Davis Family

4 Wheeling On My Own!

2009-07-29T09:34:00.000-07:00

Last Saturday I had a chance to go riding without Chad (he stayed home since he had an early race the next day). This was a little exciting and scary at the same time. When Chad goes I usually can drive whenever I want to but he is always there to do the scary stuff!

Needless to say I had a blast and was out riding with my friends all night! I am so lucky to have times like this!

Summer Days

2009-07-20T09:11:00.000-07:00

I know it has been a very long time since I have posted anything, with work, the kiddos and summer the days seem to go by quickly.

We have had a great summer, each day brings something new. We have had a couple changes this summer....the biggest one being that we have a nanny. My mom has watched the girls the last few years, and I am soooo thankful for that, but with my sisters quickly approaching due date we decided it was best to let my mom be more of a grandma then a full time day care. Our new nanny's name is Keely, and she actually has watched the girls several times when they were younger. She worked at Primerose School for years and had about 16 toddlers in her class...needless to say I think she is up for the challenge! The other great thing with having a nanny is that we no longer have to wake up Grumpy Kaylee in the morning. She is definently like her momma!

This summer we have also had the chance to go on a few vacations and outings. In June we went to Florida with my parents, brother, sister and another family. WE had so much fun...the girls loved the beach, the house was very cool and we had a chance to visit with our family from Florida.

(Bif holding dinner...YUM!)

This last weekend we went out on our friends boat to Lake Conroe. Everyone, including the kiddos had a chance to ride on the tube. Kaylee didn't really like riding but Brooklyn on the other hand loved it! Ofcourse our little dare devil would enjoy being bumped in the air at high speeds, LOL. It was a long fun day and both kids took small cat naps to make it through. We are very lucky to have fun family days we can cherish forever.

Spring Break and More...

2009-03-25T17:16:00.000-07:00

We had a huge Spring Break week...which we kicked off with a HUGE 3rd birthday party for Kaylee! We had all of our new neighbors, old friends and family over to our new house. We rented a jumper, boiled crawfish and just had a great day!

~Our little Tinker Bell~

Since there was no MDO due to Spring Break I decided it was a great time to get away from the day to day. We joined my friend Neile and her two kiddos on a camping trip at Livingston State Park. Before you think I am super brave I have to admit, I dragged my sister with me to help with my little monsters. We had a ton of fun, and it was so nice for the kids to get a chance to run wild.

Brooklyn and Brandon..They are actually the same age!

Needless to say we had a great week and were pretty worn out by the time the new week started. We have so many trips and things coming up...hopefully we will get a chance to see everyone!

BEAR

2009-02-14T10:25:00.000-08:00

This last Monday was a pretty BIG day for us.. Chad went had his Dr's appt to assure we do not have any more kiddos and right after we went to pick up our new addition to the fam! I thought it was pretty funny and appropriate!

We suprised the girls at my parents house with there new puppy. I wanted to look up some cool doggy names but Kaylee had something allready in mind. As soon as Kaylee saw the puppy she said he looked like a Bear and there you have it, he was Bear ever since.

Introducing our new addition to the Davis Family, BEAR...

Breckenridge

2009-02-09T11:05:00.001-08:00

Chad and I just got back form our awesome ski trip> It is so nice to have family to watch the girsl so that we can get away together every once in a while. Chad's sister Suzanne and her hubby Brian met us up in Colorado. WE all had a blast, we had 3 days of non stop skiing..Brian and Chad were skiing for hours upon hours straight! We also had a chance to go into town and have dinner and drinks. Breckenridge is such a beautiful town ful of little hole in the wall bars and restuarants and shopping of course. Needless to say we had a blast!

Little Photographer

2009-02-01T09:08:00.000-08:00

I know it has been forever since my last post..believe me no one lets me forget about my slacking! Honestly I have no taken many pic's lately, not sure why just did not have any major events going on. So I decided to let Kaylee do the work for me. K got a digital camera for Christmas and has been taking pic's ever since, bare with me they are not the best quality but they are great considering they were all taken by a 2 yr old.

So here is our Family from a 2 yr olds point of view!

White Christmas in Texas

2008-12-28T15:08:00.000-08:00

Even though we did get a little bit of unexpected snow before Christmas my little munchkins decided that was not enough! They went ahead and decided to create there own version of a white Christamas in the comfort of there living room.

I have no idea how they figured out how to remove all the batting from the inside of the couch cushions but they sure did it! Ya!

A Day As A Working Mom...

2008-12-15T18:31:00.000-08:00

Monday's are always pretty crazy for anyone, and my day started around 7:00am, I was up dressed and out of the house with both girls heading to my mom's house by 7:30. I had heard about an accident on the radio and knew I needed to go the back way to work. I got to work about 5 minutes late..not bad considering everything I needed to do within an hour. Had a pretty decent Monday at work which is a nice change every since I changed jobs. Left work at 4:30 so I could get the girls before rush hour, sadly I did not here about the wreck I was heading into. The entire feeder rd was shut down and set me back an extra hour getting to my moms, so much for getting home early.

Finally reached my moms to find Kaylee and Brooklyn in the tub. Kaylee pooped in her pants (we are still potty training) and decided to take them off and rub the poop on Brooklyn! YUCK! Kaylee also was in a bad mood and had not listened to my mom all day. Ofcourse she did not change her ATTITUDE once I got there and had several spankens. NICE!

I finally left to go home so I could cook, Chad met me at the house and we had a great dinner, no big issues. We were grabbing pj's when Kaylee once again was not listening and fell off her grocery cart into her bed face first. She busted her nose, which I am sure she will have two black eyes (pic's to follow). We were in the middle of getting her nose to stop bleeding when Brooklyn started coughing in the living room and then PUCKED everywhere. Chad rushed her into the bath, I finished up with Kaylee and we quickly put them in the saftey of there beds.

WOW.... I really can not even comprehend what happened today, and I am thinking thats a good thing.

Hungry Hungry Hippo

2008-12-07T14:45:00.000-08:00

Everyone knows that my little Brooky Bear loves to eat, she will literally eat anything you put in front of her. Here are a couple picks of my little pigglet at her favorite time of day!

~MHR FRIDAY~

2008-12-05T17:32:00.000-08:00

It has been a while since I have posted anything and expecially on MHR Friday!! As usual things have been insane, but I know I have to start making sure this is higher on my "To Do" list. So that being said My Husband Rocks because he is just plain awesome! Since we moved I have had more "ME" time than I can remember. I have gone shopping, running errands and out for drinks with friends and each time he is fine with helping out with the girls.

The other great thing is we have really tried to make this house our home. He has not given me any grief for keeping him up on his feet on his only day off putting pictures on the wall or lights on the house for the holidays. I can't tell you how much I appreciate these HUGE things along with the everyday things you do!

Thanks Babe!

Moving Day....

2008-11-19T16:59:00.000-08:00

Well we finally moved, actually we moved about 3 weeks ago but as most of you know it is slightly hectic!, so this is the earliest I had a chance to update. We had one day to move and since then have had 2 days off together to get everything else in order, but we did it.

