First Game, Go Cubs!

Carter had his first game last Saturday and it was so much fun to watch him. He had 10 people there who came to support him and he was so excited. Joseph is head coaching this year and he was made for that. He is so good with them and he has gotten many emails and praises from the parents about what a good job he is doing. I think that makes it all worth it. Papa is Carters team sponser this year and he was so excited to see it on the back of his jersey. After the game he ran out of the dugout screaming, "I won Mommy!" and they did win, Go Cubs. Going to be a fun season.

The Easter Bunny

Saturday night we took the kids to see the Easter Bunny. Bentley was sooooooooo excited to sit in his lap. Well, in years past that hasnt worked out so well.......

So, when we got there she saw him and started waving with the biggest grin on her face. The closer we got, the grin slowly started to fade, Carter hopped right up in his lap and she freaked out, screaming NNNNOOOO! I picked up her and she stared waving again. I told her I would get in the picture with them. So we walked up and she said, "I sit Bunny lap" and she did and she smiled. Could not believe it! That is HUGE progress for her. She was SO PROUD of herself and so were all of us. Carter hugged her and said "big girl sissy." SO, from then on she was obsessed and waved to him forever and of course didn't want to leave.

After that we ran into Strasburg to get her a bow for her Easter dress and they had Blues Clues on, Bentleys favorite. I look over and they were doing this and since I had my camera thought I should capture the moment, so sweet!
After that we ate dinner at Jason's Deli then went to the much talked and raved about Yogurt Mountain. Cool place with any and every topping you could ever want, from cereal to pop tarts. Cold stuff is not my weakness so I had a few bites of Josephs and the kids. It was really good. I just watched the MASSIVE crowds that came in and out while they all ate.

The Zoo

Yesterday my sister-in-law and my cousins wife Meredith, took the kids to the zoo. It was a beautiful day and felt great outside. Didn't get many pictures, too chaotic :)

I didn't even get any pictures of my niece Emerson, but she is behind them and this pic.

Atlanta

Joseph had a couple of meetings in Atlanta this week, so the kids and I decided to tag along for a few days. As always, it was interesting :) After eating dinner on the way there, Carter got stomach cramps and screamed the last 45 minutes there that his stomach hurt, then as soon as we got there, he was fine, go figure :) After unloading the car and watching the HUGE fish at the hotel (which consumed Bentley the whole time, if we looked at those fish once, we saw them 1000 times) I asked Joseph where the pack-n-play was and he said he didnt bring it. Bentley has never slept with us and I hope she never does, so she likes her own space...I told him to find the nearest Target or Babies R'Us and go get one. This conversation lasted about 30 minutes and as you can imagine, he was none too happy...:) There happened to be a Target 5 minutes from where we were staying. Well, did she sleep in it...for about 4 hours and that was it for the night. Joseph left early for his meetings so the kids and I went ahead and got up, since no one slept, and went downstairs for breakfast. Carters comment..."Atlanta is the best, because they have breakfast downstairs" We then went back to put on swimsuits to swim in the indoor pool, which was cold and didn't last long. Later on we ordered room service and then the kids took 3 hour naps :) When Joseph got back we went to the Aquarium which Bentley LOVED (she loves ANY animal) and Carter comment at least 50 times, "this place is boring, why did we come here?" Then we had dinner at Hard Rock Cafe and called it a night. That night Bentley did sleep in the pack-n-play ALL night...thank you Lord! The next morning we took them to the Children's Museum, which was so neat and they LOVED it. Carter said it was much better than the aquarium :) We had fun and it was nice to have a chnage of scenery.

The famous Pack-N-Play, which we returned the day we left :)






























Joseph was done by this point...LOL

Two Birthdays and a Baby

This past Friday my wonderful husband celebrated his 30th birthday. Im sure it wasnt spent the way he planned, at a baby shower, but he had a good day. Last weekend we went to his parents house where we had filet and chicken along with Edgars yummy cake. Friday, his family and the kids and I all met at Red Lobster and had lunch. Later that evening we threw a baby shower for my very best friend Jennifer and Scott. They will welcome baby Cade into the world in May and I am so happy for them. We all threw a couples shower at Leannes house and we had a great time, as usual. I told Joseph that even though this wasnt his ideal birthday, thats who we would have spent it with anyways :) I did surprise him at the shower with a strawberry cake from Edgars...is it obvious we LOVE Edgars?









Saturday afternoon we celebarted some more, this time in honor of Jacksons 1st birthday. The kids had a great time and he obviously enjoyed his cake. Then Sunday, my parents kept the kids while we went to J. Alexanders for dinner. We had a fun weekend spent with best friends.

We Are Still Alive

My mom has been on me about not blogging and I just haven't been in the mood. We do have alot of "happenings" at the Davis house so here is an overview. We put our house on the market and have a showing tomorrow, so that consumed alot of my time, getting that ready and fixing some things the realtor suggested and so on. Keeping your house "showable" is NOT fun with a 2 and 4 year old. We haven't had too many picture worthy things going on, lots of birthday parties and I haven't remembered my camera half the time.



This little man is playing T-ball again this year and he is so excited. Joseph is coaching and it looks like "The Cubs" are going to be a pretty good little team. I LOVE watching him play, but I do not love chasing Bentley ALL over the park :) He will also be 5 next month and I CANNOT believe it. He wants to have a "jump" party again with a Star Wars theme. The other day he said, "Lets look at invitations and plates on the computer." Haha, yes, he is my child!



This little monkey who was at a gymnastics birthday party and would NOT look at me has big news...SHE IS POTTY TRAINED! That was seriously the easiest thing I have ever done. Actually, I feel like I didn't even do anything, she did it. After three days of a few accidents, she has been dry ever since. I have always heard girls are easier, and with Bentley that was so true. I am so proud of her and she did it without any bribes or rewards. She also started crawling out of her crib and I was sooo not ready for that. I lowered the rail on her crib so she wouldn't be jumping from so high up, but she hasnt done it in over a week, so who knows.
