Lots of Memories on Memorial Day

Today is a big day for my country!  It's Memorial Day!  Thanks to all those who served to protect my freedoms!

And since it was Memorial Day, we decided to make some memories.  So we headed to Grammy and Pop-pop's house for a family picnic with them and Uncle Greg, Aunt Denise, and Seth. Oh yeah, my great grandmother, Mom-mom was there too.  I heard she dropped the cake in the driveway.  She told us that after Grammy ate some!

Anyways, here's me sportin' the cool summer look!

 Then it was time for my first experience in Pop-pop's pool!  It was very chilly 'cause of the rain so I was a little scared!  Although, Pop-pop took good care of me

 I didn't last long in there the first time, but then decided I wanted to go back in!  It was a lot of fun!

Nice farmer's tan, dad :)

After lots of macaroni and cheese, baked beans, and cupcakes, we hung out for awhile and played!  Nothing like family get togthers.  Now it is getting late so me and daddy are chillin' on the couch after a long day! And of course, gettin' my snack too...

Well, hope you had a great day!  I did!

Talk to ya later in the week,

The Yankee Trip Part 2

After the adventure in Baltimore, we headed to Daddy's home state of Delaware.  We got to stay at my Aunt Lisa and Uncle Chris' house.  It was very nice, with a lot of fun stuff to get my hands on!

Speaking of places to stay, we stopped by the house where my daddy grew up!  Here's grammy and pop-pop's house that they raised daddy from the mid 70's to the late 80's.  Here's what is neat... see the tree in the background to the left? Daddy planted that when he was 10. It was 8 feet tall then... wow!

As we were in and around Daddy's hometown, he took me and mommy on a tour of all his favs!  We even went to Daddy's favorite hang out as a teenager.  Yep, the Dog House.  And yes, it was that good! Nothing better than a fried hot dog.  Don't knock it till you try it!

Not only did we get to hang out with Aunt Lisa and Uncle Chris at their house in Newark, DE, they also joined us for 3 days as we headed to my (great) Aunt Carol (grammy's sister) and Uncle Lee's place on the beach in Fenwick Island, DE.  While there, we all went to the boardwalk in Ocean City, MD (which was only 15 minutes from DE).  Someone walked by with a funnel cake, so that's why I am not looking at the camera like L & C.

And ohhh, the food up on the boardwalk...wow! And yes, Aunt Lisa got her favorite thing too...

Then the games began... We had a skeeball challenge! Lots of fun! Aunt Lisa rocked it...

We had a great time hanging out with UL & AC.  They were great hosts.  Uncle Lee kept me busy!  Lots of giggles...

Now our time was running out in DE, so it was time to get ready to go back to NC for a few days... Mommy was all smiles to see some family in NC...

But before we left, we ate one more time with UC & AL.  Now let me be honest... all we did was eat, eat, and more eatin'...

And here's my mommy and daddy after just finishing up a great lunch and getting to drive the 5 hours to NC!

Once we got to NC, it was non-stop once again!  And this time, I called the shots.  I wanted to stop by Uncle Quentin's piano store and "tickle the ivories".  That was fun!  I'm a natural...

Of course, I ruled the house around granddaddy's and grandma's!  I even found a cool ride...

And the final night in NC, I invited all the cousins over for some hang out time!  Uncle Q grilled some burgers.  Great times. Here's me with cousin Tim!  Cool guy... I think the family is hoping I rub off on him 'cause I need another cousin...

Well, the 11 day trip had to come to an end!  So we packed up the car one last time and drove the 9 hours back to Palm Coast.  All in all the trip was great.  And I must say, I was great on this trip.  Yep, 2500 miles in the car, 11 days and 10 nights away from home, fast food (alot), and lots of family... I was perfect!

Now back to reality...

Love y'all, Davis

The Yankee Trip Part 1

So my mommy and daddy (mostly daddy) have been planning this 11 day trip up to Delaware.  Daddy wanted me to see his ole' stomping grounds.  He was born there and lived there until he went off to college in FL in 1991.  Mommy has only been there once, about 3 years ago, for only a couple days when my great grandma passed away.  So off we headed as soon as church was over on Mother's Day.

We drove up to grandma and granddaddy's in Greenville, NC.  FYI...I have been excellent in the car lately.  We just stayed over night, but got spoiled only in that short amount of time.  Then we got up on Monday and drove to Washington DC.  The weather was cool but awesome. They showed me the Capitol.  That was huge!

Then we headed over to the White House. Pretty big pad!

Here's me and my mommy...

After a day there, we drove a lil' up the road to Baltimore and spent the night...

We expected to do a lot more around there, but the weather took a turn for the worse.  Matter of fact, we went to the Orioles game and it got down to 45 degrees and rainy so we sat in the restaurant at the stadium and watch it on TV.

Well, now we're heading to Delaware to spend the next 5 days with my daddy's family.  I'll post some more pics soon....

Enjoying the vacation,

I Need a Vacation!

This week has been so busy!  I have been working (and playing) very hard.  So after a long day, I just decided to go to bed on the floor... all while playing with my toys. Matter of fact, I am not even sure how I got into bed that night!

