Kids say the funniest things!

Sydney was playing a few days ago, she had her baby in her shirt, she was pregnant. She walked up to Dallas and started to talk to him about her day, the weather, how she was feeling and then she said, "Oh no, this kids coming, she is about to hatch!". What the....she is to funny.

This weekend Dallas went into a convience store to get some cash. Sydney was talking about what we were going to go and do and she said, "Mom, I am going to look for dad..." a few minutes passed and she was still looking intently into the store window when she finally exclaimed, "Oh wonderful I found him!" I said you did...she looked at me and said, "yeah mom can't you tell, he is always the one with the most prickily hair". Sure enough she was right, out walked Dallas.

And finally Kenady only wants to feed herself now. She had some yogurt and was doing rather well. About half way through she decided that she liked it more as fingerpaint and proceeded to paint her paint. Dallas looked at her and said, "ut-oh" and put his hand on his head. She followed the lead and put her hands on her head. You should have seen the look on her face, she was surprised at the new found gel. For a little while she painted her head and decided it was taking much to long, she took the cup of yogurt and dumped it on her head! Not a funny thing to laugh out, but I think you may have heard a few chuckles here and there.

Lasting Impressions.

This weekend was our General Conference. For me it was one of the most memorable and lasting conferences that I have ever witnessed. The solemn assembly started it all. It was such an amazing thing to witness and then to be able to take part in it, to stand with millions of people to sustain our new prophet, to know that we have a prophet on the earth to lead and guide us, to know that his direction comes from God and that there is a plan for us, there is more to this life then work, then the house we live in, then the cars we drive, there is so much more. To know that we are eternal beings, that we can be with our loved ones through life, through death, through so much more. I know why I was so blessed to be here at this time, I am so thankful for that direction and knowledge that I have. Thank heavens for Heaven!

For the last few days (and every time after conference) I can feel this power in my life. I want to be a little better, stand a little taller and maybe that is why I have seen and felt the great things that surround us. Today I was listening to something on Oprah, she is doing some class on a book and all these people were getting on and saying how it changed their lives and how excited they were. Some of them were talking about how they realized they had Eternal Life, others realized how slowing down and enjoying the little moments have changed their lives, realizing that matterial things dont matter...etc. etc. etc. the whole world (because of Oprah) is so excited about this book and it is life changing; it made me realize just how exciting the gospel is. It is life changing, it is such a great thing, it teaches all those things and more.

Then tonight I wanted to see American Idol gives back and I wanted to give. How great it is when people come together to give, to serve to think of others. What an amazing thing giving/serving others does to you. Things don't matter quite as much, ego's aren't so big and again it brought me back to the knowledge that I have. How much richer your life is, when you do these things, . This........this is what life is all about. I appreciate that people who give, who care, who make a difference in this world. You inspire me. And I am most thankful for the knowledge that I have in this life, I know who I am, I know where I am going, I know that I belong, I am a daughter of God and I can make a difference!

New News!

Hey everyone. We are so excited about our new move! YEAH, it is much sooner then we anticipated but the closer it gets the more excited we are. We sure love the people here, love the location (short commute to the valley, not far from family and friends and great weather), but we are moving up to the White Mountains. I think I went through all the emotions, even being a little nervous but now it is just excitement.

Dallas got a job with Gregor Randall, in Showlow, it's by Wal-Mart (catty-corner). He is so excited about the possibilities and starts work May 5th. Soon I know. It won't be enough time to get our house sold, so it looks like the kids and I will be here for a bit while Dallas is up there working away. I am sad to finally be DONE with the house, just to sell it, but hopefully now it will SELL. Keep us in your prayers, if anyone wants a house in Globe, please pass on the info...hehee.

It finally happened

Oh no, I can not believe it, I dreaded this day, fretted, stewed, finally it came and it wasn't so bad. I have been stung by a scorpion. That's not even the best part of the story! I am petrified of those little, satanly things. We spray regularly and it is the sole reason that I would leave this place as soon as possible! Well I was cleaning the doors today and grabbed the rag from the kitchen sink. I felt something, kind of like a pinch but I still dropped the rag and out flew a BIG (thank heavens') scorpion. I screamed and the stand off began. I couldn't move and neither could the scorpion. I grabbed a shoe, but again froze in place. Sydney came trotting in and so I threw her up on the table and she is chanting, "do it, do it, do it". I just can't come close enough to hit the dang thing so I decide to do the tape trick, wrap tape around a spatula hit it/stick it to the tape and throw it outside, in the toilet, etc. So I ran to get some tape (what an idea let it get away while you are gone). Came back and it was GONE! Luckily it had just moved from the front of the opened door, to behind and was trying to make it's get away. So I lost interest in the tape theory and held tight to the flimsy shoe.

