Baby Fever and Puppy Love

After spending the summer with so many babies, my baby fever was OUT OF CONTROL! Everywhere I went I was looking at baby things, I was dreaming about babies, I was wanting to spend time with my friends/family's babies...out of control I told you...so I did the only thing all irrational people do, I bought a puppy!

 

 Blog readers, I want to introduce you to Romeo Alfonz Davis.  Assuming you do not follow me on facebook that is, because if you do you are probably over seeing all of my pictures of my beloved Romeo.  He is a Porky (Pomeranian-Yorky) and is expected to get about 7-10 lbs.  He is currently 10 weeks and at 4.5 so I'm thinking it will be towards the higher end of that, if not closer to 12.  He is a total blast, when he isn't napping between noon and five everyday, which those hours he turns into a total diva.  He prefers not to be disturbed when sleeping and loves to play either alone or with anyone available.  We LOVE having him in the house.  I try to take him as many places as possible so he can get used to things and be that carry around dog I want him to be without worrying about him getting nippy with strangers or running off.  So far, we've been to the airport to pick up Uncle Tanner and Grandpa Perry, boating with the whole family, many many Jeep rides (which he hates because he's not fond of wind), to Daddy's softball game and all over town. Now I shall overload you with baby pictures, and some of his dog family... ha!

 total daddy's boy.

 Love. Him.

Hey Hey, I do exist!

Well, Hello little blog! Long time no post! It's been a BUSY 3 months around the Davis house.  So busy, in fact, that for a few weeks we needed 2 houses.  Since my last post we have bought a new vehicle, moved houses, fixed up new house, got a puppy, had to rehome our other beautiful baby girl (Hayley) and acquired a new roommate (PJ's brother).  We have had house guests or projects going every single day of this summer.  I made some time for reading, for catching up with people, for going to the MOVIES.  It's been busy but it's been nice! Somehow in the midst of being crazy busy I sure have found time to EAT! My diet went out the window as soon as summer started and I have PUT ON 15 lbs! With fall, comes changes, I hope. Things are STARTING to settle down and so it is time to get back to blogging.  I feel like I took a full on summer vacation from my laptop entirely.

My biggest disappointment in all of this chaos? We have redone several rooms in our new house and I've taken next to NO pictures! As a before and after junkie, this is just flat embarrassing.  As we continue to fix it up, that's a big goal of mine...to be more active in actually showing the progress made.

Lets recap my summer...the highlights at least...

 This IS my Christian Grey! I was obsessed with the series and have always loved Gabriel Macht in Suits (on USA if you don't watch it, you should!) but now every time I watch it I find myself literally smiling thinking of him as Christian.  Top fantasy pick changed...love him and loved the book!!

 Bought my dream Jeep...well my dream jeep is burnt orange but I do love the red too!! 4 door (room for expansion if needed ;)) and so much fun!! Thankfully we've had next to no rain this year so it's been taken apart the majority of the time we've had it.  PJ even made some nifty door holders so they don't get scratched up.  I love love love love love it!

 Family...need I say more! This little beauty is growing up so fast I just can't seem to get a grasp. Every time I see her I'm completely stunned with how much she has grown. Ah, too fast...toooo fast.

Perry bought a little boat and we actually got to see water this year! Went to Ceasar's Creek a couple of times and had a total blast on the water. I am not as young as I used to be so this girl stayed away from tubing but watching everyone else flop and flail made me hurt.

Weddings! We said congrats to PJ's good friends and army buddies Chris and his new wife Kim and Mitch and his new wife Jen. Both were absolutely beautiful weddings! It really made me miss wedding planning. Thankfully my very best friend, Rachel, got engaged about a week after my wedding itch started to drive me crazy. Woohoo! Another reason to get this butt in shape!

Tim and Kenny came to town! It was a HOT concert but the storm in the middle really cooled things down. Tim McGraw's show was like going down memory lane...and although I wasn't a huge Kenny fan, I have more respect for him and his music after hearing him live! Loved it!

