He's Making A Run For It

As soon as we got back to Tulsa, Davis is ready to go back to Dallas. I think he gets a little attached to the grandparents and the 100% attention. It's really cute watching them together. Well, I think he's trying to tell me something.




In and out. Suitcase open and shut, over and over. It really was quite humorous to watch.




So, you think he's trying to tell me to just ship him on back? He may get a little stuffy in there!!

I'm Still In A Food Coma

I don't know about you, but I had a wonderful, very filling Thanksgiving. I was stuffed just like the turkey, and needed to be rolled out the door like the pumpkin log. Along with many reasons why I'm thankful this year, I'm am especially thankful just to be together for Thanksgiving. I absolutely love sitting around together playing cards, talking, and simply just being together. Building memories is so important to me, even more so that we all have Davis in our lives. I want him to know the importance of family, and to be thankful that we are all so close.

I didn't take too many pictures this year, but good some pretty (awful) shots that I would love to share with you.

Me and my lovie. Shortly after this was taken, we were put into a turkey coma, and weren't heard from until the next day.

Now, the holidays wouldn't be the same without the best pictures taken. Ever. I think I may blow this one up and put it over my fireplace. It's a classic. Speaking of fireplaces...
Strike a pose, people!

Now for a quick photo story by Davis...


Gigi, I don't know what in the world you put on that plate. It looks very colorful, but do you really expect me to eat it? Come on, lady! Sheesh. I'll just sit here on your lap and look cute. That is my only job, you know.

Wait for it. Wait for it. Gigi, I think you may be on to something here. I do believe my taste buds just got a little excited. Holy jalepeno! That's good stuff! Feed me, Seymore!!

Please do not tease me with tasty morsels right in front of my face. I will eat them, for I am Hoover Baby! No food will go uneaten when I am around. Family, beware! There shall be no Thanksgiving leftovers when I am around!!

I hope everyone had a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving!!

Holiday Partay Time

I only wish this was a review or giveaway, but I have to say sorry. It is not. BUT, if you like what you see enough like I do, then you have to check my friend out. I love, love my amazing friend Danielle, and she has KILLER talent. What am I talking about? The girl decided to pick up a needle and thread one day and it resulted in something HUGE! Miss Wyoming USA 2011 just won the title wearing Danielle's dress. Whew. Talent, people. Talent. I am over the moon excited that my friend is making me a custom dress for the holidays.


Check out some of her custom designs!









Just a little ahhhhmazing, right?? If you want a one of a kind, custom made dress, you HAVE to check her out. Trust me when I say that she will not steer you wrong.

What is my dress going to look like? Well, I can't give that away yet. And besides, since I trust her, I pretty much told her just go for it. I looked at pictures and gave her colors I want. Easy peasy. Don't worry. When I get my dress in, I will of course have to post pictures for you!

Yoga Tantrum

Just when I thought that Davis' tantrums couldn't possibly get more interesting, I present to you the YOGA TANTRUM. This consists of Davis starting out in push up position on the floor, then bringing his legs up in the air. We finish out in an up air, downward dog, against the wall or cabinet, whatever is behind him. This is very serious stuff. Yoga tantrums are not to be made fun of. So if you experience one, do not laugh. They are practiced in temples by the master Yogi's. While I am very impressed with Davis' mad skills, I am wondering if I can have him become a Yogi himself. At least these tantrums will make me some dough.

Have a great weekend, everyone

Talk To Us Tuesday-What The...

Oh Dear Mother Nature,

I have come to the conclusion that you are completely wasted lately, and I would really appreciate you putting the bottle down. I hope you realize that you have been drunk lately in Okla freakin homa, and not California. I knew that when we moved here, we may experience some Wizard of Oz type weather, along with feeling like I'm in the North Pole, but earthquakes were not in that scenario.

Now, within the last 3 days, we have experienced 4 earthquakes. One being a 5.6 on the scale, which brings it to the biggest Oklahoma has ever had. Umm...yeah. Biggest, ever. Bottle down, lady! Then another last night at a 4.6. I talked with a girlfriend yesterday that lives in California, and she's not even having this much fun!

So, what was I doing when I got to experience the big one? It was Saturday night, so what else would I be doing? Plus, it was day light savings...one extra hour! I was out throwing down, of course! Getting my drink on with my girlfriend. Sheesh! Okay, fine. I was in my sweat pants on the couch, watching tv. (You know you're getting older when you look forward to more sleep and not more drinking) So, we are sitting there, and the couch is moving. And I don't mean fairly shaking from some bass downstairs, but like I put a quarter in the couch..shaking! We didn't know what to do. Aren't we supposed to stand in a doorway or something? I think I saw that on a movie when I was little. I think that's what we do. Should we google it? Crap! Let's just stare at each other instead. So, that's what we did. We stared at each other, freaking out, until it was over. We would do well together in a disaster situation.

So, this being said Mother Nature, please sober up soon. I think everyone here would really, really, realllllllllly appreciate it! Sheesh, lady. Now you're stirring up tornadoes here. Make up your mind.

This Time Last Year

I came across some pictures this morning, and couldn't resist posting. Crazy how much Davis has changed in just one year. That little baby face is slowly starting to change into a little boy. And his mouth now a mouth full of chompers. His little belly is starting to stretch out as he's getting taller. But his cute little smile is still as precious as ever.


Davis, just the other day, mischievous as ever with his abuelo. He reminds me of Dennis the Menace. Always has something going on in that little head of his.

I love you little man. Crazy screams, (like now, haha) amazing giggles, and everything in between. I can't wait to see what the next year brings.

Pumpkin Time-Week In Review

Since I haven't been able to post a blog all week, I am going to bombard this one with pictures from Halloween, pumpkin patch, and of course...costume pictures!! If you aren't family, then you won't really care to see these. So I won't get offended if you turn around now. Ready? Picture overload ready to commense.

Boo Haha Parade and Trick or Treating

If this had a thought cloud, I think Davis would be saying, "Mama, why do you have to torture me like this. People are looking at me."

Lunch time with my two favorite guys in the whole world.

And my monkey riding a pony. And the girl pulling the pony checking out my husband.

First time getting all of the ooey, gooey, pumpkin seeds out. Of course Davis tries to eat them.

And realizes it is pretty disgusting. Ummm....yeah. I tried to warn ya!

But then he goes in for more. Oh, son, you are stubborn.



Going in elbow deep!

Pumpkin Patch!!
Giddy up, horsey!

I didn't have time to crop these, but he rode that little tractor everywhere!!


And 'drove' a tractor just like his Gramps!



Davis Brown




He couldn't quite understand why he couldn't pick them up. But he sure tried, and rolled them all over the place.


Have a great day, everyone!
