Well if this isn't a pile of complete random craziness
I don't know what is.
I did the monthly iPhone dump to the computer and realized
I had a few goodies to make note of for memory sake... (mine)
Above we took my dad his birthday gift.
We love love love our POPS
---
To his dad and I this was a 'cut' but it was actually a
trim and shape up. We just love his hair long.
All there is to it. and yes I've dropped my phone so many
times it only half works. boo

Jon's mom makes fudge and sugar cookies each year around the holidays and
we all enjoy eating until our heart is contently full of sugar!
We have kind of made this a tradition for her to come over
and help us make cookies. This year it was a little rushed
but Kellen enjoyed making shapes and had a fun time.
He made a long oval one and called it 'the bean' .
I wont say what Gramma and I thought it really looked like
:)=

Next we have another fun play date with
Graham and Liam. These three together
are too funny.
They love to play, love to eat, and love to play
WHILE they eat. ha Above they think
it is hilarious that they are putting their
pretzel sticks in their straws and trying to
drink out of them.
KIDZ

Next our boys are loaded up with new Nerf vests
and new Nerf guns to add to the household
collection. At the Davis house you will
find nicks on the walls, paint chips, the occasional
something broken, scuffs, etc etc..
We enjoy our indoor Nerf wars a little too much!
:)
Gallery wraps, panels, tin, all of the latest and greatest
photographic art is amazing and catches my eye.
Unfortunately now is just not the time to invest
bookuu bucks into them. So fortunately I came
across this as an alternative idea. I can not take
credit for the idea. Some friends had done this
for some business art, and also some home
large prints. I just decided I would try it as a collage.
Very inexpensive DIY option to produce the gallery wrap
look.
Really loving the way it turned out.
The hubs and muah had NYE to ourselves.
Our littles enjoyed a slumber party with their cousins
and we had a kid free night.. what did we do you ask ??
Stayed home and watched movies.
awwwwww, piece and quiet!
:)
We got 2014 off to a great start with some outdoor b-ball fun.
Kellen is an outdoor kid and would
stay outside if we would let him, but Jax can get way too caught up in electronics.
We try to encourage outdoor fun and play, just like when
he is not here. Jon had us all running laps and doing drills!
New year, fresh start. Though we have gotten off to a 'everyones been coughing
and feeling sick start, we have high hopes for what this year will bring
regarding health and hopefully a move!
woot
Another thing I'm going to work on in 2014 along with
my own health and wellness is giving
my friendships a little TLC.
Life moves fast and with everyone going in their own
little routes sometimes way too much time can
go by before we cross paths.
I've realized that I have a very long list of 'friends', but
my list of close friends in my circle is pretty small.
I've always believed that if you mean enough to people
then they will contact you, get ahold of you, reach out to you..
but sadly if I set back and waited for this to happen, I wouldn't
hear from very many people :(
Maybe reaching a point in life where I realize I want Kellen
to know true friendship and be able to remain lifelong
friends with his childhood playmates, is making me realize that I'm going
to have to be proactive in ensuring that this happens for him.
Leading by example and not just hope he does things differently.
All too often I get my feelings hurt way too easily for feeling
left out or not a 'part of the group'
I can not control if my friendship is not reciprocated. All I know is that
life is too short to hold so many grudges, fill yourself with
animosity, and find it so easy to disregard people.
The list is long and varying on the
groups and walks of life that we've met, but
I do cherish friends and plan to make a point to make
sure they are each aware of it.
Here's to a fresh start to a new year
2014 we are ready for you!
