It's time to play FAMILY FEUD!!!


We played Family Feud (DVD version) on Saturday night after the girls killed the guys in 2 games of Cranium. We decided to pose on the couches like the families used to do on the actual Family Feud show. We were acting so very silly!


The guys couldn't help but laugh as they mocked our pose!


Yes, it was very late (or well, early -- we played until 2:30am!!!). Here are 4 of the brothers and the Patriarch of the family. What a fun family we have!!!


Here are the guys running off the couch like they do in the real game. Matthew has pretty much lost it! Despite the guys' hard efforts, the girls dominated Family Feud as well. Jane had lots of interesting information to share with us during the game. But for the sake of the family, we'll just keep that to ourselves, right Jane?! :) Hee Hee!!!

Hannah's Hair!


Hannah Rochelle -- isn't she beautiful!

On Saturday, Hannah allowed Aunt Melanie to play with her hair. How big can Hannah's hair get?!!! After brushing, Hannah's hair was sooooooo soft!!!


Here is Hannah (as Diana Ross) doing her "Thank you!" to the audience ---- or is it a cry for help?


Yes, somewhere under that ball of hair is Hannah! :) Isn't her hair incredibly cute? Catherine is jealous! Hee hee!

Almost Crawling!


Catherine is almost crawling. She scoots backwards right now and rocks back and forth like she is going to crawl. It won't be long!


Catherine loves the telephone! (Just like Mommy!)

Welcome Baby Benjamin!


We gave Daniel and Christy a small baby shower on Saturday, March 24 to welcome their new baby into our family. They picked up Baby Benjamin on Monday, March 26! We can't wait to meet him! Here is the cake I made for the shower. It is an "Aunt Wynelle" cake, for those of you who are familiar!



Grammy keeps Babies R Us in business!!! What sweet gifts for a sweet baby!

Catherine's Sippy Cup


Catherine enjoys playing with her sippy cup -- note that I said "play!" She hasn't quite gotten the idea of drinking out of it. She will drink out of a regular cup, but she hasn't figured out how to get the drink out of the sippy cup.

Go Preds!


Aaron's brother Andrew called us up on Saturday to say he had some Predators hockey tickets that he wasn't going to use. So we decided to take him up on the free ticket offer! We packed up (because we decided to go ahead and spend the night since it was a 7pm game) and headed to Nashville. About an hour into our trip, poor little Catherine threw up --and not just a little -- all over herself and her new covertible car seat! She was fine, though. I think she had just eaten too much before we left and then maybe she was strapped in a little too tight. She never ran a fever or had any other symptoms or fussiness. So, on we continued to the game. Catherine did great the whole time. It was quite loud in arena, but she didn't complain. We sat down on the ground level for the first few minutes and then moved up to our real seats so that we could get a wider view of the game. :) On our way to the Davis home in M.J. after the game, Catherine immediately fell asleep, which was good since we got stuck in traffic on I-40 for an hour! Once we got home, I fed her and then she went to sleep and didn't get up until 9am!!! But then, when Aunt Ashley got her up that morning, we discovered that she had leaked through her diaper! I was running out of clean clothes for her quick! I was already down to my spare, spare outfit! Luckily, we didn't have any more messy moments! It was quite an interesting 24 hours for us -- but definitely a fun, memorable 24 hours!

Here's Catherine showing off her new Predators bike helmet that we got at the game. They gave them away to the first 4000 fans 12 and under! Doesn't it look great on her?! :) hee hee!!

Babysitting Catherine!


Our friends Neal & Alyson babysat Catherine on Friday night while Aaron and I went out to eat and to see the movie "Amazing Grace."


Neal had actually approached Aaron at work to ask if they could babysit sometime to get some extra baby experience. Who could say no to that?!


Of course, by these pictures, I think it is obvious they are great with Catherine! She had a great time with them! Thanks Neal & Alyson!

The Tradition Continues!


While Will, Alex, and Sophie were over at our house for the sleep-over, we made a pizza for supper, following in the tradition of the Davis brothers'.


We even added our own special spices to the pizza.


Notice the cabbage patch kid assisting Alex. :)


The pizza tasted delicious! Even Sophie enjoyed it!

Catherine is enjoying her new outdoor swing!

Even Easier Baby Food!


An even easier way to make baby food is to use canned veggies or fruits like green beans, peas, peaches or, as I am showing here, pears!


It's so easy! Just open the can, drain the fruit or veggie, puree and ta-da! Even easier baby food!!!


Here's Aaron tasting the baby food! :) He likes it - even if it is a little bland!

Making Baby Food!


I had decided to try to make Catherine's baby food. I thought it would be a very difficult thing to do. So, in January, I put it on my list of "to do's" to accomplish. Little did I know, it would be so very easy! All you have to do is boil the frozen veggies until soft,


chop or puree them in the blender,


pour them into little jars,


and ta-da -- Baby Food!!!

From my sweet husband!


Aaron brought these to me last Monday night when we met to go out to eat. He is such a great husband -- always praising me and telling me I should take more time to scrapbook! I just love him so very much! Thanks, Aaron! I love you!
