Davis is 5 months old!

Man how time flies!  It's hard to believe this little guy is already 5 months old!  He brings such joy to our lives.  It's hard to imagine life without him.  He's so busy in his little life...always looking at any and everything around him.  He thinks anything you have, he should have so he reaches for it immediately.  He gives us the best smiles and his laugh is so contagious!  Ohhhh I could just give him "sugars" all day!

Easter

Well the Easter Bunny came to visit Davis...and he was a little confused with all the new stuff :-) Maybe it was because it was a bit early but none the less he plays with every toy and stuffed animal.

We played for just a little bit and then it was time to get ready for church...How fortunate we are to have the Savior in our lives and are grateful for the sacrifices he made for us.  Happy Easter

Family, Family, Family

Well Walt and Rachel and the kiddos came out to visit for the weekend and we strolled around town checking out the trains and such...they left on Sunday and the same day my parents, Anna, Eloise and Bryn came in town to visit for the week!  I was sooooo happy to see them!  Davis was just in "people" overload!  I think he loved having so much going on in the house...
We went to the park to swing and play (or chase for Eloise) with the ducks

Davis loves his Bryn!

Eloise was sooo busy!

And Bryn was capturing all the fun with her camera

We also went to Collierville and the trains were open this time but I didn't bring my camera...We also ate at this restaurant called The Silver Caboose which has a room where a couple of train run on a track above your head.  Such a cute set up and the food is pretty darn good too!

We even went to Graceland

Mom, Bryn, Anna & Eloise

Davis' first time at Graceland - I don't think he really cared

We had so much fun!  We made Easter shaped sugar cookie and tried to see the ducks at The Peabody Hotel - we just missed the ducks getting on the elevator but we had fun anyway.  We had a lot of downtime at the house as well but there was plenty to do.

I was sooooo sad the day they left!  I love my family and was so glad they were able to come see us for the week.  Thanks Mom, Dad, Anna, Bryn and Eloise!  Love you!

Walt, Rachel and the kids

Walt and Rachel took time out to come visit us for a weekend.  Of course Gary had a laundry list of items he needed Walt to help him with around the house, but we still found time to explore the area.

We drove down to Collierville (which is just about 5 minutes east of us) and checked out the town square.  Rebecca and Emma were curious checking out the trains...I was bummed because you are able to walk through the old trains however they aren't open on weekends (we were there on Saturday)!  How crazy is that!  

Bart was just chilling in his stroller being such a good boy!

Of course, to Davis,  car seat = sleep

Davis got plenty of play time with his cousins and we couldn't have been happier to have them come out and visit.

These boys are only 11 days apart...yeah Davis is a big boy :-)

Texas Trip

We were fortunate enough to take some time to head out to Texas to see Gary's family.  His sister Missy was blessing her sweet baby Alora so we thought (or Gary did), great excuse for a road trip.  Let me tell ya, I'm not a lover of road trips and especially one that is 12+ hours with a 4 1/2 month old but, Davis was a trooper!

We did stop in Dallas on our way to San Antonio and stay with Gary's old MTC companion, Matt Parker and his super cute family (they have 9 mo old twins - just the cutest babies and NO I didn't take a pic - shoot!)

Before we made it down to San Antonio we stopped off at The Sixth Floor Museum (JFK shooting gallery).  Such a sad museum to walk through - surreal

Of Course we met back up with Matt and Tiffany at Chuys for a little mexican fare!  We LOVE that place and there isn't one in Memphis!

We finally made it to San Antonio (well they live on the outskirts) and met up with Grandma and Grandpa...Davis was smothered with loves but he wasn't minding it one bit!  

This is a GREAT picture!

He also had plenty of Daddy time and he was loving it! He always has that hand in his mouth!

While we were there we attended a baby shower for Missy and Alora (Ally), had a birthday dinner for Sterling, his brother, Missy, Dani, Melody and Grandma, sang happy birthday and had cupcakes...it was a fun time.

I didn't get the best picture of Ally - I'm horrible with pictures!  I never remember to take them!

Ally is such a sweet baby!!

Since Gary's parents were wanting a little "Davis time" (or we were hoping :-)) we were able to sneak off to see The Hunger Games.  That was the first movie we have seen together since Davis...

The drive home Sunday was brutal but we made it!