The girls love the new house, I just finished deocrating Kaylee's room (it's black and pink) and will start looking for things for Brooklyn's room. We still need to get the couch and TV for the updtairs game room. We also have several things to do in the yard, additional sod, burn our cleared trees, make beds and extend the back patio. All in time, or when we have extra cash!

Here are some pic's hopefully we will get a chance to have everyone over to see our new digs...untill then, enjoy!

Pumpkin Heads

2008-10-12T07:35:00.000-07:00

Yesterday my mom and I took the girls to the Pumpkin Patch in Spring, we had a chance to catch the hay ride, climb on pumpkins, take pic's and go down the slide! The girls were exhausted by the time we left, each barely had enough strength to carry there small pumpkin or as Kaylee calls them "pumpkin heads".

ER VISIT

2008-09-29T17:36:00.000-07:00

In the middle of the Hurricane Ike craziness our little Brooky started coming down with a cold. The cold quickly turned into a bad upper resporatory infection and then to Croup. Last weekend we took her in to the ER when she could literally barely breath, it was so scary I can not even explain it. The scariest part was signing in at the Emergency Room and them not even letting us sit down, we were sent straight back and had a Dr and a resporatory Specialist in the room within five minutes. They gave her steroids and motrin then ended up releasing her a couple hours later.

Sunday came around and by about 12:00 Brooklyn was worse off then the night before. Chad immedialy took her to the hospiatl again. They brought her straight back to the dr just like the night before. We lucked out that we got the same dr who had previously seen her, he gave hersome more Steroids and started the process of admiting her. Around 6:00 am Chad and Brooklyn were finally in there hospiatl room. Brooklyn had to stay in a little mist tent the entore time, she also had a IV placed on the top of her hand...after they had allready tried to get one at her elbow :(. She was finally released Tuesday about 9:00 pm, and so far has done ok.

OH~! and to top it off, I had a call from my sister on Monday when Brooky was still in the hospital telling me Kaylee was having trouble breathing!!!! Ya, that's right...I almost had a breakdown, but I took her to the dr for steroids while Chad stayed with Brooklyn at the Hospital. Luckily the meds worked on Kaylee unlike Brooky.

Thanks for all the calls of encouragement and help. I could not have made it with out my friends and family.

Vacation Lost

2008-09-21T16:47:00.000-07:00

The Chapel at 7F, this is such a beautiful place.

The Aggie Cabin had a private Tub on the screened porch
Chad and I at Kyle Field for Yell Practice

Well our fridge food and our power were not the only things we lost due to the hurricane. We also lost or chance to go on our yearly Adults only vacation at the river. We all have been looking forward to this time away for some time now, we even texted back and forth counting down the days. Sadly the lack of power ruined this vaca for us, we could not even think of leaving our kids for 4 days straight with no power. We did however get to make a quick 2 night trip to Colege Station to our fav B&B 7f Lodge. Erin and Mike came up to join us and we had a blast. We even had a chance to go to Midnight Yell Practice (The Aggie Pep Rally). Below are some pic's of the B&B and the 2 cottages/cabins we stayed in.

After IKE~

2008-09-14T13:51:00.001-07:00

We made it through IKE! It was extremley windy and our elec went out atmy parents house about 1:00am. Chad and my mom were up pretty much all night looking at the weather. The winds stayed steady untill about 1:00pm, the rain was going sideways at many points. We drove through my parents neighborhood several times and saw HUGE trees down everywhere, one was all the way through someones garage.

We did not have any flooding where we were but we did have a Massive tree fall in front of our garage door at our apts. We literally can not get into our garage or front door with out going under the tree. CRAZY, we usually park there.

We are now in Dallas, we drove up on Saturday about 4:30, we are storm chassers I guess...but we made it to Nanny's house about 9:30. It is very ince to have power since all the reports say we can be without in Houston for 3 days to 2 weeks! Yuck!

7 years since...

2008-09-12T15:39:00.000-07:00

It is the 7 year anniversary of Chad's horrible motorcross accident 9/12/01. I can not believe it has been that long! It seems like yesterday when this heart wrenching accident happened. I can literally remember everything from that follwing week, hour by hour.

I want to Thank marilyn (Chad's mom) soooo much for being there with me through everything, I feel like we can get through anything life throws at us together.

Before IKE

2008-09-12T13:14:00.001-07:00

Our Bunker

Well here we are... we decided to brave the storm! I think we are a little more afraid of the 5 hour car ride with our sick girls if we decided to evacuate to Dallas! We live on the North side of Houston (Spring, Woodlands Area) and we are expecting 85 mile an hour sustained winds and gust up to 125 miles an hour. Galveston just had the edge of the storm hit a few minutes ago and basically the entire town is in bad shape. Not sure how much will be left after its over.

IH 45 Yesterday!

Below is an article of what our area will be looking at.

INLAND HARRIS COUNTY, WHARTON COUNTY, LIBERTY COUNTY, MONTGOMERY COUNTY, COLORADO COUNTY, AUSTIN COUNTY, FORT BEND COUNTY
“Inland, it looks like we’re going to get a core of hurricane-force winds come right up I-45, right through the heart of the Houston area,” Paul said.
A large part of that area will have winds sustained at hurricane force – between 74 and 95 mph.
“Right now, looking at Colorado County, Austin County, you might be a little far enough west to get out of those hurricane-force winds,” Paul said.
But for the rest of those people, there will probably be power outages, damaged trees and a lot of rain.

We have boarded up my parents house and have everything ready that we can. If we loose power for a long period of time we will head to Dallas. I will keep everyone updated as much as possible.

Galveston Island

The Sea Wall in Galveston. This concrete wall is about 15 feet from the beach. I hav never even seen water up to the bottom of the sea wall.

BIG WEEK !

2008-09-03T18:52:00.000-07:00

WOW... I can not believe it is ONLY wednesday! We have had one hectic week so far. First was the Hurricane scare...pointless, I think we had 30 minutes of rain and Brooklyn played in it the whole time. Next we had Mothers Day Out start back up on Tuesday. The girls did GREAT, neither one of them cried and Brooklyn even took a nap on her nap pad (first time).

Today we had the most anticipated Dance Class ever, Kaylee had been talking about her new class for over a week and had tried on all her new leotards. She looked sooo cute and started off a little shy, a couple minutes into it she started doing her thing but..... it quickly went down hill, FAST! She cried her eyes out for the rest of the class, I am not kidding, 25 minutes of screaming. I have a new respect for her teacher, she just carried on with the class and continued to cheer Kaylee up. Kaylee keeps telling me she won't cry next time, I will update with how the next one goes.

Other things new to our lives is Chad's new girlfriend... well at least it is feeling that way! He is gone riding on his new 4 wheeler as much as possible. He leaves about 10:00pm and will stay out untill 4:00 or 5:00am. I really have no idea how he makes through a work day after that kind of night. I have to say it is a VERY COOL 4 wheeler and we will get our money out of it.

