SIX RANDOM THINGS...

Well, I have been tagged so I guess it is my turn to do 6 Random things about me....

1. When I got pregnant with Kolsen I became allergic to my Wedding Ring and I haven't been able to wear it since. My finger breaks out in a rash and itches really bad. We keep meaning to get it coated with something by my uncle who is a jeweler, but never have time. So it looks like we aren't married.
2. I have had Lasik surgery on my eyes. It was the best thing I have ever done! What an amazing feeling to wake up and be able to see right when you open your eyes. I think people take that for granite.

3. I have been sky diving. When I was 19 years old, me and a bunch of my singles ward friends went to the Mirana airport and jumped out of plane's. I went tandem of course, but what an incredible feeling. My landing was a little hard though. You are suppose to tuck your feet up and let the guy run to stop, but my toes caught and I "superman ed" it on the run way. O well, it was hilarious. I would do it again in a heartbeat! I have it on video somewhere, but I can't find it.

4. I like to play with Kolsen's toys more than he does. He has a few toys that he can't figure out so I take them and try to play with them, but he isn't good at sharing yet.

5. I love naps. I don't get them very often but if I get the chance to take a nap you better believe I am going to take one.


6. I hate milk. The only way I can drink milk is if I flavor it with chocolate or something. I am so against it that I pour it in my cereal and when I go to take a bite, I dump the milk it off my spoon. That way my cereal still gets wet but I don't have to taste it.

GOT MILK???

That was fun! Here are some pictures that Jessica took for Kolsen's 1 year pictures. They turned out way cute! The last picture is one of my first scrapbook page that I did for my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary. Cute huh. Jess helped me.

I love doing those things. anyways, I just thought I would give everyone an update on our family. Not much is going on right now, but we are all doing good and keeping busy. Kolsen has gotten so fun these past few weeks since he started walking. If he is anywhere near you and you say "I'm gonna get you" or "you better run" he will run away laughing. It works every time. It is so cute. I also have some good news about my sister HEATHER. She just got promoted to be the MANAGER at her store. We are all so proud of her and all that she has accomplished in her life. She is a wonderful person, a hard worker, and a good wife and mother. I am so proud of how hard she has worked and I want her to know that I look up to her very much! I am glad that her, Spencer, and Lexi are in our lives and I wish her the best of luck with the new position!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KOLSEN!!!

I CAN'T BELIEVE MY BABY IS 1YEAR OLD TODAY! TIME FLIES WHEN YOU HAVE KIDS. IT HAS BEEN SO MUCH FUN WATCHING HIM GROW AND LEARN THIS PAST YEAR AND SEEING HIS LITTLE PERSONALITY SHOW THROUGH. WE HAD HIS PARTY YESTERDAY WITH OUR FAMILY. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN AND KOLSEN DID SUCH A GOOD JOB OPENING HIS PRESENTS. IN FACT THE SECOND PICTURE IS WHAT WE HAD TO DO TO KEEP HIM AWAY FROM THEM UNTIL EVERYONE GOT THERE. IT WAS FUNNY BECAUSE WHENEVER HE WOULD OPEN ONE HE WOULD HAVE TO TASTE IT BEFORE WE COULD GO TO THE NEXT. IT WAS CUTE.
JASON AND I ALSO TRIED TO MAKE A CAKE. IT IS A FIRST TIME CAKE SO DON'T MAKE FUN. WE HAD A BLAST DOING IT (WELL, I CAN SAY THAT AFTER THE FACT) BECAUSE EVERYTHING WE DID WENT WRONG, BUT IT TURNED OUT OK. KOLSEN WAS SO FUNNY ABOUT EATING THE CAKE TOO. HE LOVED THE FROSTING, BUT DIDN'T LIKE THE CAKE TO MUCH. I THINK HE LIKED THE PLATE MORE. IT WAS FUN AND WE THOUGHT WE WOULD SHARE THE PIC'S WITH YA. WE ALSO WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO CAME. IT WAS A REALLY FUN NIGHT AND WE ARE GLAD THAT YOU COULD COME AND SHARE THAT WITH US!





THE END RESULT

LOOK WHAT I CAN DO!!!

THESE IMAGES ARE PRETTY SELF EXPLANATORY BUT IF NOT, MY SON HAS NOW FIGURED OUT HOW TO GO THROUGH MY PARENTS DOG DOOR. HE HAS BEEN WATCHING THE DOGS FOR A WHILE AND LIFTING IT UP TO LOOK AT GUS WHEN HE COMES IN, BUT RACHEL FOUND HIM DOING THIS THE OTHER DAY AND GOT SOME FUNNY PICTURES. JUST THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE!!!

Liven The Crazy Life!!

