Catchin' Up!

I know it has been awhile since I last posted anything. I've been busy enjoying the last days of summer...wringing out every last drop of fun. Here are some photos of what's been happening with and/or to the Davis family...

Grandma and Grandpa Davis treat us to a day at Silver Dollar City. That's us in the 2nd row...I've just noticed someone I know waiting in line! You'll have to wait until another time to see my face.

Cousin Tessa (Suzan's youngest) comes for a two-night sleep over! Does that look like a fun time or what?

Morning trips to the park before the temps hit 100!

Owen becomes the "Dirtbike Daredevil".

Levi learns to rollerblade! I know! Can you believe it!?

I get to enjoy a wonderful dinner with my two favorite sisters, Suzan (blue shirt) and Anita (black shirt) and 2 of their daughters, Jenna (13) and Sloan (1). Jenna then came home with me for an overnight visit. She is such a sweet girl. And did I mention a wonderful entertainer of little cousins!?

We have also enjoyed hiking in the evenings in the National Park nearby, finishing up our first "thrilling" year of little league, company picnics, birthday parties, swimming, late day trips to Branson to visit with Jeff's sister and her daughter who drove in from Indiana, and daily watering the lawn, which sounds like a no brainer...but I have been chasing those crazy dry patches all around our lot all summer, and frankly, I'd love a good thunderstorm.

And, finally, a great Levi story. He informed me yesterday that he had gone potty in the yard, which is a big no-no, mostly because we don't have a fence (therefore no privacy), but also b/c it was killing our sod, which we have too much invested in to potty on! Anyway, I said, "Levi, you know you're not supposed to potty on the grass!" To which he replied, "Don't worry Momma. I only pottied on the ticks and the chiggers!" Well, alrighty then! That makes it okay! What a nut!

I hope you all have a great week. Keep your intentions pure...aim for the ticks and the chiggers!