Kaylee also got a new toy..she has been wanting to get a bike for a while and as usual I could not wait untill Christmas or her birthday! She loves it and does not even mind wearing her helmet. She has not mastered the pedaling part yet but she can push it on her tippy toes.

My Husband Rocks!!

2008-08-29T14:43:00.001-07:00

Many of my friends have started this great thing called "My husband Rocks Friday's" I decided that my hubby also deserves at least one day a week for me to brag on him.. So here goes...

My husband Rocks because he has been so sympathetic through this whole work issue!!! As many of you know my boss Carrie left the company. She is the best Regional I have ever worked for, she and I are also close friends. Well due to her leaving there has been a major push to rearrange the portfolio. Basically, anyone who is friends with Carrie has been extremley scrutinized over the last few weeks. Needless to say it has been a roller coaster, I don't fear that I will be fired b/c I have done nothing wrong and my owners really like me. However, they have made my life and my staff's life a living hell to try and push us out. Every night I come home with a headache and emotionally drained. Chad has done so much for me including taking care of the girls dinner, bath and bed every night he has been off early.

I know this is hard on him to but he can see that I can not take anything additional on my plate and for a man to notice means a lot!!

Thank you Chad...with out you I really would be a mess. (or need zoloft!)

Family Weekend

2008-08-24T15:22:00.000-07:00

I can't remember the last weekend Chad had off with us, seriously I have no idea when it was... And when he is finally off we always have so much to catch up on, it's either grocery shopping, school shopping, or just getting away!

Early Saturday we headed up to Hempstead, TX to visit Yogi Bears Jelly Stone Park, yes that is the real name. Our friends Neile and Biff had told us about this awesome park a couple times and we decided to load up the girls and try it out. We eneded up staying for 9 hours... there was so much to do, the girls loved every minute of it. They have a really neat Halloween Oktoberfest for the month of October, check there site out for details

http://www.campjellystone.com/camp-resorts-detail.php?campgroundID=76. We will be trying to make it back out October 17th- 19th. It is always so cool to find neat place that is both kid and adult friendly.

Bonus Room

They have not done too much that you can see on the outside but the inside is a different story. They added sheetrock throughout the house in less than 2 days! It is nice to see walls and get a better idea of our new home. We are expecting our brick and stone to be added early next week!

We can not wait!!!!

Blue Eyed Girls

2008-08-09T08:11:00.000-07:00

We had some new pic's taken...of course they came out great! Enjoy the view...

Building Our Future...

2008-08-06T17:45:00.001-07:00

Our new home is started!!!

After many months we finally figured out what exactly we were going to do as far as a home. We found a great little neighborhood in Conroe that we are very excited about. We were not planning on moving in untill December or January, but like most things in our life things seem to mbe coming along quicker than expected. They have moved our finish date to the 2nd week in October!

They just poured the slab for the house on July 10th and a week later it was allready framed! Yesterday we went out (with out the camera! Sorry!) and saw that the shingles and fireplace have been added. I have to say, I knew building a home would be exciting but to see your home being built in every single stage is so awesome! It really gives you more ownership and understanding of the entire process. The girls love going to "there house" as well, Kaylee always wants to see her room and always reminds us she wants a pink room. It is very neat to see them react to the differences every time we visit.

I added the pic's I had thus far...I will get the slab only pic's from my mom and add them. Sorry for taking so long!

Three Days

2008-07-24T16:37:00.000-07:00

This summer has seemed to be more work than play thus far! Chad and I both have been straining with our new promotions and unsure on if the additional $ is worth the extra stress. We both love a challenge but can see when are plates are too full.

The girls and I got away for a couple days at Lake Sam Rayburn for some much needed R&R...if you can call it that with a 1yr old and 2yr old! My parents and Allie and Louis (the girls call him Lulie) all came along with us to visit gran papa and gran mama. The girls love the outdoors and animals so the lake and my grandparents 2 dogs kept them busy. We had a ton of fun but were ready to come home to daddy.

Happy Birthday Brooklyn !!!!!

2008-06-10T17:14:00.000-07:00

Well our little Brookie Bear has turned 1 allready. I once again can not believe it! She is still so little~ I swear Kaylee was bigger at this time...maybe it is just me wishing she is still little.

We had her birthday party along with Caroline's (Mike and Erin's daughter) 3rd birthday at a friends house. We had a great pool to swim in, a huge moon walk jumper, a trampoline, and a play ground. Needless to say the kids had a blast and were ALL wiped out by the end of the day....so were the adults!

Brooklyn's new vintage shades!

Yum. Yum.

My first birthday cake!

Before the party, I had to make the biggest mess ever...just b/c I knew I could not get into trouble on my birthday!

My Papa and me having fun in the pool!

Love It!

2008-05-17T19:51:00.000-07:00

I had to post this pic of our Brooky Bear... We all love it and I wanted to share!

Family Time

2008-05-17T19:29:00.000-07:00

A couple weeks ago we had a day out with the whole family, something we rarley get to do so it was much needed. We took the girls to Old Mcdonalds Farm in Humble, and it was a blast! Kaylee and Brooklyn love animals but I never knew they would embrace them so much! Neither one of them had any reservations at all. Kaylee rode the horse about 4 times by herself...she barely let Brooklyn ride with her at all. Kaylee also had a chance to feed a deer and a horse. Like I said we had a blast and got some great pic's while we were at it.

Another very exciting event on our day off is what we found. We had a chance to stop by a neighborhood in Conroe on the way home, it turned out to be exactly what we had been looking for. Last week Chad and I put a contract down to build our new home. It should be built by the end of Novemeber...I can't wait we are getting more and more excited each time we go out to the neighborhood. I will update some pic's soon.

Vroom Vroom

2008-04-04T19:16:00.000-07:00

The other day we took a trip to the track to see daddy ride. The girls were so entranced with all the vroom vroom cycles going around. Both of the girls had there chance to ride with Chad, and were all smiles.

Very cute!

Rodeo Day

2008-03-29T19:40:00.000-07:00

We had a family day at the Houston Livestock show and rodeo last week. We new this was a great place for the girls and it did not let us down. Kaylee was extremley excited to see all the animals. The petting zoo was a HUGE hit, she was not shy at all, even Brooklyn wasn't hesitant to pet the goats and pony. We also had a chance to go on a few carnival rides. Chad rode the tea cups with Kaylee, we now know she does not have motion sickness like her mommy. I guess she will be able to go to the movies with her daddy when she gets older! They also went through a fun house and played a carnival game. Kayle tried to pop a balloon by throwing a dart... She missed pretty badly but still had her pick at a prize. It is so nice to stop for a minute and have fun as a family. I jst wish we planned to do so more often.

Update on girls:
The girls had there dr's appt last week and we had an update on there stats.

Kaylee 97% weight and 80% on height
Brooklyn 50% weight and 25% on height

I just can not believe our Brooky Bear is a shorty...and she has little feet? Who knows?

