DA DA DA DAAAAA!!!!!

I know, I know....I can't believe it either. here we are, posting again. For those of you that still happen to frequent this page to see if we have updated it....we say thank you for your continued perseverance. There have been some recent events in our lives worth posting about, so i figured I would post some pictures and blog for a brief moment. This past Memorial Day, we took the kids and had some great family time at the Dinosaur museum. Gamma went with us and was the lucky one to be able to chase Davis around the joint and all but pulling the bones down. Thanks gamma for being such a good helper. Abby was also a good big sister and was happy to show Davis the cool bones and such. Cousin Mike was hanging out with us over the weekend and he even took his turn chasing Davis too!


We had a blast having Mike stay with us and needless to say, well the museum was glad to see us go.

On another note, we had a special visitor all the way from Australia. We has Sister Quail, a Sister in my mission, and her cute kids visit us. They brought us some fun treats that I miss from Australia that included Tim Tams and Top Deck chocolate bars. She also brought the kids some cute t-shirts that they wear every day! Special thanks to Mom and Bob for being gracious hosts and preparing a great meal! Here are some fun pictures we took while she was here.

BROKEN COMPUTER!!

I promise that I am not ignoring the blog on purpose. Our computers power supply went out in our computer which in turn then fried our hard drive. The Computer Geek at the store told me that in order to fix it we would need an entirely new computer. RIGHT!! Well my good friend and Brother of the Belt has told me that he is giving me his gently used computer after giving his wife a new one for her birthday. THANKS CHARLES AND MINDY!! As soon as we get our "NEW/gently used" computer up and running, we will be back on the Blogging Band Wagon! New posts to come when that happens! Love to All!!

The Pumpkin Carve

It's that time of year again....to cut the tops off pumpkins and dig out their insides. There is nothing like getting pumpkin seeds all over your carpet! Ahhh the sweet traditions we keep alive! Abby is very proud of her baby pumpkin that she carved all by her self. As you can tell from the pictures, Kayce as always went for the more challenging design...If you can't tell or do not have young kids, that is Sponge Bob carved into the pumpkin. Abby was very excited about that. As for me well, I just had fun watching the girls get into their pumpkins so I went with the standard Jack-O'Lantern. As for Davis, he was more interested in eating the stuff inside the pumpkins and pushing the chairs over.

KK's B-Day

We all had a fun day with KK celebrating her birthday. We went to CPK (California Pizza Kitchen) with Grammy Vicki and had a yummy lunch. The rest of the day was business as usual until that evening when the kids and I took Kayce to dinner at Fuddruckers. Gamma Mitzi was able to join us and it was fun to have her along too! Other than the cold rainy day it had been, it was fun to share this special day with Kayce.

Family

Thanks to all the family that came to Davis' party! We got some fun pictures of those that came. Here are a FEW that we took.

The Post Party, Party

Although Davis enjoyed his cupcake at the birthday party, time was short and we felt that we deprived him of one of life's great experiences. So, we frosted another cupcake and let him dive into another one. This was the "Kodak Moment" that we were wanting.....

Davis is now ONE!

It is becoming clear that I may never keep up with this blog. I am working some long hours and it is very hard to keep this thing going. Having said that our little boy turned ONE this past week. Trying to schedule his party around my work schedule was a slight bump in the road, however, Davis made it clear to us that he would clear his schedule for this party any day we could have it. We had a little family gathering at the Pizza Factory on Saturday afternoon. As you can see from the pictures below, Kayce and Mitzi worked very hard on the birthday cake for Davis. Other family members worked very hard on the fun presents that Davis got to open. The hit of the afternoon was the Lawn Mower that Grammy and Pop-Pop gave him. He mowed the entire restaurant.

Davis' favorite part of the afternoon was getting to try his cake. This is the first time he has had sugar and he loved every bite of that butter cream icing.

Bath Time

The best part of our visit to the Curtis house was bath time. Abby and Davis had a great time bathing with their cousins. They all wanted to put their hair in Mohawks, and it only got more elaborate from there.

Fun with Cousins

This past week we had the opportunity to spend some time with the Curtis clan while Randy and Heather gallivanted around New York City. (Hence the reason we have not posted for a week or so.) We did however do our best to have some fun while they were gone! One of our events was bowling at Fat Cats. Here are some pictures of us at the Bowling Alley. As you can see Mitch was getting some expert advice on exactly how you play the game! Davis was far more concerned about guarding every ones shoes and playing the big video games.
