Look Alike???

There have been conflicting reports on the fact that Lyla looks like Ty at all. Well I do believe this here picture can clear that up. Besides her blue eyes I think they look a lot alike. Lyla is the one in pink :)

The Screaming BUG

Here is some video of Lyla in all her screaming glory!...



Special thanks to the new camera that does video also! I will keep em' coming for all of you far away!

Putting up the Christmas Lights

This weekend Matt and Ty got the Christmas lights put on the house. They did a great job. Here are some pictures of them hard at work....

Lyla and I were not much help...

All she did was lay in the grass...

Here is the finished product...

The great Mashed Potato stand off of 09

We have been trying really hard to get Ty to eat new foods, which many of you know we will admit is the downfall of our parenting! We have been really trying...well lets face it all we do is bribe him and then face the agony that goes along with him crying while he is trying a food that is really not as bad as he makes out to be. You would think we were feeding him cow brains or something!. So anyway in attempt to get him to eat SOMETHING related to thanksgiving we made him a deal to eat mashed potatoes. and of course we bribed him.So at thanksgiving dinner we dished him up a small pile of mashed potatoes, and he cried and complained before even taking a bite! We talked and kept asking him to take a bite....Well no can do!! That kid finally said, "I'll just save my money and buy the game I want." Thinking we would call his bluff we said "fine, but we know you don't have enough change to buy a game." You would think that we would know better than to call this kids bluff right! But NO, so after dinner he went straight to all of his stashes of change & dollars (thanks to ALL of his Grandparents!) After some careful counting of all of his money Matt discovered that this kid has $42.00 stashed away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So there goes that! We are going to have to rush him off to the store so that we have some leverage again!!

For the record the kid DOES eat turkey on a regular basis, but he calls it ham. When I revealed this to him he was sure it was packaged wrong! At least he is sure of himself!

Getting Teeth & Turning 4 months!

It has been some exciting times in the Davis house latley! The eldest of the Davis children lost his first tooth 2 weeks ago! It was very exciting!! It was really wiggly for several weeks, and finally I made a big enough deal out of it that he let Matt pull it. He was so excited about the tooth fairy coming he practicaly ripped the tooth out of Matt's hand and ran up stairs to put it under his pillow. He was so cute!! He would't even sleep on his pillow so that the tooth fairy could get to the tooth easy. And when he woke up in the morning he found that the tooth fairy brought him $2! Here are some pictures from the tooth pulling event.

Also this last week Lyla Bug turned 4 months old! She is weighing in at 13lbs 3 oz. She is such a joy....She is a LOUD joy. She loves to talk VERY LOUD! But it is really fun to hear her voice. Her 2 favorite things right now are Matt and Ty. No matter how bad a mood she is in Ty can always make her smile! He is such a great big brother. She also enjoys scooting her butt off the diaper as you are trying to change her, pulling my hair, and her daddy tickling her. He is the only one who can get her to giggle. She still LOVES to have a bath, and she thinks it is funny when I whisper to her. She is just so much fun! Here is a pretty picture of her! She has beautiful blue eyes. (we will see if they stay blue, but I think they will)

Halloween!

We had a great Halloween! My mom came to visit for a week and it was great! It was really nice to have some extra hands around. We got some great stuff for decorating the dinning room so that we can finnally make that room look good :) The big kids all had 2 days off of school so she really helped out with enteraining them while they were here all day. Here are some pictures of our Halloween adventures. Ty was Anakin Skywalker... Which it was actually pretty creepy to see him with that face...But he LOVED the costume....

Lyla wore her Lady bug costume...She was such a beautiful Lady Bug!

But after some trick or treating she was a VERY tired Lady Bug!

Joye & I went as Coupon Queens! We had such a blast making our costumes! We made shopping carts with our coupon binders in them, it was fun to come up with something that was so us...because lets face it this is what we look like when it is not Halloween.