2008-03-24T08:35:00.001-07:00

Make a slideshow - it's easy!

Two soon!

2008-03-16T08:50:00.001-07:00

My little baby turned two last Sunday and I am not sure how the last 2 years went by so fast. Every parent will tell you "they grow up so fast", but when you are dealing with your day to day life you don't relize how much its true!

Kaylee is such a beautiful little girl, not only on the outside but the inside. She is so caring and worried about everyones feelings...(well most of the time)! She always trys to soothe Brooklyn when she is upset. She will tell you "it's okay" when you hurt yourself and she will kiss your bo bo. She has just really been attached to the "mom" role. She has also shown her wild side!!! She is a dancer....she can not sit still if music is playing. She loves it!!!! And she HAS to have an audience when she is dancing, sounds like a big cousin of hers! LOL This week we will get to update everyone with her growth stats. I can not wait to find out how much weight I am caring up and down the stairs several times a day.

We had Kaylee's birthday at Pump It Up this year, it is a huge room filled with inflatable moonwalks, obstacle courses and slides. Everyone had fun, including the adults. We had the room for 2 hours but after about 45 minutes I think every kid was wiped out. Kaylee had a blast and ate every bite of her cupcake..well minus the few fingers full of icing Brooklyn stole. It was a great day!

Dallas

2008-02-10T12:41:00.000-08:00

Our family has had one crazy 2008 thus far. We have traveled to Arkansas twice, Dallas once and Chad and I also had a chance to go to a bed and breakfast last week for some much needed R&R.

Dallas was awesome..it had been about 6 months since we had been and there were so many changes in the girls since then. Whitney had recently gotten a yorkie for Christmas. This dog is adorable, she is only about 2 1/2 pounds max and is a ball of energy. We were a little worried about Kaylee's reaction since she has been a little afraid of dogs over the last few months. Suprisingly she did really well, actually she was obsessed with "Molly". She was bossing her around telling her "go outside Molly". It was sooo cute. Kaylee also took to Thomas and Whitney, she loved playing with the her big cousins, it is very neat to see her interract with older kids.

Brooklyn was certainley the center of attention... she was fed a variety of foods by her Uncle Bryan. He is famous for feeding babies all sort of things. She was a cutie and did great the whole weekend.

Hopefully our coming months will let our family slow down a bit. It would be great to have a weekend off with Chad and have nothing planned. But I know that will be hard to find... we allready have supercross and Kaylee's birthday pary coming up! Ahhhh.. one day we will relax, thats my goal anyway!

Grandaddy

2008-01-27T09:59:00.000-08:00

Earlier this month Chad's grandpa "Grandaddy" past away. This was a very sad day for our enitre family. Grandaddy had a special way to let each person know how much they ment to him. He was a very lucky man that lived a full life. I could only dream to see my great grand children and be lucky enough to leave this world wiath all of my children in good health. Chad and I traveled to Arkansas with Kaylee and Brooklyn for the funeral, we decieded to fly since it would be easier on the girls. The whole family from all over the country took time to travel to Arkansas. It was amazing to see how much Grandaddy ment to everyone, he was one of a kind!

We Love You Grandaddy!

I wanted to add a couple pictures I took while we were there, this was te first time severa family members got to see the girls so as usual they were spoiled rotten.

Papa's Little Girl

2008-01-13T18:43:00.000-08:00

Kaylee and her Papa are inseparable. She yells "Papa's house!" every time we pull into the drive way. She is very very possessive of her Papa when he is holding Brooklyn or not paying attention to her (which is not very often). I know he would like to relax when he comes home from work but Kaylee is constantly pushing him to play and be her little buddy even before he gets a chance to get out of his truck. Honestly I think he soaks it up and loves every minute of it.

It is so awesome to see my dad interact with her, she has him wrapped around her finger. He loves to get down on her level and show her new things... He had been dying to take her fishing at this little pond by there house. Here are a couple pic's!

I know he will hate me for this but I can not help myself!!!

He really gets into playing "Dress Up" with Kaylee! Told you he loves every minute of it!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Happy New Year..

For the first time since Chad and I have been together, (this was our 9th New Year's) we decided to stay at the house. As most of you know we have been under the weather and had a rough time of it this weekend. Chad even called in sick! Amazing... I know!! As we were expecting our little ones were not far behind. Brooklyn has had a horrible fever that has stayed around 102 since Monday afternoon. We made a new years eve trip to the dr, but all he could tell us was she had the same bad cold! YUCK!

So in saying that we came home and I rocked Brooklyn (poor baby), while Chad and Kaylee popped fire works. She loved the pop pops you throw on the ground. And that was probably the highlight of the evening. We put the girls down for bed about 8:00 and we hit the hay about 10:00. Lame I know, but unbenounced to us we would be pulling a all nighter like everyone else. Brooklyn was miserable and was awake most of the night. All we could do was keep her medicated and cuddled. Needless to say we could use a nap!

2007 AT A GLANCE

2007 has came and went, I can not believe how much has happened this year. It has gone by so fast it seems we loose track of time with these two rug rats.. Here is a quick glimpse of 2007 for The Davis'.

Our first big event of 2007 came in March, our little Kaylee Poo turned ONE! We had a great party with a huge moonwalk in our back yard. We were so lucky to have so many family and friends able to celebrate her big day. Looking back at pictures blows my mind on how much she has matured and how much hair my bald headed baby has now.

Of course, we had a big change soon after Kalyee's birthday.. Brooklyn was ready to take the spot light! Brooklyn Mae Davis was born on June 8th 2007, weighing in at 7 lbs, 3 oz. I still can not believe Chad and I are parents. We are so lucky to be blessed with two healthy, happy baby girls. Brooklyn is such a great baby, she loves her sissy and loves to watch Kaylee run around.

Our other large change in our life has been our change of address. We finally bit the bullet and put our house on the market in late September. To every one's surprise two weeks later we had a contract. I was very nervous of how I would feel leaving our first home, the home were we brought both of our little girls to as newborns, but I was pleased when I realized it was all for our future. The nice LARGE apartment didn't hurt the transition either.

With the address change also changed my occupation. No more stay at home mom for me,I was a full time working mom and the roller coaster began. We have been SOOOO Blessed that my mom has the option of watching the girls. All of us hate to see the girls go to a day care and all agreed me working was not worth it if that was the option. And so the girls are off to Memaw's and Papa's every morning, and they LOVE IT!!! I could not ask for a better situation, they are loved, cared for, and most of all spoiled rotten. My dad comes home a couple times each day to see the girls and gets off about 4:00 so he can sneak Papa time in before I pick them up.

As you can see our year has been very very life changing. I think we have so much ahead for our family and can not wait to see what this new year brings!

Make a scrapbook - it's easy!

