Blazers and Pumpkins!

Friday night was the big GEHS football game that was televised on ESPN. Carson got to go for Blazer buddy night- one of the high school players writes them a letter and they get to go meet them and talk to them in the locker room and then carry their gear from the high school to the field. Carson got the starting defensive end- so he was excited since that's the defensive position he plays. Then, he got to go to the big game and hang out with his friends. He had so much fun and it was such a great game. Go Blazers! Here's a pic of him and his buddy, that he took himself...haha.

The last two weekends, we have had lots of fun at both the Louisburg Cider Mill and the KC Pumpkin Patch. Jeff wanted to go to Louisburg last weekend (mostly for the yummy treats), so we stocked up on apple butter, jellies, cider, and pumpkins! Carson had a great time doing the maze and picking out the pumpkins. Cal had just woken up, so he wasn't that interested in the experience.

But, this weekend since Jeff was in China, we went to the pumpkin patch with Amy, Ali and Lexi. Both the boys had fun. Cal was full of expression and personality as he ran all over the place. Here are some fun pics of Cal.

Carson played this maze game while Cal searched and searched for his pumpkin. He found a stem and had to see if it fit about 25 different pumpkins=)

Cal also found a few backdrops for photo opts=)

Wow- I'm way behind!

Wow- I am way behind! I didn't realize it had been so long since my last post. I will really try to do better, but with a 14 month old- it's hard to find the time=)

Carson: He had a school play on 9/30 (my birthday). It was really a lot of fun. He got the lead role (out of all the 5th & 6th grade) and really worked so hard on all of his lines. He did such an amazing job and we are so proud of him. He has got some real talent for the arts and has no fear about getting up in front of people. Not sure where he gets that from- I certainly couldn't do it! I will try to post the video of the play, if I can get it all on here...it may be too long.
Other than that, he has been keeping busy with football. This past Saturday, he had such a great game. I wish I had recorded it. He got to play full back for the majority of the game (which he loves). Had some unbelievable blocks, and got to run the ball in for a 2 pt conversion. On defense, he had 3 solo tackles and 1 sack on the quarterback. He was a monster! Haven't seen him play that hard in a long time, so it was great to see. Cal enjoyed hanging out at Heritage Park watching his big bro.


Cal: He is doing well; he's a busy boy. Too busy to eat, most of the time...just wants to run run run and throw food on the floor. He is finally healthy- we had a few weeks where it was miserable. He had molars coming in, and therefore got an ear infection. Then, got the stomach flu which lasted awhile because the antiobiotics made the diarhea worse. We all caught it, too! Glad he's over all that! He's now saying mama, dada, ball, doggie, yea, go, bubble and I swear I've heard others, but those are for sure. He's constantly babbling- so he definitely wants to talk! He figured out just in the last few weeks how to actually go down the stairs and climb into the truck by himself. Unfortunately, with toddler years comes tantrums- so we're now experiencing frequent high pitched squeels and playing deadweight while arching our back. Oh yes...the fun of toddlers! For the most part though, he is a happy little kiddo and we love him to death!



We are getting ready for Halloween- Cal is going as a Monkey and Carson is going as a Cryptic Rocker. Can't wait to take the boys out trick or treating and to the Cole's Halloween party. I will post some video and pics of the boys soon! But, that's the latest in the Davis house.
