We'll just call this the catch-all post since I just realized the last time
I was on here was over the Summer. oops
Here's to playing catch-up on what the Davis crew has been
up to over the past few months:
Kellen started 2-day a week preschool. Dropping him
off the first day was surreal and I wasn't a big fan of it. ha
Seeing his first school picture was fun though. He loves his teacher
and his class is a pretty tight nit group of friends. The only
part he continues to dislike is the NAP.
Oh how I wish I could let him know how someday he will
long for the days he could take a nap in the middle of the day!
We are having no luck in the baby department. The stork must be
off duty... sigh... so this has been a year of realizing my
'baby' is a school boy now. Things like multiple Halloween costumes,
toys every trip to the store... I've just been enjoying it all since apparently
it's going to be my only go at it. boo
He couldn't really decide what to be for Halloween this year so we just go several things.
The common theme in his choices though, is always a hero that fights
the bad guys. This kid loves to keep people safe by fighting the bad dudes.
and this momma loves that her boy is a protector!
The 6th Annual Davis Halloween Party was a fun time for all.
We loved having some new faces in the mix.
I adore this picture.
4 perfect smiles and wearing each others weapons and
masks.. priceless picture. love it.
And my girls were amazing this year.
The queen of hearts and the hunter and the deer.
love love love
We decided to be quirky as the Mustachio family.
It was a hit with the boys until it came time for the actual pictures and then
they were not too thrilled. Don't feel too bad for them, they wore this
for literally 10 seconds and then changed into the
costumes of their choice.
Actual Halloween we went door-to-door in Gramma's
neighborhood and then ended up at the Fall Fest at
our church. Cold but fun night.
Grandma Ida had a birthday. She liked Kellen's green Fastlanes
monkey when he had it one day, so we opted to win her a red one.
She still has it and will keep it until it pops. ha
It's been a year for fun firsts for Kellen.
His first school field trip was to the Corn Maze.
It's always fun seeing your child interact with his friends
and watching their little friendships develop.
Here Patience climbed up in the truck and was
giving good bye hugs.
These two buddies are too cute.
Next was his first school performance. The Thanksgiving
program. He was an Indian.
The grands came out to watch him be a wild Indian.
He did great and was happy to wave at his
adoring fans.
The pumpkin patch with the fam... Jon with Pam and Dana.
Our old Sunday school class at church, getting together for
progressive dinner followed up with White Elephant
gift exchanged. Fun group, fun night.
Another first for the K-man...
His first deer hunting experience happened this Fall.
The boys got up at 4a.m. and headed out to the woods.
After eating some waffles and giving mom a hug, He was raring to go!
Mid-day they still didn't have a deer, but this guy was NOT
ready to call it quits. So Jon took him into town and they
got some lunch, and then he wanted to go back out, so they did.
He crashed out by 4 sitting in his chair. about the
time a deer came up and Jon got it.
He was stoked!! they both were!!
Kellen enjoyed every bit of it until it came time to handle the
'deer business' and then he said it was gross and
refused to take a picture.. ha
Maybe he'll come around to that part, but as for loving the woods and hunting, he is alllll about it. they have gone back a few times since.
He thinks deer meat is good. (that makes one of us.. don't tell Jon)
The Jaxsonator blows through every other weekend
and we try to enjoy our time with him.
Lately its been lots of shopping and lots of Fastlane trips while
he is here.
A few weeks back we went to visit Clay and Rach in Little Rock.
Sadly this snapshot from Clay's phone has been our only family picture
from this Fall. Maybe next year we will get them scheduled better.
This Fall in our area has been beautiful and we are beyond blessed to
lead our lives.
From the D family to yours, count your blessings and name them
one by one.
