A New "Do"

So tonight after bath, I was brushing Lauren's hair when realized it has really been growing. She and I decided to play beauty shop for a while, and this was our creation... too cute! I didn't have two matching bows, but we made it work... I am just loving all of this girlie stuff!!!

The Doctor Will See You Now....

On Tuesday, our dear friends the Goolsby's were in town and stopped by the office so that Casey could have some of his dental work finished up. Trumon's schedule was pretty tight that afternoon, so Walker stepped in help his dad... just kidding. The truth is that the boys were having so much fun wearing all the dentist gear, and I was able to get a few really great pics. Hopefully the patient was pleased with his appointment, and if not he can just call our attorney.... oh wait, he is our attorney.

Lauren Grace Davis - One Year Old!!!

Where has the time gone? As of July 10th, my precious baby Lauren is now ONE... unbelievable! We celebrated on Saturday with a fun little pool party attended by our family and some sweet friends... thank guys for being there. As I think about this past year, I am just so grateful to have been blessed with such an amazing little girl. She has the most precious of personalities, always happy, engaging and excited about everything. What a blessing you are to us all Lauren Grace!

A Busy Couple of Weeks

Ok, so I've been delinquent with posting due to a camera that has gone awry. Now that I have finally been able to download pics, I'll give a run down of our past couple weeks.

May 22nd marked Walker's last day of school, which they celebrated with Splash Day. A great time was had by all, and it was a fun way to say goodbye to friends and teachers until fall. I can't believe that Walker will be in preschool next year, until now I've viewed his couple of days a week at school as an outlet for him to explore, socialize and learn to play and share with others(not sure if we've accomplished this some days!). However, preschool is something most kids do, it is the beginning of the school years - unbelievable, my baby is entering his school years!

Since schools end, we have enjoyed a swimming, playdates with neighbors and our friends the Hill's who have made their big move to the metroplex, and another Rangers game. Summer is off to a great start!!!

Here are a few pictures from the last couple of weeks....

Dinner at Joe T. Garcia's--- family favorite!

Splash Day at Reading Friends... yummy popsicles.

Memorial Day pool party... kicking off the swimming season.

Let's Go RANGERS!!!!

Take Me Out To The Ballgame

On Sunday, we headed to the Ballpark at Arlington to cheer on the Texas Rangers. It was an absolutely perfect day to get out and enjoy a baseball game. This was Walker's first time to see major league baseball game and he had a great time. It was kind of a slow game, scoreless until the 8th, but fun all the same. The Rangers are having a great season, and we hope to enjoy more games this summer. When I asked Walker what his favorite thing about the day was, he said "eating peanuts and watching for a home run." A special thanks to Jennifer Gonzalez, dental assistant and babysitter extraordinaire, who gave us the tickets and to Papa and Sugar who watched Lauren during the game, chauffeured us to the game and cooked dinner afterwards - thank you so very much!

Eating Peanuts---two bags!

Thank goodness for a Daddy with strong shoulders!

Josh Hamilton at bat - what an awesome testimony of God's grace and restoration.

The Warm Up

After enduring a couple of weeks of stormy weather, we were blessed today with a little taste of summer. Now, I know that around mid-July I'll be praying for fall, but right now I am excited for summer weather and all the fun that it brings. This afternoon we played outside, enjoying temperatures in the upper 80's - perfect weather for splashing around, and for a certain young lady to debut her first bikini.

Lauren also had her first experience with the ultimate fruit of summer - WATERMELON. Now, for those that don't know, I love watermelon, I could live on just watermelon, its just in my blood. Walker has my appreciation for this delicious treat, and today, Miss Lauren had her taste and it was love at first bite - my girl!

Mother's Day Tea

Today, I was a guest of honor at a Mother's Day Tea hosted by Walker's class. I received my invitation two weeks ago and since that time Walker has been dropping "hints" about what was in store for this special occasion. He asked to wear a "handsome" shirt and tie and requested that I wear a beautiful dress and NOT wear a ponytail in my hair(point taken).

The mommies were escorted to a lovely decorated classroom where we found our places by looking for a picture of our special date. As I pinned on my corsage made of painted coffee filters, I looked down to notice a book with information about each mom. The best part of the book is that these "vital statistics" were given by our children. Most of the kids stated their moms weighed between 20 and 30 pounds, my son said I was a svelte 915 pounds! He got the hair and eye color correct, said my smile was his favorite thing about me, that I was as pretty as a cute bird and my favorite food is a marshmallow (EVERY other child said their mom's favorite food was a salad, no wonder they weight 20 pounds and I am 915!).

I enjoyed some delicious lemonade, petit fours, and chocolate covered strawberries, all prepared by the kids. What a special day! I know that days like today are the ones that will come to mind when he gradutates from college, get married, or has a child of his own one day. Earlier today, as I was telling him that he was just getting too big, he smiled at me and said "don't worry Mommy, I'm getting bigger, but I'll always be your son!" - such sweet words from such a sweet boy.