This month has been so insane! Has it been that way for anyone else? Well it started with Conference which was wonderful, my birthday, Heather's birthday, then Easter and Jessica Curtis's Farewell all in the first two weeks. Then we had Activity Day, Jason's seminars, and painting our room then next week. Which is still under construction. I hate picking paint because it looks different in different lights. It is hard to match everything!!! Anyway, this was a picture of our family at the farewell. I got a really cute one of Jess and I but I haven't downloaded it yet. The farewell was so good. It was in the singles ward, which was fun to see old friends but hard to deal with a busy baby because it is so quiet. Everyone is single so there are no kids. I forgot how quiet it was. So every time Kolsen made a peep I told him to shush! Jessica was so amazing though. I am so proud of her and all that she has accomplished in her life. I look up to her so much and know she will do amazing things on her mission. You could feel that she was ready to go and has grown so close to the Lord. She Left last Tuesday and is now in the MTC. She will report to Washington, DC in 2 weeks. Good Luck Jess! Well everything else is about normal. Kolsen is cruising now and is walking more than crawling so it has been fun trying to keep up with him. Jason is doing good and might be looking into school soon so we will see where that leads us. Well, that's what is up with us. It is so fun seeing all the birthday pictures and we can't wait to post ours! Happy Birthday everyone!!!

San Fransisco

What a fun weekend! Dr. Johns took our office on a staff trip last weekend. It was awesome. We went to San Fransisco and did a lot of touring. We went to Alcatraz (which is a very creepy and very interesting old prison), Sausalido, Pier 39, Ghirardelli square(the chocolate city...which was under construction) and did some shopping in China town. It was so fun. Dr. Johns spoiled us the entire trip and I think I lost 10 lbs. from laughing so much. To introduce everyone the first picture from the left is: Nancy (the office manager), Amy (assistant), Judi (assistant), Anne (front desk), Dr. J, Tira (assistant), Judy Johns (Wife), and Me
(the favorite). This was at pier 39 where we did a lot of shopping and froze. It was cold and misty at night which we are not use to so we were all freezing. Amy and I roomed together and let me tell you she is hilarious. She is on the right in the picture below. We had so much fun and we stayed up for hours every night goofing off.



This is a picture of us shopping in Sausalido. This was our third day of shopping and it was cold, windy, and there was this fog that made it feel like you were always wet, so you can see why we look so excited to be there. Plus that bench was granite and froze our bums!







This is a picture of the limo that we rode around in. You should have seen us all try to get in and out of that thing everywhere. It was a pretty funny sight. I don't know how people do that in dresses.



And this was Alcatraz. This place was so interesting. We took a ferry over to the island and got to go through and tour it. They gave you your own set of headphones that walked you through and told stories of the prisoners and guards and had the actual people speaking. It was amazing but kind of scary at the same time because of what happened there. Well, It was a good trip, but it was hard to leave my family at home. It was the first time I have ever left Jason and the longest I have left Kolsen so it was so good to see them when we got home. I missed them a lot. I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend as much as I did.

Just an Update

Hello everyone! Isn't my husband beautiful. He is so goofy and loves to pose. Good thing he never looks at our blog or he would kill me for putting this picture up!

Well life in the Davis house hold has been just a little crazy. On Tuesday Kolsen got really sick and we almost took him to the ER. It all started on Sunday. He had a little cough and runny nose over the weekend, which we thought nothing of until the cough turned into a bad wheezing sound and his temperature was in the 102's for several days. We tried the humidifier, Tylenol, and everything else we could think of but nothing was working. Finally on Tuesday morning when his fever hadn't gone down and he was gasping for air I took him into the doctor to get antibiotics or something. Well, they did several test including his blood oxygen levels (which are suppose to be around 98) and his were in the 80's and everything was coming back very low. We had to give him a steroid shot in the bum, which was hard to watch and do some breathing treatments. She wanted me to stay for a few hours to monitor him and she told us that if his levels weren't higher in an hour or so that we would have to take him to the hospital. After 2 hours he started to get a little better and we were able to go home, but we had to give him steroids and breathing treatments for the next several days. The treatments are almost impossible for little boys that don't like to sit still. Anyway, he is doing much better and his breathing is almost back to normal. The only sad thing was that we have some family that moved in over the weekend and are staying in our casita for the next few months and Kolsen couldn't play with the kids because he was very contagious. It was driving him crazy to see them playing outside and he wasn't allowed out. He just sat by the window and would wave to them. It was very cute but sad. Other than that we are doing great. Jason's job is doing really well and we love having our family here.

IT'S A LOVE/HATE RELATIONSHIP

Let me start by saying I love shoes. I don't think you can ever have to many. They come in all shapes and sizes and if I was rich I would have a different pair for every outfit. But let me tell you that with style and looks usually comes pain! I found some cute shoes for Chelsey's Wedding and now even though it is a few days later I think I am going to cut my legs off. They hurt so bad. I also have to confess that it wasn't all the shoes fault. My legs are not in the best shape anymore and after all the dancing, walking, and standing on my tip toes to hug everyone my legs could not take it and they have been screaming at me ever since. Just thought I would vent! The things we do for beauty!!!