 Umm...did I mention LITTLE BROTHER CAME HOME?? He's been in town since July 27th and leaves next Monday! It's been so nice having him here!! :)

we got this little guy too...but he's so awesome, he'll be getting a blog all to himself!

Now that you are on photo overload and update on my blogless summer, I fully expect you to read the next on that little fur ball that stole my heart! :)

Thanks for reading!

Memorial Day...this finally decided to post?

 Hey ya'll!!! The past two weeks have been CRAZY!!! Beautiful weather = me outside and blogging being the last thing from my mind.  In the past 2 weeks hubby and I bought a new Jeep, decided we were going to move, went boating, took our dog to the ever so expensive neurologist and I spent some much needed time with my little sister who I haven't really gotten to spend time with, ever and and I cut all my hair off.  It's been amazing!! In the past week, I've found out I have two buldged discs in my back and been taken off work and fought to get  back on...this broke girl needs monnney! It's been a whirl wind but an awesome one. I am starting to feel better and will let some pictures speak for themselves at this point!

 PJ couldn't stand not having anywhere to put the doors from the Jeep so being the super handy guy that he is, he built these the morning after we got it! The first 4 days the doors never went on...PERFECT weather!!!

 So pretty, and 4 doors in case we decided to start working on a little one! 

Obsessed with going doorless :)

Proud owners, and so excited that it came with the hard and soft top for the lovely weather that is, Ohio.

 Ashley was so excited to ride doorless and I was so excited to have her with me, I didn't even care why! We spent the day at Kings Island with Kasi and Linsay and had so much fun...even if we only got to ride a few rides because the lines were crazy! We will absolutely be hanging out more this summer. For a girl who has had such a little time with me, she is so much like me and I'm so excited to become a larger part of her life. She's beautiful and strong and I'm so proud of who she is becoming. :)

 

I took my baby to the neurologist for his seizures...I wish I had more answers but we are getting closer.  We changed his meds a little bit and although I'm seeing some progress he is still seizing multiple times a day...which is way too much.  I'm supposed to call next Monday with an update, we might start looking in another direction and look at behavior modifications to help revent them.  He's my baby doll and I just want him fixed. 3.5 years of this is just too long.

I fried my hair in November by, (yea I'm going to be bold here) getting a PERM.  Who in their right mind does that? I thought it would give me those nice big curls that have a beautiful flow to them, didn't happen.  Instead, I ended up looking like I was wearing my favorite pasta dish on my head.  It's been a battle since.  I have about 6-8 inches of permed hair left, so I went ahead and cut 4 of them off.  Hopefully by winter, I'll be back to my normal hair which I miss so dearly. NEVER try to alter your hair, God will punish you for not counting your blessings, I've come to believe so anyway.

I got my cricut out to make this pretty little picture.  I'm going to make another to go on the other side that says "you'll never know dear how much I love you" with the one in previous blog that has a D on it in the middle. I'm pretty pumped for the new room to sport my obessesion with gray and yellow :)

This summer is about to get choatic.  We are working on painting and fixing a few things in our new house, which we got keys to today! And the moving at the end of the month.  We got a free hot tub, (SCORE) so hopefully that will be set up along with our pool by July 4th.  PJ's brother will be here for the first time in 6 years July 9th and everyone is really excited for him to be here, and then Tanner (who we went to see in Texas) will be here at the end of July.  Other family will be in and out to visit those two so we have to get our new house up and ready for guests! I'm so excited to be living somewhere that I can make my own!

On to fabulous finds that make my day? Why, sure, glad you asked!

Lets go...

So I'm not a cat person, but I am a turtle person and this makes me giggle. I have a turtle who's name is Tank and he lives in a huge 80 gallon fish tank all to himself (yes we spoil our pets) and there are SO many times he's moving slowly and it creeps me out! Gotta love this!

SUCH a fav. My friend and nurse I work with, Gloria, put this on Facebook and it was so screen worthy! I love love love it!

My husband makes fun of me but this is my go to picture for ANY bad day. I have no idea why but I laugh out loud everyday I see it. I had it as my background on my phone. so cute!!

That's it for the ever so seldom update on my life. Thanks for reading!!