Chunky

2007-12-22T11:42:00.001-08:00

Brooklyn is such a chunk!! She recently had her 6 month check up at the dr and weighed in at 16lbs 12 oz (which is in the 75%) and was 25 inches long (the 25%). So basically she is still short and a little fatty. She has had a little bit of trouble eating solid food lately, Kaylee and her both had a little tummy virus which left them unsure of eating again. I love how many rolls she has...EVERYWHERE! They are so cute, hard to get food out of but cute. She has been such a great baby, she has been sleeping through the night a couple times all ready, but usually wakes up once for a bottle. She also just recently started holding her own bottle which makes night time feedings painless. I really think she will be such a great addition to our family with her personality. She is so happy all the time and loves to see her big sissy play, she can not stand not being able to run and jump around with Kaylee. Here are some updated pic's of my little one.

I love the Holidays...

2007-12-22T11:19:00.000-08:00

The Girls have really enjoyed the season this year. It is so cute to here Kaylee ask about Santa and Christmas Trees every day. Here are a c0uple pic's from Old Town Spring last weekend. Of course I decorated the apartment for the Christmas.. luckily I had Marliyn here a couple days around Thanksgiving to help distract the kids while I decorated. I love having our tree and lights up, it just makes the apartment feel more like a home. So far we have loved living here, we really lucked out getting this apartment. We have rarely missed our house which I thought I would be miserable with out. Having no mortgage has been VERY nice.. we have made a few purchases with our new cash flow... including a TV and a new computer (Thank God !). We also finally are one payment away from paying off our last credit card. Our next big payoff will be Chad's truck which we are aiming to finish by the end of the summer. WE had plans to build on our land out in Magnolia but are looking at other options. We will most likely stay in the apartment as long as possible and then look for land closer to build on or buy a home in Spring or Tomball with a little acreage. Not sure yet, but its fun to have the options!

Santa and the girls

2007-12-16T15:14:00.000-08:00

We went to Old Town Spring this weekend and had some great Christmas experiences with the girls. We had pic's taken with Santa and rode a train ride several times with Kaylee. Santa even rode the train with Kaylee and Papa, she was very excited and thought everyone was waving at her the entire ride. She did not however like sitting on Santa's lap. She will talk about Santa all day but when its time for her turn to tell him what she wants she wants no part of it.

Update... As of today we have resolved the computer issue. We bit the bullet and purchased a new HP lap top and I will get it up and running tonight. I never relized how much I rely on a computer these days. Its as bad as a cell phone I think, I do everything on it and can not stand having to travel to my parents to google something or do update my checkbook. Anyway, just be looking for updates on a regualr basis..

Wanted: New Computer!!

2007-11-24T14:54:00.000-08:00

Well no picture updates today, our computer is still on the fritz and we decided to purchase a new TV yesterday instead of replacing it. Funny how our priorities are lately!

The girls are doing great lately...we had Nanny down from Dallas for Thanksgiving and had a HUGE meal at my parents house.It was really nice to have everyone sitting down at the table saying what they are thankful for. Even Kaylee piped in saying she was thankful for Popsicles! We practiced that for a while before it was her turn. Other than that we are having a normal holiday season. Chad works 6 days a week, he is off on Wednesday's to watch the girls. I believe the next day off I have with him is Christmas, so it is very hard to feel like a family this time of year if you are never together... The price we pay for the life we want!

Kaylee has been talking up a storm, she tries to say EVERYTHING you say, and has started saying 2-3 words in a row. It is so cute. Brooklyn has been teething so she is grumpy a lot lately, but she has also been switched to her crib instead of the swing. She definitely likes it better. She still wakes up a lot at night but not nearly as much as she used to in the swing.

I hope everyone has a great holiday season... I really hope we get to see everyone soon, our last few months have been so hectic that we are having with drawls from not visiting with our friends and family. Maybe I can make more of an effort, but it is so nice to relax on my few days with the girls.

Happy Holidays!

Tu Tu Cute

2007-11-11T08:27:00.000-08:00

Here are our little cutie pies! We had these pic's taken at Picture People and they came out GREAT!!!!!! Enjoy. I will also send out a website to view others.

Halloween 2007

2007-11-02T04:41:00.000-07:00

We have had a lot going on as much of you know...On Halloween Day we closed on our home...finally, I had a huge property take over at work and we celebrated Halloween. You would think that was enough for one week but no, we had to add more! Chad actually starts his new job today (Friday) as the Asst Store Mgr at 1960. He is very excited and is hoping for a chance to move up quickly. Also on our plate is the craft show me and my friends are doing. We have put a lot of time and effort into making this go off with out a hitch. My friends April and Erin have done the bulk of the craft show details and sadly we will be one man down at the show since April just had her beautiful baby girl yesterday (Nov 1st) 7lbs, 15oz, Sarah Beth Rose Landes

Anyway.. On to Halloween~
So every year before Halloween we have a tradition of pumpkin carving with the whole family at my parents house, and once again we all got together to show our creativity and make a HUGE mess. Kaylee really hated the pumpkin seeds but warmed up to it after a while.

Halloween day came quickly after and the girls were ready to go... They were both cheerleaders and looked so cute. Kaylee even borrowed her cousin Britney's real pom poms . We ended up trick or treating at my parents house for most of the night, then we went by the church were Kaylee goes to MDO for a carnival. Even with 3 bags of M&M's Kaylee was ready for bed when we finally got home.

I wanted to add a couple additional pic's of the girls I have taken over the last few weeks. I can not believe I have not added to the blog in so long. We actually thought our computer had crashed for a few days, but luckily it starting working again. Kaylee just got the cutest jammies, they have monkeys all over them and look adorable. I will try and add things more often again. I just have had a tough couple weeks and the holiays are right around the corner. AHHH! Wish me luck!

Punkin Head!

2007-10-14T18:24:00.000-07:00

Today I ventured to the pumpkin patch with out the help of Chad, I did however have a couple friends to help out with the girls. We had so much fun and we could not have picked a better day. Kaylee had a blast on the hay ride and the big slide. Once again she was the smallest kid on the slide, and I did not look like a good mom b/c of that! But she did great and even was up for climbing on the mountain of pumpkins.

Later on she decided it would be fun to take Brooklyn on a ride in the shopping cart. I supervised, of course...Very Cute.

Home Sweet Home.

2007-10-13T10:43:00.000-07:00

Well, we made it! Chad and I worked all Monday night and through the day on Tuesday and finally finished. Well we actually have the garage, attic and stuff from the back yard but everything else is done! I put some pic's of our new digs for you to see. I am so glad we were fortunate enough to get this large apt. I could not imagine anythign smaller.

On a sad note.... Chris, my sisters good friend that was shot in his truck on 1960 back on 2005 died today. After 2 1/2 years of fighting he finally went with the Lord and is in a better place. I am very sad to hear this but I know know one would want to be in his position for that long and I am glad he left his broken body. Please pray for his family and Allie to come to peace with his passing, they are taking it really hard.

We love you Chris and will miss you!

OMG !!!

