 Hallie's last volleyball game. She had a great team and coaches this year.

Hallie & Janessa had their last cheer performance at the Colonial theater downtown.

 Grant would not sit still so Andrew took him for a walk by the river while we were waiting for their turn to perform-

 Andrew had a week of vacation and we got to go on Ty's field trip to the zoo. We had so much fun. His favorite animal is the red panda. He talks about it all the time :)

 We took our trailer out for the first time just to try everything out for a night. It's kind of a lot of work! We got it all cleaned up when we got back and I think it will get easier the more we go.

 Grant turned 2 on the 13th which fell on Mother's Day this year! We had family over for dinner and a great game of volleyball in the backyard.

 My parents gave him this wagon which he would not get out of so he opened his presents sitting there :)

 We were able to visit Andrew's parents over Memorial Day weekend. We went bowling and to the Boise zoo. The time always goes by too fast, but we had a great time talking and eating way too much!

 We wore poor Hallie out!

The kids are now out of school and we are beginning a crazy busy month with t-ball, softball, volleyball camp, tennis camps, soccer camp, and basketball camp. Janessa is also starting violin lessons in a couple weeks, which she and I are both so excited about :)

April Catch-Up

We'll start out with some Easter pictures...

 

 All the Davies side grandkids-

 Easter morning before church...my current favorite picture :)

 Grant hangin' with grandpa and great grandpa-

 The boys enjoyed a late little snow storm we got-

 My sweet brother and sis-in-law gave me this bag of fun stuff for school. It had a binder, pens, paper, and other little things that have all been very usefull! I just finished my first introductory class....let the fun begin!

 I got out of the shower one morning and Grant had been crying so Tyson got in his crib with him since he couldn't lift him out! I'm not sure I've ever mentioned that these boys are 4 years apart but Ty only weighs 8 pounds more than Grant.

 Our neighbors had these baby lambs in their garage. The mama died giving birth so they bottle feed them. So cute.

 Gettin ready for bed...

 Andrew had a birthday on the 26th. We had a little party at my parents the Sunday before...

 ..and made him an extra large cookie the day of. Grant would not stop blowing out the candle so we could sing :)

 G at one of Hallie's volleyball games. No, he did not drink all that...

 Andrew did an indurance race at Noise Park the end of the month. He did great and had fun.

 The kids love going and cheering him on.

 I forget how much we do in a month until we get all the pictures off the camera and phones!

Andrew was able to coach Tyson's indoor soccer team this year. We got a bunch of friends and put together a U6 team, well not enough U6 teams signed up so they combined us with the U8 league...they got it handed to them! -but still did a great job and had fun. He says this is his favorite sport so we're going to try to find an outdoor league this fall...

At the beginning of the month everyone had their turn with the stomach flu. Ty stayed home from school and Grant was by his side the whole day, it was so cute :)

 This is Ty's lego transformer he made. It took a while even with help from sisters, but he was so proud.

 My friend and I got away somehow with a trip to the mall with Hallie & Tabrie. They thought they were so funny looking at Prom dresses :) Not for a few more years, thankfully....!

 Hallie had a piano recital on the 9th and also participated in a festival on the 2th. She did awesome at both.

 Ty loves the bumblebee transformer so he gets so excited when he sees it at church :)

 The kids had spring break last week and we took them to the new iJump which is a huge indoor trampoline park. They loved it!

 Grant...almost made it! Funny baby, he is so independent.

 Hallie is in the middle of volleyball season right now. She is having a lot of fun with it. This is definitely her love!

 March 'mustache month' at UPS...at least for Andrew and a few of his friends. Creepy I know! So glad it's gone now...

January and February

 I think it will be easiest to update each person separately this time...

Andrew: Jan. 31st he had several procedures done on his sinuses. He couldn't bend over or lift more than 20 lbs. for 3 weeks.. He did awesome and recovered quickly. The time he was home went by way too fast. Today is his first day back to work and hopefully he's being careful :)

 I though this was cute. I came home and he was brushing Janessa's hair for her. You can tell he still doesn't feel great this day.

 Back to normal. The hardest thing for him was not being able to pick up Grant. It broke both their hearts.

 Me:  Besides everything family related, I've been in a tennis clinic this winter and am excited to play in leagues this summer. Also, I just got in to the online Medical Assisting program at BYUI this fall. I'm super exicted but also nervous and hope that I'm not too old/dumb :) My hope is to be able to do medical coding from home when I'm done.

Hallie: The beginning of January Hallie had her D.A.R.E. grauation. There was one boy and one girl chosen from each class to read their essays. She did a great job. The whole program was really neat.

 She saved her money to buy new headphones. She loves listening to music.

 Gymnastics...here she's doing a front flip over the mat.

 Last Sunday she helped Andrew make salsa, her favorite snack. Hallie is also practicing volleyball and will have games starting in a few weeks.

 Janessa:  Monday Janessa turned 9, wow!  We combined her's and Tyson's parties at the gym again this year. There were over 30 kids and thankfully no one got hurt.

 This was a text she sent me from the spare phone. Aaah, she's so sweet.

 Last weekend we celebrated at Garcia' with friends.

 Sunday we celebrate both birthdays at Grandma and Grandpa's.

 Tyson: Ty lost his first tooth! It was so funny. He didn't even know it was loose until about an hour before he let Aunt Marcie pull it out. Silly boy, now's he trying to make them all loose.

 Tyson at the birthday party with some of his friends. He will be 6 this coming Friday the 24th!

 Grant: This little suit was a hand-me-down from a friend. He was so adorable but would not leave the tie on.

 This cracks me up. Chloe wants to play babies and Grant's like... I'll just sit in here :)

 G and his favorite blankie. He always wants wrapped up in it but then can't hardly walk.

 Andrew edited this cute picture on his phone. Grant LOVES his boots and pretty much wears them all day long :)

 His also new favorite thing is to drink the milk left from cereal. I've never figured out why kids (and Andrew) do this.

 A few group shots:   Janessa chose waffles for dinner on her birthday so Hallie got creative and made everyone their favorite color!

 The kids have had these DSi's for awhile but just figured out how to all play against each other at the same time. Atleast they're getting along, right?

Hal and Ness had their first cheer competition a couple weeks ago and they did great. They have 2 more coming up soon.

 Do you think Steven and Micaela are loved? Yep :)