Because I've been so busy, I've decided to take mommy and daddy on vacation tomorrow (Sunday).  I can't wait.  I've got lots and lots planned. Here's some of the agenda...
-Heading to Grandma's in NC on Sunday
-Getting up and driving to DC on Monday. Think we might have a talk with Obama!
-Staying Mon night in Baltimore. All day Tuesday there.
-Orioles game with us and my Aunt Lisa and Uncle Chris on Tuesday night.
-Staying with them at their home in DE on Wed, Thur, Fri.
-Then we're all heading to my Great Aunt Carol's place on the DE beach on Fri, Sat, Sun.
-Driving south on Mon back to Grandma's in NC.
-Leaving Wed to head back to Palm Coast.

Sounds fun doesn't it?  Well, it's gonna be a lot of car time. But, I'm looking forward to seeing a ton of family over the 11 days!

I'll keep ya posted!

Disney Days

What a great week it has been so far.  Sunday was a busy day, but nice because I was able to catch a morning nap in the nursery, which is a rarity.  I felt like a champ when I woke up!  Mommy and I left Daddy at church and we headed home and had lunch.  The afternoon was great because Aunt Lisa, Grammy, and Pop-pop came over to visit with me before Aunt Lisa went back to Delaware on Monday.  They are alot of fun.  I was able to tickle Aunt Lisa's feet and Pop-pop was tickling me. . . needless to say, we were all laughing.  It was a great visit!

Daddy and Mommy suprised me when Daddy came home and we left, headed to Orlando for the night.  I liked the hotel we stayed in because I could check out all of Orlando from the air conditioning unit in my room, on the 11th floor. 

I slept in on Monday and then the big day began.  I ate a big breakfast and we were on our way to DISNEY, actually Hollywood Studios.  Daddy had some "all park access tickets" for us.  We started at Hollywood Studios and ended up at the Magic Kingdom. 

I rode the teacups and they were pretty awesome, and I was also able to see the "block party" parade.  I think my favorite thing may have been a High School Musical show that was outside.  I had a front row seat to that show, and it was very high energy; lots of singing and dancing.  I also enjoyed watching the big train

go by.

 

Before the day was over I just passed out for a snooze in my stroller.  I was really tired and could not help myself. 

It was definately a great day, and I look forward to going back to Disney one day.  Needless to say, the remainder of my week was pretty boring compared to Monday at Disney.  Well, hope you had a great week and I look forward to the weekend ahead. 

So long for now,

Davis

Fun Times, Celebrations & Dunkin' Donuts

So glad to be able to post that I am feeling much better.  I still have moments when my nose wants to run and all that nasty stuff, but I feel pretty sure that is related to all the pollen in the air.  My nebulizer and albuterol really helped and even now I can use it if I need to.  Now, on to better things. . .

Last weekend my family and I went to St. Augustine.  We went downtown and walked the beautiful streets and the weather was absolutely incredible.  I think my favorite part of the trip was taking the stroller out and seeing all the boats docked.  Some of those boats were real beauties.  After touring around we went to a restaurant called "The Back 40".  It was not really my "cup of tea" but Mommy and Daddy really enjoyed it.  It was a fun weekend and I was just really happy to be feeling one hundred percent again. 

This weekend has been a ton of fun so far.  Last night it was a grand celebration of Grammy's 25th birthday!  Aunt Lisa suprised Grammy and flew in from Delaware to celebrate.  It was a blast, and my favorite part was the mashed potatoes at Outback.  All of the family was there so that is always a good time!  Mom-mom was there too, and it's always good to see her out and about.  It was a good night.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRAMMY!! 

I almost forgot, on special days. . . ok at least once a week, Daddy enjoys a Dunkin Donuts donut in the morning.  I am definately a fan of Dunkin Donuts, and I love it that Daddy now shares his breakfast with me on D&D days!  Thanks Dad, you're the best!

Have a great weekend, and I'll touch base again next week!

Love,

Davis

Breathing Out & Breaking Through

There are a  couple of pretty big events going on in my life.  First and foremost, the long awaited first tooth has finally popped through my top gum.  Daddy, Mommy and I have waited so long for this little booger to pop through, and it has finally.  You can't see it really well, but Daddy and I had a fun time trying to get a picture of it. 

Also, I have been having a little trouble breathing well at night due to congestion and junk all in my throat, nose, and chest.  Mommy took me to the doctor and he gave me a nebulizer and said use it a couple of times a day.  I hate that thing with a purple passion!!  After I calmed down and realized it wouldn't hurt me it was okay, but it is still not a pleasant experience. 

With all of these issues (teething and breathing), I haven't been able to get alot of sleep so, neither have Mommy and Daddy.  Well, Friday morning came and we were all able to catch up on sleep.  I woke up around 6:30 AM and then went to Mommy and Daddy's bed and slept three more hours.  It was awesome being in their big bed. 

Well, that's my week in a nut shell.  Hope you had a great week!  Looking forward to a great weekend ahead!

Good Night,
Davis
