My Sweet Kids

2012-01-12T15:12:00.013-06:00

Happy New Year 2012!! I cannot believe I have not posted in well over a YEAR!!

And no wonder why.

The house: we have taken a ton of wallpaper down, painted almost every room, hung curtains, updated the kitchen, added onto the front porch, added a flowerbed, and are in the planning stages of the master bath renovation.

The first kid: Jaxon is 5 now, will be 6 in a few weeks and just started kindergarden!!! Jaxon's teacher has nothing but great things to say about him and we couldn't be prouder!! He is learning so much a loves it. He goes all day!! The first day of school when we left him we told him how much fun it was going to be, when I picked him up he jumped in the car and proclaimed "I did not have fun, Mom!!". With the insanely long wait picking him up, we let him start riding the bus and he LOVES it!! He played soccer this fall and last spring, he loved practice, but when it was time for the games every Saturday he would run in the other direction of the ball. So, this semester he is signed up for Hip Hop, will share those stories later. Jaxon also got glasses, he looks so cute in them :-)

The other kid: Annee is 2 1/2!!!! Seriously, where does the time go? AND such a girl!! So glad God blessed us with both!! Last year was her first year of school and absolutely adored Miss Cayla; we did too ;-) This year she is at a new school and loves all the kids and her 3 teachers. She is my little cuddle bunny and my night owl (especially when she has a nap). She is growing up way too fast, they both are!! She also started dance class... we are in a mommy and me class and I am having just as much fun!!

The mommy: Last year I started teaching the MDO at church and loved the 3-4 babies and this year so blessed to have Tiffany come in and help me, we normally have 7-9 babies and we are having so much fun!! We are going to add another day so we can focus on the older girls to have a true "pre-school" setting. And my business Style Reflections by Lynne Marie (http://stylereflectionsbylynnemarie.blogspot.com/) has kept me crazy busy. I cannot believe I have been in business for almost 2 years!! Style Reflections has been at Friend's Market Boutique in Guthrie, OK since then and for about 6 months I was at Feathered Nest Market, but didn't fair so well there. Style Reflections is thriving at Friend's Market and so blessed to be a part of such a great business!! I have great plans for 2012!! I took the kids to Ohio for 3 weeks this summer, we had a great time with Granny and Papa, the Arnolds and the Fellousizs, Aunt Claudell, Aunt Vickie and Uncle Jack. I also got to spend a fun filled evening at a mini high school reunion. And as most of you know, I am a Halloween freak and the past few Halloweens the church has had a trunk or treat, what a blast!! In 2010 we were Hansel and Gretel and the witch with the house made of candy and last year we made the car into a sushi roll (not showing in photo) and we were a Geisha and a Sumo wrestler.

The dad: Mark was having eye issues in the spring and went to the eye dr. Come to find out he had a torn retina, so had to have surgery. The surgery did not work and he had to have another surgery. He was down for several weeks. Mark was offered a sales position and he decided to accept (kind of hard to decline when the big bosses request him to move up:-) He has been very excited about the change. Santa's helper came dressed as Santa came a little early Christmas Eve to deem Mark an honorary elf, the kids got a new "park" and Mark put it together just a week ago... the kids LOVE it and the weather had been nice enough for them to play on it for several days!!

At the end of the summer we took a trip to Miami without the kids, which was wonderful!! We laid on the beach, ate at an incredible place in South Beach, snorkeled at the best place off Key Largo. It was too short, but already planning a trip down there again with or without the kids :-) The holidays were full of fun with many parties, Christmas Eve and Day with family and ringing in the New Year with the sweet Pyrons.

