Hugs and Kisses

If you have been around Davis much you know that he is all in or all out most of the time.
There is very little in between with him.
For about 2 weeks straight the boys gave each other hugs and kisses at bed time and then ended up play wrestling on the floor before they were done.
Davis has Always wanted to snuggle up and hug on me and Scott where Sam has always been a little more independent.
When it comes to hugging and kissing each other, Sam as always been ready to give his brother one where Davis has to be in the mood for Sam.
In these videos you can see what I am talking about : )

You may need to pause the music at the bottom of the page to hear what they are saying.
It is also a little bit hard to hear Davis for some reason, don't know why.




Lots of pictures and imaginations

Is this an uncle Marc face or what!?!?!
If you know my brother I think you will agree that Davis looks just like Marcus in this picture to me, wierd : )
I took this picture b/c I like how Davis has turned the back of his booster seat into a new chair and the table a new footstool.

The next few pictures are of Sam and some of his inventions, he and Jude turned the parts of the pack n play at Nanny's house into guns and the bed into a fort for an entire afternoon of play.
Then the blocks were some of Sam's favorite airplanes, yes he is very serious about those airplanes and their construction.
There is also a picture of the glasses her made out of the same blocks, love that one!
These are blocks that we played with as children Nanny passed them on to them and Sam has really loved them. Davis was pretending one of the blocks was a cheese sandwich just yesterday.










The next few pictures are of Sam's room after he cleaned it, lol!
I didn't ask him to do it this particular day but he decided it needed to be cleaned. From the amount of toys PILED everywhere, you can see that it DID need to be cleaned. He was so excited to show me his hard work and I told him it was so clean I HAD to take some pictures of it. He was so pleased with his work and I have to admit although it was a pile of mess on the tables, I didn't have to dodge toys under my feet for the rest of the day.






I may need Scott to come in and edit this one, he took this picture. Sam was Indiana Jones, Superman, Starwars, Spiderman, camping guy, or something like that.

Davis painting with Sam, yes his mouth is blue! Can't beat non-toxic when the colors look so tasty : )






Davis' entourage is slowly decreasing in number, thank goodness!
He is down to a handful now, but he still sleeps on this one side of the bed. Sam sleeps all over the place, I usually find something hanging off the bed or his feet propped up in the air somehow with whatever toy he played with until he fell asleep on his chest or face or in his hand. I usually have to turn his whole body around when I check on him before I go to bed. Davis on the other hand likes to lay in one spot beside his friends.
These Sam's club buggies always seem like a good idea at first and the boys look so cute and happy when they get into them. The trouble starts from the moment they realize they can touch each other!



This is Davis' new rocketship! I saw it at kidsmarket and couldn't resist seeing my little Buzz fan flying his rocketship thru the house. It counts down to take off and then vibrates on take off. It is hilarious, it also lights up in the back for fire and says a few more things. They have both loved the $12 purchase but my favorite part of these pictures is Davis' little red overalls. I think they are so adorable on him!

Little Minds






This morning we had a great time enjoying a little sunshine and a soft breeze. While outside Sam found a caterpillar. He played with that poor thing until I thought it would die from exhaustion. He put him on his army man truck, that was a $3 find on clearance yesterday at Wal-mart.
I told him to leave the poor thing alone and let it play on his truck. ABout 5 min later Sam had the truck in the air shaking it saying, "Det it out, I want it out"
I looked and the scared little caterpillar had climbed into the one small hole on the top of the truck. At first glance I thought he had squished it trying to "det it out"

I finally poked the right way and it came running out. I am glad to say, I think it finally got away without to many injuries. : )
The boys were swinging and I looked down to see both of them almost asleep staring at the ground.
We came up for lunch and had mini corndogs for lunch. I cut them up for the boys to eat and Sam was taking all of the bread off for fun. He started giggling and said "Look mom, a wee wee, ssssssppppp" that last part was the sound of it tee teeing : )
I had to turn my head and laugh, it was so innocent and so funny!

