Davis' First Birthday Party!!

I can't believe how fast the first year of Davis' life went. He is the easiest baby and just so happy. He sleeps like its his job and smiles all day long. We always look at each other and wonder how we got so lucky. We can't imagine our family without out. Oh, how we love you Davis!! I went with a winter wonderland theme since he was our winter baby. We had all of our close family and friends there and it was great. Davis didn't hesitate diving into the cake :).

Winter Dance Recital 11/2014

It was time for Brooklyn's winter dance recital, so I paid for the costume and got her all ready. She sat there and did nothing!! She just played with a necklace she had on. We were pretty mad lol. I guess she just wasn't feeling it! She sure looked cute though.

Florida Beach Trip October 2014

Out of the blue one day, my good friend Emi's mom sent me a message on Facebook asking me if I wanted to fly out to Florida to visit her as a surprise for her birthday! Sounded like a good idea to me! We found a few days that worked and me and the kids headed off to Florida. I was a little nervous about the flight but it wasn't that bad. We were lucky enough to sit next to a nice girl that helped me entertain the kids, mostly Davis. That child never sits still!! I stood up with him most of the time but there was little screaming so I will consider it a win. We got to Florida late and the kids went right to bed. As my luggage was coming out at baggage claim, my zipper broke and my luggage exploded everywhere, it was awesome. NOT. Emi's parents house is amazing, like its own resort. We stayed in the guest house and had all the space we needed. We spent most days at the pool cuz it was so easy with two babies still taking two naps a day. We would run out to shop while all 4 kids were asleep in the afternoon. We went to the beach one day and its as beautiful. The sand is so soft and so white. Davis ate it by the handful. I've never been to the gulf side so it was so weird to me to have a beach with no waves. Perfect for the kids. We went out to dinner one night at a neat shopping center and the last night we went to downtown Naples and got ice cream and walked around. Brooklyn got sick and threw up twice but it didn't seem to phase her. It was long night for me for sure. It was so relaxing and SO much fun to be with Emi and her family. It was such a great trip and I have been wanting to go back ever since! Being Emi's birthday present has its perks!! It was Halloween the week I was there so we got pictures of the kids in matching pajamas, I love seeing all those kids together!

 Davis is only 3 months older but twice the size!

 There was a lot of tickling going on!

 We had s'more outside one night and these two couldn't stay out of the water.

Halloween 2014

Brooklyn decided she wanted to be a black cat for Halloween and so I decided to make Davis a pumpkin. We went to pick out pumpkins at Chatfield estates which is our favorite tradition. Liza and Brooklyn were determined to find the biggest pumpkin they could. We decided to go to Boo at the Zoo which was pure chaos. There were so many people!! The concept is great but waiting in 20 people deep lines for candy and dodging people the whole time wasn't exactly fun. Not to mention parking a mile away! We went trick or treating with Addy and our cousins. At the Trunk or Treat Davis just sat in the car and played with the bowl of candy. The night of Halloween we went trick or treating around Nana's neighborhood where everyone gives out huge candies. Its insane. Davis was just along for the ride. Brooklyn went with there cousins and Addy and had a blast. She LOVES Halloween!

 Gingerbread houses are her favorite christmas activity so when I saw the Halloween one, I had to!
