Our Year at a glance!


2007, what can I say a life changing year, maybe. A fun filled year, could be. The start of our new lives, I think that's it!

January - Kenady was blessed.
Sydney saw snow for the first time, we headed up to Utah for Dallas last rotation and I realized that two kids, working from home and being a wife was not really all that terrifying. All in all it was a good month.

February -
Kenady got her first sets of shots. She did really well. Sydney was so very sad that she didn't get shots too. As soon as we took Kenady off the table Sydney bounced right up there and was ready. She cried when she found out that it was not her turn! We met some good friend's, our landlords. They are the nicest people and all of the kids are so nice, helpful and we are glad we got to know them!

March-
I don't remember much about this month. I do know that the highlight was going to a "skateland". We had the time of our lives (we really need to get out more). Kenady slept, while Dallas, Sydney and I got to go on all the blow up, bouncy, slides, mats, trampolines, obstacle courses (don't know what they are actually called). We ran and played for a good hour before the Brown's got there and we headed to the skating rink for food and skating. Dallas watched Sydney while I taught Sydney to skate, I don't think she ever got the hang of it but she loved the music, the games, the disco lights. Sydney and I could have stayed there all night!

April - General Conference!
It was so much fun being there at this time of year. Dad, Ty and Cord came up and were able to go to a few sessions.
Dallas watched the kids so that I could go to a session and then they all went to Priesthood. Kenady got her first pictures, we had to take Ty and Cord for Senior Pictures and so Kenady and Sydney went too! It was so much fun.

May- We spent two weeks in Omaha, NE. Some friends were out of town and they let us stay in there house. We had lots of fun there. Going to the Children's museum and mostly hanging out with friends. The very best part, Dallas graduated from Creighton with a DPT! It was so much fun going to his banquets, parties, baccalaureate, and finally graduation. it was a proud proud day for the Davis family and I think...another start to our life.

June -
We lived with family, family, family. They may have gotten sick of us but we are so very thankful for them! It was nice to be in St. Johns, to hang out, to visit, to be with my sister too, and to enjoy the summer, in the pool, with the kids, eating snow cones and taking a minor break.

July- Was also pretty meaningful. This is the month we got a house, Dallas started his job, we were home for the 24th of July , Cord got his mission call, Kenady started crawling and my parents were married for the second time. It was an amazing, crazy, month to say the least.

August - Dallas takes and passes his state/national boards. Sydney stays in her first hotel that she can remember
& gets her first real hair cut. She talks about it all the time. She is so used to moving around that she often tells me, mom I want to live in a hotel next.

September
- I sold my first El Bow Maker. Cord leaves on his mission, Sydney starts dance class and we go to the Drive In for the first time!

October - Sydney turns three and this was a huge year for her! We went a little overboard since we finally had a job a little extra money. I dreamed of having a battery powered car when I was little...but knew it was just a dream. Well Sydney got one and she is afraid of it! She will drive it for awhile but when she comes close to a wall, she left Kenady high and dry in the passenger seats, says she needs to get some gas and never comes back! She loved having a real pary and we are so glad we are close to home where family can come.

November -
Turkey day was good, we don't get to see the Davis extended family as much as we would like too....they need more get together's. That is why Thanksgiving is always fun. The Davis' have someone there every year. This year it was Cameron and Kathy. We really enjoy them and their family. This is a time I am so busy with my vinyl it is all I think about and do, sorry we don't have more of a glimpse into November.

December - Kenady turns one! Of course, shopping, Christmas, and all the fun events. Sydney had a dance recital. We find out that Dallas' boss is moving! They are the light of our lives in Globe. We are so excited for them but bummed they will be gone. We will really miss them. Now we have to figure out just what we are going to do!

JAYMI and Fam!!!

I love your year in review! Your family is so beautiful. Where the heck are you guys? Yeah I would totally love to take some family pics for you guys! I hope to head into photography at some point and would love the practice. I have a pretty nice camera and I am getting really good at digital editing and retouching. So good to hear from you guys!

Heather said...

What a fun year in review. This is a good idea. It was a great year for your guys. I didn't know about your parents remarrying, that's awesome! I love your new background.

What a cute little family you have! Well, I have a friend named Brittany Jensen, but she's not the one that danced on Ellen. That's funny that you know her! My friend and I thought for sure she was Mormon! I was picked out of the audience to dance right after her-so embarrasing. But we both got free shirts out of it! Hope things are going well for you guys!

Missy said...

Ok...How do you turn off that verification word thing? I didn't know I had it.
-Let's just go shoot some pictures for fun. (I wouldn't charge you ...maybe you could hook us up with a deal on some decorative lettering.)
-Are you guys in Mesa? We live on Crismon and Southern. We don't really have anything going on this weekend and I have Monday off to. I'm gonna send my phone # to your hotmail account.

What a great post!! I'm so impressed that you can remember it all so well! I'm pretty sure I would draw a blank if I were to try to highlight all of the months! :) Maybe I should try it....hmmm... :) I can't wait to see you guys again! I'm hoping to go down in March, but it would be really fun to go down again for the 24th!
