Nate's party and Thanksgiving

Here are some pictures from Nate's party. I don't know why I couldn't get them in order, so they are in reverse order here. So I'm technology challenged!! Oh well....

Lori's banner that she made for Nate. It says "Baby Nate Turns 1!"

Daddy, cake is GOOD!!!

And after!!

Before he dug in to his little cake.....



Hello everyone! Can anyone believe that it is almost December?? Tomorrow is December 1st!! Where did this last year go? It just seemed to fly by. We had such a great Thanksgiving weekend and were able to get so much accomplished. We had a great Thanksgiving meal, did some fabulous Black Friday shopping, threw Nate's birthday party and had a small family reunion....whew!! I'm still tired! Wish I could post ALL the pictures, but I'll post what I can.


We really missed seeing the Vargas side of our family, but we look forward to spending Christmas with them again this year. It will be so great to show off all of Nate's skills, and by then he may be walking by himself, who knows??!! Anyways, we want to send the Vargas family our love and let them know that they were missed. This was DJ's first Thanksgiving away from his parents, and it was hard for him. But it will make Christmas all that much more special, and we can't wait!

Nate's Birthday!

Enjoying his birthday cake and not too sure about his hat from Aunt Christy!

Ok, I know I'm way late with this post. But give me a break...I was SICK! :)



We celebrated Baby Nate's first birthday last week, on Tuesday 11/16/10. The night before we were feeling so many different things....disbelief that he is already one, joy that he is developing so well, happiness that he has had minimal problems, sadness that a year has already gone by and our baby is getting so big!! And many other things. We laid in bed the night before his b-day thinking back to that night we went to the hospital. The excitement, fear of the unknown, anxiousness to get it over with and meet our son. We went over the events of the night in detail..."remember how my mom just barely made it in time to see Nate coming out?", "remember how they had to work on him for a few minutes because he had the cord around his neck?", "remember how tiny and squirmy he was and how he had that squeak in his cry?" and so on. It was such an amazing night and early morning, and we wanted to remember every detail. Hopefully as time goes on we will still be able to remember those first few moments with him that were so special. We are so in love with Nate, and treasure every minute we have with him.



So Happy Birthday, Nate! We love you so much and are so proud of you. Get ready for this weekend with your party, Thanksgiving, and our little family reunion...it will be lots of fun and we will be celebrating you all year!

"How cute am I, Daddy?"

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a Spooktacular Halloween weekend like we did! Baby Nate went trick-or-treating with his cousins up here on his "Davis side". He had the cutest little Pooh bumblebee costume that his Nana got him, and he didn't mind wearing it at all! We took the head part off towards the end because it was a little warm, but he didn't complain the whole time! And he sat in the wagon with his cousin Bryson for most of the night, except for a few blocks when mommy and daddy held him. Baby Nate sure did bring in a LOT of candy for us to enjoy!! :) Boy....some people really go all out with their decorating for Halloween. But my favorite is the picture of the "graves" of the Rays, Yankees and Giants that someone put in their yard!! May not happen for the Rangers this year, especially after last night's game...but it sure was some creative Halloween decorating. Hope you enjoy the pictures!
