HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARISSA!!!!

Today we attended my niece Marissa's 10th birthday party! It was held at my mom's because my brother and Callie are also making some renovations to their house! Callie (my sister in law) made the most amazing zebra cake and it was SO YUMMY!!
Great party and loads of family fun! Here are the pics!

Our Relay for Life Team -- Hope Club is working on a Spring bus trip from Van Wert to Chicago for a fun day of shopping! More informatino coming soon! If you'd liek details be sure to e-mail me! davisfam16299@embarqmail.com

Renovation! We are making a few changes to our house! Here are some 'before' photos!

Our goal is to turn our nursery into an office space with great storage and I am aiming for a beach theme. We are turning our kitchen and family room into one space. One week from tomorrow our wall starts to come down! I have this week to empty 12 years of junk from my kitchen cabinets and drawers! Here are some pics of the office space before and after. So far we only have the paint and shelves complete. We are hoping to replace the carpet with hardwood depending how the kitchen renovation goes.

Special THANKS to my dad for helping me pick out, cut and install shelves! =)

Happy New Year! =)

I am sitting here this morning reminded how blessed I am! I have 3 amazing, healthy, energetic daughters! A wonderful husband and a cozy warm home! I have a lot of plans for 2010! Yikes....2010~ I am trying to find myself and figure out what my next big mission will be! First, I feel like I have some things to get in order at home....

*****Clean Closets

*******Organize photos

********Paint a few rooms

*********Move into our den

**********Oh....and then there is the tree that is still up, laundry that is never ending and my volunteer commitments that will consume most of this week!

I mostly want to do 3 simple things this year 1. Pray More 2. Smile More 3. Complain less

If you find me getting off my path on these 3 main goals please shoot me a message!

I hope you have a wonderful 2010 and remember to focus on what matters most!

Here are a few shots from our New Years Snowmobile/ Ski trip to MI!

The first 3 days we rode snowmobiles and even rode a HUGE trip to the Mackinac bridge. Day 4 we decided our girls should experience skiing since our group was mostly skiing. Scott has went skiing before and it's not for him. So I set out w/ 3 girls to hit the bunny hill! It took a lot of practice and help from many of our friends (Thanks Wendell's and McCleery's) but the girls eventually took to it. McKenzie and I even went back after dinner for a few more tries and eventually I could even get up and down the hill successfully.

Sid was a manic! She never gives up! ;)

I will say I think I prefer the beautiful and constantly changing nature scenery on the snowmobile trails to the skiing adventure!

A few pics from Christmas! We are very blessed! Missing a few key family members this year but thankful for those here with us! =)

THANKS Aunt April & Fam for the amazing personalized totes!

And everyone else for the nice gifts and fun days together!

Love.

Making Cookies! Sledding w/ Marissa and Ready to cheer on the Lancers at Mini-Spirits! They did an amazing job!

Happy Holidays!!!

Smile more....pray more....complain less.

Love you all!
