Trying to catch up!

In this post I'm going to attempt to catch up to what we are currently doing! Here goes, the weekend before thanksgiving my cousin Josh and his wife Jessica and family came down to spend Thanksgiving with Jessica's family. They stoped by my parents house to spend a few days. They have three adorable children. The oldest is Joni, and then they have twins Dalian and Hannah. The twins are 10 months old, look at Matthew, he's the same size and he was only 5 months at the time!!

Next came Thanksgiving, unfortunately Rick had to work :( so Matthew and I spent the day at my parents home. My parents were hosting Thanksgiving for my Dad's side of the family this year so everyone came to their house. My cousin Candice was there with her husband and their son Ryley who is just a month older than Matthew, so that was fun! After Rick came home from work our friends Eric and Kimi came over and we all played some fun games. All together our Thanksgiving was lots of fun!!

The day after Thanksgiving, "Black Friday" Merrie, Matthew and I went Shopping. We didn't get up early tho, I think we went around 11am. We went to Target and the East Hills Mall. It wasn't that eventful so I don't have much to say. Except that Matthew looks soo cute in his new jacket!!



Then the Saturday after Thanksgiving we left to visit Rick's Mom in Northern California, she lives in a small town called Magalia it's close to Chico. Rick had to work Saturday so we left after 7pm. I'm glad we left so late because Matthew slept the entire way up. We had alot of fun while we where there! We stayed until Wednesday of the following week. Unfortunately Matthew did not sleep the entire way back, but he did really well! He didn't start crying until we were within 20 miles of Bakersfield, but he cried for the entire 20 miles! I didn't take very many pictures but here's a couple of Matthew with his Grandma.



Rick's Birthday was on the ninth, the Sunday before we had Family Home Evening with Rick's family and they celebrated his Birthday then. On the ninth I had my parents and a few friends over for cake and ice cream. His Birthday really snuck up on us so we really didn't plan anything, I just threw a party together. All in all it was really fun we served burgers had cake and played games. Rick took this picture of himself so that's why it looks weird.

Last night we went to the Holiday lights at CALM. It was alot of fun, but it was really cold. I think the only person who stayed warm was Matthew because he was so bundled up. The lights were really pretty! They had a train ride and a carousel. We took Merrie and Cameron with us and met Eric and Kimi there. Matthew got to sit with Santa. It was alot of fun!

So now I'm all caught up, yay!!

Super Saturday

So this last Saturday our ward had a "super Saturday," were you could sign up for all kinds of crafts. One of the crafts was these cute signs. They had tons of samples to choose from, most people picked two or three to do, but they were all so cute! I had to limit myself to five. Little did I know just how much work goes it to making these signs, the activity started at 9:00am and I didn't leave until after 3:00pm. By that time I had only completed 2 signs. Needless to say they're not exactly easy to make but I'm proud to say that as of yesterday I have finished all five signs...aren't they cute?!

HALLOWEEN

Rick- So right now rebecca is doing "tummy time" with matthew so i got the glorious oppurtunity to write in the blog. soooo anyhow.. this years Halloween was awesome, i got off a long day of work and went home and was suppose to dress sorta like a lumber jack. i departed and went to the inlaws house and i was greeted by a bunch of little kids. they all belong to the Drama Club at Merries school. As i ventured further into the house i found mine and my wifes friends in the kitchen.. lmao eric was dressed as freakin Elvis Preasley.. it was so awesome!! Kimi was a cute Geisha and Rebecca was Little Red Riding Hood. Gerri had bought a wolf mask and gloves for her drama kids and i got the first trial run of wearing it.

Lumber jack outfit + wolf mask and gloves = Wolf Man.

Red Cape + Basket of Goodies = Little Red.

Half Chinese Girl + Geisha Robes = Geisha

Goofy White kid + Elvis Replica Polyester Suit = AWESOME!

Little Baby + Dino Zipup = T-REX!

Pictures of Halloween Posted Below.

Very Important!

Please watch the u-tube video that I have posted on my blog! If prop 8 doesn't pass the affect that it will have on our children will be catastrophic!

So Sweet!

I love Matthew's Halloween costume, he's not so fond of it but I am. His Grandma Woessner bought it for him a month after he was born. We saw it at Babies' R'Us, and Grandma couldn't help her self. Matthews nursery theme is dinosaurs by the way, so we have a tendency to buy anything and everything having to do with dinosaurs. Halloween has always been a big deal for me, it signifies the beginning of the holiday season. Sometimes I'm so excited to get the holiday season started, I can barely restrain myself from decorating for Halloween on the 1st of August. Matthews growing so fast I just hope that his Halloween costume still fits him by the time the big night rolls around!

Here we go!

So, this whole blog process has been a lot easier than I thought it would be. Rick has been telling me for awhile that I should start a blog, and I've found it to be really enjoyable and addicting. Now about the Davis family. Rick and I met when we were in high school, I guess you could say we were high school sweet hearts. After dating for a few years rick asked me to marry him. His proposal was so sweet, he did it two days before Christmas on the grounds of the Los Angles Temple under the twinkling Christmas lights. We were married on July 14, 2006 for time and all eternity in the New Port Beach Temple. Married life with rick fit into my life like a puzzle piece, we were best friends. Almost exactly two years later on June 18, 2008 Matthew Laurence Davis joined our family. Weighing in at 7lbs. and 4oz. and measuring 21in. long, he immediately stole our hearts. It's a funny thing becoming a parent. Looking back, before we had him we didn't know what we were missing. Now however, I can't even begin to imagine life without him. Amazing how life changes isn't it?
