Once there was a snowman....

It was out first official day of christmas vacation today. We have recently got a ton of snow so me and the kids decided to go out and make a snowman after lunch!

I was going to wait until after Harper had gone down for a nap but I thought why not let her join in on the fun...even if she did scream at me the whole time. Plus she looks cuter than any person on the planet when she's in all her pink snow gear!

So here he is...our snowman! Sadly he didn't last very long. It started to rain so snowman now has a melted face. He went from looking happy, happy, happy! To looking like he had a stroke. Oh well it was fun while it lasted!

Santa I know him....

A few weeks ago we went to our ward christmas breakfast. We have lived here eight years and we've never been. Mostly because it's a breakfast that starts a 9am. We aren't exactly moving that early on a Saturday. But we did it, ate all the breakfast cassarolles (yuck) you could imagine and looked forward to our visit with Santa. Our ward has a few good characters in it so I thought hey santa probably won't be that bad. Think again....I was really waiting for jack to bust his all time favorite quote of "you're not the real santa...you're a fake....you smell like meats and cheeses"

Luckily he made a good picture he just wasn't very jolly and when he told Harper , "am I going to have to tickle your knee to get you to smile?" Things got a smidge weird and it was time to get out of there!

Luckily we had another Santa time lined up and this guys was the real deal!!! Last year we went to kneaders and had breakfast with Santa one Monday night and it was the best so we made it a tradition!

This Santa was really the best! He knew their names, totally called the boys out on their brotherly behaviors and allergy to cleaning their room and put Harper in her terrible two place. He even talked to them about their elf Elfis and how he has been talking to santa about them. It was magical!!! Trey also discovered there is something worse than getting coal...Santa told him if he wasn't good he would bring him a Barbie! It was great the boys had the best time and Harper could not get enough of batting her eyes at the big man!!

The saga that is the garage door....

So you know when you have those days that just suck and you wish you could go to sleep and have it been over. Well that's what life has been like at the davidson house for the majority of 2013. We have had the worse luck this year. If it's not one of our appliances breaking its a car problem or whatever else you can think of. So rewind back to September. We were getting ready to go on our vacation to disneyland we were glad because we needed a break. The night before we left I had a bad feeling something was going to happen while we were gone, then our oven exploded! So I thought oh hey that must be what was going to happen and tried to push the thoughts out of my mind. We went our merry way to disneyland. Spent 2 hours in LA traffic to only go one mile. We were all cranky and hungry. We pulled into our hotel and went straight to disneyland. Then it happened Richards phone started to ring he wasn't going to answer it, but decides he should since it was a logan number. He answered it and while literally walking through the gates of disneyland was told. "It's your neighbor my truck just went through your garage door!" So there was my bad feeling!!

To make along story short his truck popped out of gear and since their driveway is on a slant it flew down the driveway across the road and into our garage. Now I don't know what most people would do but considering our luck this last year we laughed and said ok we'll take care if it when we get back. They were able to get someone to come out and secure the garage for us so that the garage door wouldn't fall on someone or we wouldn't get robbed thank goodness! It's so great to know that we have the kind if neighbors that will go to great lengths to look out for one another. So with that we went on our vacation and had a great time. 

Now when we got back that was another story! We pulled into our driveway around 930 one night when we went to go in the house we discovered we had been locked out. One of our neighbors thought they would put all the kids bikes in the house and lock the door so that no one would steal them. It was a very nice gesture but unfortunately we didn't have a key to our house on us. So we were locked out and had to climb all over the house looking for a window that would open so we could break in. So that was fun. The next day we talked to our poor neighbors that had the accident happen to work all the business out and get insurance information. 

For the next week we dealt with insurance company people, garage door people and finally were approved for a new set of garage doors. We were very lucky because we got to get them both replaced. They didn't make the garage doors that we had anymore so both needed to be done. So fast forward right long weeks of waiting and here we are today!

With two new absolutely beautiful garage doors! 

We got carriage doors minus the windows and they are totally gorgeous! I'm so glad I can finally pull my car in the garage! Putting kids into a cold car was starting to get to be no fun. I hated it but they hated it even more. Trey is so glad that he can play basketball agian. We are all just so happy to have this saga over with!

This is halloween....

Halloween our favorite time of year!!! I feel like this halloween has been the longest coming ever! Going to disneyland and celebrating halloween so early has made this seem like the longest holiday of all time. We have had fun though! This whole last week has been full of spookiness! 

Harper started Monday off with this awesome outfit. She just had to wear jacks shirt and the whole rest of the day she walked around saying "I'm jack the pumpkin queen!!!!" Just to tick jack off. So that was a good day ;)

Later that night the kids got all dressed up for the school halloween parade! Harper decided she would be Minnie Mouse that night while trey and jack stuck with their king candy and fix it Felix! It was a circus but they had fun showing off their cool costumes!

We carved pumpkins! Trey has gotten to be a good little scooper the other two not so much! We carved squishy from monsters university, the poison apple from Snow White, jack wanted a yeti and I must say I think I did pretty good with that one! Harper wanted sulley and finally the witch in the poison apple! We had fun! We love getting creative with our pumpkins every year!!

Finally it was halloween night! Unfortunately the kids all had horrible colds so it wasn't our best but we still had fun! We visited family and trick or treated the night away! I must say that we live on the best street ever!!! Our kids and us got loaded up with candy, cookies and donuts! It was amazing! I guess that's what we get for having the cutest kids ever!!! Happy halloween!!!

College game day fan of the week....

Trey is obsessed with college football! There is never any question about how he will spend his Saturdays! About a month ago I took a picture of him studying this college football statistics magazine. It's something he studies up on every week. When I took this picture I posted it in Instagram and tagged it with #collegegameday

Later that night I had a comment left on my pic from a pretty big college game day group on Instagram called fans favorite fan that had chosen trey as the college game day fan of the week!!!!!

He was already asleep for the night, but I knew how excited he would be so I woke him up to tell him! He couldn't believe it! They wanted to send him a care package so I sent them our info and treys favorite teams and then we waited....and waited....and waited some more. It never came. He came home from school everyday to find out it still wasn't here. I finally after a couple of weeks decided to email them to see what was up. They quickly found our package had been delivered to the wrong address and sent him out a new one and it arrived on our doorstep this morning!!!

He was so excited and let's be honest as far as care packages go this sucker was amazing!!!! He got a Wisconsin pennet, Stuff from UCLA, an Oregon string backpack along with a shirt!!! There was also pompoms and football suckers in there too along with a nice little note! I have never seen him so excited! This kid is the luckiest!!!!

Fun run...

The boys did a fun run for their school fundraiser this year! I was so excited because it meant we didn't have to buy any crap and all the money went straight back to the school! They were suppose to be "training" for four weeks prior to this event but they are two pretty active little guys so they just did their best!

Here was trey after the run he ran a whole mile the whole way! He said he was ready to barf out his heart when he was done but I think he looked pretty darn good! He had to run the block around the whole school two times and he was a champ! Jack had to only run around the school once and he was no where to be found so he must have ran really fast!

They both got pretty awesome fun run shirts! They did great and they are proud to be Wilson wildcats!!!

I feel like we've been to disneyland so many times that I tell the same thing over and over again so here is our trip through pictures!