Fun Trip to the Zoo

Saturday Morning we decided it would be a fun day to visit the zoo, so off we went. We showed up late for the sea lion show, but did get to hear them barking after the show and went and watched them swim around for awhile. Davis said "There so cute"...a phrase Magan has now influenced all of us boys in the house saying much more than we care to admit. :)
We then went to see the Lorikeets and we had the best time trying to catch and pet these birds. Sam and Davis have the cheap dad that does not like to spend the buck fifty for nectar to feed the birds, so it takes a little while longer to get the birds to come to ya. I hope the video turns out OK, because Sam and Davis were both "so cute" trying to hold the birds. In the end, both Sam and Davis got to hold the birds for a little bit on their hands. They repeated a hundred times "Get it Dad"..."[I want to] hold it dada"..."Here Birdie".
We then went on to Sam's favorite animal to see...the Rhinoceros. Sam informed us several times that we were mistakenly refering to it as a Rhino. IT IS CALLED A Rhinoceros. The Bham zoo also has two new white Rhinos where the Elephant used to be. They were neat to see but not very active. Our old pal, the black rhino was up and walking around...and as we have come to expect, gave us multiple demonstrations of watering the grass, rocks and fence. This sprayful demonstration always makes us laugh, even me and Mom start giggling with the boys. I don't know where the fascination with the rhinos came from...I am just glad Sam was not scarred from the San Diego Rhino. I know Tanya and Joe probably remember what I am refering to... :)
Well that was about all for our trip. We made a quick run through the monkey house...but it was lunch time and we needed some BBQ.

Stories From Granny

Below are a few stories Granny sent to me and I wanted to post. I did not have any pics from their visit to Granny's, but did find some funny ones with them wearing stuff Granny and Granddaddy brought back from Hawaii:

Sam wanted a green race car from Walmart. It was after supper and we were heading home from West Point. Sam said we could go and be real fast!! Granddaddy and Granny and Sam could go in Walmart real fast and leave Davis in the car. Granddaddy asked him what we would do if we cann't find a baby green race car at Walmart. Sam said we could just go to another Walmart. Granddaddy told Sam we only have one Walmart. Sam said, "You only have one Walmart?!? Sam has three Walmarts at his house."

*Sam did later get this race car spending the dollar given to him from Grandaddy’s boss Chuck. He wanted a Chick Hicks car from the movie Cars. He likes it because it is the mean one. Still trying to figure out if this was a good choice or not. Scott.

After Sam’s bath, he was told that he needed to brush his teeth and put on his medicine. I got some of vapor rub on my fingers and asked him where do put it. He pointed to his neck. After I rubbed it on his neck and chest he said that's enough Granny. He then went into the living room and told his Granddaddy to put his drink right here and his food and leave the T.V. on. His preparation for the morning.

It was also sweet hearing Davis call for me during the night. After I took him from his bed I laid down with him in the guest room and he snuggled up so close to sleep. He popped up once to give my face and rub and ran his hand through my hair then wiggled down right next to me again and we both went to sleep.

Me and Daddy had the time of our lives, laughing so hard at the little things they said and did. We look forward to your next date night!!

Surprises







Just now finishing this post that I started about 2 months ago, where does the time go?!?!
The first set of pictures are of the boys and their dollar tree dinos that dad brought home for them after his long trip.
The flowers are of course for me : )
Aren't they gorgeous, I have been dying to try out that vase that mom got for me and I liked the way they looked in it.
In one of the pictures Davis is feeding one of those dinos he had actually put a bite of food in its' mouth and then pushed the mouth up and down to chew it. So cute but kind of gross!

The second group of pictures are of the gifts that the boys got from Granny and Grandaddy's trip to Hawaii! Now I know what you are thinking, Coconuts, Pineapples, grass skirts, but no we're talking gloves and mittens : )
Apparently these things aren't a top seller in Hawaii (go figure)and they found them at a Great price. Well, Hawaii or not, the boys LOVED them. Sam carried his around for a few days in the orange cooler bag he also got from them. As we pulled up to the church building on Sunday and openned the van door, on a 70 degree sunny day, Sam said "Ooooo, that's cold, better wear my hat and dloves"
SO he wore them into church and as soon as we said Amen to go home, he had them on again : )
