My Flag

Me and my flag

Tired Gavin

I have been wanting a flag in my yard since I've had my own house. My mom got me a year's subscription this year for my birthday. The local Kiwana's club does it for a fundraiser every year. My first flag was on Flag Day in June. I was so excited to have my very own flag in my yard and will look forward to the other times this year that I get to have it. Thanks mom for getting it for me!!

4th of July Parade

We walked down to the end of our street to watch the 4th of July parade. We were able to sit in the shade which was awesome! The start of the parade was right there, so we were able to get lots of candy and other goodies. The fire trucks were already ahead of where we were sitting, so we were able to miss that part - not sad at all. The boys had a really fun day!

Happy 2 1/2 Birthday Brody!

Brody with his favorite gifts - color wonder books, a new "transformer guy", and the Texas Rangers jersey.

Brody's cake. He wanted chocolate, so I made Devil's Food with Cool Whip frosting. It turned out really good. I printed the Yo Gabba Gabba characters from their website and glued them on popsicle sticks. The wording was with a can of blue frosting - it was kind of hard to control. Notice the candles are 2 big ones and one 1/2 one! :-)

We decided to celebrate Brody's 1/2 birthday since he was born on the 29th of December. I had talked to several people with December birthdays and thought this was a great idea. On his actual birthday, we took him to Chuck E. Cheese and got his traditional ice cream cake from Marble Slab, but no presents since he had just gotten a ton for Christmas. I also wasn't sure how to do the age thing so decided just to do it as it was - he really was 2 1/2. He had a great day and kept saying "my birthday" all day.

Davis Family Reunion 2009

Brody

We went to Oklahoma City for Sean's family reunion. We had a great time seeing everyone and spending time with family. The only bad thing was that it was 111 degrees on the Saturday we were there. We ended up at Incredible Pizza Company for lunch and then let the kids play in the game room for a while since it was air conditioned. The little kids had a great time playing together and we had a fun time just getting away.
