We had a wonderful Halloween Season this year. We went to a Pumpkin Patch with our great friend Allison outside of San Antonio earlier this month. We made Halloween cookies, carved pumpkins into Elmo & Minnie Mouse (to bad they didn’t last in the 100 degree weather!) We went to Del Rio’s Monster Mash where the kids got to play games, & get their face panted. The kids went trick or treating around the neighborhood last night and then came home to hand out candy. According to Olivia that was her favorite part! She loved seeing all the costumes, answering the door, & calling out the kids who were on their second visit. Even Sawyer had fun handing out candy! We missed all our Utah Friends & Family in Montana but hope you all had a wonderful month!!!

Taste of October
We have had another busy month! David has been busy with work, fitness tests, cross countries,becoming a flight commander & taking care of us! He did find time to let the kids help him wash the car, put together their wagon & just have fun with them. Olivia has been busy at school singing, learning about fire prevention, hay rides & playing! She also goes to swim & dance lessons every week! Sawyer has been busy climbing, playing, talking, & getting hurt. He fell into the TV stand & split his eye open. He got four stitches but fell again & reopened the wound! As for now it is healing nicely! Holden is just busy being cute & growing big! He is already 13 lbs!

The Lord’s Air Force
%5B2%5D.jpg "10-17-2010 (16)")
Today Olivia sang with her classmates at church. She goes to the Methodist Day school & to say thank you to the church they sang during the church service. Their class sang two songs. Jesus Loves Me & The Lord’s Army. David is out of town this weekend on a cross country. To pass the time we did a lot of singing. As we were practicing our songs Olivia looked at me and said “Mom we aren’t in the ARMY! We are in the AIR FORCE!” I told her she was right on and from that moment on she sang the song with the words Lord’s Air Force! She did well but since she is so small she was kind of got pushed to the back! We made it through the weekend & I actually got all of us to church on time only with the help of the LORD!

305 Rolling Ridge Drive
We bought this house back at the beginning of May this year. David accepted our shipment of boxes the weekend of Memorial Day. He lived here off & on through the months of June & July. The whole family finally moved into the house on July 29th. We can finally say the house is pretty much put together! Most of you said “take it one day at a time”, “unpack a box each day”, and my favorite “there is no hurry, you will get it done”. Well, I could listen to all that advice if I was going to live here forever & I didn’t have 3 little helpers! BUT I promise you I won’t live here a day longer then 4 years & my 3 “helpers” are NOT helpers!! :) Our floor plan feels like we are all living on top of each other, which made it hard to just not get it all done. Olivia still asks daily “When will Grandpa Steve bring us their stairs?”. The other thing that made this extremely important is the fact that there is absolutely nothing to do here but live & be in our house. We still have the shed to fill, the garage to go through, & the back yard to deal with. We also have a few picture frames to fill & a few little things to tweak but all in all the house finally is starting to feel like a home. A few things we have already done to the house is paint a wall in Sawyer’s room, add cabinet hardware, under & over head lighting in the kitchen, a couple new light fixtures, mount the TV over the fireplace, and build a shed. We hope to add a wonderful outdoor living space to the backyard if we can get rid of the fire ants! Here are some pictures of the house.

School
Olivia started preschool at Methodist Day School here in Del Rio. She is in the 3 year old Green Room. She is a little disappointed that it is the Green Room & a blue shirt. She thinks it should be the Pink Room & they should wear Pink shirts! She attends Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday from 9:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. It seems a little long but the time does go fast. I have yet to actually accomplish anything at home but hope to next week! ;) I will admit that I really miss her. It is very quiet around the house. Mostly cause our little Taz is taking a nap! All in all it is going well. She loves it & we hope it will help us all make new friends.
Here are some pics from the Open House night & the First Day!