WEDDING BELLS ARE IN THE AIR

My best friend Chelsey and her fiance Leiland got married this weekend. The were married in the Mesa, AZ Temple on Friday and they had their reception on Saturday. It was a beautiful ceremony and a gorgeous reception. I got to be a bridesmaid which was a lot of fun too. Chelsey looked absolutely stunning and Leiland was handsome as always. They are such a cute couple and so perfect for each other. I know they will have a wonderful and fun life together. They deserve it! They have a similar story to ours. They dated before he left on his mission and when he got back, they were engaged in 3 days. Same as us. They just did that so they could say that we tied instead of us winning. Here are some of my favorite pictures.




Congrats to my Best Friend!!! I Love Ya!!!

We wanted to get a picture of our family at the wedding, but it was crazy and we went home before we remembered to get one. So this is later that night.

BIG STEP

Well, We have entered a whole new chapter in our life. Kolsen took his first steps a few days ago. I was sitting on the floor playing with him as he was walking along the couch, when he let go and took 3 steps to me. I had no idea that he could do that yet and I just sat there in shock for a minuet. After taking it in, I stood him up on the other couch to see if he would do it again and he took another 3 steps over to our love sack. I yelled cause I was so excited and scared him which made him fall over. We both laughed and I immediately called Jason. He has done it a few times since then, but he is still trying to figure out that he needs to move his feet before he tries to move forward. He leans forward and gets ahead of himself and stumbles to us. We have tried to get it on the video camera, but he doesn't perform when we want him to. He gets that from his dad. We were so excited and then the thought hit us that when he starts walking, next comes running. Which means I will never sit down again. O well, it will get me in shape I guess.

Great Day For Yard Work

Well it was just another beautiful day in Arizona. Jason finally got the day off on Wednesday, so we decided to work on the yard and do some projects around the house. It was a gorgeous day to be outside. We got some light showers in the morning and the rest of the afternoon was amazing. We also had fun with the camera so I thought I would share.



I Love the Camera,








and I Love My Daddy!!!

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year Everyone! It has started out great for us and we hope the same for all of you. Not much is new with Kolsen and I, but Jason is moving to a new area in his company which is exciting. He will be doing sales and working with investors and new clients and leaving leasing behind. We are very excited for him to switch but with change comes the scary things of the unknown. I guess we will see how it all works out. Other than that life is pretty normal, except our son is cheesing life up more and more. This is the face he makes when you talk to him now. It makes me laugh every time.


He is also exploring the world of self feeding. He doesn't quite have it down yet, cause if he drops something he will grab whatever is close and eat that instead. Whatever keeps him happy I guess. Those bitter biscuits are so messy!!!

SANTA BABY

We went to the Richardson's Christmas party a few nights ago. It was a lot of fun to see everyone and Kolsen got to see Santa for the first time. He loved it. He thought Santa was pretty funny, and then he gave him a candy cane. It was all over from there. We opened it and let him have a taste and he didn't want to put it down. Lexi (our niece) also got to see Santa. She looked so cute in her little red dress. It is fun having a little girl around. It was a fun night and we are very excited for Christmas to come. Also, the other picture was just me messing around with an old camera I found that had just a few pictures left. The quality definitely isn't the same as the digital cameras.

My First Hair Cut

Kolsen got his first Hair cut yesterday. He did such a good job and enjoyed that sucker so much. The only time he moved was when Jason used the little trimmer by his ear. It vibrated a lot and it mad him shiver. But other than that he did great. We didn't realize how bad he needed one until we started cutting. He had a lot more hair than we thought. It turned out really cute, but it makes him look much older. I can't believe how fast he is growing up! Jason had fun doing it and after we were done he went right into the bath tub! He was messy!!!

All Clean!!!

What Happens In VEGAS Stays In VEGAS!

Jason and I had such a blast this weekend. We went to Jason's company Christmas party in Las Vegas. We got to stay in the Bellagio and our room had the most Georgous view. The famous fountains were right out our window and we would watch them every hour. It was beautiful and it was a very exciting hotel. The only bad thing was that every time you wanted to leave or return to your room you would end up smelling like smoke because you had to walk through the casino. The dinner was wonderful too. It was a black tie event so we dress up and had a fancy dinner and night on the town. One of the highlights was that Jason was recognized and got an award. Some great things were said about him by Mark (his boss) and he was praised for his hard work and high integrity. He is such a good worker and an honest person and I am so lucky to have him as my husband. I am really proud of him and the wonderful man that he is. One of the main reasons he is this way is because of his wonderful parents. Alan and Debbie taught him all he knows and they also received a very high award and were recognized for all that they do for the company.
It was also the first time we have left kolsen for more than a couple hours. It was a little hard at first, but we got through it and he had a great time with my family and I am sure he loved all the attention.
