IT"S BEEN A LONG TIME COMING

It's been a while since we updated our blog.
Since we last posted, we have moved to
Circleville. It's about 45 miles south of
Richfield. This is a picture of our boxes!
Exciting, huh? Things look a little different
now. We've unpacked and are in the process
of remodeling some things.

Here is the front of our house when it had blue shutters. Actually this

house had blue everything! Matt painted the shutters and the trim and the front door and we like the new look!



Here is a picture of our kitchen. It had white countertops and floors with blue trim and accents. We had new countertops put in and Matt laid vinyl that looks like hardwood.

Here is our dining room where Matt also laid the

wood-looking vinyl. We are so excited to finally have

and dining room and a dining room table!!

The past few days we have been sent a few new blogspots to look at and thought it was time to update ours and try to stay more consistent in keeping it up to date. This family picture was taken on the 2nd of September when our eight year old, Mikaela was baptized and our baby, Emma was blessed. Man, we are growing up. Our family is doing super! We really enjoy Circleville and have met many wonderful people. We are grateful for our new friends here.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

Wow! what an eventful weekend it was and it isn't even time to move yet. To all the fathers out there 'HAPPY FATHER'S DAY'. Carrie gave me the coolest gift anyone can get and she gave it early. Check out what I recieved on June 15th at 7:26 in the morning. She woke me up just to give it to me and on top of that made me drive thirty miles to actually cash in on the surprise. Actually not much of a surprise at all because we knew it was a girl, unless the pictures lied. Then of course the little bundle of joy looks just like the other three girls. Here's the pictures:

BABY EMMA LUCILLE DAVIS

It was quite the Father's day gift. She weighed 7lbs 6oz and measured 20 1/2 inches long. Very healthy and very cute! All the kids came and were there, but not in the delivery room, when she was born. I saw her first and got to cut the umbilical cord.

Yep! she resembles the others, but just like the others I'm sure she will be different in her own little way. As soon as the nurses got her cleaned a little and wrapped in clothes Carrie

held her next, but of course Mikaela had to be the first kid to hold her.

Connor asked to be next.

Aubrie had no other choice but to be patient.

Hannah didn't know any different and just wanted to touch her all over.

All the kids had to watch every move and didn't miss a twitch. They would (especially mommy Mikaela) report on what the nurses were doing to Emma and especially when they made her a little upset. Mikaela and Aubrie would tattle on the nurses.

The kids are very happy to invite her into the Davis Clan and do so with open arms.

Emma was very alert and eyes wide open for the first day and it's pretty much been all sleep since then. Every now and again she might sneak a peek but not to often. The Davis Clan is ready and willing to take on another fun and exciting personality. Here we are all smiles.

The kids all drew a special little poster and we got some pink balloons to decorate the front of the house with. Carrie was pretty surprised but not as much as Emma was. I think she loved it, she was so touched she didn't say anything "words could not do justice'.

We brought her home on Sunday and what a special Father's day it has been. She looks a little different now that some of the swelling has gone away and some of the bruising. She looks good in PINK. One more girl to add to Connor and Matt's harem.

??? Davis # 5????

Baby DAVIS- We will update this in the next little while when the stork decides to bring the package.

Hannah the "BANANA"

Hannah is the little joy of the whole family for another little while till the baby comes. She is now starting to chatter up a storm. She will repeat all words said to her even if you make up words she will try them. She also is in the stage of knowing her diaper is yucky and will take it off wherever she is. Maybe it's time to start the potty training. Maybe Matt can do this since Carrie will have her hands full with the little new bundle. Hannah is an outside lover and is always trying to get outside with anyone going. How much fun can be had with this little one.

Aubrie"the BRAIN"

Aubrie is offically out of Preschool and will be in the big "K" next year. She is really excited to go every day now and get away from the side of her Mom, Yeah Right. She will do good and have lots of fun though. She loves to play with her little friend Addy all day and almost every day. She has just learned how to ride a two wheel bike but doesn't do it to much for fear of falling and getting hurt. She is aslo a good big sister to her younger sister Hannah. She really loves to sing and dance around the house.

"Sweetie Petitie" the other Mom

Mikaela is the spunk for the whole family. She always knows how to get the most out of everyone. When she sets her mind to something you better watch out and get out of the way because she is determined to finish the task. Mikaela has a couple of nice dance moves she displayed for us at the schools year end dance festival. What a special young lady and even a great big sister to the three others that follow, not to mention a huge help to Carrie.

"NANA" the man of the house

Connor is the big brother to all. He is an awesome example to his little sisters and is a great young boy to boot. He is excited for the new move and adventure down south. He will miss his friends but is hoping to make more. He is one of the top students in his grade and very interested in reading up on anything he gets interested in. He knows more about some things than even his parents especially his dad. Infact he helped me edit this blog. He just finished his pinewood derby car and raced it last week. It was fun!. He's excited to start the summer. Beware Circleville girls here comes NANA.

The WonderMom of the Universe

Carrie
is nearing the end of a long journey and wow is she ever so glad. Carrie has been in high demand the last little while and actually held up pretty good even though the picture says otherwise. She always needs her beauty sleep though. She will be selling her Sunshine Generation group to another lady who seems excited to take the reigns. Carrie is sad but is excited at the same time. The last few days she has been having some pretty good contractions and the doctor at the last appointment thought that it would be this week some time considering the measurements he gave her. How does she do what she does? What an awesome (hot) mama!!

The Big Cheese

Matt of course is the one that gets all the work done around the house as you can see. What a big couch muffin and thats worse than the other alternative . Matt has recently been asked by the Church to move locations after spending 6 glorious years with the Mighty "Bulldawgs" at Provo High Seminary. He will be moving to a smaller faculty down in Junction Utah. The staff consists of many different types just depending on what Matt ate for dinner the previous night, no, really it's just him by his lonesome. He is excited to venture out and try a new experience. He is bummed out though because of the move the garden will not be planted this year. Now where will he go when Carrie is mad at him(I suppose he will jump on the 4wheeler and go for a long ride). He will miss all the people who he has befriended at the seminary and other close friends but will be gaining new friends down in Circleville.
