Thank you for the FLU.....what a waste of week!

WARNING: Don't read while eating or drinking your coffee.

4 out of the 5 of us Davis' were not so blessed with the Flu last week. I'm not sure if anyone is interested in the details, but here they are. It all started with Cameron! It was a typical morning, I woke to Cameron crying. When the door was opened let's just say I wanted to run. Tony and I worked as a clean-up team. Got the job done and he seemed fine. The next am, same thing! Part of me thought he just ate something bad and dismissed it. The other part of me was worried that he had the flu but no fever etc. I had plans to go to Olympia that Saturday morning and since he was happy, energetic and we were all looking forward to seeing my family off we went. Tony stayed behind the catch up on housework (movies & video games was the real intention). We met up with the fam and all was great with the world. I started to feel nauseous around 7pm when a phone call from Tony (that he was sick as a dog) sent me into a frenzy. I packed up all the kids at 9pm and decided I would head home. If I was getting sick I was going to do it at home.

I made it about 15 min into the drive and had to pull over. Little Collin pipes up and says "mom, I think you need a doctor".

Get back on the road and get to the pass.....it's covered in SNOW! All wheel drive required, so I changed gears and go with the flow of traffic doing 25 mph. At that moment Cooie starts to toss his cookies all over! I looked at the blackest most evil of sky and asked "why GOD". Pull over on the PASS with my flip flops on and no winter coat & blizzard type snowflakes hitting me to clean up. All I had was Aloe Vera smelling baby wipes. I must say, the most awful discovery was a scented baby wipe! I will be banning them after the 500 from Costco are gone! I thought this to myself once or twice cleaning up doo doo, but it was confirmed that no scent in the world should try and match that of poop or otherwise. Same goes for scented sprays in the bathroom, but that's for another post!

Get back into the car and go about half mile to come to a stop for AVALANCHE CONTROL! I looked up at the UGLY black sky and asked again "why GOD" this time with tears a flowin!

All this to finally get home at 2am and clean up my poor little trooper who was sooo sick, being soooo sick myself to spend the next 4-5 days doing laundry after laundry after laundry!

Collin is the only one to escape this! I hope we are in the clear. I also hope you all don't get this!

On a happier note, we are all better and enjoying the nice weather and happy that it's SPRING!

Cammy has a knack for Gabba stacking ( how do you like the tummy)

Cooie on his scooter and loving it!

Cammy at the park and loving it!

Cooie happy to be Flu Free!

A little father son moment of love! Hey Cammy that's our thing!

THE END!

Cameron is 18 months old

Cameron is 18 months old this month. It makes me wonder why time is going by at a faster rate with him. I feel like it's going super fast. I won't have more kids but what will I do when I don't have a little guy like this to photograph. I am addicted to my camera and close ups of Cameron. Ever since he was born. Maybe, it's because it is the last baby in the house that makes it seem so valuable. Here is YET ANOTHER close up shot of Cameron......I promise to start photographing and posting something else.

Oooooooh sooooooo Sleeeeeeepy

I am sooooooo sleepy! I want to sit on the couch in my jammies, like I did before my 3 sons! I want to watch girly movies in bed like I did when it was just me! I would like to know from all the mommies out there how they get couch time. I get my couch time at 8pm when they all go to bed. The only problem is that I fall asleep as soon as I hit the couch!

Made with love by mommy!

I made some t-shirts for the boys today! You should have seen Cameron's face when I showed him his new Toodee shirt!!! He was sooo happy!

Cammy is OBSESSED!

Everyone should know (if you don't already) that Cameron is in love with Yo Gabba Gabba! I take responsibility for the introduction to "commercialism" in my house. This is now a total obsession! Cameron owns these figures he has in his little hands. They were a gift from daddy for Christmas. I took him down the aisle where the "Gabba" toys live and all he wants is these characters. So I let him hold them, thinking he will get tired of them. After all, he totes them around 6-8 hours a day already. This is aisle #1!

This is aisle #2!


You will notice he is looking up! The only reason I got his attention is because I said "GABBA" in my most exciting voice.
This is aisle #3 after he realized I was a fraud! You get the picture, it's quite the little obsession he has. I am not always proud of what I have done, but it does make him happy!

And this, well.......all boys think it's funny to show mommy a SNAKE!

And this is the other obsession gone bad. Ben 10! Oh, the madness. Oh the money over the next 15 years. Those childhood memories are priceless. And, if I could find the storage bins I would share with you all my massive collection of cabbage patch dolls and strawberry shortcake dolls that I am sure I just had to have. I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree after all!

Happy shopping to all the mommies out there! Thanks mom for buying me all the cool stuff when I was a wee one!!!!

A day at the park!

Today the sun was out and Cooie begged me to go to the park. We have been wanting to go to the park by our house, so I gave in. The only problem is the ground was wet. I turned around and Cammy was in the giant mud puddle. He is not like the other boys, he really likes to get dirty!

Happy Birthday Uncle F*@*!

Teeeeee Heeeeee!

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday Uncle, brother Collier! Happy Birthday to you!

We miss you and will be thinking of you on your special b-day! When you come for the next visit your b-day dinner will be awaiting you.....at the restaurant of your choice of course! Hope you have a wonderful comedy night and can't wait to hear about it!!!

My little lounge lizard

He melts my heart! He has the cold that Collin & Cooie can't seem to shake. He is handling it well considering.

A great day with a GREAT friend!

Today was a FANTABULOUS day! I had a little adventure with a great new friend. Was able to see some new things in the town I live in. It was SOOO nice to be out and see wonderful things....most of them I really want but certainly don't need! It's fun to look!Ilove this outfit!

Thomas came to Yakima

We took the boys to see Thomas last Friday. They are usually in bed by 7:30-8pm every night to they were struggling at about 8pm. We left a little early, but the show was adorable! These were taken on my camera phone.

What the heck!

So, here's the deal! I'm turning 33 in a couple months and this photo really shows my age. I did not really realize I was going to be..........33!!!! What the HECK is going on. I'm not supposed to get older. I also thought it was funny how my recent captures look the same. Cooie and myself and Collin and Cammy. The boys have colds so we stayed in this weekend. The boys still have tons of energy so this weekend required creativity I just did not have. The TV was my best friend and the boys never complain about that.

My favorite "Baby" moments

I love when they wake up from a nap. They are so fresh and new. Sometimes Cammy wakes up grumpy but snaps out of it with a good "tooootie" (cookie) pictured above. Have a fantabulous weekend ya'll!!!!

Kids and family pets

Cooie is the animal lover of the bunch! He always has been. So, I thought I would share share some Cooie and Kitty moments. A boy and his dog, it's just so sweet.

Today the eyes are blue!

It looks like Cammy's eyes are blue!

This is COOL!

Hey, Famdamily! If you have a photo you would like to see as a canvas, send it to me! I am loving this new canvas action I found & it's cool to be able to see what it would look like. I purchased a small canvas a year ago and really like it. They are expensive, but worth it! I am buying some bigger canvases soon, and will post them when I know what ones I am doing!

I love my little guys!

I fell in love today!

The boys and I had a very special Valentines day outing. We made a new friend while we were out. I almost gave myself a v-day present. She was so cute peeking out under the kiddy toys. She wanted some lovin so bad, but was too shy to get some. I wish I would have had a cat carrier, but why on earth would I travel with one of those!

Just a pic. of my big school boy!

Cooie has his 2ND day of preschool tomorrow and he's very excited. He has valentine goody bags for all his new friends. Pretty funny how putting them in school makes them seem so much older. Just looking at this picture does not even look like the Cooie from yesterday.