2007-10-06T18:47:00.000-07:00

Today I packed my first box for the BIG MOVE, and all I can say is OMG. I really reallly have no idea how we are going to pull this off with two little ones and two full time jobs. I feel so overwhelmed, not to mention so exhausted, and I have only packed 10 boxes thus far.

Anyway, just wanted to let you know what I am thinking about all this. I feel for anyone who has moved out of a house!

SALE PENDING!

2007-10-03T19:48:00.000-07:00

Yes, you heard me right, we have just finished negotiations on a contract and will be moving OCTOBER 31ST!!! I am VERY overwhelmed just thinking of the stress I am in for over the next few weeks. Chad and I only have 2 days off together in the whole month of Oct which does not even start until Oct 20th. So I am actually unsure on how we will pull this off. I might be calling in a few favors on watching the girls, so any volunteers would be appreciated : )

Anyway, wish us luck that the inspection goes off without a hitch and that we get everything in order. I will post some pic's of our new apartment. It's actually really nice.

Great Pic's

2007-09-30T11:58:00.000-07:00

Lately I have taken a couple great photos of the girls! First of all, Brooklyn has the sadest frowney face in the world. We are in BIG trouble with this girl. You have to give her whatever she wants when she gets upset, just to make her happy again.

Over at my parents house the nieghbors have a hammock, and Kaylee loves to swing in it. I put Brooklyn with her this time and probably got the best pic's I have of them together.

OUR BIG DREAM

2007-09-18T15:58:00.000-07:00

Okay I finally took some pic's of our land in Magnolia, and downloaded a couple floor plans we are looking at. We will have our house on the market as of Friday and all ready have an apartment lined up to move into as of October. I know we have stalled on starting this project in the past but we really think we can pull it off this time. Our plan is to pay off Chad's truck and start building next year. I am so excited and overwhelmed at the same time. The neighbors next to us just finished there house and it is beautiful. I can not wait to see ours finished....

Kaylee 18 months

2007-09-18T15:51:00.000-07:00

Kaylee has her 18 month check up today and only had one shot (thank GOD), she has grown dramatically in the last 3 months. She is now 28 lbs 12 oz and is 33 1/2 inches tall. Which puts her in 90% height and 95% weight. She is HUGE her height last time was 30 1/2 inches, so 3 inch growth in 3 months. WOW! I added some pic's from Monday when we went to Pump it up, Kaylee was so brave and was going down the tallest slide with all the bigger kids. Big Surprise!

The River Trip~

2007-09-18T15:45:00.000-07:00

Chad and I just got back from our Adults Only River Trip. We had so much fun, I do not think we relaxed as much as we wanted to but we definently had fun! We floated the river about 8 times, had a chance to visit Gruene Hall and shop a little at the outlet mall. We love getting away and have found the best little house rental on the river. There was also the coolest restuarant in Gruene that was right on the river.

Happy Anniversary

2007-09-07T05:04:00.000-07:00

Today is Chad and our 5th wedding anniversary, I can not believe it has all ready been that long since we were all up in Conroe for one of the Best Days of my life. So many wonderful memories flood my mind. From Aunt Susie video taping, Brandon's infamous dancing, or Allison's cake catastrophe.

Chad and I have been so blessed with this marriage, we are lucky enough to have this awesome home which we moved into 2 weeks before we were married, it feels like we have grown up in this home and it is hard to think about moving. Of Course, everyone knows we have the greatest two munchkins in the world. I still can not fathom my life with out these two miracles, they have our hearts in the palm of there little hands. It is tough with them being so young but the magical moments we have as a family can never be replaced. We also have had good fortune in our careers, Chad is still working hard with Verizon and is contemplating another move up. I have had the best coworkers and supervisors I could ask for, most of which over the years have become my best friends. I am working at The Lynd and am loving my new challenge.

We have so many plans, ideas and dreams we wish to full fill in the future, and I just hope we are as blessed has we have been in the past. Thank you to everyone who has been in our life thus far. We have had so many great friends who have experienced the MOST important parts in our life. I guess that's the way it is supposed to work out.

To My Honey bun:

I love you , it seems like such a trivial phrase that we use so freely these days, but these words have never changed for me. I have loved you for a life time it seems and I can not imagine having one day were I do not get to say that to you. You still make me smile every time I see your calling, you make me feel safe and comfortable in everything we come up against in this world. You have been the best Daddy to our girls, everyone says it to me, and I see it too. You make them feel like they are your first priority and I adore that.

I love you!

First Day of School

2007-09-04T18:10:00.000-07:00

Kaylee had her first day back at school (Mother's Day Out), I was a little worried about how she would handle bieng left at a strange place, but suprisingly she did great. Right when we got there she saw a little boy who was very upset about going down the slide and Kaylee came to the rescue to show him exactly how to do it. Sounds like another little cousin of hers when she was little...(whitney). When we picked her up the teachers said she had a great day and even had a long nap. I still have no idea how they manage to get 5 toddlers to take a nap at the same time!

9 Days and Counting

2007-09-03T13:09:00.000-07:00

There are only 9 days until Chad and I leave to go to the river...with out the kiddos. I can not wait for time alone with other adults, but I must say leaving the girls will not be so easy. We have had no time lately as a family. Chad and I have been working like crazy and have not had a day off together since August 11th. It has definitely taken a toll on all of us, it makes you realize what you take for granted.

As for our munchkins, they have been sprouting like weeds. Kalyee is repeating everything and is sooo smart. It amazes me every day the things she understands. She actually even has a chore now, taking the diapers to the trash. She will even do it without us asking sometimes. Brooklyn has been smiling like crazy. She has also started a little clingy faze. She will not let us put her down, even at nap time. I love holding her but it has taken a toll on allowing me to clean on my down time.

Here are a couple pic's from the labor day weekend.

And The Winner Is...

2007-08-26T14:22:00.000-07:00

CHADLY.... Of course. It was soooo HOT, but I braved the track for a few hours with the girls. Kaylee loved to see all the "Vroom, Vroom's" and thought every guy with a helmet was her "Da Da". It was very entertaining. After Chad's first race I took the girls to my parents to take naps and cool down. Brooklyn returned the the track with me without her big sis who decided to take an extended nap at grandma's. Like I said it was very fun and Chad did great. He had the holeshot on both races and was never passed. He did almost fall about 10 feet in front of us, which was scary to say the least, but some how he recovered and finished 1st overall. He actually won some cool stuff like a pair of tires (retail $200), a gift cert, tickets to the Motocross next weekend(fun for him only...) and a plaque (like we needed another one).

Here are some pic's.

Face Lift!

2007-08-23T16:41:00.000-07:00

So I thought the blog needed a little bit of a face lift, and thanks to a recomendation I found a lady who could accomodate.

I am very excited to say I am officially back to work! My days fly by and I miss the girls terribly but it is nice to challenge myself and the extra cash doesn't hurt. Chad and I are getting closer and closer to our debt free goal, hopefully by the end of the year we will have the bulk paid off!

As for the girls they are having a blast with there grandma. She is such a blessing. That is the only place I can drop Kaylee off where she does not cry for us when we leave. That says alot about how much she loves her papa and grandma. I think they just feed her popsicles all day to win her over. Brooklyn is getting sooo chunky, she had her 2 month check up and was 10lbs 7 oz and 21 inches long (20% in height and 50% on weight). I looked back on Kaylee's 2 month stats and she was 10lbs, 4 oz and 22 inches long. So I guess Brooklyn will be our shortly so far.

Our life has been great lately..very..very busy but great. Chad is planning on racing this weekend so I will get some pic's of the girls firtst race day.

Summer Days

2007-08-11T19:42:00.001-07:00

Kaylee and I went to the beach on Friday, we had so much fun! Kaylee was all about running into the water. The water was really smooth and calm, unlike most days in Galveston.

As I had said before, Brooklyn started smiling and I kind of got a couple good pic's. She grins alot bigger but I still can not take the pic in time!

More Pic's

2007-08-08T08:42:00.000-07:00

Here are a couple pic's that were requested from Grandma. Kaylee had her surgery on Monday and it went great. It literally took 10 minutes from the time we handed her over to the time they came and got us from the waiting room. She did good after, she wasn't sick or aggressive like they warned us could happen. The only bad thing about the day was that we had to remove her earrings before the surgery....we will see how long it takes to get them back in!

And Time goes By!

2007-08-03T10:40:00.000-07:00

Where has my day gone... This is how I feel every day. WE have been out of town alot lately and our short time at home is filled with kiddo's and laundry! We have had a couple moments to hit the pool, I am sure you can tell Kayleeloves that outing! She also had a great time in the refridgerator box at my parents. She spent an entire evening in it. Brooklyn is growing so fast she is almost 2 months old and has the cutest fat rolls. She also just started smiling, I am still trying to catch it on camera. We did have a couple dr's visits though. Brooklyn has thrush and HATES the medicine I have to give her 4 times a day. Kaylee had a viral infection and has ear tube surgery on Monday. I am VERY nervous about the surgery. WE also just made the decision for me to go back to work. We really want to start building our dream home in the next 2 years and we need tp pay off some debt before we can start. Luckily my mom will be able to watch them when I am working and they both will be able to go to Mother Day Out (Which i love). So there is our family update... I will really try and update more often.

Aquarium Dowtown

2007-07-14T18:48:00.000-07:00

This last week we took a family trip to the Aquarium downtown, as you can see Kaylee had a blast. She liked how she could be right up close to the fish and other animals. She did great considering we went during her nap time and it was only about 100 degrees outside.

We are getting very excited about our trip to Dallas next week and our vacation at the lake later this month. We are in need of some time away from the chores at home. And it will also be nice to have some relaxation and help with the kiddos. Lately I have relied heavily on my Parents to give Chad and I a break every now and again. I am so glad they are so madly in love with the girls, they never say no to a babysitting request. I really do not know what other people do who do not have family near by.

1 month old

2007-07-06T07:53:00.000-07:00

Here are some great pic's of the girls, Brooklyn is 1 month old TODAY!!! Kaylee will be 16 months on Sunday. They are both doing great, I think Kaylee's teeth has finally came in and Brooklyn's gas has gotten a little better.

4th of July

2007-07-05T18:25:00.000-07:00

Rain, Rain, Go Away! That's pretty much all that happened on the 4th! We had plans to spend the day at the pool and then BBQ like most Americans on the 4th but mother nature changed our plans. We did get a chance to have a lazy day at home and sleep in. About 4:00 we went over to the Gallands for BBQ and Fireworks. Luckily we caught a break in the weather for a couple hours so we could enjoy the dinner and let the kids run around for a few.

Kaylee was of course all over the fireworks, she loved the sparklers but unfortunately was asleep by the time we brought the big ones out. Brooklyn on the other hand was awake and did not even flinch. Once we got home we had some issues...from Brooklyn not wanting to go to sleep (gas I am sure.), I had a horrible head ache and Kaylee was up and down most of the night. Poor Chad had about 4 hours of sleep! I guess we will learn our lesson on staying out late on of these days.

Night Out

2007-07-01T21:45:00.000-07:00

Chad and I are so lucky to have my parents close by and willing to take on the challenge of watching a 15 month old and a 3 week old over night. They must love them a bunch! ON Friday night Chad and I dropped the girls off at my parents and went out with a bunch of friends for dinner and dancing. We were celebrating Erin and my birthday with a fun night with adults only! We had a blast and finally got home at about 3AM! The next morning I was wishing we came home after dropping the girls off and just went to sleep, definitely would have been smarter to catch up on our Z's.

It was very nice to have a night out and get all dressed up again with out looking like a whale. It is so nice to get out of the car with out getting 5 bags or have dinner and be able to use both your hands for yourself. But I did miss my little girls so much and could not wait to see them the next day.

Hard Days

2007-06-26T20:07:00.000-07:00

The last two days have been a big test for me, Kaylee has been extremely whiny and Marilyn and I both thought it was from her missing Nanny so much. I was fixing to go insane when I decided to check for new teeth and low and behold she had 4 (THAT"S RIGHT FOUR!!) new ones about half way out of the gums. Poor baby. On top of that she has a yeast infection, nice I know. I would be whining like crazy myself. Then we move on to Brooklyn who is still a GREAT baby thus far. She is having a really bad gas issue that makes her fussy throughout the day. I just started trying a new formula to see if she is lactose intolerant and a couple new bottles as well, We will see if this helps. As for me after a couple LONG days and Chad working super late I am looking forward to Chad being off tomorrow.

On another note I wanted to let everyone know we have listed our 4 wheeler on Craigs list. I am very excited since this puts us one step closer to being debt free! We have had 3 offers so far and as I type Chad is showing a potential buyer in our garage. Stay tuned for the outcome.

new pic's

2007-06-23T10:49:00.001-07:00

Here is a quick peek at the newest pictures for the announcements. And a awesome close up of Kaylee.

Toys R Us

2007-06-23T10:44:00.000-07:00

Literally, we have a million toys, and with Nanny here a week I think we added about 100 additional toys. Now Kaylee has plenty of items to keep her attention through out the day. It is funny to see her so wiped out at the end of the day from just staying home and playing. Her newest toy is a slide and she is of course fearless. She has gone down it about 100 times. It is very nice to see her so happy and it gives me a much needed time away with Brooklyn.

First Bath

2007-06-21T13:23:00.001-07:00

Brooklyn had her first bath and unlike most infants she loved it. It seemed like she was just relaxing in the sink. We took a ton of pic's since she was so calm. We will see if this reaction to water last when we add Kaylee to the tub!!! Should make for great photo's... Stay Tuned!

Thank God for Sleepy Heads...

