park + Davis + 3D glasses = 1 FUN time at the park

4.23.10
So Ry was out of town, & I took the kids to the park...with my camera & BOY WAS I GRATEFUL!  Because I have some of the best pictures of Davis, caught in his own world he created at the park

He was trying to convince a fello friend how cool his shades are

Even on the swings...

We put Lauren in to enjoy a ride

Wondering whats happening in his little brain. Thanks for making such a fun night Davis!

the BuS!

So with only 1 month left of school, Davis was asked if he wanted to ride the bus as they needed 1 more student to have the required amount to provide transportation. So I thought it was ok...I was a little nervous, but his school was only 5 miles away & he was adjusting great to school. I crossed my fingers & said ok!

So I made a story or event outline, because I didn't know how Davis would act when it was time for him to get on the bus...but as always, he surprised me & jumped right on & didn't look back.  I had to tell him to come back & turn around so I could take a picture.

I took him from waking up to coming home from school.  Thought that if he got hesitant, that the bus assistant could read it to him

Here it comes!

This is where I had him turn around for me so I could take a picture of him.  The bus lady got a laugh out of it too!

"I love you" sign to me over the seat! He melts my heart! serioulsy.

I made myself laugh because I couldn't believe what I was doing! I hopped into my car after the bus took off & drove to the school!  I was a bit nervous sitting outside a school with a telephoto lens! But I wanted to see Davis get off the bus, what can I say? Don't mess with this proud mama!

You can see his excitement on his face! I'm so proud of you Davis

Spring & Summer = Dandelions!!! yuck! Its a nightmare & it gets worse each year.  But one day Davis brought out the clippers, which meant serious business

This kid makes me SO HAPPY!

I love spontaneity...I'm always telling ryan we need to be more spontaneous with doing fun & cool things.  Anyway, one afternoon presented itself with the perfect conditions of flying kites! So we got Davis boy all dressed up & dusted of his beloved buzz light year kite, and out we went! Davis was a pro!

He was loving it! Its amaing how the simple things can bring the greatest joy

Dad stepped in to help just a bit

Couples in decades

2.6.10
Some friends put together a "couples in decades" night for Valentine's
It was so fun! I love dressing up for things like this....we pulled out the costume box...drum roll Please!

Ry created himself a "beer belly" We couldn't figure out the front from the back of the wig all night, so sometimes he had culry bangs...and sometimes he had a mullet! So funny!

Some pretty hot couples

So many people thought he looked like Ben Stellar in Happy Gilmore as the "not so nice" nurse taking care of the grandma in the nursing home..."I'll get you a nice cup of shut the *@#*#^ up grandma!"

Such posers!

Davis goes to PRESCHOOL?!

2.5.10
Davis started Preschool for speech therapy.  He attended 2 days a week for 2 hours. I'm surprised that I didn't bawl my eyes out! "I'm the worst mom" I thought to myself. When I came home, I even tried to make myself cry...but I couldn't. I think that I was just so excited for him to go & recieve help! For the previous years I couldn't hear the thoughts that he had in his head, because he couldn't really talk, & it wasn't that understandable. So I had to watch him & think what he was pretending...what was happening in his little magical world.

First day of school = success! Way to go Davis man
