The month of July was pretty much non-stop birthdays in the Davis house. It started with Audrey's on July 1st and continued until July 26th with the boys 3rd birthday. We were lucky to have Grandma and Grandpa Davis here to celebrate with the boys. The boys love reading books with Grandma and Grandpa, esp when its about tractors.
Later in the week we took Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Mitch and the boys and met up with Aunt Candis, Uncle Joe, Cousin Alexis and Aunt Becky at the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point. It is a huge museum full of very cool dinosaurs and all sorts of fun things to do. The boys loved playing on the water tables with Uncle Mitch.
Later that day we enjoyed a great birthday dinner with family, and of course had a delicious cake that Mom baked. Penn had been chomping at the bit to play with the train cake toppers for weeks, but he patiently waited for his birthday which is quite the feat for Penn.
Tractors and Dinosaurs are great and all, but the boys real obsession are trains. Penn and Logan have become fanatical. The most exquisite melt downs I have ever seen have involved trying to pull the boys away from train museums. So we thought it would be a good idea to bring the trains to them. After dinner, a big surprise was waiting for them downstairs. A train table complete with Thomas and Toby trains. The boys were so excited. Even Audrey wanted in on the action. Penn was less enthused about Audrey's participation.
Penn and Logan must have walked about 4 miles around the table that night. When it came to bed time there was no way the trains were leaving the boys sides.
It was a great day, and the boys still love playing with all of the gifts they received. We are very grateful for the boys and the color they bring into our lives. Penn is a very passionate soul with a flair for the dramatic. He can also be very loving and kind. Logan is a total goofball and says some of the funniest things. He is also very good with Audrey and loves to make her laugh.
Well we made it through the terrible two's. Now we just need to make it through the lesser known infuriating three's and we should be home free.... right?

Oh my, that last picture was my favorite!! How cute!
Right - you bet. You made it through the worst, the threes, fours and so on up to and through the teens years are such a breeze. All I can tell you is hang on and enjoy the ride, it is over much quicker than you think.