Olivia Turns 3
Olivia turned 3 on Tuesday August 24! She had so many little parties this year that she thinks her birthday is all the time!! We had a Minnie Mouse party for her with her Grandparents, Uncle
Chad, Aunt Brittney & close friends the Grevious’ at Chucky Cheese in Montana back at the end of July. Everyone had a lot of fun & it was great to see & play with everyone! We had another little celebration with her cousins the Boone’s & Grandma Darlene & Papa Bill. When Grandma Sue & Grandpa Steve came down we had a pool party with dinner, cupcakes & of course more presents! On Olivia’s actual day she received gifts from her Aunt Liz, Uncle Dave, Christian & Elyse, & Grandma Patsy & Grandpa Tim. She also loves getting the mail because she received some cards from all her Great Grandparents! Yes, I know you are thinking this little girl is very spoiled! We will just agree with you!!

Grandpa & Grandma Come to Visit!!
Grandpa Steve & Grandma Sue finally got tired of hearing us whine to them that we missed them & needed them to come visit! After they left I realized that we had only been away from them for a few short weeks, but to us it felt like forever! Luckily they were able to fly stand by & made every flight! But it still took all day due to us living at the end of the world! :) We kept them very busy! We unpacked most of the boxes, Dad & David built a shed, celebrated Olivia’s Birthday, went swimming & just hung out! We had a great time with them & we were extremely sad when it was time for them to go! Thank Grandma & Grandpa for all the gifts, help, & time together! WE LOVE YOU!

Happy 30th Anniversary DAD & MOM!
On July 26th Dad & Mom celbrated their 30th wedding anniversary! Chad, Brittney, David & I decided to just have a low key dinner at the house for them. Mostly due to the fact the summer had just been so jammed pack & my crew does better at home then anywhere else. Plus we new Dad & Mom would think the most important thing would be just to have their family together. So I got to thinking what we could do to make it a little extra special for them. The only thing they love other than being with us ;) is visiting Maui. They have been going about every year for the last 5 years. So I decided to through them their own luau since they won’t take all of us! I borrowed some decorations from the Guenthner’s, bought a few of my own, made sure everyone had their Hawaiian dress, made them a cake & David cooked Hawaiian kabobs! Due to the wind it ended up having to be inside but it was still so much fun & everyone seemed to enjoy it. We even had shaved ice. For gifts David learned how to play & sing their wedding song on the guitar & I had printed a picture that they had taken of the ocean into a big print & framed it for over their bed. All in all we had a wonderful time being together as a family! Here is to many more!

A little Busy!
As you can see we have been a little busy! But our life is just going to get busier! As we approach our last week in Montana for awhile our days are getting filled up! We have lots of people to see, places to go & things to pack. We are looking forward to our move to Texas since it has been dragging on for well over a year. But especially the last 7 months. It will be nice to finally be all together as a family of five under one roof. With that we are also very scared & nervous!! It is going to be hard being so far away from our family & friends! You are all very important to us you never know what it means to have you in our lives. So we ask for you prayers as we get ready to make this transition. We want to thank you already for all your thoughts & prayers that you have given us to get us where we are today! We want to give a special thanks to Grandma Sue & Papa Steve! They have opened their home up to us for the last 11 weeks! They have taken such good care of all of us & we know we aren't an easy bunch! We will miss you lots but love you more! Please don't be strangers & come visit! Look forward to seeing you all soon!! Here are some pics of what we have been up to!

Chad & Brittney Davis
I am officially old! My little brother tied the knot to a beautiful women on July 1, 2010! We were all afraid that I wasn’t going to make to the wedding! But David, Holden, & I were released from the hospital on Wednesday, June 30th just in time to head to rehearsal. David was a groomsmen & even sang, I was a bridesmaid, & Olivia was the flower girl! We were all so excited to be apart of their big day! It was a small beautiful wedding in a flower garden! They had a wonderful ceremony followed by a delicious cake reception. Lots of family & friends were able to attend. It was so nice to see everyone! Our good friend Heather Mosser took their wedding pics. She did an amazing job! Here is her website with some pics & there is even a slide show you can click on and watch! ENJOY!! www.heathermosserblog.com
