Eric & Jysele's Baptism

Well, here are the pictures I was able to take this afternoon for Eric's baptism invitation. Everyone in cordially invited to attend on May 17th at 11:30 am at the Bella Vista Stake Center. My niece Jysele Luna is also getting baptized that day. Food and family fun follows at the Davis home, all are invited to come.

He's so handsome and sweet.

Jysele is so beautiful all in white.

It's Great to be Eight

Today is Eric John's 8th birthday. He has been so excited about turning eight, he has been reminding me all week. We have a little tradition at our home on birthdays, we gather around the birthday boys bed and sing happy birthday to wake him up. I think Eric John enjoyed it.

Following my birthday ode to my family here are the top 8 reasons why we LOVE Eric John:

8. The sweetest smile ever

7. He tells me he loves me at least 10 times a day

6. He is so thoughtful and loving to everyone

5. He is my official informant when the rest of the boys and Lala are being naughty (does not include himself in the official report)

4. He will share whatever he has with everyone (one cookie or his baseball treat cut into 6 pieces a sight to behold)

3. Loves baseball, playing with friends, pizza, ice cream and all things sweet, just like him

2. Loves to play with Lala, even if it's tea party

And the number 1 reason we Loves Eric John is:

1. The Davis' wouldn't be the Davis' without him

His Baptism is coming up soon. It crept up on me. I've been working on invitations, but they are slow in coming. He will be baptized on May 17th at 11:30 am at the Queen Creek East Stake Center, at the building on Bella Vista. All are invited to come. My niece Jysele will be baptized that same day as well. I'll post their invitation soon.

NACHOOOOOOO!

Okay, I love that people think of us when they go out of town and bring us back neat little gifts and things, but this one I have to say is by far the best and worst one yet. Thank you Andy for giving Eric even more to be nerdy about. He loved the Nacho Libre mask that our good friend Andy Murrietta brought back from his recent trip to Mexico. Was it to make Eric happy or to annoy me? I don't know if I'm so grateful anymore. Who needs TV when you've got Eric.

We're working on the rest of the outfit. He's trying on his strechy pants as we speak.

Is that the most annoying thing you've ever seen or what? I give up.

Prom Night

Josh went to prom Yesterday and from the interrogations he's gotten (from mom) last night and this morning, I gather he had a ton of fun and everyone enjoyed themselves. Four couples went together. They went quading in the morning, had lunch at the park and came home to change for the dance. They had dinner at the Bowman's home courtesy of sister Bowman, and were picked up in a stretch limo (something I've never done before) this was courtesy of the Seymour Family. They went to the dance mostly stood in line for pictures. I was disappointed to hear that they don't decorate for pictures anymore, they stood in front of a green screen so the background can be digitally put in later, that's no fun at all, and it was such a cute theme, One Night in Venice. They Danced, rode home in the Limo and got home about 1:00 am all safe and sound. I can't ask for anything more. Well, maybe some money back in my pocket, prom is soooo expensive. But, look at that smile, priceless... Mr GQ
Shantae and Josh at the Stradling's home. (I got permission to sneak over and take a picture)
The pinning of the boutonniere Putting on the wristlet (less pressure than a corsage)

I also thought his way of asking was very cute,

kind of rude, but very cute He bought a big dump truck and filled it with

Honey Buns and attached a little note that said:

I know, slightly inappropriate, all I can say is that I wasn't home and my husband was the one helping him. She answered with a jar full of mints, two different kinds and he was supposed to smell each one , if there were more spearmint it was a yes, if there were more wintergreen it was no, happy to say that it was a yes and our sinus' are free and clear.

I have to add that I'm grateful for good boys that make good choices and for Shantae and her family, that have taught her to be such a neat Young Lady. I'm glad everyone had a good time.

Eric's Field Trip

I guess it's been a busy week. I went with Eric on his field trip to the Arizona Museum for Youth. It was very interesting and the kids had a great time. We had a grumpy lady as our tour guide, but we had a good time anyway.They got to learn all about art and the different mediums

and create art of their own.
Got to love that cute little face.

Little Picasso

I know everyone always says that 'their' kids are talented, but I have to brag a little. Angela has become quite the artist, maybe she'll take after her momma yet, I'm trying hard. I need someone to take over the wedding business when I retire. She loves to color and create pictures. This one is called banana slip in the forest. And there's a story behind it too. The banana was in the forest and couldn't find his family, but he did find his family and spent the night as his friend's house.

This one is called Humpty Dumpty and he fell off the wall, she knows because she saw it on Blue's Clues, you know, reliable source of news now a days.
Girls are so fun!
