I've Been A Bad Blogger, A Really Bad Blogger!

Life around the Davis house has been a little crazy the last couple of months and I have not been motivated to blog. I got a work at home job with GE Financial and did 3 weeks of full time training on site. It pretty much sucked being away from home all that time. I realized that I have gone from being someone who loves to be out running around, to being quite the homebody.

Thanksgiving and Christmas have passed and we had a great holiday season. Stressful, but great nonetheless. We celebrated New Years with my family, bbq and fondue!

Happy 2010! I am looking forward to basketball with Tate, dance with Kalvyn, date nights with Rick and a little extra $ from GE. I have decided against resolutions this year. I am still working on some from last year and quite frankly, I don't need any extra pressure.

Other highlights from the last 2 months:
Tate turned 9 and got his wolf badge, he is now a bear.
Kalvyn had her Christmas dance recital.
Blake is talking my ear off night and day.
Better health insurance (can I get an amen from the congregation)
Working part time from home

I do promise to keep this updated!
Here are a few pics:











Halloween 2009

Blake is too cool

Blake the Artist

This is a boat and skateboard

Blake is so fun. He doesn't like coloring with crayons.. He likes coloring with pens...Red and Black pens to be exact... forget mindless scribbling too.. He gets very serious with his "pen" work. He concentrates really hard making small object..He seems able to identify what he is coloring too. One piece of work is a "skateboard", another is a "boat". I had Tate do a practice spelling test last night and Blake was right there with his pen and paper doing a test too.. so cute.

This is his spelling test..

New Shoes

I LOVE MY NEW SHOES!

Enough said...they are soooo comfy..and I match the boys..hehe

Ranch Chicken Pizza

I've posted recipe before...
Just pre-heat oven to 375... bake crust for 7 minutes. Add chicken mixture to top and then add cheese.. Bake for another 7-8 minutes. Drizzle with wing sauce.
You may not need both rolls of cresents. I used 1 1/2 cans.
Hope you enjoy!

Lake Time

We had the best day today at the lake with our friends Annette and Craig. Oh, and of course their sweet little boys, Alex and Zach. We went out to Saguaro lake and soaked up some of the last of summer!

Here are some pictures of the days activities...Thanks Zahn family!!!! You rock!!!

Catching up

My little bookworms

Soccer kid

So school started a month ago...sports started 2 weeks ago... We've been up and running ever since.. I can't believe I was ready for school to start.. We have Tate a little overbooked this semester. I feel like his personal assistant/driver. He has soccer Tues/Thursday with games on Saturday. He has Cub Scouts Wed. and the later that night he has R.O.C.K. at church.

We were a little smarter when it came to Kalvyn. She has dance Thursday's. She was set for soccer but we found out practices were 2 times a week til 9:30pm...hey, a girl needs her sleep, so we dropped it.

One exciting thing happened this last month..Blake is now potty trained.. I am in heaven..except for the fact that my bathroom has smelled like pee for the last couple months. Even though I am still helping to aim, it ends up everywhere. I clean it everyday and it is still gross!

The Big Kids

Last weekend we decided to take Kalvyn and Tate bowling. Every once in a while we have to shake things up a little and get a sitter (grandma) for Blake and let the bigger kids let loose. Anyone that had children with a 10 year age gap can relate to how hard it can be to find activities that everyone can do together. There are still a lot of things that Blake is too young to do. Things like movies, shopping, bowling...that the bigger kids want to do.
We had a blast with Kaly and Tate!