HOME SWEaT HOME

Good is so good!!!! What a whirlwind August and September. Mark was asked to go to Maylasia for week for work and while he was away I finish staging the house. The sign went up in the yard and in three days we got two offers!!!! WOW!!! We weren't quite ready for such a quick good-bye!!! With that, the panick set in because we set the closing date for Sept 26th, leaving us about a month to find something else with limited time to house hunt. We looked at many yucky houses in our price range with much disappointment. Then one magical day, 3 weeks before closing, the Lord answered our prayers. Our new house isn't in the exact context that I dreamt it, but it is what we asked for....a living room and dining room up front, the kitchen and family room together, the bedrooms all together and a mudroom!!! We do have to tear down a few walls of wallpaper, change out the kitchen cabinet doors and countertops, paint, replace light fixtures, and renovating the master bath. A little sweat never hurt us and soon it will be HOME SWEeET HOME. So, almost all of the boxes are emptied and the walls are slowly being painted!!!

Jaxon is enjoying school and Miss Julia this year and impressing us every day with how fast he learns and how silly he can be. Annee is another kid who impresses us daily..... she started crawling at 6 1/2 m!!!! And recently she has been pulling herself up and stands forever there and moves around that way!!!

In October we had a family date to the pumpkin patch with our favorite Kochers!!! Jaxon fed the farm animals, chased some goats, had a pony ride and picked a pumpkin. What a perfect day!!!

For Halloween Jaxon was Dennis the Menice and Annee was a snowbunny :-)

This month we have been visiting family and friends in OHIO!!! We have been busy about every other day!!! Mark has been a doll while we have been gone and taking care a honeydo list. I can wait to see how wonderful the house is going to look!!!

Well, lots of plans for the house in December and cannot wait!!!

2009-09-04T21:14:00.004-05:00

Soon to be homeless.

Well, God is crazy amazing, we got the house ready to sell, when the sign hit the ground we had 6 showings in 2 days, on day three we had two offers on the table. Now the joys of all of the appraisals, the inspectors, the repairs, oh, yes, and finding a new home have began!!!! Prayers are going up continuously that we make the right choice in a new home and all of this selling business goes smoothly!!! I hope we enjoy our cardboard box, haha!!

Bye Bye Beautiful House

Jaxon started school this week!!! I know this year is going to be amazing for him. Miss Julia is going to teach him so much. He has also taken a liking to photography... Who knows what will come of that!!!

Jaxon's 1st day of school!!

Annee is 5 m this month!!! Her little personality is sure coming out... she is so happ and flirty as her big brother, I think we are in trouble, two onry kiddos, got to love it!!! She is on the go, no, she isn't crawling yet, but she rolls and scoots everywhere!!!

Annee being Annee

What fun my kids are!!!

2009-07-10T00:51:00.006-05:00

The summer is in full swing and flying by too fast!!!! We are doing great and enjoying the summer with much fun!!! We go to Auntie's house regularly to play with the girls in the pool (they are growing up soooo fast.... soon Erin will be able to babysit!!!)

Jaxon and I have a reg. standing date every Friday at the movies, unless it is a girly movie, then I have invited Erin or Katie to join me :-) Jaxon is such a big boy and is amazingly doing things for himself (like getting a juice box from the fridge and brushing his teeth, etc). And he has conquered potty training during the day!!! He is doing great, and I am so proud of him!!! Jaxon makes us smile with some of the things he comes up with..... Jaxonese: Bumply - English: Bumpy, Jaxonese: Shake shake shake, shake your body - English:..... shake your booty. One day we went to Sonic and got shakes and he took his and shook the cup around and said, "Mommy my shake isn't shakin'". Silly boy!!! And we love him so, even when he is testing us.

Annee is full of smiles and giggles!!! I can't hardly believe she is already 3 m old!!! She is just a little doll and I LOVE dressing her in girly clothes (although she doesn't have many because she is still so tiny.... some of her 0-3m clothes are still too big if you can believe that). This Sunday we are having their 3 yr and 3 m pics done... I cannot wait to see how they turn out, what fun!!!!

The 4th brought Damon, Lesli and Brayden into town.... what a treat!!!! I love them so much and the boys just adore each other..... they do get on each others' nerves, but who doesn't. We had a wonderful time playing at the pool and visiting with them!!! I also got my first ride on Mark's motorcycle!!! Too fun!!!!