2007-06-17T18:58:00.000-07:00

Kaylee has been testing my patience as far as naps go, but over the past few days including Chad's last day of vacation she has given us the wonderful gift of sleep. She slept in on Chad's last vaca day until 10:00... and can you believe Brooklyn did too. They also let me get a 2 HOUR nap in on Saturday. It was great. As far as Brooklyn goes she has been a great sleeper (thus far) she is waking up around 2 x's a night and then she goes right back to sleep.

I am so happy with my girls...I love taking care of them, it does take all my time but it is so rewarding. Having a newborn reminds me how fast they grow up. Kaylee is changing every day, she now has a very large vocabulary and can pretty much copy any word you say. Marilyn "Nanny" came down on Father's Day to visit. Kaylee loves her new play pal, Nanny even found out the one thing Kaylee is afraid of... the elmo bird. It is HILARIOUS! She freaks out if it touches her, so we taught her to say "No, No" and hit the bird with a maraca. You can see the bird in the pic.

So our week goes on, we will be sending out announcements soon, we just had pictures made today. I will update asap.

The first week home.

2007-06-13T20:14:00.000-07:00

We are coming up on the end of Brooklyn's first week and it has been some what uneventful. Chad has been off so we have been trying to relax and soak it up as much as possible. Every day we ask each other what we are going to do that day... and after diaper changes, naps, feedings, and trying to get alone time with Kaylee is it 5:00 before we know it.

We have had two Dr's visits to follow up on Brooklyn's jaundice. We got the results today and everything is great, we will not have to go back until next week. This was great news since traveling as a family of four in a tiny Honda is near impossible. Chad and I knew a larger car was in our future but were originally thinking we would look next year. Our minds have changed from the issues this week and we are going to look tomorrow at a Tahoe.

As far as Kaylee goes she is changing into a great big sister, she has her moments that have tested our patience but over all she has been okay. She loves Brooklyn so much, and looks for her every morning in our room. She also kisses on her all throughout the day. She just is not old enough to understand she can not clap Brooklyn's hands or touch her head roughly. She will learn. I also feel bad for feeling like she is taking it hard and blaming her crankiness on that, today I found she had another tooth coming through and I know she is cranky from that too. Poor baby! Other than that she is blabbing like crazy, she just learned " No, No" which has been so much fun as you might imagine!

And so our crazy life continues I will try to update with pic's as much as possible. When I have time.

Brooklyn Mae Davis

2007-06-10T12:26:00.000-07:00

She is here.... After about 9 hours of contractions and 2 pushes Brooklyn Mae Davis was born. (I know I would hate me too.) She is 7 lbs 3 oz and is 19 inches long. The biggest shocker is her BROWN HAIR, we are not sure what to do with it. : ) We just got home on Sunday about 1:00pm and are very glad to be back with Kaylee Poo! She was soooo excited to see us but had a double take (literally) when she saw the baby with us. Very Funny.

As far as Brooklyn, she is doing great! She eats about every 3 hours and sleeps all the time (for now). She had a chest X-ray at the hospital b/c she was having some oxygen level issues but everything came out fine. We will be going to the Dr on Tuesday to get her Billirubin levels checked again, she was a little yellow when we left, but only as a precaution. Anyway, I will put more and more pic's as I download them. We love everyone and thank everyone for there calls...

Last Day

2007-06-07T10:16:00.000-07:00

Okay today is the day I go in to the hospital, Chad will be dropping me off around 4:15 this afternoon. I am getting really nervous..... We have been doing laundry, dishes, the check book, the yard, still packing and trying to get as much fun stuff in for Kaylee as possible. I really feel like we are missing something! Anyway, wish me luck. Chad will be sending updates and pic's as usual so all him if he is slacking.

Working on a full house

2007-06-06T10:31:00.000-07:00

Yes, that is correct or at least in Chad's head... In just a few short days we will be a family of 3 girls and 1 boy. My lovely husband, you know that sweet innocent guy as you all see him, decided to bring up the conversation of working on a third child!~ IS HE CRAZY! He is dead set on having all his children with in 2 years of each other. I seriously thought he was delusional when he was bringing this up BEFORE the second one was even here! Needless to say it will be a topic up for discussion later on in our lives and we do think we will have one more....maybe. Just thought this would make all the other mommies laugh. : )

Vroom Vroom...

2007-06-03T18:07:00.000-07:00

She loves her Vroom Vroom, its really funny to see her pucker her lips to say it too. Its funny to see other kids so scared of loud noises (lawn mowers, 4 wheelers, trucks etc) not Kaylee. She followed Chad around the entire yard while he was mowing. I guess she gets that from her Daddy

Water Bug

2007-06-02T15:35:00.001-07:00

Who knew Kaylee would love the water so much, she has gone to a new level as of yesterday. She now is completley not afraid of going under. She will not let you hold her in the baby pool and when she falls under water she just waits for you to save her. I am glad she holds her breathe but I really wish she had some kind of fear towards it. Here is a new pic from the Caroline's birthday party, once again she is showing her muscles. Goof Ball!

Kaylee's New Habit

2007-06-01T09:57:00.001-07:00

Well, As most of you know allready our little Kaylee never took to a pacifier, this was both good and bad at the time. Today I was sitting in the living room and out walks little miss priss with a pacifier that she riped off Brooklyn's diaper cake. It was so funny, she loved it, and she ran when I would come anywhere near her thinking I was going to take it from her. I will post a pick of our toddler with a binky, she looks pretty cute. Oh and don't worry...once I took out her yum yum's she forgot all about it!

Update on Brooklyn's Birthday

2007-05-31T13:09:00.000-07:00

We will be scheduled for induction on Friday June 8th. We will actually go in the night before (Thursday) for some things and have Pitocin the following morning. So we should have a new baby girl some time in the afternoon...hopefully.

OUR NEW BLOG

2007-05-30T18:54:00.000-07:00

WELCOME~

It has been over a year since I had a blog for our family and SOOO much has happened. Our family if fixing to grow so much larger and very soon. June 7th or 8th to be exact. Kaylee has been growing like a weed we just recently went to her 15 month check up and found out she is 90% on weight and 55% on height.. She has the legs and belly to back that up! She has been changing daily, she just recently started saying "I LOVE YOU" and showing off her muscles. Both are to cute for words. I will try to get a video of both to post soon. As for Chad and I we are getting very anxious about our new addition to the family coming so soon. I have finally slowed down on work so I can have more time with Kaylee and get things ready. Chad has also tried to spend as much time with Kaylee and I before the big day. We just recently went to the lake over Memorial Weekend for Caroline's birthday. We had so much fun, its always nice to get away and the lake is so peaceful.

Brooklyn Mae Davis~ Today we found out she is weighing about 8lbs 3 oz...now this came from the same Dr who said Kaylee was going to be 7 lbs, so we take it with a grain of salt. Everything has looked great this pregnancy, we have had a couple scares and issues but everything has worked out perfectly. We will be induced again at 37 weeks (NEXT WEEK!) and tomorrow will find out the exact date we will go in.

Anyway...I am glad to be able to update all our family and friends with current pic's and info, sorry it took so long.
