A Reason to update...

I'm not a blogger.  Don't think I ever will be...no matter how much I wish I was, but who doesn't want to see pictures of our sweet little addition??

Luke Austin Davison

May 31, 2012

8lbs 15 oz and 21 1/2in long

I went into labor Wednesday night, but waited until 6am Thursday morning to go to the hospital.  I wanted Dylan to be able to sleep as much as possible and didn't want to wake my Dad up to come stay with Micah, until I absolutely had to.  When I went into labor with Micah - I went straight to the hospital and laid around for hours, so I wanted to take a different approach this time!  Around 6am we got into our room and answered the million questions they ask you - I was 5cm.  I decided to walk around for a while to speed things up.  Around 9am the doctor broke my water.  45 minutes later - I was debating on getting an epidural, but I wanted to see how far I had progressed.  Since I mentioned an epidural - the silly nurse wouldn't check me because she said she "just" had.  Needless to say - I got an epidural at 10cm...just in time to push :)  Luke came crazy fast at 10:03am...sweet and healthy!

Trip to Missouri

We visited Dylan's family in Missouri all last week. It was so great to see everyone!

Micah's first trip to the zoo

Dylan's mom LOVES giraffes so she was excited for Micah to be able to feed them!

Micah got LOTS of attention while we were there...I think he would like this all the time :)

Dylan and I got to get away one night for a nice date. We always forget to take pictures while we're out so then we end up taking a picture in the car...lame.

The boys in front of the family business!

Love this picture

The Mullet Is Gone!

We finally cut Micah's mullet. Dylan had a mullet when he was young and wanted Micah to walk in his footsteps I guess? Anyway, he agreed to cutting it after SO many people were calling him a girl!

Look how gross his hair was!!

Now he looks so sweet and cute!

Lots to catch up on...

We just got internet in our house which is part of the reason I haven't posted in so long - the other part is just because I'm lazy at blogging. Anyways - I promised pictures of Micah's first birthday so...here ya go!

Where Did The Time Go?

One year ago today Dylan and I were blessed with the most amazing gift....our sweet boy, Micah!

I can't believe he's already a year old. Not really sure where the time went, but he's been such a blessing to us. I look forward to the many more years making memories with this goofy boy!

Happy First Birthday, Micah Samuel!

**Party pics to come! :)

He Is Risen!

We had a great Easter Weekend with family. Last Thursday I had a conversation with a friend talking about Easter and why we celebrate...I'm thankful for times like that. I can so easily get rapped up in the business that comes along with every holiday, I forget the true meaning! Thursday night we had a few families over for a Passover meal, Friday was Good Friday service, and Sunday was Easter - followed by lunch at my Grandmother's house.

California

Our trip to California was so fun! For all of those people who told me I would cry on the plane or miss Micah way too much to have fun...you're crazy! I had a blast. It was so refreshing to have time with Dylan. We stayed busy with the events we had to attend for his work, but we also had down time every afternoon. When we first got there it was cold and rainy - yuck! The rain eventually stopped, but the whole trip was a little cold. We spent time at the spa and relaxed our first day...it was so nice! Our second day we got to see Dylan's sister, Jasmine! She graciously drove 3 hours each way just to spend a couple of hours with us. We haven't seen her since we got married so it was great to spend time with her. Each night when we got back to our rooms after dinner, we had a present. :) So...thanks AT&T for the Eddie Bauer fleeces and the Maui Jim sunglasses. Or should I say - thanks Dylan for all the hard work you did! Overall, we had so much fun...any time AT&T wants to send us on a trip, they can!

Dylan and Jasmine

The pictures don't really give the resort justice...it was absolutely beautiful! We were right on the beach with mountains all around. I am so thankful for this time Dylan and I had!