I was sitting there trying get up the courage to hit it and I leaned over to Syd and said I don't know if I can do it. Sydney hops down off the counter and says, "don't worry mom, I got it, give me the shoe and hop on the table." What the.....demonstration number two for the week, mom is a baby! So after realizing that a three year old is braver then me, I got up the courage and innihilated that thing! I don't think his friends will want to come back to face my wrath!

Fortunately I think he barely nicked me, the pain was similar to an ant bite, I lucked out and hope to never be so lucky again!

We are back!

We are back but without pictures...again. I do have a few old ones I will post found our camera but then I left it in my sisters car and she took it to St. Johns with her!

I can not believe how much has happened first a quick update, then a funny story and great news. We have been doing A LOT to our house. It is finally done, with the expectation of a bathroom. I really like it, I think Dallas should be a landscaper, interior designer and all that entails. He has such a creative organized mind and things sure come to life. I will post more pictures when I get my camera.

We have really spent quite a lot of time on that. We did get a weekend off and went to the Renaissance Festival. I thought it was a lot of fun, my kids thought the animals were great and liked some of the food. I felt like it was for older kids and/or just me and Dallas. It would have been a fun date to watch the shows, etc. All in all it was a good time and we were glad to have the tikes around.

Then the next weekend was Easter and we headed up to St. Johns because Tyson was having his farewell too. It was a fun weekend. We watched Tripp and Crew while Jas and Shanda spent their fifth anniversary in Las Vegas. They both got sick, poor kiddos, I am sure they just wanted their parents but they were both so good and I was so glad all the kids got to be together. We went to the Davis wash, with both grandma's and grandpa's and it was lots of fun.

Then on to Tyson's farewell. It was one of the better farewells that I have ever been too, biased I am sure. He is so kind, sweet spirited and nice. We are sure going to miss him (he is going into the MTC TODAY) but are so excited for him. He'll be the best missionary ever and is so great with people! He has lots of special abilities.heheee.

Well of course then it was back to work, work, work. It is so fun to finally have the house all landscaped and everything done! Things are going well here. Kenady talks quite a bit now, she mimics whatever you say, mostly her vocabulary consists of I want that, I want that! and she thinks that is she screams she will be much more effective then if she just talks to us. She is really getting big. She is just at that stage where she is blooming in all areas. She loves to follow Sydney around Dallas affectionately calls her "our sheep".

Sydney had an accident last weekend! It was quite scary for me. Dallas was painting the outside of our house. Sydney was helping him with the garage door so she pulled one of her toys against the wall and stood up to hit the opener. The toy fell out from under her and she grabbed onto the box to the side of her, weights were on top of that box and both of them fell on her head. Being the good mom that I am I put my hand (lightly) over her mouth and rushed her outside....Kenady was sleeping. I was talking to her and turned my head to look at her, blood was gushing out of her head. Yikes. We ran her back into the kitchen to clean her up (I was sick that weekend) after we got the blood to slow down I got to see the wound. I put the rag back on her head told her to hold it there and ran to the bathroom, quite queasy...what a great mom, I am going to be one of those that can handle anything right! The war wound was only about an inch long but deep and open. She was petrified to go to the Doctor, out came the super glue and everything is better! She loves to show you her wound!

Well Ty we love and will miss you but we are so proud of you! You are the best! Have a great week!

Feeling guilty!

I am feeling a little guilty right now! Every time I pull up the Internet, our blogspot is our home page and the first thing I see is "I have to say I am a little frustrated at my man tonight!"

To reprimand and then redeem myself and my dear husband (obviously you should not wake me up if you are in need, want to talk, or want to stay in good graces...heheee) obviously he (or I) is not perfect, but I do LOVE him. I would like to do another little post on him.

Dallas
D is for dear. Dallas is near and dear. He is our world, our life, our everything. Our day isn't whole until Dallas comes home. Sydney will be sad for half the morning if she didn't wake up to kiss him goodbye. He is fully involved in our little family and life. When he gets home he helps with the cooking and always the dishes. He take the kiddos so I can venture out and go running. He is a good dad and he is Dear to our hearts.

A is for always. He is an always in my life. He is someone I can count on, he is someone who will always choose whats right, whats best. He will stay strong. He is going to do what is best for our family he works hard (like schooling),find away to provide and he will Always love me best no matter what. Who could ask for anything more.