The time has also brought us to the decision to pack up and move... no, not far, just to a better school district. We are praying hard to have the Lord lead us in the right direction, but we know it has to be someplace else other than where we are. We would love to build and had a meeting with a builder tonight, and there is much to consider and lots of planning, etc. We plan to meet with another builder to see what they can do and then go from there. Then there is the selling of this house.... oh how I am going to cry, I just love this house and we put so much sweat and tears into it.... we gave it plenty of TLC!!! So, needless to say, we need to get it ready to put on the market and hope to have everything done by the first of the year and then hopefully shortly after we will be ready to move into our new home :-)

2009-06-09T10:52:00.003-05:00

The summer has finally arrived!! School is out for Jaxon and the potty training is in full swing!! He is doing great, but of course he has had a few accidents and it is OK. He is adjusting to Annee a little better each day and I am feeling better too :-) Jaxon loves to play in the sprinkler and with his T-ball, he is actually really good :-) Annee's trick of the month is her beautiful smile!!! We discovered she has a cute little dimple like mine and her Granny's.... too fun!! Jaxon loves to make her smile with his goofy faces.

In May Mark went on a guys Ozark Mts. and rode through the hills every day!!!

We added another memer of the family, Zuko, the fiesty Siamese cat. He aolutly loves Jaxon and so much fun. He's very playful and a fun boy!!!

We don't have any plans this summer, other than to get through it :-)

2009-04-22T21:14:00.012-05:00

Wow, it has been a full year since I posted last!!! Lots have happened in that year.

In May Mark drove me and Jaxon to Ohio for the month so we could help Mom and Dad with their spring cleaning and planting. We had a wonderful time helping and visiting everyone!! While we were there we went with Mom and Dad down to Virginia to visit my Aunt Wendy and Edloe and Aunt Vickie and Uncle Jack decided to join us there.... what a great time all around!!!

The summer was filled with fun at Auntie's house swimming.... Jaxon loved the water this year. We also got the news that Rylan and Kalei were expecting their first one (due in January), yippy!!!

The fall was also filled with fun. Jaxon started dayschool at NW CoC. He has met lots of friends and have learned so much. Also, he attends Mother's Day at Mayfair and hangs out with Miss Laura on Fridays!!! We found out some exciting news.... we were expecting too (due in April)!!! For Halloween we we circus freaks, I was the tightrope walker, Mark was the beared lady, and Jaxon (winning first place at the fall festival at church) was the strongman :-)

In December we took our first official family vacation to Disney World!! We got to see Mickey, Minnie, Lighting McQueen and Goofy. Jaxon rode his first roller coaster and Mark spinned us in the teacups till we thought we were going to throw up. We also went to the beach and saw Kimmie and her kids. What a wonderful time we had!!! We made home in time just for Christmas and Santa brought lots of fun things for Jaxon. Damon and Lesli and Brayden came to visit too.

January brought a new little Kocher.... Ke'Alohilani (heavenly sunshine) aka Alhoi (sunshine), and what a little China doll!!!

In February Jaxon turned 3!!! We had a fun celebration with friends and family!!! Mark surprised me with wonderful Valentine treats!!! I recieved gorgeous flowers from my little man, Jaxon and then yummy chocolate dipped strawberries, an incredible massage and a wonderful romantic dinner downtown.... what a treat to be spoiled and so loved!!!

March brought us one month closer to our newest addition (oh ya, we found out we were having a girl, with happy tears). On March 27th we actually celebrated our 10th year anniversary with a date (first time ever on the actual day). Then four days later our sweet Annabelle Mae was born.... March 31, 2009, 9:08 am, 7lbs 5 oz, 19 3/4"... and what a cutie!!!

Mom and Dad came out to help me with Jaxon and Annee so I could rest. We colored Easter eggs and had a great time watching Jaxon hunt for the eggs. And now that brings us up to date.... and Annee is three weeks old!!!! What a funfilled year!!

2008-04-27T22:04:00.004-05:00

Not much excitement going on here in the Davis household. Mark and I celebrated our 9th anniversary and Valentine's Day at the Museum Cafe for a wonderful dinner with friends and the Michael Buble concert (Mark's first :-) We have joined a gym in hopes to lose the baby fat we gained before and during my pregnancy :-) We are going on week three!!!

