Better Late Than Never...

...or at least that is how the saying goes :) Anyways...wanted to welcome Jordan & Kari to the blogging world! You should check out their site!

Date Night...

Ok this part has nothing to do with our date night but look at our baby...she is so sweet! Sleeping under the bed..her favorite!
Tonight was our date night...we had a blast!
We spent our evening at CPK for some yummy dinner which Daniel enjoyed the sweet and spicey italian sausage pizza, and I chowed down on their field of green's salad with grilled chicken.  We also had humus as an appetizer which was delicioso!

After our fabulous dinner, we stopped by Best Buy to check out there camera's (I think were gonna purchase a new one sometime before our big move with a sweet lens...or something like that...this is just what Daniel tells me :)).  Then we went to my most favorite store ever...TARGET!  While at target, we purchased the new Mario Cart for our wii...this very moment I am typing this post, Daniel is enjoying this game to the fullest!
Finally on our way home we stopped by my parents house, because my o so precious mother spent her day preparing all kinds of goodies for the couple's shower tomorrow for our dear friends Tim & Stephanie...can't wait!  Ok now i'm off to bed because I have an early start tomorrow...I'm in a puppet skit in front of the whole church...yikes 

The First of MANY...

(Warning...Random thoughts ahead!) I have FINALLY completed my first scarf. You might recall that a sweet friend taught me to knit a few months back. I began a project and honestly did not want to finish it half way through because I got sick of looking at the color of it, BUT I told myself i was going to finish it...and so I did!

I learned something today that seems so basic, but it really hit me hard...LIFE IS NOT ALWAYS EASY. Sometimes it really STINKS! It is not fun to see people you really care about go through painful situations and you feel so helpless because really there is nothing you can say or do to make them feel better or make the pain go away!

On another note, tonight Daniel and I are spending some time watching LOST from the very beginning (first season that is). We wanted to see what all the excitement was about...I must say the show is good!  So we have plugged the desk top computer into our new TV (Daniel got for his birthday a couple of weeks ago) and watch it over the internet. See picture below...

coming soon...My workout "Secrets".

How Great is Our God!

Daniel and I have been praying for a while that a little part time job would come along for him to take on while full time support raising...and it did! He is now taking pictures for his brother who is a photographer. The flexible hours work perfectly for Daniel, and he gets to spend some time with Andrew (his older brother). Thank you Lord for supplying for all our needs, even when our faith is very small or not there at all!

To My Sweet Mom...

On Mother's Day...I love you!

My Mother, my friend so dear

throughout my life you're always near.

A tender smile to guide my way

You're the sunshine to light my day.

Today I got to eat lunch with a sweet and dear friend of mine, Michelle. She is amazing and I love just hanging out with her...she says i'm her little sister she never had! She is a mommy to 3 of the cutest boys I have ever seen...Aken, Austin, & Aaron!!

This picture was not from today but a while back.

We shared lettuce wraps & sesame chicken at P.F. Changs today...as Rachel Ray says YUM-O!! Thank you Lord for friends like Michelle!!

Who would have thought?

I went shopping for work the other day, and as I began to whip my car into one of the parking spaces, I noticed this sign...


When did they start having reserved parking for expectant mothers?...not that I am against this at all because I am not...it was just my first encounter with one. Then, while in Minnesota last week, Daniel and I went to the Mall of America and ran into one of these again! I didn't even know there was such a thing...maybe they are new or I am just not that observant!

In other news, we celebrated Daniel's 25th birthday this past week (since we were driving home on his actual bday). We enjoyed a yummy dinner from SUMO followed by cake and presents at home...it was so nice to celebrate!  Here is a picture from our night...and of course Madie had to be in it! =)

Say Cheese...

We did! (ok maybe we didn't say those actual words but you get the point =)) Here is our new photo for the 2008 Directory at our church. Last time they did this was in 2005...when I was not a Davis yet, so our pictures are not only out dated, but also we aren't even married so separate! We were glad to update (only 2 years late!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY!

Today is a very special day...DANIEL'S 25th BIRTHDAY!! YAY! I have had the privilelage of celebrating now 6 birthdays with him...

He is wonderful hubby and everyday we spend together truly gets better!  I love you Daniel and hope you have a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
