Paging the 6-year old...

Wow- 6 years flew by. Davey had his Big boy birthday party at the park near our house. Except for the g-force winds, the party was a huge success. Ben 10 was the theme complete with an organic cake made by Mom. But the most fun was had at the playground. Davey enjoyed his friends and was showered with transformers, star wars figures, and love from lots of friends. Thanks to all who made my big boy's 6th birthday so special.

UT Fan

It's official... Davey bleeds orange! He's been going to UT games for 3 years, however this year the love of Tennessee football hit! Davey was very interested in the players, the wave, the M&M's, and the score of the game. Apparently with boys, its all about who wins. Fortunately, UT pulled out the win & Davey's eyes were open to the world of football!

1st Day of Kindergarten

How is it possible that my sweet pea is headed to Kindergarten? Davey was born to be a student! He is so eager to learn and I'm excited he is excited. There were no tears from me and no horrible screaming fit from him (like several kids I saw)- Just another transition from tot to big boy! He seemed so mature (could have been the uniform). So motivated, (change of learning venue). And unfortunately, he was able to let me walk out of the classroom with just a simple wave from his seat.
Huh, maybe this is the transition in my life?? You think?t

Ahoy Ship Island

This summer Davey & I took a week off and went with Lou & Poppy to Biloxi and New Orleans. A super time was had by all! First Mommy won $100 in the casino (GREAT way to start off the trip!), then it was off to have some outdoor fun. We planned an excursion trip to Ship Island, a barrier island off the coast of Biloxi, and explored an old Fort, played in the ocean, built a sandcastle, and made friends with a crab named Earl.
Then onto New Orleans where we listened to music, walked the streets, and of course did some shopping.
Davey just loves New Orleans! I believe the expression (when we arrived at the hotel) was "Ahhh... home sweet home"

Reniassance Kid

Another festival, another sword. That seems to be Davey's souvenir of choice. This year we went to the Reniassance on the last day (*note to self- don't go the last day) It seemed lack luster than the year before, or maybe the heat gets to you a little more. Davey had a good time, checking out the knights and wenches, and helped to move some fish n' chips out of the way. He keeps his options open and told me that maybe in a couple of years, he'll be wanting to dress like a knight. Ok by me.