At the end of March, Jaxon and I went to California qith Kristen to visit our friends, Rebecca, Martin adn Tristen. What a horrific plane ride getting there!!! Jaxon and I got up at 4:30 am OKC time and didn't hit the pillow in LA till 3:30 am OKC time.. Jaxon was such a sport, but I think that will be the last time we fly in the spring. We did have a awesome time once we got there, great company, gorgeaous scenery, good food, it was just too short!!

Jaxon Happenings: He is such a sweetheart most of the time (he does have his moments like at diaper changing time an when he needs to play outside). He is such a silly boy... I have no idea where he gets that from :-PHe is very good about saying Thank You and You are Welcome. When you call his name he has been saying "what" like a little stinker. I guess we must say it that way when someone calls our name... oops. I am sure he will pick up alot of stuff like that as we go along... we need to learn to be polite :-) His Meme and Papa let us take the swingset from thier backyard so he can play in our backyard so I can keep up with the flowerbeds :-) Perfect!!!

We pray you are all well and enjoy our notes. Sorry I don't update more often, but I would surely bore you if I blogged every day or even once a week :-) We aren't that exciting :-)

2008-02-23T01:55:00.003-06:00

Jaxon is 2!!!!!

I can hardly believe Jackie is 2, but he is. He is always on the gogogo!!!! Nonstop till I make him take a nap or got to bed. We have so much fun!!!

At the end of January we went to Phoenix to visit Damon, Lesli and Brayden. While we were there we also go to see Rebecca, Tristan and Rebecca's mom, Judy. We had a ball: we went to the park several times (when it didn't rain), we went to the zoo, and we played lots of Rock Band.

When we got back Jaxon turned 2 and we had a B-Day party for him.

Enjoy the pics :-)

Happy Holidays!!!

(no Jaxon didn't go with us: this was our holiday card :-)

We had a wonderful holiday season with the gorgeous (the first day) icestorm that took away our cable, phone and internet for a week.... uhg!!

Then Jaxon got to visit Santa and Mrs. Claus, what fun!!!

Christmas Eve we went to Aunt Andrea's and spent the night (since we don't have a chimney (we are going to have to find a way to get Santa into our house :-) Jaxon also did a somersaut!!!! What fun that was watching him!!! On Christmas morning Jaxon was surprised at the push pedal car and the sit and spin that waited for him from St. Nick!!! We spent the rest of the morning and early afternoon with Carol and John, and then headed back to Andrea's.

On the 11th Mark turned 35 and on the 27th I turned 25 :-) Really 35, but I am going backwards (sometimes I confuse myself :-)

Jaxon tricks: He is a little chatterbug, wonder where he gets that from... well anyway, his chatting isn't always understandable, but when he likes something he'll let you know.... he loves apples and he will see one in the fridge and say appmmmm... he also loves bananas and he gets all toungue tided with all of the an's :-) too fun!! Enjoy the clip :-)

Happy New Year and I will update you in the year 2008!!!!

2007-11-03T19:58:00.002-05:00

Happy Halloween!!!!

Jaxon had a fun time this year for Halloween.... We went to the pumpkin patch with Macy and Charlie to pick a pumpkin, take a hay ride, ride a pony and feed a few animals. He also went to the church's fall festival and had a ball with Kalei and Rylan playing games and going trick or treating. As you can see he was an adorable Charlie Brown.

Mark and I also had a Halloween party for the church group... we all had a good time :-)

2007-10-06T21:19:00.001-05:00

Hawaii!!!

What a wonderful time we had in Hawaii!!!!! Jaxon stayed with Auntie Andrea, Uncle Larry and the girls and had a great time :-) Mimi Carol and PaPa John and Kalei and Rylan helped out too :-) We went on a cruise and saw a little bit at four of the islands... just enough to make us want to go back :-) On the cruise we met two awesome couples.... Donna and Paul from Austin and Paige and Charles from Alabama.

