Just pics!

Today the glass is 1/2 empty....

I remember being little with the thought that I would never be an adult. It seemed so far away. Now, I look at the future and I know it's fast approaching and I can't do anything to stop it.

Why does no one prepare little girls for being a mommy. I mean, the usual nurturing you inherently get from your mother is there. But what about the hard times of parenting. We go to school to learn trades like cosmetology and accounting. Maybe, if there was a class I would know how to deal with my screaming, non sharing 3 sons. This sibling rivalry stuff has really rocked my world. And the parenting classes I've been to are taught by parents who think they are the authority, just because they can pop out 14 kids!

Baby boot camp, here we come! This summer it's summer school and responsibility in the Davis house. If this doesn't work, well.....Nanny 911 is getting a call! Don't get me wrong, the boys are for the most part good boys. Just don't ask them to share and we should be fine!

On the flip side, I am extremely grateful for these 3 blessings!

So nice outside!

Cammy and his first Doggie, Kitty! The official "cheese" face

Today I took Collin out for ice cream at Cold stone. I would have shared pictures of the event but I was too busy eating my oatmeal cookie batter cone. It was pretty hot today and after eating the ice cream on the patio of the ice cream shop, Collin pats his belly and says "I need to go home and take a nap". Sometimes he acts like an old man. The short walk to the car did him in and he asked me if he could take his shirt off!

More photos of Cameron, I know! He seems to be so photographed compared to Collin and Cooie, but he's the only one that wants to be with me. The other boys are too cool for mom these days.

He has my heart.

Cameron has my heart. He (along with all my children) have been handed to me to love and take care of. I could not be happier with who they are. I would NOT be OK if anything happened to any of them.

Cameron having Hemihypertrophy is not the worst possible news I could have received as a mother. He will live a great life. So, I am grateful for what we have.

We went to his routine check-up last week and I was told his Testicles have not dropped. He will need to see a specialist and will call me to set the appointment up. My heart sank! We are his everything and he is ours! This news is not life threatening, but I am still horrified. When will the bad news stop???

Here is a little info I pulled up on a google search for those interested in knowing the possibilities to come. http://www.urology.wustl.edu/PatientCare/UndescendedTesticle.asp

In the meantime he is just the most adorable, sweet, loving, funny, cute & smart baby in the world! OK, in my world!!!! I can say that because he's all mine. Undescended testicles and all!

When the tables are turned and my boys must care for me:

When the tables are turned and my 3 sons must take care of me, this is what I plan on doing:

If I still have my wits about me I vow to:

Scream at the top of my lungs at 5:30 am until someone comes and gets me. When the door opens I will stop screaming and say "Hello"!

Pee all over the toilet seat, floor and just for fun the bathroom rug.

Refuse to eat my home cooked meal, but 5 minutes later I will say " I want something to eat".

Walk into the bathroom and throw all the clean folded towels on the floor, and step on them.

Take dog food and throw into dog water.

Wear all their shoes, leave them all over the house and stuff them full of army men.

Now, how can I get them to agree on keeping me out of a nursing home?

No, I love it all! Just had to vent and now I feel so much better! Really, what an awesome job I have. I don't know what I would do with out my little men.

Backyard + Sunshine = Happy Kids

I am happy with our backyard! When the weather is nice the boys just love going outside. They really did not seem to mind playing outside when it was snowing! I am just happy to have a fenced in yard that's big enough for them to ride the cars and run in the sprinklers. While the boys were running around in the sprinklers, Cammy and I had a little one on one time. He let me take some pics of him while he watched Baby Einstein. He has not requested Gabba this past week, and I'm not complaining. I love the show, just don't want him to grow up thinking Gabba land is real.

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's day mommy!
Hope you have a great day and we can't wait to see you!

Love, Apey and Boyz

Cool dudes!

Thank you all for the b-day wishes!

I had a wonderful b-day thanks to all my friends and family! Tony and had a date night and went to dinner and shopping. I had been looking for a hat and found one last night. When Collin saw it he said it was not for mommies it was a daddy hat. So both boys posed for me in my new daddy hat. Have a great weekend!

