For My Family Who Tells Me I Need to Update

Family Pic at the Tichenor's Christmas Hayride- so fun!

This is what the boys did the night I was out with some girlfriends.

"Mommy never lets me do this!"

Jackson's hair gets extra curly when he's all sweaty.

They built a car ramp!

Dad is just too much fun!

Weekend Wrap-Up

We had such a nice weekend. Friday night we stayed in and just relaxed as a fam. It was our first night to do that in a couple weeks (sad I know), so we really enjoyed it. Saturday we ran errands, did some things around the house, and then went to Ryan's office party that night. Jackson spent the night with his GranMartha and Pops. As we left he waved and said "bye bye mommy, bye bye daddy." That was it. Then after we were gone a few minutes he told my mom he was happy! Glad to know he misses us. On the other hand, it is really nice to know he is happy and that there is no need for me to worry. Today we enjoyed church and spending time with my family this afternoon. Finally to end the weekend, we decorated our casa for Christmas. Now I officially feel festive! OK...random post about what we did...on to what you really care about...

Family Pic (see our newest family member?)

Ryan insisted that we hold hands :-)

This could be my FAVORITE picture ever.

We have a new obsession with trucks. The wooden one was hand-made for Jackson by his Great Dad!

Thanksgiving 2008/ Dad's 27th Bday

Jackson enjoyed spending his 2nd Thanksgiving at his Great Mom and Great Dad's house. He loved running around their huge backyard, talking to the horses and the cows, playing with the dogs, and getting way too much attention! We then spent a long weekend in Frisco with Jackson's Papa John, Nana, and Uncle Morgan. What fun!!!

New Hair Style...like it?

Chatting with Dad

Happy Birthday Daddy!!!

working on our coloring skills

love it when they play together- so cute!

We told him the tree was hot (the lights kinda are).

Nana has the coolest pantry

busy boy

check out the slicked back hair thanks to Papa John!

fun toy

Thank you!

Can't believe our little one is almost 17 months old. We are most thankful for our precious son. Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving. :-)

p.s.- I went to the doctor yesterday. I am now 17 weeks pregnant and feeling great! He said everything looks perfectly healthy! Love to hear that. I've gained 3 pounds so far, but my belly is a lot bigger now than it was when I was 17 weeks with Jackson. We are waiting to hear back from the ultrasound people to schedule an appointment. We should find out what we're having in the next 2-3 weeks. Can't wait!

16 Months Old

Our kiddo is an absolute joy. This is such a fun stage that I am LOVING. He talks non-stop and is always on the move. His favorite thing to do is to play outside with sticks in the dirt (what a boy!). His BFF is Charlie the dog. The most common words coming out of his mouth these days are: hot waffle, Pops, Kathryn (kakie), doggie, ball, mommy, daddy, cracker, apple, yes!, no, amen, Nana, Papa, elbow, happy, and thank you. There are many more, but I hear these words all day long every day!!! Jackson still hates to be confined in anything (car seat, stroller, shopping cart). I don't think he'll ever get over that. Poor kid- his mean mommy makes him deal with it and get strapped in anyways. I hope he's not traumatized for life. Jackson has become Mr. Independent at home. He loves to play with his toys and read his books (still no interest in tv). Here are some pictures of the little guy just hangin out...

Uncle Ryan is so much fun!

We're looking forward to spending time with family this week! Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving. :-)

Life Lately...

Our sweet Jackson is sick with RSV this week....YUCK! It is awful. He is so miserable, and it's terrible to not be able to help him. We went to the doctor and he said just give him Tylenol when he needs it. It takes 5-7 days to get out of his system, but he is contagious for 2 weeks. So we're spending a lot of time at home these days. I seem to have gotten some form of it myself, so our home is not exactly party central right now. My husband and mom are the BEST though helping out in every way possible. Thanks guys!

A couple things that have happened lately:

Our church had Family Fest the Sunday before Halloween. Jackson dressed as a cowboy, but half of his "get up" didn't stay on him. Oh well! He wore a super cute outfit his Tia Leah gave him, his boots, a cowboy hat, and carried his horse with him. I didn't get many pics as I was there alone (the boys-including my hubby- were at the Texans game) trying to keep up with Jackson.

This was a bean bag toss...through my dad's mouth! haha

Jackson and his cutie friend Sydney

We also celebrated Uncle Ryan's 24th Birthday a couple weeks ago. My mom made him this awesome cake. My husband Ryan thought it would be funny to ask her which bakery she bought it from.....not so much! :-)

Happy Bday Uncle Ryan

Jackson has really expanded his vocabulary recently. He is learning all sorts of new words. We've been working on identifying body parts and animal noises. Here's a little video of his version of what animals say. This was taken today while he is still sick, so that's why he's so still!!!

Our friend Monica and her baby Annie came to visit last weekend. It was so fun to catch up with her and see her precious little girl.

I had another doctors appointment last week. I am always thankful to get a good report!!! I got to hear the heartbeat and see the baby from an ultrasound. It was amazing how I could see the head, arms, fingers, legs, and toes!!! It's really growing. My belly has "popped" but I pretty much just look pudgy. It's that awkward stage before I am noticeably pregnant. I'm 13 weeks now and am ready for the "feel good" 2nd trimester! :-)

That's about it from us for now. Pray for Jackson to feel better soon!

15 Months

I know I say this all the time, but I can NOT believe my baby is getting so big! He is 15 months old now and is quite a big kid. He runs (not walks) everywhere, talks nonstop, mimics everything we do and say, and is a blast to be around! We went to the doctor today and were thankful to get a healthy report. Jackson had to get 2 shots, but he was totally fine with it b/c the nurse was wearing crocs!!! He has an obsession with crocs, balls, hats, dogs, cats, and outside. Well Jackson had a very exciting weekend. He had a slumber party Friday night at his Pops and GranMartha's house. Ryan and I were able to go out on a fun date and sleep in until 10:00 on Saturday morning!!! It was wonderful! :-) Then Saturday afternoon we met our small group at a park for lunch. That night we went to an 80's themed bday party. Then to top off the weekend, Ryan and Kathryn stole Jackson from us Sunday afternoon after church! He had a blast!!! Hope he's not too bummed he has to hang out with just me all week. Here's a couple 15 month old pictures...

ready for church

LOVING his cowboy boots

totally cool kid (he says "cool" now! haha)

cutie

not really sure what he's thinking here??

Quick Pregnancy Update: We found out our due date is May 14. I've already had 2 ultrasounds, and everything looks great and healthy! I'm 10 weeks now and actually feel pretty good. I don't feel anywhere close to as bad as I did with Jackson. So glad!!! I'll keep you posted on how Baby Davis #2 is coming along! :-)

Watch These...

Normally I'm not a big movie/tv watcher, but there are 2 things that I recommend you see.

1. Fireproof. It's a movie playing in most movie theaters, and it's wonderful. It's a Christian movie and has a great message. Go see it!

2. Set your DVR to record Oprah tomorrow. I know, I know...Oprah has gone a little nuts lately, but trust me! Kent Whittaker will be on. He is from Sugar Land and has an amazing story. I can't wait to watch it.

Enjoy the show!
