Typical Thursday.....

Well today was a typical day in the Davis house.... which translates to a "drama free" day.  I can totally handle drama free any day!
The highlight of the morning was our typical Thomas the train and Bob the Builder favorites with Rex, he comes running anytime he hears the theme songs to either show.  It's such a sweet time to rest my head on his little head and smell his hair while he claps and enjoys his favorite shows.  For that small amount of time I think back to when he was small enough to swaddle and how amazingly handsome & smart he is at 2 years old.  He captures everyone with his adorable smile and his sweet little Rex swag he carries around everywhere!  Just gotta love him!
Today taught me:

• My daughter poots when she coughs (so she says)
• Hunter loves what any other little boy loves, especially scab picking
• Rex told a complete stranger "bless you" when they sneezed

I FEEL FAT......
Robbie tells me all the time I am not fat, but me being a typical woman always comments on gaining a pound here and there, but lately due to popcorn and golden oreos I have put on about 10 pounds sitting at home during the day, so I ask my husband all the time "am I fat?" and he always replies "No, baby you are beautiful," well at the doctor today I weighed myself and sure enough I have gained 10 pounds and that to me is not okay.  So I get home from the doctors office and ask him again "please be honest am I fat."  He again replies, "no baby you are beautiful."  I assured him I could take it if he thought I was and I just simply wanted him to be honest, so he replies, okay fine you need to lose 30 pounds.  Well my reverse psychology kicked in and I was upset, "what do you mean 30 pounds, I thought you said I was beautiful, how could you."  He obviously could not win and I really wanted to hear that I was skinny and I didn't really have to tackle exercise and dieting, but the truth is I have to get more in shape.  I cannot sit around and eat golden oreos and popcorn all day every day and stay in shape.  So as much as I do not want to admit it, I have to learn to diet and get in shape not only for myself, but as an example for my family.  So being completely honest today I have to lose 20 pounds for me to feel comfortable with myself, so tonight I sit in the recliner and sulk, tomorrow I run.....
,,,,,unless a genie appears and I get a wish to be super model skinny overnight, not holding my breath.

Easter Sunday was filled with memories of Jesus, family and incredible moments for Rex.  Rex absolutely loves tractors, dump trucks and trains.  He is a typical boy, and loves anything loud, the louder the better.  Every day he watches Bob the Builder, his all time favorite show.  So seeing that Mimi & Papa Davis had a real life Bob the Builder Tractor in their back yard was one of the highlights of the day.  Then Daddy offered to sit on the tractor with Rex and that was absolutely amazing, but when Uncle Bradley cranked it up and moved it while letting Rex drive, that made his day!  He has never smiled sooooo much and was a little reluctant about getting off that tractor.  Seeing him light up and smile over something like a tractor showed me that he is simple, life is simple to a two year old, and the smallest thing made for an incredible day. 

Thank you  to my in laws, my hubby and Uncle Bradley for making this little boy a happy little builder!

 

Learning along the way....

Learning lessons about life is sometimes the hardest of anything.  I mean you want to believe that everyday will be fun, happy and simply bliss, but is it really?  Or is every single day filled with it's own lessons for life?  I think I will lean more towards the 2nd one.  I have decided that life is not always about happy moments, but you can make each moment a little happier if you see the good in it.  My kids, all 3 keep me and my husband on our toes every single day, and each day is filled with chaotic moments, but there is always laughter.  I am very detail oriented, I like everything to have a place of it's own and everything to be scheduled out so there is no surprises, but my husband is the complete opposite.  He likes to be out of the house, whereas I am a bit of the homebody.  He likes to stay busy, where I could just as easily have a day with nothing on the calendar and be perfectly happy.  We compliment each other and hey Jack, opposites attract, so here we are happily married, in love with 3 adorable children.  We are a family, we fight together, love together and stay together no matter what comes our way.  I plan to record all the moments, happy & sad and the lessons we have learned along the way.  I have to admit the ending to every single Duck Dynasty has triggered this in my mind to go back over the day and pick the things out that taught us lessons whether they be good or bad.  God Bless, KD
