Who's Your Daddy

I feel like someone important is being left out of our FAMILY blog. DAVIN! Poor guy. I'm sure he is devastated :) So, here are some fun facts about my Davikins :

1. Davin loves numbers. He loves figuring out gas mileage, grocery deals, budgets, etc. I guess that's why he is an accountant :) He is one smart guy!
2. He served a 2 year LDS mission in Paraguay. I love to hear him speak Spanish.
3. Davin used to be the captain of his cross country team. This is so amazing to me because I am a terrible runner.
4. He knows EVERYTHING about sports. Scores, players, teams, you name it. He has taught me a lot!
5. Davin knows how to work hard. Ladies, he is not afraid to do dishes or laundry. I love that :)
6. He is a good daddy and a fantastic husband and we love him :)

I know . . .

Okay . . . go ahead and roll your eyes. But, isn't this the cutest thing you've ever seen!! Or, the cutest thing the mother, grandmother, grandfather of these children has ever seen!

Go 54!!

Go 54!!! Yaaaa! Okay . . . . I have no idea who 54 is on the Miami Dolphins. In fact, we don't even watch the Dolphins (if you haven't noticed, they aren't too fantastic lately). However, Christopher saw this shirt at a yard sale and it was love at first sight, and I LOVE THAT. I love seeing his little personality traits shine through. Why can't us adults do the same thing? C'mon, you know you've seen one of those Christmas sweaters and thought :

Wow. Look how cute that little snowman is! Or look at those cute dogs on that sweatshirt! BUT, you know you wouldn't wear it because it's not in style. I love that kids have their own style and they are not afraid to use it :)

Another thing Christopher is not afraid to admit is that he likes some things typically labelled as GIRLY. He loves rainbows. As we were taking a walk today, he was gathering rocks in his tricycle. When we got home he said "I want to paint these RAINBOW!!!" And I thought, Ya! Ya. Let's paint these rocks the prettiest rainbow colors in the whole world!!! So, we did. Aren't kids great! When he is a rotten teenager he is going to be totally against rainbows because it means pretty rainbows and unicorns and flowers. What is WRONG with rainbows and unicorns and flowers I ask? Nothing. Nothing.

I can't wait to see what makes this little one smile. Right now it is short power naps. 15-30 minutes. What's WRONG with short power naps? Everything. Everything. :)

My little heroes

You don't raise heroes, you raise sons. And if you treat them like sons, they'll turn out to be heroes, even if it's just in your own eyes. :)

Christopher wanted to keep you updated on the progress of our trees! Our buds are starting to burst :)

I get it

I think, as children, we always wondered why grownups were so boring.

Well, Mom and Dad,  I have finally realized why . . . . . 

You never wanted to eat a massive handful of colored marshmallows.  Eck!

You were never excited to jump in a bathing suit (aghhhhh) and jump in the public pool with me.

You didn't want to hop through mud puddles.

You didn't want to watch the dumb cartoons I watched.  Does anyone else agree on how ANNOYING this show is!

You didn't like it when I said "Mom!" or "Dad!"  100 times to get your attention.

You loved naps.

You didn't get as excited about squishing into a cardboard box as I was.

I get it.  I get it.

Proof

Proof that Christopher cannot do anything with seriousness. He has to make everything more entertaining and silly.

Proof that you should NEVER EVER tell this child a silly little lie because he will BELIEVE you . . . . . . FOREVER!!!! Christopher will believe what this doctor said for the rest of his life. Seriously. Mommy is going to have to explain this one for a loooong time.
