A Christmas Story???

Is this not Randy Parker number 2! Dylan was not exactly pleased about the snow suit. He kept falling over and couldn't get up. It was hilarious! He has not tried it out outside yet, but I'm sure it will be comical.

December 09

December was crazy busy and extremely fun! Christmas time was magic with Dylan this year. He loved everything about Christmas time. It felt like we celebrated Christmas for 2 straight weeks. We kicked off the season with the annual Thanksgiving Point Trolley ride to see the lights with the Cutler fam. Dylan liked it much better this year. We took some great pics but they are all on my Mom's camera.


Michelle, Nate and Kade came the week before Christmas so we were busy with the Davis family. We had family pictures taken. The two babies weren't all that cooperative, but we managed to get some cute ones! Ok so maybe Dylan wasn't all that cooperative! He isn't a huge fan of sitting still especially when it's not his idea. We loved having the Sager's here. Kade is so squishy and fun to love on. Grandma Davis had a bunch of matching outfits for them. So here are a few for your enjoyment...






Family Pics...





The boys of course found time for some fishing trips. Jeff pulled in a monster and has been grinning about it ever since! Why you would want to fish when its snowy and you have to dig through ice is beyond me, but they love it!

We had an early Christmas before the Sager's had to head back. Grandma and Grandpa got a sweet tent for the kids. Jeff might have liked it more than Dylan!


Christmas! I was a terrible picture taker on Christmas Day. I only took about 5 pics. I mostly used the video camera. Oh well. It was wonderful. We were all spoiled rotten. We woke up early to do our thing. Dylan loved his basket ball hoop that Santa brought. He says "Ready! Set! Go!" and then he shoots. It is pretty funny. He is such a boy.


Here's a shout out for my incredibly talented hubby. He wanted to get all of my scrapbook stuff organized so he restored and refinished these 2 dressers and got me this desk. It all turned out awesome. I love it.



We spent the afternoon with the Davis fam and the evening at the Cutler's. It was a great day. Thanks to all of our family! We made a stop on the way home for a Dr. Pepper which Dylan always attacks!


You know its been a long day when the Mommy falls asleep before the baby!


Happy New Year! Dylan looks really pumped doesn't he??

We are excited to see what 2010 brings!

Animal Sounds

Dylan is pretty funny with animal sounds. It is hard to get him on film because all he wants to do is watch himself so he's trying to climb all over me in the process. He is quite the busy body. If you can't tell...he hardly ever stands still! I captured the majority of his sounds. We are missing horse, frog, snake, and cougar.



These pics were taken on our last day of cleaning up leaves. We love our trees in the summer, but sure hate them when it is time to rake! Dylan however loved it! He loves to play outside. He was having a blast playing in the piles and riding in the wheelbarrow.


This is Dyl's new favorite spot in the house. He spends a lot of time watching out the window. He loved watching the snow storms and especially the big plows drive by.

The Polar Express

Oh how I love Christmas jammies.


Grandma and Grandpa Cutler treated the family to the Polar Express the week of Thanksgiving. Thanks mom and dad! It was a great kick off to the Christmas holiday. It was so much fun. Dylan loved it! It was so fun to see all the kids and how excited they were to see Santa. Dylan loved to be in a moving vehicle and not strapped in a car seat. He wanted to stand most of the time and check everything out. We have been lucky and so far he has not been scared of Santa. Uncle Jared bought all of the kids a train whistle and I feel like I am having it shoved in my mouth a million times a day. He loves it! Santa gave him a jingle bell and he loves to shake shake it! He sure has been a crack up lately. He is talking a lot and mimics us all day long. He sure makes everything about this time of year twice the fun!

Most of the kids. We're missing Bryn and Briggs here.


How cute is my Dad!



Dylan loves his grandparents!

Enjoying Fall

Nothing too new around the Davis house. We've just been trying to spend a lot of time outdoors while its still nice weather. Dylan has been walking for about a month now and is all over the place! He is quite the character and still never stops moving unless he's watching one of "his shows". Baby Einsteins are a life saver!

Happy Halloween

Halloween was great this year! Dylan was a lion and he had a pretty sweet growl going on. He loved getting his face painted. He held so still (which he never does). We "Trick or Treated" about 10 doors and he loved it. He loved to walk up to the doors and "pat pat pat" them. He liked to pick his own candy out of the bowl. At one house he picked a full size Oh Henry bar. He carried it around the whole block. I swear this boy could eat chocolate all day long. He loves picking through his pumpkin bowl and getting treats.

Exhausted...this was before we even got started!




This litle lion is on the run these days. Now that he is walking everywhere it is like a whole new world opened up to him. I could hardly get him to hold still for 2 seconds to take a picture. As a result we took lots of video footage.



Dylan wasn't too into carving pumpkins. You have to sit still in one area too long for that. He kept trying to pull the guts out of the garbage can to play with...since we weren't exactly thrilled about that idea he was stuck with the seeds that fell on the floor. We took turns digging them out of his mouth! He really liked the pumpkins once they were outside and lit!

Yay! This is my first video that I have ever posted. Dylan was constantly growling like a lion, but we could not get him to do it on film. This was the best we could get!

St. George

We went to St. George last week for about a week. It was a great time. It has turned into a tradition to take a Davis family trip down the first weekend in October. Jeff's dad runs the marathon. He wasn't able to run this year because of an ankle injury, but we still made the trip and it was much needed!



Daddy and Dyl chilling in the hotel. Dylan loves having control of the remote. He's always turning the volume up really loud and changes channels until he finds cartoons. Pretty funny.


Dylan loved the trip. He got constant attention from everyone. He has started taking steps which is adorable. He takes 10-15 before he stops to crawl. It is so cute. He is pretty proud of himself. A lot of the time he sits and claps for himself afterwards.

This is how you often find Dylan. He has to have a phone in his hand. If you want to be his friend you just give him your phone and you'll be best buddies. Grandma and grandpa were down for the first 3 days. It was great because Dylan loves his grandparents. He wanted nothing to do with me or Jeff because Grandma and Grandpa are way cooler. They let him do whatever he wants and don't get after him like Mom and Dad! Grandma always has something for him in her purse and lets him destroy her phone! It was a nice break for me! G-ma and G-pa put him to sleep every night and played with him all day and we just relaxed! Thank you!

A major reason for the trip was to meet baby Kade. He is such a cutie! He has the cutest smile and used it often when looking at Dylan. Dylan sometimes paid attention to him, but mostly he didn't like when Grandma was holding him. It was a crack up to watch. She would hold Kade and the next thing we knew Dylan was dropping what he was doing and racing over to hang on her leg until she passed the baby to me and picked him up. He's not used to sharing on this side of the family. Grandma spoils them rotten! I'm not sure why I packed Dylan any clothes. The boys had new matching outfits and jammies every day. Dylan didn't exactly love the photo shoots...Kade was much better behaved.


Grandpa and his boys. Dylan looks a lot like his grandpa!








Mr. Kade! He is such a munch mouth and has the most adorable buddha belly. You really just want to rub it. We miss him.



Jeff and Nate were up by 5 about every morning to go fishing. It is amazing how much these 2 love to fish. If we lived close Michelle and I would never see our husbands. They caught quite a bit and had a great time. Michelle and I did leave the boys with their Dads so we could go shopping one afternoon. We were gone for about an hr and a half before the phone calls and texts started coming. Ha ha.



All in all it was a fun get away. On our way home we decided to stop at Cove Fort. We'd never been. It was awesome and packed full of history.
