Chris' Birthday

This year Chris' birthday just happened to land on Easter. He turned 27 years old this year, but tried to tell everyone he was 30! I thought everyone wanted to be younger than they really are on their birthday, not older!! Anyways, after Easter dinner we broke out the ice cream cake from Dairy Queen and presents. He got some shirts, money, candy and a movie. All in all, I think he had a pretty good day! HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRIS!!!

Easter Sunday

My family was in town this year for Easter. It was great to see them. We are missing my sister, Ashley, and her husband, Kyle, my sister Briana, and her husband, Mike, and Parker...he was worn out from church and was sleeping! It was a beautiful day outside, except for a little wind. HAPPY EASTER!!!
My aunt and uncle decided to bless baby Boyd on Easter since my uncle's parents were in town and all of my aunt's family was together. They didn't want to take him to church however since he's not even a week old so their Bishop and a couple of their friends came over to my Aunt Jennifer's house and blessed him there. It was really nice. They now have 2 boys and 2 girls!

Boyd Gilbert Davis...

...ARRIVES!!! My aunt, Amy, had her baby on April 7 at 11 pm. He was 7 lbs 9 oz and 21 1/2 inches long. We went and visited Amy and Boyd at the hospital last week and he was just precious. I stll can't believe how tiny he was, and to think that he is just a little bigger than Parker was when he was born. They grow up so fast, it's unbelieveable! Parker will be 8 months in a couple days and he's growing and changing all the time.

Playin at the Park

Last week we had some pretty gorgeous weather, at the beginning at least! We decided to take full advantage of it. On Monday, Connor, Parker and I walked to the park for awhile. It ended up being 1 mile one way from our apartment. Parker didn't really know what to think of the swings and slides and stuff since it was his first time at the park, but I have a feeling that by the end of the summer he will love it!! Then on Tuesday we decided to meet up with our friends, Jon, Sydney and their son Carson at the park for a picnic dinner and play frisbee and stuff. It was pretty fun.

General Conference

Okay, I know that this post is a little past due, but that's what happens when you're busy! On Sunday for General Conference we rented a car and drove down to Ogden (we actually picked the car up on Saturday morning). My step-dad's parents and siblings live down there so we went to visit them and then my brother Connor was going to come back with us and stay in Idaho the following week. It was also my grandpa's birthday so we were able to celebrate it with him! It was pretty fun. Parker also got to play with his cousin, Jeremy, who is about 2 1/2 months or so older than him. They seemed to have a pretty good time. It was really nice to see my aunts, uncles and cousins on my step-dad's side, since it had been FOREVER!!!
Don't you just love Jeremy's facial expression?? I think he was still trying to decide if he liked us! We also all sang Families Can Be Together after we sang Happy Birthday. Granddaddy loved it, HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDDAD! My sister, Ashley, and her husband, Kyle, came up from Provo to see everyone too.

Happy Easter!

I know this post is a little early, however I couldn't wait to put this picture up. Today we went to Walmart and they had a place set up to get your picture taken with the Easter Bunny. The best part about it was that it was FREE!! So we got a couple free prints of Parker and the Easter Bunny. Thankfully Parker hasn't reached that stage yet to be afraid of strangers/costumes, etc.

It's Here!!!

A couple days ago we finally got Parker's dresser/changer! It looks so nice and it's great to have all his clothes and diapers and everything right there, instead of in separate rooms. It's also nice to get the drawer back in our dresser...he was sharing it with us! Even though he finally has a nursery, he only really gets half of the room. The other half is still storage, however we have gotten rid of a lot of stuff the past couple weeks, which is a nice feeling!

Parker wanted to help dad put it together, but first he wanted to taste the packaging! Oooohhh, is it Christmas again??!!!!
The final product...nice, huh?! I still want to get a cover for the changing pad, but you get the idea. Parker's room all put together. I am still planning to get medium to big sized letters that spell out his name to put on the wall over the bed, just to finish it off!

Suds in the Bucket

Today I may have done the stupidest ever! For a while now there has been a somewhat redish spot on the bottom of the dishwasher with what looks like could be mold growing on it (not really sure if it's mold or not though). Anyways, after emptying the dishwasher this morning I decided to finally clean it out before re-loading the dishes. So I decided to use Mela Magic because it's supposed to break through tough messes. For those of you who don't know what Mela Magic is, it's a Melaleuca (where I used to work) product that can be used to clean floors, ovens, etc. Anyways, I poured quite a bit in the dishwasher on the spot so that it could start breaking it up and then I got a washcloth wet and poured some water on it. And that's when the suds started forming....Yes, that's right, I had forgotten about the whole sudsing when combined with water thing!!! So I spent a good 4-5 hours turning the dishwasher on and off about every 4-5 seconds and scooping out all the suds until FINALLY it was all cleaned out!! I'm not really sure what I was thinking when I picked that cleaner, but I guess something like this has to happen at least once to everybody. Although usually we do it when we are kids and don't know better...I just happened to wait a few years. And now I know what to do when/if Parker decides to put something in the dishwasher that shouldn't go in it!! I of course had to document this, so here are a couple pictures of the suds in the dishwasher. And no it wasn't like they were spilling out the top and going all over the floor...it wasn't that bad, thank goodness!!

Bowling

Tonight we went bowling with Chris' family. It was Parker's first time and he loved the colors of the balls. He really wanted to play! We wanted to stay and wait for David Archuleta, his brother and the Osmand boy that tried out for American Idol this season to come to the theater we bowled at. However, we figured we probably shouldn't keep Parker up that late. :( Oh well, maybe some other time!
Ooh, what are these?? Decided that he really liked the balls!

7 Months

I just can't believe that Parker is 7 months old already! It doesn't seem possible that in 5 months he'll be 1. I took this picture with our NEW camera!!!
