it's been a while...

 why, hello! it's been a while. 

A poem that made all of us laugh for 12 minutes.

bigger and better with the YM/YW.  of course we won with our FUNCTIONING GRILL.  they are the bomb and Thayner and I both love our callings.

jamesy graduated! We are so proud of him and his amazing animation skills.  Elder Oaks spoke at graduation and I remembered why I loved B

 Sara Davis had an amazingly beautiful and fun baby shower and then proceeded to have an amazingly beautiful baby.  Winnie Davis is such a perfect adorable little babesties and we are stoked to have her in the family.  

this will excite no one but me, but our wonderful landlords did something about the hard water and now my head doesn't hang in shame when we offer someone a glass of water.

we were uncle Ricos for a few weeks while the Oly Titan men's soccer team dominated all the way through the state championships and won state.  epic.  if only we could go back...:)

say hello to OUR baby.  '91 Mazda Miata Davis is her name.  Looking amazingly legit is her game.  This car (aka go-cart covered in red paint) makes us laugh and feel waay cooler than we actually are.

quick trip to Cali with the married davis clan.  we are romantic.

we ate like starving moose the whole time,

did some house watching on balboa island,

did baptisms,

and watched kids get dominated at the WEDGE.

after California, I decided that our $2.99 bacon just wasn't cutting it.  okay, this picture really just exists to bug my husband.  one day (2 months into marriage), I came home and told him I bought bacon for him; he was stoked and asked how much it costs.  $5.99.  After his conniption, I never bought bacon over $3.00 again. But one day, I know we'll be rich enough to put these strips of deliciousness in our breakfast burritos.  one day...

this lady had her hey-day and has inspired me to wear sunscreen for the rest of my  life.

and finally, today.  This cute boy took a Sunday nap on my...bosoms.  I thought it was cute until he woke up and I remembered he has a drooling problem.  For this reason, and this reason alone is my chest displayed on this blog.  drool.

anywho, for those 2 readers out there who like to check up on us...there we are.  we are just living it up in our basement, learning some new things, going to some wonderful places, loving our neighborhood and ward, and enjoying family and friends.  life is good and we are grateful to be where we are.
