A Day to Remember

The boys birthday celebration was truly a day to remember. We had such a good time and were surrounded by so many of our friends and family. We started the day by traveling to Discovery Gateway. It's a hands on play place for kids of all ages. The boys loved parts of it while Spencer and I were able to enjoy other parts. Becky, Candis and I loved the freeze frame animation station. We made one awesome cartoon about true love and tragedy. While Spencer enjoyed making a structure and testing it on the earthquake table. Here are a few pictures of what the boys enjoyed... The boys loved this wind tunnel, they played on this table forever. The helicopter on the roof was a favorite for everyone. It was great fun getting in the pilots seat and pressing all of the buttons. The boys and Alexis seriously did not want to get out. After the Gateway we came home for a BBQ and cake. The boys were so excited to finally be getting "Happy Cake". Logan and Penn had no problem blowing out the candles, they didn't even hesitate they knew exactly what they were supposed to do. As you can see the cake eating was much cleaner this time around.
We were lucky to have Uncle Mitch up from Durango. He and Audrey got along great. After cake we did fireworks, it was truly a packed day! The boys loved the little poppers you throw on the ground. Grandma and Grandpa Gudmundson were great to chill with Audrey. Logan ended up on Grandpa's lap and politely clapped after every firework, very cute! Becky and our family friend, who wants to remain anonymous, were great to have up. The boys love these two!Candis, Joe and Alexis were great to have with us all day. The boys love their aunts and uncles. My favorite part of this picture is Mitch and Audrey in the back.
Audrey was a great sport all day. She is so patient and really doesn't whine. She is growing so fast and such a wonderful little addition to the Family Davis.

2 Allready

The boys just celebrated their 2nd birthday. We have had so much fun I'm splitting this post in two. When Grandma and Grandpa Davis were here they celebrated an early birthday along with Grandpa. As you can see the tractors were a huge hit. They still enjoy playing with them which says something given how long their attention span is. Taking pictures of Logan can be so difficult. He is way to busy playing to smile for the camera. I think in this picture it's like he is saying "Why Mom?"
In addition to the tractors they also received a book about tractors. This is Grandpa reading it with them. Later that week we celebrated Grandpa's birthday with a cake, the boys must have been paying attention because when we asked them what they wanted for their birthday the answer "Happy Cake!" That is just what they got, look forward to our next post for more details.

Home

It's been a little over a week since we've come home and we've been super busy. We have to thank all of our family for taking such good care of us. I haven't had a day alone yet, which I'm soooo thankful for. I'm still not sure how we are going to juggle three kids and their schedules. Spencer and I are officially out numbered. Here are a bunch of photo's of us.
We came home the afternoon of July 4th. With two older brothers Audrey is stuck with a lot of blue hand me downs, including her car seat. Thank goodness for Grandma Gudmundson and the quilt she gave Audrey. The boys have done really well with their sister. They can't hold and kiss her enough. They are very worried about what she is doing and who is holding her. They have been awesome helpers, running for blankets or finding her binki when she is sad. Our 4 mile walks to and home from the park have been put on hold so we've been doing more around here. The boys love their new pool. They esp enjoy a cold drink after swimming. Audrey has even enjoyed the outdoors. She is already a part of our family.Logan and Penn invited a new game called table car. They love passing the hot wheel back and forth across the table. Their giggles are contagious.I guess I've been a little picture happy the last week. Logan saw a spider on the other side of the glass door and ran for his "camera". I guess he felt the wildlife was worthy of a picture. Turn about is fair play. "Smile Mom, it's your turn"Corn on the cob is a huge hit around here. Both boys gobble it right up. Even cleaning corn is more fun with Grandma Davis.We've been taking a ton of pictures of Audrey. For the most part she's been pretty patient although not entirely cooperative. Audrey has already found her place in our hearts and is truly a joy to have around. She has so many different facial expressions and already knows what she wants and how she wants it. We love her a great deal. We can't wait to see what adventures wait for our little family.

Our new kid sister

We have been spending a bunch of time with our Grandma and Grandpa Gudmundson this weekend because Momma and Dadda just went to the hopsital to pick up our new kid sister "Auders"(Audrey). We stopped by the other day and got to hold her and even give her a kiss. They say they are bringing her home tomorrow, she is pretty cute so that is ok with us. She just better not mess with our toys.

Tractors!

As the boys vocabularies grow it's been exciting to see what's on their minds. Turns out there are just a few things they truly get excited about. Slides, sticks, trains (toots), tractors and more tractors. Fortunately we live in a rural area with lots of tractors so we see a fair amount when we go out.
The moment we get into the car they both start saying "tractor? tractor? tractor" until we see one. Then it's "Tractor! Tractor!" No sooner have we passed it then from the back seat I hear "More tractor" and then "tractor? tractor? tractor?" and so forth.
We recently went to the library and found a book about tractors. It isn't really a toddler book, it's one of those books you used in the second grade to do a report with. There is a picture of a tractor on every page. We have a video of Dad reading it to them but I can't get it to load. It captures the boys enthusiastically pointing to every picture and yelling "Tractor!" I'm not exaggerating when I say we read this book at least a dozen times a day with the same level of enthusiasm. I think my new camera recorded it in too high of definition. So how about a picture of the boys watching a tractor pull race on the computer with Dad.

Not Much

It's been too long since our last blog. The problem, we just haven't done anything that exciting. I mean we were excited to finish painting the upstairs or put in another window casing in the basement. But I'm not sure it would catch your attention. So how about some random pictures of the boys, if nothing else Grandma and Grandpa will enjoy them.
Penn has a new fascination with Dad's hats. 30 sec's after breakfast he has to have one on and won't take it off without a promise of going outside and then he has to be coaxed to leave it behind. Both boys love Spencer's original teddy bear. His name "Bear", Logan is esp good at being soft with it and giving good snuggles. He's going to make a great big brother.
