Went to Spokane for some fun with our buds





Our good friends Jake, Janelle, Caleb and Emily had myself and all the boys over for a sleepover. The day started out at Greenbluff, the Apple Orchard we visited before moving, it was the "deydrated pea" place. You may remember the story about the pea in Collin's nose.
Cameron just loved it! We would hear these little giggles from him as he was diving in. It was a great visit! Thank you for having us.

So Dramatic...Geeeeesssshh








Look's like Cammy is a baby for halloween! How original.

Meet my lil Chipmunk, Alvin



Alvin.........I mean Cameron, is proud to announce the arrival of tooth #5 and possibly #6.

I don't remember Collin and Connor growing up as fast as Cameron is. He is so determined to be like the older boys. He is by far the most fearless out of the bunch. He climbs the bunk bed ladder, chairs, and oh man does he love standing up high. I am fearful he is an adrenaline junky! He climbs on top of the toy box and looks at me with this grin of total accomplishment and excitement. When I can't see Cameron, I get very nervous.

I need to remember that life is unexpected

Almost a year ago, Collin woke up sick. I just thought, oh it's Hives. Yet another "thing" we picked up along the way. Everyday I think about how awful it was sleeping next to my first baby in a hospital bed. Not knowing what was wrong or if he was going to have a life changing disease. Cameron remains a constant "what if" and yet they are all so wonderfully healthy. I read about freak accidents or terminal illnesses everyday (yeah, I know.....that's my first problem). Yet, every day we complain about silly minuscule things. They may seem big to us in the moment, but they are not! So, here's the challenge. Start a fresh day and say NOTHING negative, to yourself or your loved ones. See, if you can bite your tongue for one entire day. I tried this myself and was not successful, but it was a fun challenge non the less. It made me really see what I need to work on. Maybe, add to the challenge everyday and see if eventually you get thru an entire day of a new "positive" you! While I was sick in bed, I was able to catch John Edwards, Crossing over. I liked what he said about living in the now (righting our wrongs), because we can't change anything when we are gone.

Flowers from my SWEET boys!



I received flowers from my boys today! They picked them out because they had my favorite color "pink". These are so special to me, I had to document and preserve them for ever and ever. These came in especially handy since I have had an aweful head cold and I got a burn on my thumb from my straight iron. I have had frozen mixed veggies on my hand for the last 5 hours and counting. OUCH, this hurts!

This is my 100th Post....Wow


This post sets "my 3 sons" blog at "100" posts and I can't believe it! I must say, this blog has really helped me get thru some rough patches. It's nice to share and know that other people are interested in my little family. I know you are all stopping by even in you don't post comments. So, thank you for checking in.



Cooie loves lolly pops, what kid doesn't right! I used this one as a bribe to get some pictures of him. Man, was he cooperative. When we got to Walgreen's, I told him they had lolly pops as big as his head......I don't think he believed me. When I showed it to him, his eyes grew big and he said....."it is as big as my head, mommy". Oh, how lovely to be 3 and just loose yourself in a sugary mass of goodness, the size of your head.

These days you don't get a photo of this little man without his tongue. Not sure if it's a nervous thing or if he's just being goofy.

The kids played with Spidy today!



It was Cousin Cooper's 5Th B-day and Grammy got Spider Man for the party. What a hit he was, even Tony had fun with Spidy. Collin up until this was always afraid of people in costume. I will never forget pulling up to a stop light and looking to my right. "Hey Collin, look it's Little Caesar!" He screamed so loud, Tony and I could not contain our laughter. He was about 2, so it took him that long to get over it. I am not sure, maybe it's just Spider Man he likes.

Getting some practice in for some October Jobs


Well, I am taking on some jobs for October, so Collin is my little poser. He is a good sport and when he's done he tell's me, "mom you get 2 more shots -k-"!

The boys in B & W, my Fav.




I thought I would share my boys in b&w today. Hope you are all having a wonderful Wednesday. Collin is making a bunny rabbit face if you were wondering. Cammy just had his first grilled cheese sandwich and Cooie stopped long enough to give me a smile.

The leaves are changing colors.





The leaves are changing colors and days at the park just seem better with a little chill in the air. Whatcha think of my little man, who will be 5 in 3 months! I can't believe how fast they grow.

A Davis family portrait......or as close as we could get!


Collin started school today and he seemed happy to be back in class. I on the other hand stress too much and the morning was not smooth at all. Collin's teacher had us send an encouraging note with a family picture. I searched and had nothing with all of us in it, so we set up the tri-pod last night. This photo is not good in comp. and I certainly had a tough time getting certain subjects to cooperate. But, here it is, the Davis clan!

Cameron and testing


As I mentioned in a previous post, Cameron is being tested to make sure his AFP levels are ok. He had the first blood draw and it was at level #8. Children's hospital apparently goes up to #12 as normal. I believe, although it has not been said by the ped. that he is just being extra cautious because the #'s conflict with what he was told vs. what Children's goes by. It does make me feel good that Children's thinks this a normal level and also that Cameron's ped is so on top of things. We went in for an ultrasound and have not heard back from the ped. about the results. Aside from me yelling at the ultrasound tech, Cameron did pretty well with this ultrasound. Tomorrow we go in for a repeat blood draw to see if the AFP level has changed. So, I hope that level is either lower or the same. If it indicates an increase it's more testing for my poor little man. He will turn "1" on Wednesday so I hope we celebrate with good news. My heart tells me he is ok! I have gotten a little used to the idea of him having this disorder, so it's not as scary to me anymore. When the Dr. calls your house however, it's tummy ache city. Will update when I know anything else.