(Clockwise: Paul, Charles, Paige, Lynne, Mark, and Donna)

Our cruise started dropped us off first in Hilo on the Big Island. This is were we met The Gang :-) Our excursion took us all over.... Black Sand Beach, Lava Tree Park, back roads to a beach.

(Black Sand Beach)

Then we went to Maui. We went snorkeling with a Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle, snorkeling at Molokini Crater, shopping in Lahaina and laying on a gorgeous beach.

(Maui)

Then we we went back to the Big Island and kayaked and snorkeled there. We were hoping to play with some dolphins, but no such luck (at least we didn't see any dorsal fins (at least the shark kinds :-)).

after Kona

We went to Kauai and had a blast taking dune (or should I say Mud) Buggies through the tropical forest and found a few gorgeous waterfalls. One evening we attended a Luau. We also rented
a few scooters and found a few more waterfalls. We went up to the NaPali coastline to see a spectacular view and an amazing sunset with some amazing friends. Na Pali Coastline

In Oahu we had a private tour from Kalei's parents, Kathy and Gary Smith. What an experience!!

Downtown Honalulu

What's up with Jaxon?

Jaxon is such a little booger (he is 20 moths now!!)... he loves to say no whenever I ask for a kiss... it is almost a matter of fact no :-) He is a speed demon... hardly slows down for anything. He has this thing that drives me crazy, when he gets mad at me he bumps his head on anything in front of him... most of the time it is on the futon arm or his crib, so needless to say he has plenty of little bruises on he forehead.... so I have decided that I am going to get him a helmet so if he does continue it his forehead will not be bruised :-) What a boy :-)

2007-07-21T21:11:00.001-05:00

Happenings at the Davis's!!!

I have been soooo bad about keeping everyone up to date.... Mark I decided that it was time for me to quit work and stay home with Jaxon full time and what a treat that has been :-) I was able to quit at the end of May!!! With all of the rain we have had this summer Jaxon and I haven't gotten out much, but we have been able to go to the zoo a few times, have a few playdates with a few friends, visited the girls at the daycare, swimming at Auntie's and go to Mother's Day Out :-) I have been busy organizing the house :-) What fun that has been :-) I am proud to say all the rooms minus the utility room are in tip top shape (I plan to work on the utilty room this week). Once I have the utilty room done, I plan to start scrapbooking again!!! Finally I will be able to get caught up on that!!!! I am also selling Lia Sophia jewelry to help with the family fun money :-) I have done very well so far and average about 3 shows a month :-) I don't want too many shows and the ones I have done have been fun :-) It is my way of getting to interact with adults and meet new people :-)

Speaking of the utility room... it is about done, yippy!!! Just the final touches like the crown molding, shelves, and touch up painting :-)

Bathroom Lynne's Scapbook table

Jaxon happings: He is 17 1/2 m now..... so hard to believe!! As you know he has been walking for a few months and now he is running most of the time :-) He loves to sneak and climb the stairs :-) He is always talking... I just wonder what he is saying most of the time... some words we get, but most of them???? He loves to make himself laugh and laughs at us all of the time :-) Auntie Andrea passed down the girls old slide and so he is loving going down it 50 times a day (Mark just put it up last night :-)

A few weeks ago we went to see Jill and Todd.... what fun we had!!! The big boys went to the movies and me, Jill and Jaxon went shopping.... we also went to dinner for Todd's BIG 30 and went back thier house for fun with the Wii!!!! We always have a super fun time with them!!!

2007-03-26T22:50:00.000-05:00

Finally, another update from the Davis's

I know it has been months and a lot has happened in those months. We enjoys Christmas with Bruce!! Damon, Lesli and Brayden came into town and we spent a wonderful day at Carol and John's. In February my parents took all of us skiing in Colorado. We had a super time, but I decided I suck at skiing and just will be a cute snow bunny without the skis :-) Mark bit it hard on the second day out and had to call it quits :-( Next ski trip Mark and I may try out snowboarding, but it depends on Jaxon and if I have the guts :-) Mom and I found an outlet mall and on the last day I found a body treatment at a spa :-) Jaxon celebrated his 1st B-Day there and so we had B-day cake for him there.

