2011 Gingerbread Houses

Just wanted to share some cute pictures during our annual gingerbread house making night. We did our houses last weekend and had a blast. The boys sure are getting independent, we hardly helped them at all. Everyone's houses turned out great and i know we all had fun making them!

Jake's preschool program 2011

Last Thursday night Jake's preschool put on a special Christmas program. It was quite the event. It was a packed house and all the kiddo's really did a great job. We may have promised Jake ice cream if we saw him singing. We saw his mouth move maybe once or twice but honestly that was more than i thought we would see. He mostly just sat there kicked back in his chair and swung his legs up and down. He didn't seem nervous at all, just smiled or looked bored most of the time. It was fun to see him in that element and we did end up going for ice cream after it was over. He's our special little guy and we were very proud of him.

Walking to the stage...

Probably annoyed that i was constantly pointing the camera at him...

Thanksgiving and Santa Visit 2011

Despite the fact that we were not able to make the trip to Utah for Thanksgiving we still had a nice Thanksgiving break. We were sad that the trip to Utah didn't happen but with all the sickness that was floating around in our house we thought it would be better to stay home this year. We had a nice Thanksgiving dinner and a great holiday weekend getting our home ready for Christmas.

We even made time to go see Santa before the holiday rush hit. We love seeing Santa at Bass Pro, they have such a fun area for the kids and lots of fun things to see. After the boys saw Santa we asked Jake if he told Santa what he wanted for Christmas. He replied with a very confused look on his face "Yes I did, but he did not give me my presents!?" I guess he is into instant gratification. We may need to explain the whole wait until Christmas morning thing to him again."

Happy Birthday Cody!!

Well we can't believe that Cody is 7 years old. He's growing up way to fast for our liking but i guess there's not a whole lot we can do about it. Cody had a great birthday this year and got a lot of very fun presents. 

He got a skateboard with the gift card from Aunt Becky and Richard, they went to the store on Sunday morning before him and Robert were going to go quail hunting because he said he wanted to get a bb gun with the gift card.....Robert was very sad that the skateboard won out instead. He says he is asking Santa for a bb gun now for Christmas so we'll see. I have a feeling he will get one even if he doesn't.

Lego Ninjaga alarm clock from Grandma Judy and Grandpa Dave

 

On Monday, his actual birthday me, Jake and Aunt Dayna brought him a Burger King lunch. It was fun to eat lunch with him as always.

Monday night we went out to eat at Red Robin, it was very yummy. After we got home he opened up presents from us and Grandma and Papa Davis

He LOVES his new scooter from Grandma and Papa Davis, he had to take it for a spin before bed.

All in all it was a great birthday weekend for a special birthday boy. He is a great kid and we are very proud of him and how well he does in school and everything else. We love you very much Cody Earl Davis!

Cody's 7th Birthday Party

Today we celebrated Cody's 7th birthday party with his friends at an arcade. All the boys had a blast. I'm so glad that Cody has such good friends. We were also excited to have Aunt Dayna here for the celebrations. I think she had fun today too. Here are some pictures from our day at the arcade...

 

Halloween 2011

We hope everyone had a great Halloween. We had a lot of fun again this year. Our pumpkins turned out great and Cody even designed and carved his very own pumpkin this year. He was very proud of himself and his pumpkin. Here are some pictures of us hard at work and our finished masterpieces....

We went trick-or-treating with our favorite girls from down the street. 

We had a very cute crew again this year.

The pirate loot!!

Can't wait for CANDY!!

The excitement is building at our house. The boys can hardly wait. Halloween just can't come soon enough. We have two very cool pirates at our house and they can't wait to hit the neighborhood for as much candy as they can carry. Here are a few pictures of the boys in their costumes, we had a pre Halloween photo shoot as always, enjoy.....

On Thursday Jake's preschool had their class party. The kids had lots of fun and I was glad that i was able to join in on the fun. They tick or treated around the gym and then had special Halloween treats in their room.

Parade down the hall to their classroom...

This was their snack prayer, it's pretty darn cute!
