Pregnancy Dreams, Without the Pregnancy

Last night was filled with the strangest dreams.  One was incredibly icky.  One was about a girl who misplaced her left hand and then couldn't get married.  One was a bunch of people sitting on big purple pillows discussing different movie locales.  And one was set in a museum where a girl wanted a 10% discount, but I wouldn't give it to her so she waited until there was another clerk and asked him, but he wouldn't either.

Very weird. These are the type of dreams I would have when I was pregnant, which I'm not. So where did they come from?

Poor Sick Bubby

Dutchie has allergies.  His eyes are watering, his nose is running, and he's being a huge butt-head.  Too bad he has to be 6-years-old to be able to take allergy medication.  Poor baby doesn't feel good at all and there's nothing I can do.

Favorite Picture Friday

Dutch wearing my purse around his neck.

He loved that he could just lift the flap and take stuff out of it.

(And his shirt says "Ladies Man")

Thankful for Friends

When we lived in Pennsylvania I didn't have any friends.  In the two years we lived there I didn't make a single friend that lived within a 100 mile radius of me.  It was hard.

Now that we're back here in Utah I have friends!  And not just mediocre, only see if you need to borrow sugar, type of friends, REAL friends.  I have gone out at least once a week (sometimes more) in the last month.  I am so thankful for my fabulous and wonderful friends who allowed me to pick up where we left off.

And I'm very grateful for the one set of "couple friends" that we have.  (For those of you who don't know "couple friends" are friends where the husband and wife both like the other husband and wife.  They are very rare and you're lucky if you have them.)

I just thought I would let everyone know how thankful I am for the friendships I have.

A List for Tuesday

An Update on Bo the Wonder Dog

• He has FINALLY grown out of his puppy exuberance... at 8 years old!
• When Dutch was a baby Bo would sometimes mow him over.  All I can say is, Dutch is giving paybacks now!
• Imagine the grossest smell in the entire world.  Now times that by 10.  Now imagine waking up with that taste in your mouth.  That's what's been happening to me lately because of Bo's toxic farting at night.
• He's barking less than he was at Grandpa Greg and Grandma Honey's house, but more than he ever did in Pittsburgh.
• I really cannot express how mellow he's become.  He's so relaxed 99% of the time and he lets Dutch just climb all over him.
• Bo still prefers people food to dog food and will only eat his dog food as a last resort.

I Bet You Wish Your Easter Bunny Was This Cute

This is Dutch wearing my bunny ears.  Isn't he so cute!

Dutch playing with his tool box that Easter Bunny Grandma Honey gave him.

He is stabbing it with the flag from his golf club set, except he ripped the flag off, so it's just a stick.

We had a quiet, but very good Easter here at the Davis family household.  Chris, Dutch, Greg, Josh, and Zaque all went up to the cabin from Saturday afternoon to Sunday afternoon.  Kellie and I both stayed at our respective homes and got caught up (which we were both happy to do).

For Easter Chris and I decided not to buy Dutch a bunch of toys because he really doesn't play with the toys he has.  He prefers to play with things like old cell phones and paper.  So we bought him clothes because he's too little to complain that all he got was clothes!  We couldn't get away with buying him NO toys, however, so Chris insisted we buy him a bubble gun. (For the record, I think Chris really wanted this and just use Dutch as a ruse to get it.)

Easter Bunny Davis gave Dutch a Charlie Brown Easter Beagle book, a wooden tool box with a wooden hammer, wrench, screwdriver and lots of little doo-dads and his very own notebook, all inside a purple pail (with matching shovel) that we proceeded to put on his head.  Bucket-head.

We had a very good Easter.  Chris and I didn't buy anything for each other, but we did receive some awesome tickets to see The Lion King when it comes to Salt Lake in September!  I saw it 5 years ago in London and it's one of the most visually amazing shows I've ever seen.  So I'm very excited for that, even if it is SO long to wait!

Hopefully I will be able to upload the pictures Chris took at the cabin from his cell phone.  I'm not sure the quality will be super-great, but that's okay.  Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!

Pictures to come tonight or tomorrow.