Shortly after we got home Bruce had a siezure and needed around the clock care. We made the hard decesion to put him a nursing home. We knew he wanted to be at our house, but we weren't able to take care of him the way he needed care for. On March 1st Damon came to visit and Bruce passed within a few minutes of his and Mark's arrival. We had a beautiful memorial service for him a few days later. Because we weren't ready to bury him, he came home with us for awhile longer. We miss him terribly, but know he is having a good time in heaven and not hurting anymore.

The progress on the utilty room is coming along. Mark has done quite a bit and we have beautiful cabinets ups!! This week he is going to try to complete the bathroom and then we will focus on finishing the utilty. As soon as it is done, I'll send pictures :-) Can't wait to show it off, It looks better every day we work on it :-)

I have decided to sell Lia Sophia jewelry under my best friend, Kristen. She is totally excited and I am too... I have had the best response from so many friends and family!!! I haven't even officially signed up and I have already 3 shows booked!!! Thank you all who have helped with that!!!

Jaxon tricks: Where do I begin. He is such a sweetie!!! He has his sweet giggle, but he has developed this other laugh that cracks us up, including himself. The laugh is hard to descibe, but it is almost as if he is trying to mock one of our laughs. He is such a character. He also has a mouth full of teeth. On Febraury 20th he took his first steps and now we can't keep him from walking. He also loves to give kisses. You'll say, "give me a kiss" smack, smack and he will smack his lips and come at you with an open mouth. He is our little joy and I miss him everyday that I have to go to work.... one of these days soon I will be able to be home with him all of the time :-)

Well, Happy New Year, Happy Valentine's Day, and Happy St. Patrick's Day!!! I will try harder to keep up these days:-)

2006-12-20T08:00:00.000-06:00

Here Comes Santa Claus

Christmas is almost here and Jaxon is all ready!! He loves the tree and pulling off its ornaments; it is a very good thing that we spend most of our time upstairs. I would hate to have to get after him and continuously redirect his attention all of the time. It seems this year I am way behind schedule or the month of December has gotten away from me... as you might know I am usually totally complete with purchasing presents and almost done wrapping presents by now. Every night we have so much fun hanging out with Jaxon that we only have a few hours left in the evening to get things done (if we feel up to it). Suprising though this week we have been very productive getting the house clean and hopefully by Thursday night we will have every present we have wrapped and ready :-)

Jaxon Tricks: He is having so much fun crawling... no more terminator crawl... with the help of Mark he is crawling everywhere :-) He is also pulling up on everything and standing a little on his own. He has fallen and bumped his head a few times, but he is trooper and gets right back up:-) We just can't get enough of him.. he has such a great personality and laughs all of the time. Such a fun little man... it makes going to work hard some days :-)

We pray you all have a blessed Christmas and enjoy all around you!!

2006-11-01T20:40:00.000-06:00

Happy Halloween!!!

Jaxon had a fun time hanging out with his cousins for Halloween. Jaxon was a fish, Erin was a Ninja, and Katie was a tiger!! We didn't make it to the end of Trick-or-treating, but I am sure the girls got tons of yummy treats.

Jaxon has also gotten to spend quite a bit of time with his PaPa Davis since he has moved in with us. Thank you all for your continued prayers for him. We are praying constantly to have God take his pain. Damon came to help out a few weeks ago. We are planning on taking some nice pics of the boys on his next trip in a few weeks if Bruce is feeling up to it.

Back to Tricks, Jaxon has come with a few new ones himself. He got his first tooth at the beginning of the month. It is still a little nub, but soon it'll push all the way through... no more toothless wonder:-( He also said Dada and Mama.. with only a day apart. Even though we know he isn't saying it in reference to us, it still feels good when he says it :-) He is a little talker. He is officially on the gogo!! He started a terminator crawl about a week ago. He has so much energy and has so much fun going after toys and anything he can get his hands on... remotes, phone, dog tails, BooBoo Kitty :-) He is so much fun!! Always laughing and smiling, truly a blessing!!!