L is for light hearted. For makes light of "life". He can make any situation easy-going. He can make people laugh and feel at home. He is even light-hearted when I want to be serious. I am so glad he makes our home an easy place to live.

L is for lovely. You do have to admit he is quite Lovely to look at.

A is for analytical. Because of this he can do ANYTHING and the things he does always turn out amazing. Take our back yard for instance. He is not a landscaper, a builder, or cultivator by trade. But you would think so when you saw our yard. Most of the material was found in our yard and it looks like we paid millions :) heeehee for our built in grill, rock wall, landscaping and more. He is great at everything he does, thanks for being Analytical.

S is for sorry. He is almost always the first one to say sorry. This is huge for me and I am working on beating him at this but almost, without fail, if a sorry is ever needed from him or me he will say Sorry.

Dallas, you are the love of my life. I know our fates were sealed together before we ever even came to this earth. You have been my rock, and kept me strong....."Good morning beautiful....my life is wonderful with you by my side when I open my eyes and see your sweet face it's a good morning beautiful day!"

Man Tag

I have to say I am a little frustrated at my man tonight! He did have an eventful weekend, he had a full day of class Saturday and Sunday. We tagged along because Sydney loves pools and hotels more then anything (that is where she wants to live next). So needless to say I had our darling kiddo's the whole weekend, I did it all even put them to bed. I came home early today because Sydney was really sick and again had the beautiful girls all day. When Dallas came home I put Kenady to bed and he, Sydney and I watched the Oscars and he so graciously let me fall asleep. Well I was not so gracious when I woke up to a crying Sydney telling me she wasn't feeling well, she was hungry, and when I looked at the clock it was also an HOUR past her bed time. I stomped around the house to find Dallas asleep at the computer, sheez! So now I put Sydney to sleep and I am awake while Dallas continues to sleep! I would love for people to post and tell me to get over it, not kidding I really would! So I thought this might help!

Hah I have to laugh. My computer died while I was typing this...it is now the next morning and I dont feel that way at all. Amazing what a little sleep will do for you!

-What is his full name? John Dallas Davis.

-How long have you been married? 5 years.

-How long did you date? steady dated for 9 months on and off for about 1.5 years.

-Who eats more sweets? Hah. For anyone that knows me this is not even a question...me,me,me. I am really trying to work at it which seems to make it worse!

-Who said I love you first? He did.

-How old is he? 28.

-Who is taller? I too love that he is, no matter what shoes I am wearing!

-Who is smarter? Okay, so this is a toss up, hah who I am kidding I am! All jokes aside Dallas is the brainiac. He never stops using that brain of his.

-Who can sing better? We are about dead even on this one, but I wish I were a little better, this is one tallent I would love to have.

-Who does the laundry? Me, me, me. Not good at ironing I hate to admit but even the folding is my territory.

-Who pays the bills? He pays the student loans and I pay the rest.

-Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? We haven't ever really done sides but now that I think back most of the time I have been on the left side of the bed. I guess I will officially claim it.

-Who mows the lawn? Dallas is a yard work fein. He loves to be outside and because of it the yard is looking swell! Everytime we get a mow, we then get the grass raked, the edges trimmed, the flower beds blown, the grill shined...it is quite the ordeal and looks awesome.

-Who cooks dinner? I do most of the cooking, Dallas mans the grill and if we are having tacos he always fries the shells. I DO appreciate that! I also like to throw parties because Dallas would like a frozen pizza, a sandwich or chips to a nice home cooked meal, that way they mess isnt as bad! I think he is a little crazy!

-Who drives? Dallas always drives. I sure like that.

-Who is more stubborn? He'd say me, I'd say him.

-Who kissed who first? He kissed me first!

-Who asked who out? Hmmm, should this stand out a little more then it does. We "hung" out a lot I am pretty sure he asked me out on our first "date". Let me ask him and get back to you.

-Who proposed? Dallas this was a day you definatley dream about. To shorten it up, he took me on a long date to five diffrent places each of the places were places that my dad used to take me when I was young. The final place was a carnival (I thought we were going to dinner but waiting on reservations) we were on the farris wheel. As we dropped to the ground the worker gave Dallas a rose, we stopped at the top & Dallas said you were your daddy's girl since you were you, would you be my girl forever. AHHHH, how romantic.

-Who has more siblings? Dallas has five I have four.

-Who wears the pants? Hmmm, I would like to say me but at times it is him!

At times, I need to work at it a little, like last night! But I sure do love this man. He has given us everything, he is supportive and kind, he loves us and I wouldn't have dreamed it could be this good. Thanks for the great five years!
