Manie and Sean's Wedding Weekend

-

My cousin Manie got married this last weekend and it was an AMAZING wedding. All the Davis family came in for the big day and we had such fun being with cousins and baby cousins and friends. We had huge pool parties and grilled burgers and ran up and down the hill to the river bottom and back.
Manie had everything planned to perfection. Uncle Larry had transformed the river bottom. It was so special to have the wedding down on our river bottom. Uncle Larry and Aunt Joyce had married down there 35 years ago. I actually remember the wedding!
Even though the floods have taken many of our trees, it still looked beautiful. Manie made dream catchers that hung above and used old doors to mark the entrance of the ceremony aisle. She and Sean made all the food and it was incredible. They had a choreographed first dance and amazing cake and a store's bonfire.
We all danced and laughed and toasted her. They are an incredible couple and perfect for each other. I did a reading from my dad's song, "Soul in Time", so he was there too.
It was a tremendous time of joy for our Davis Family and it was so nice to join in celebration with them.

New Roof

We have a new roof. Our tile roof was supposed to last a lifetime, but it was put on incorrectly and so we've been fighting leaks ever since we moved in. We had some bids offered on both a new tile roof or on several different types of metal. We chose a metal roof because I grew up with a metal roof and loved it and because it was less expensive than the tile. It took the crew seven working days to take off the tile and put up the new roof. They did a great job and we really love it. We were worried at first that it wouldn't be as beautiful, but we really do like it. Now I want to repaint the front door though.

New Directions/New Blog

-
The times, they are a'changing. I think it might be time to start something new. I have the idea that I want to start a new travel website/blog. I want it to be fancy and pretty. It will be a place to focus all my travel obsession/passion. I will blog our trips there and talk about travel with children. I will post when I find places that I want to travel to and I will post when I find great travel deals. I will talk about the points game too. I want to talk about Generational Travel. I want to talk about traveling with small children, but I also want to talk about how it is to travel with my dad and my grandparents. I haven't been able to find any websites out there that talk about travel with alzheimers and I think it would be helpful to some people. Katie already told me she'd help with my social media. (sure, with all her spare time. ;)) This blog has been my journal for seven years. I have loved keeping a record of my family here. Each year, when I rec...

Love for My Boys

First, Sam. Sam is in such a sweet stage right now. Gentle, giving, fun, sweet, easy. He loves to cuddle and share. He's talking a ton now and growing so fast. He's learning to ride a bike and yesterday and twice today, he pooped in the potty! He's only 21 months!!! He's working on his two year old molars and has been carrying around an old metal rattle to chew on. This morning he accidentally whacked Davis on the head with it. Davis cried and I pulled him in my lap. Sam ran over and crawled up next to us on the couch. "What happened?", he asked, deeply concerned. I explained that he had hurt his brother. Sammy said, "So Sorry, Dadis. Hug.", and gave him a big hug. Then he said to Davis, "I loves you.". I've never heard him say he loved anything or anyone and I was so touched to hear him say it to his brother. He would follow Davis anywhere and does. He leaps from the couch after Davis and tromps through the grass. He ex...