2006-10-12T09:51:00.000-05:00

Crazy Life

Well, Jaxon is a busy little boy... he
gets around by rolling and rolling and rolling!!! He has been sitting up
for awhile now, loves splashing in the bath, plays the piano and drums, and
loves sweet potatos :-) He is so much fun, it makes it hard to get
any work done...

oh work, we have started another
renovation project (hence no updates in a few months). We started
renovating the utility and 1/2 bath in August. In the next few days the
bathroom will be complete!!! Yippy!! (this photo was from a few weeks ago :-)

Also, if you could please contiue to pray
for Mark's dad, as most of you know he has lung
cancer. Damon, Lesli and Brayden came to help out and they got to meet Jaxon.

2006-08-09T21:11:00.000-05:00

I'm too sexy....
Our little Jaxon had a photo shoot for his 6 month picture... and oh what a cutie :-) Auntie Andy did a fabulous job!! I know she and Jackie had a fun filled morning...

Our trip to Tulsa to visit Auuntie Kristen and Steve was too fun!! We got to visit with them along with Rachel and Lane and we saw lots of fish at the Oklahoma Aquarium!! We got tickled when the fish swam up and startled Jackie. There was a catfish that was twice as big as him.. Jackie could have been bait to catch that biggin!!!

New Tricks.... A few weeks ago Jackie rolled from his back to his tummy!!!! And he loves to stand with the help of Mommy and Daddy :-)

2006-07-19T08:01:00.000-05:00

Ohio Trip

We had a great time in Ohio!! Jaxon was the little charmer with everyone we visited... Granny, Gandpa,Rochelle, Corinna, Christy, Greg, Khylie, Marleigh, Brennah, Libby, Larry, Aunt Claudell, Aunt Wendy, Dee, Jack, MaryAnn, Dick, the Kocher's and Barnes... I believe Jackie had a little crush on the cute redhead at the Arnold's; he couldn't keep his eyes off her when she was around :-) And oh the weather... it was absolutly perfect!!! Even though it rained, it was perfect, warm during the day and cool at night. And because of the rain everything was green!!!

Jackie loves his exersaucer and he is starting to roll from his side to his back. Mark loves to tickle the little man all the time... he can't help it, Jax has the cutest laugh :-) Jackie loves when we let him stand... his little chunky legs are so strong :-)

"How You Doin' "

We are planning a trip to Tulsa to visit the Wilson's and hopefully see the Pyron's... going to see some fish :-) Will share that adventure once we get back :-)

2006-06-29T08:14:00.000-05:00

Hello All,

We thought this would be a fun way to keep you all posted on the happenings at the Davis househould :-) Jaxon is getting so big now, slowly growing out of his 3-6 months cloths already. I asked him to stay little for Mommy, but I don't think he is listening to me, typical kid :-) He is such a little talker (hum? I wonder where he gets that :-). He tells us everyday how much fun he has at school (aka daycare).

Let's see, we have had a few firsts :-) Jackie's first real smile happened at about 6 weeks (melted my heart and still does) then shortly after that he started laughing... it was almost like a courtisy laugh, almost like he was doing it just to make us feel good :-) Now he giggles all of the time!!! On the 9th of this month he... drum roll please.... ROLLED OVER!!!! How exciting!!! On the 10th we went to Aunie Andy's and Uncle Larry to swim for the first time. We thought the water was perfect, but Jackie thought it was a little chilly for his comfort, so he kept us company poolside :-) Now he has not one, but TWO teeth coming in :-) I sure am going to miss my toothless wonder :-)

For Memorial Day weekend we went to Grapeland, TX for a funfilled weekend with the Hawkin's Clan!!! Jaxon is a great traveler so we have tons of faith he will do well on the upcoming long drive to Ohio. We are all excited to get away, we leave on Saturday and Jackie will spend his first Fourth of July with Granny and Gandpa Reifsnyder!!
