Happy Birthday Uncle Bubbi!

We hope that you have a wonderful birthday. Your nephew loves you very much!

Davis

Davis has been saying all sorts of things lately and I keep thinking "I need to document this!" So for myself here goes:

The other night at the dinner table we were getting ready to say our prayer. Normally, I say the first few words and then he copies me until we are done. Well, he started the prayer and said it WORD FOR WORD without having to have me say it to him first. We all nearly fell over! 

He loves to grab his books now and "read" them to me. 

If I wait too long to get him from his nap or in the morning I hear "Mommy, mommy come get me, mommy?"

"One more minute mommy" usually in reference to the playground at Chick Fil A

If we ask a question like "Who wants to ride the train" he responds "Me! I do!" always says both :)

Jason was driving with Davis in the backseat. Jason sneezed and heard Davis "bless you Daddy, bless you!"

The minute Davis gets in the car he says "Elmo please daddy!" and if it is not loud enough he will say "turn it ON" to which we will say no, what do you say and he will respond "turn it UP please"

I tried to get him out of his chair to take him to school one morning "Mommy, I'm not finished!"

Hunt, Texas 2012

We made our way down to Hunt, Texas for our second annual trip to the river. The Texas Hill Country is my happy place! As soon as we hit the hills outside of San Antonio I can immediately feel my stress level decreasing. We had the best time once again and felt so blessed to be there with such great friends. 

We go with no plans and spend time swimming in the river, fishing, eating and just playing around. 

Here is Davis and Daddy before they headed out fishing with Davis' new fishing pole:

Hanging out on the river:

 Mom's hour (the best hour of every day). Thanks to Liz for bringing the relaxation station it worked perfect. And thanks to Julie for swimming us wimps upstream!

 Saturday night we headed to Crider's for dinner and the rodeo. Unfortunately, the rodeo got rained out but we got dinner and some running around before the rain hit:

 Davis was not so sure about the horses:

 But loved the bulls:

We spent time coloring with our friends:

 Playing on the deck that overlooked the river:

 Group photo of the sweet kids. It was nearly impossible to get a group photo of the five of them!

 Unless they were watching tv!

 Photo of them as we said good-bye to Toad Hall:

 Photo from last year's trip--can't believe how much they have all grown in just a year:

 And a three hour nap on the way home!

We had the very best time and I am already counting down until next year....

Happy 4th of July!

Happy Birthday Papa!

Papa wanted ChuckECheese for his birthday so we dragged Davis along. Davis LOVED the "mouse" and wanted to follow the mouse all around the place. He loved it when the mouse sang and played the piano. He also loved going down the slide--he might have had a slight mishap when he got lost in the maze of tunnels but a very nice little girl helped him find his way.

 Davis and the birthday boy!

Happy Birthday Papa! We love you!

family golf tourney

Last Sunday we played in the club's family golf tournament. We had a great time and Davis loved using his new clubs.

 Check out this gator that was spotted out on the course:

Friday

Who doesn't love Friday?! Especially when you grill out and finish off with dessert:
