darling girl

A few updates about our little sister;

This darling girl is three weeks old already!
Yesterday she smiled at me, real smiles. It made my day!
She is not quite 8 lbs yet and is still wearing new born diapers and clothes. She's so little. It's about time I had a little baby!
She doesn't seem to like her car seat too much and that it quite worrisome as we travel quite a bit. Hopefully she will get used to it and be a good traveler.
She really is as sweet as can be and we all adore her.

How long until...............

.............until my yard looks like this

Instead of this.

I am so very ready for Spring/Summer. It can't come soon enough. I promise that I won't even complain about mowing the lawn or pulling weeds, at least not until September.

What a Difference A Year Makes

One year ago today I posted this. It was such a scary time for our family and I am so glad to have it behind us. 

Last week Cameron reminded me that it has been a year since he had Guiliian Barre' and he knew this because he remember having to miss his Valentine Party at school.  I still can't believe that Cam had to go through that, it makes me sad if I think about it too much.  I do know though that he was so very blessed and has continued to be blessed in his recovery over the past year.  Looking back and seeing all of the blessings that our whole family recieved is overwhelming and so humbling.  It's easy to forget how much the Lord loves us and we too easily take our life and our health for granted.  It's been good for us to remember just how blessed we are and then Thank our Father in heaven for all of those blessings.

(NOW)

4 hours and a hundred kisses

Oh my how we LOVE this baby girl!  She is so SUPER SWEET! 

She is even sweeter when she sleeps for four whole hours at night!  She usually is every two hours on the dot but last night she was being extra sweet. 

I love her face in the bottom picture!  It looks like she is laughing.  I guess I would be to if Hayden were holding me.  Hayders doesn't want to hold her much, he really just likes to tell her he loves her and gives her a hundred kisses a day. 

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!!!!!

NOISE

In common use, the word noise means any unwanted sound.


It seems to me that since I have had the baby the NOISE level in our house has gone up.

WAY UP!!!!!!!

I can't wait for summer so I can send them all outside. 

Can't get enough

This baby is sooooo sweet. We are loving every minute of her.

Hayden is soooo sweet too.
In this picture he was fixing her some food!

She really is a girl!!!  And I am still in shock!Everything went really perfect and now we have a perfect, beautiful baby girl.  He brothers are completely smitten with her and can't get over how small she is.  Colby and Cameron love to hold her and Hayden so far loves her and shares all of his things with her even his most prized possession, his "nigh-nigh" (blanket). 
We came home yesterday and after a very long and sleepless first night with a new born we are adjusting to our new addition and all that comes with her! 
Grandma and Grandpa Heap are here and what a blessing they are, I don't know how I will manage when they leave. 
Seeing pink things around the house is so fun! 
Can you believe I really have a girl??
I can't. 
But I do.....................!!!!!!!!!!

Lonnnnng Weekend!

This past weekend was a BIG one for the Davis family. Mark's sister Kristy got married and the celebration lasted for four days!! Family arrived starting on Thursday and we started the party on Friday. The cousins were so excited too see each other. Since the cousins live in AZ they were really excited to play in the snow. Their new Uncle Jordan was excited right along with them and threw snowballs and built snow forts to their hearts content!

Saturday was two BIG days in one.
It was BIRTHDAY day for Colby and I and wedding reception/dinner day for Kristy & Jordan.
After a small family party we headed to Salt Lake for the wedding part of our day. Grandpa called Colby up during the dinner and everyone sang Happy Birthday to him. Thankfully I was spared from being sung to in front of all those people!!
The reception/dinner was nice....we made it through, me & my sis-in-law Julie in our very prego conditions, (Julie is due any time now and really should not have flown up here at all!) and all six crazy, loud kids.

Sunday was another get together day for our family and Jordan's family who were all here from Virginia.

Monday was finally the actual wedding at the Salt Lake Temple, followed by lunch at the Lion House.
Again we made it through and for me anyway will live another day or two before having a baby. Julie I'm not so sure though, hopefully she made the flight home ok!!

There are lots of pictures but I'm not so sure I will get around to blogging again before the baby comes!

Do all 6 year olds have a hard time holding still and acting normal????

And do all 2 year olds have to do everything for themselves??
Seriously, he doesn't want help doing anything but usually ends up frustrated and crying because he do what he is trying to do!

This is one COOL 9 year old!

Trying to get six hungry, cold kids to sit for a picture is not easy!

Cam and Jake had a blast taking pictures of each other and everything else they thought was cool. I had some pretty random pictures thanks to Cam!

Finally some yummy dessert to end the day!