Sweety Meeeeww cat

I can't believe he's going to be "4" in about 3 months! Cooie has such a wonderful laugh. I asked him to sit while I took some pics and he was such a pal. This was my fave shot of the day, not technically perfect, but he's not a paying customer so it's OK.

Happy Birthday Tiffany!

The boys and I wish you a Happy Birthday! Have a great one!!!!

Captain Hook's spring tea was today.

Meet Captain Hook (the one in the green)This was the line up of performers. This was the beginning and it looked so promising.Ahhhhhhhhhh, this is much better.

I do like playing jokes, just like my older brother. This was a conspiring moment where daddy told Cooie to tickle me with the flowers.

It was his first singing event! It was the most anticipated event in awhile. All was well with the world.......until.........another kid touched him. The growling and hissing started. While other children were bellowing "I'm a little teapot" Cooie was grunting. Good thing daddy was there to swoop in and grab the little hissing Coo frog. Afterwards, he enjoyed a cookie and shared with us the vase he made for us.

Hair.

This is how Cameron's hair ends up at the end of the day. So, I finally cut it tonight! Don't you just love the expression!!!

Black and White

My all time favorite is Black and White! Do you prefer B&W or Color?

Always in your face

Why is she always in my face with that thing?

I'm not going to smile.........I mean it!

I'm not........gonna..........HA HA!
When the camera comes out I usually get one "cheese" from Cameron.

On any given day, at least ONE kid has a war wound. This one is from a book being thrown down from the top bunk, where a little coo frog sleeps!

Back at our favorite picnic spot for some chocolate milk.

This is so worth your time........

I just had to share this blog in my blog post. It's that funny! At least it was to me. So, when you have the time for a good laugh go here http://listoftheday.blogspot.com/2007/09/great-olan-mills-photos.html but please don't skim you must read the captions.

Livin the life........baby!

This is Auntie Megan. She loves the boys. The boys love her. Collin is testing us lately. Man is he testing us. Aside from the curve ball he has thrown us with his defiant behavior, he's quite the social butterfly. Our neighbor (I have not even had a conversation with him yet) knows Collin very well. Easter morning he went over to the fence and started a conversation about Easter and what he got in his basket. He even asked the neighbor what he got from the Easter bunny. By the way, the neighbor got breakfast for Easter. Cooie, Cooie, Cooie! What a change he has made in the last 2 months. He is more confident and communicates a lot easier now. He loves school. I am so proud of my little man. Now, if I could just get him to stop peeing in the backyard. I don't tell them to go outside, infact I tell them the opposite. What is it about little boys and urinating on things. Collin is guilty of this too, I could not let Cooie take all the blame. Tony said if he goes to the bathroom outside one more time he will make him wear a diaper. Good luck with getting that on him Tony!
Cameron! Wow! This little guy loves taking the older brothers prized possessions and taunting them. First he takes it. He shows them he took it. Once he has gotten the attention of the victim he runs as fast as he can. He laughs at the pain he has caused. That's where I come in to save whatever he as stolen. This photo was Collin's Easter bunny and man did he enjoy taunting him with that. Cameron can say "Awesome" now among other cool words. He can tell you what the Gabba characters are going to say before they say it.

Easter fun!

The boys had a great Easter! They followed a trail of candy left by the Easter bunny to find baskets full of goodies.

Happy Easter to my family & friends!

What a productive day I've had

Today we finally trimmed the 20x20 prints I've had down to 19 3/4 x 19 3/4 since those are the frames I had. We put them on the wall, they are actually the photos in my blog header that I just had to blow up. I made a lasagna, carrot cake and hash brown casserole for tomorrows get together. The Easter baskets and Easter eggs are done for the egg hunt. We even went the Leavenworth with all the boys yesterday to meet some friends. I feel very accomplished and happy to have everything done on my wish list.

Have a Hoppy Easter!
