Myrtle Beach August 2009

We went to Myrtle Beach for a week with Gigi & Poppy and had so much fun! Allie loved playing on the beach and she didnt eat the sand this year which was a plus! She was able to build sand castles, play in the ocean, pick up seashells, etc. She also loved playing in the water park and going down the water slide. Unfortunately mommy couldnt go down the slides with her. The lazy river was mommy's favorite part :-)

Most days were spent on the beach under the umbrella and most nights were spent eating out, shopping at Broadway At The Beach, playing mini golf, and going to Barefoot Landing. We took Allie to the Ripley's Aquarium and she loved seeing all of the sharks and fish swim overhead. She says that her favorite part of the beach was riding the carousel! Next summer I am sure the beach wont be half as relaxing as we will not only have one child but two to get suits on, lotion on, bathe after the day at the beach, etc. Which means double the amount of stuff we have to haul down there too! We definetly need a bigger car by next summer :-)

Hunter's Room Update

Hunter's room is pretty much ready for his arrival!! We were able to use paintings in his room from when I was a baby that my parents had saved. My parents bought Hunter a new dresser for his room which looks great! The little animals on top of the dresser were a collection that I had as a baby/child and they are now Hunter's. There are less than 3 months until his big arrival, we are just playing the waiting game now!

Dress Up

Allie loves to play 'dress up' now and will go into her closet and pick out shoes, put on her tutu by herself & anything else she can get her hands on. She enjoys walking around in mommy's nice shoes & also loves playing with her hair. She is turning into such a big girl!

Baby Hunter's Nursery

Clint added a chair rail to the nursery last weekend and today he painted the room, everything turned out great! We decided on a dresser and ordered it last week and it should be delivered in about three weeks. Everything is coming together with the nursery and we just need to add a few final touches and we will be set!

My little ballerina

Allie Rae starts ballet classes next Saturday morning. There are ten other little girls her age in the class and they meet for thirty minutes each Saturday thru August. She is very excited and cant wait to meet her teacher. She loves to put on her leotard and twirl. As you can see in the video she sometimes will bump into things!

Baby Hunter

Baby Hunter is due to arrive on November 4, 2009. We are so excited and have been busy getting ready for his big arrival. Allie is looking forward to being a big sister. She talks to my belly and says 'hi baby Hunter'. Hunter's full name is going to be Hunter Nelson Davis. He is being delivered at St. Francis hospital by Dr. Hicks. The doctor who delivered Allie Rae no longer delivers babies which we are sad about but we do however like our new doctor. She is located in the same practice and has been highly recommended. I am 19 weeks pregnant, it is hard to believe that five months have already gone by!

Daddy Turns 30!

Clint turned 30 on June 6th and to celebrate I planned a surprise birthday dinner at Yamato Japanese Steakhouse. The day started out with Clint being surprised when neighbors started asking him about his birthday, he had yet to see the big bright yellow sign I placed on the front porch for everyone to see! We went to the zoo for the day and Clint thought we were going to dinner, just the three of us. When we arrived at the restaurant he was quite surprsied to see sitting at the table his mom & step father, my parents, our friends Amelie & Troy & my aunt & uncle. Next came yet another surprise (usually Clint does not even like to celebrate birthdays yet alone have cake, ice cream and presents, etc.) when we got home from dinner we sang happy birthday and had ice cream cake followed by his big birthday present being brought inside, his new 6 burner stainless steel Char broil grill! He said that was the first birthday since he was ten years old that he enjoyed & was so surprised that he had no idea about any of the plans.
