Little Livvy and Aunt Sommer

Livvy at 2 and 1/2 weeks old -- all the family impatiently waiting to take their turn in holding this precious little girl.

Pictures taken with my phone--so a little dark.

"Softy"

Chance wanted so much to hold his new little cousin, Livvy. He washed his hands and did everything he was asked to be able to hold her. Once in his arms, Chance turned into a "soft marshmallow" and was so gentle with his little cousin. Without prompting, he gave her a soft little kiss on her cheek (captured on film by grandma Cilla).

Pround Grandparents

Sunday we were given the best pre-Christmas present from Shea--a beautiful baby granddaugther, Livy. Livy was 6lbs. 8 oz. with lots of dark hair and everything else is perfect on her. Mother and daughter are both doing well.

CHANCE AND PAPA

Chance is so in love with his "Pappee".  We had the privilege of going to St. George with them and staying at their condo.  My dad went down for the World Senior Games.  I am not being biased when I say that my dad is in better shape than anyone his age, or my age for that matter.  It is so fun to watch him play basketball.  Their team took the silver medal.  When my dad had free time, he spent it with the kids.  He is the best grandpa ever.  He is so much fun and loves to play just as much as the kids.  I shot this candid picture and I love it.  Chance and his Papa as they walk back to the condo after swimming.  Thanks Mom and Dad for the fun trip!

The "foursome"

Scott and Christie Kirkland invited the Woods, Warners, and us (Davis') to spend a few days at their cabin in Island Park sitting on the shores of Island Park Resavoir. We had a great time just kicking back and enjoying the setting which was breathtaking. We boated, played (horseshoes, basketball,and wiffleball), walked, rode bikes, toured West Yellowstone, played games, watched movies, and ate way too much good food. It was a relaxing and very enjoyable few days together--thanks again Kirklands.

Papa's birthday

Papa had his "62" birthday on Sunday and had the best birthday possible just having my family around me and enjoying my grandkids. Here the grandkids are "patiently" awaiting the opening of presents (primarily Savanna). Savanna wanted to make sure that I knew she had her own personal gift for me which she wrapped--see below.

Lanny's gift to Papa

Landry was so excited to give Granpa his gift--the thing he likes most "Go-gurt". No present could mean more to me than to receive these personal gifts from my grandkids.

Happy grandkids--Happy Grandpa

Nothing could make a birthday better than having all three of my grandkids

DAVIS FAMILY REUNION 2008

The Davis Family Reunion 2008 in Bear Lake.

We all had so much fun at the reunion in Bear Lake.  The whole family packed up in a huge RV and drove down together.  We camped at a beautiful private campsite.  We had s'mores and an outdoor movie.  Everyone enjoyed visiting with cousins and family.  We spent one freezing night camping, and the next day at the beach with perfect weather.  Everyone spent the day boating, playing in the sand, eating, and catching up.  What a fun time!   Can't wait for next year.
