Fair 2009

Brennen's family is from Parowan so Labor Day weekend is a pretty big thing for them. We have a family reunion and go to the fair. I was pretty excited because Dav could actually ride the rides this year and he loved it! The slide was by far his favorite. It was pretty big so I was a little nervous sending him down it. He went down it like 6 times - Brennen took him the first few times then Brennen's cousin and little brother took him a few more. It was so funny he laughed the whole way down and threw a lovely little fit when he was at the end. He liked the car, the boat, the slide, and the carousel but he wasn't a big fan of the ferris wheel. Here are some fun pictures that I got a little 'editing happy' with. Some of the originals probably look better than the edited ones but it was fun.





























These are just some cute pics I got of Dav with Brennen's hat. Everytime we put a hat on his head he has it off in a matter of seconds. The other day, he decided to wear it around the house so I had to get some pictures.

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!

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.
