Happy Graduation Day Tyler!

Today was Tyler's graduation ceremony from God's Garden Preschool where he finished 3 great years meeting nice people, learning new things and having a lot of fun!

And yes, Josh, he did get a cap, but no gown. His cap was made from a cut off party hat and paper that his classmates had signed.

Class of 2009

Don't worry boys, Kindergarten won't be that bad!

This is Tyler's favorite friend from his class, Jason. They are a great pair!

Tyler and Thomas have been friends since they were babies. They started preschool together in the same class as two year olds and now they are finishing together as 5 year olds!

Congratulations Tyler!!! You are on to bigger and better things!

Congratulations Mike!

and thanks for graduating the year Barack Obama decided to speak at the ASU commencement ceremony!

Despite Obama's tall stature, he is just a speck on the stage, behind the podium.

Thankfully, he was on the big screen!

Even though it was HOT HOT HOT, it was well worth feeling sweat drip down the back of my legs to see Air Force One fly over, watch the motorcade pull in, and hear his speech in person!

A glimpse into the future...

...or at least it better be!

Mike graduates from ASU with his MBA tonight!
We, along with Barack Obama, who will be speaking at the ceremony, are proud of you!
Congrats Mike!!!

This crazy kid just turned 3!!!

Collin has made some big changes! He no longer wears diapers! YAY! He is ready for a big boy bed. He choses to sleep on the floor because he doesn't like sleeping in his crib (we took the front railing off). He talks a TON!!! Sometimes I wish he would stop! And he is going to start preschool this fall, and will not be a dropout!

Happy Birthday, Cookie!!! We sure do love you even though you drive us crazy sometimes!

The New Ash Wednesday

What? Doesn't every little boy walk around the grocery store applying moisturizer?

Fish'n on the Clackamas River last weekend.

Happy Easter from the Davis boys!

SeaWorld

We went on some rides

Collin met a few friends

Oh ya, and we saw some sea life!

Happy St. Patty's Day!!

We celebrated by making green cupcakes, green pancakes and green applesauce.

One Old Lady's Trash is a Little Boy's Treasure

The city of Phoenix does a bulk trash pick-up 4 times a year. People leave huge piles of trash in the street that the city will pick up, no questions asked. Ours and our neighbors pile was all yard debris. Our neighbors sons were helping an elderly neighbor clean out her yard and garage. The boys put this doll house in the pile so Collin and I snatched it up. He loves it!! All of his little people, weebles and trains live in the house.

Bike helmet? It's always important to be safe!

The Furminator

Are the Cottonwood trees blooming? Did a Golden Retriever explode in your yard? No, it's just Tyson shedding. Now that it is time for Tyson to shed his winter coat, we finally got ourselves a Furmintor. It is the BEST deshedding tool! Worth every penny!

That's only part of the hair. The rest is blowing down the street. Sorry dear neighbors!! Better outside than in my bed, hiding under furniture or lurking in corners! My vacuum cleaner and sinuses are thankful!

Transportation Day

Collin took his favorite form of transportation to see all the vehicles.

Getting to know a police horse

Safety first

Checking out a rescue helicopter

Tyler's favorite was the Jelly Belly Bus because they gave out free jelly beans. The boys had a great time and I am proud to say that we had nothing to do with the cat adoption bus rolling off into the desert! (no people or cats were hurt when a kid let off the parking brake)
