First Day/Last Day

From his first day as a Pre-K kid, to his last day as a 3rd Grader.

Shopping with DJ

We found a box to haul all of Davis' detecting equipment! We decided on a smaller version of the tool box, though.

Lego Scene

355 pieces of intergalactic awesomeness! after completion, the fun really begins!   (scenes staged & explained by DJ) Tie Fighter pilot has an embarrassing moment: grazed by his own photon cannon. (DJ says Rob & Steelo would like this one)  Then, when a prime opportunity to nab a pesky Rebel Alliance member arises,  he gets stuck in the hatch. Bare Feet be Warned: Now taking flight in a galaxy near you!

Must Keep Building

Davis loves building with Legos. From basic level kits to advanced builds, he's ready for anything.  He also enjoys creating his own Lego characters, vehicles & futuristic structures!

Congrats, DJ!

Davis was presented with an Academic Award! He maintained A's & B's during the entire school year!   Good Job, Davis!

First Aid for Splinters

Splinters used to be near the top of DJ's most dreaded injuries. Removing splinters by "force" was excruciatingly painful for all involved.   There had to be a better way.   And, thanks to a Google search, there is. After a few misguided fails, (eggshells, school glue) we found a winner: Baking Soda.  It's quick, easy, and best of all, pain-free: 1. Thoroughly clean & dry the affected area. 2. Scoop-out about a tablespoon of baking soda 3. Make a paste by adding a small amount of water (about the consistency of toothpaste) 4. Generously cover the splinter with the baking soda paste. 5. Cover with a band aid. 6. Wait. How long? It depends on how deep the splinter is. Usually, results are in a matter of hours.

Sizable Matters

It just doesn't seem that long ago  when we shopped in the toddler section for clothes.  The boy now wears Youth Large sized clothing.

Special Day!



Fun Day!

Initially, DJ said he was uninterested about the kid's area at a local fast food restaurant. 2 minutes later.. He's asking for additional time

Matters of Style

 in vehicles and clothing DJ has a very discerning eye.     Stile italiano è il migliore !

Team Tie Dye

It's Field Day at Davis' school! We're not exactly sure what Field Day is about. He was assigned to a team & instructed to bring a full change of clothes. Davis should have some fun, interesting stories after school.

after a long day Summer can't get here soon enough!

She's much better

Shiloh had a scary incident when her back foot got caught between the seats in the jeep. 2 of her toenails had to be 'surgically repaired' by  the doggie doctor.   She spent her 2 hour recovery (after being sedated) in the 'Great Dane Room.' It's quite likely she charmed her way out of being placed in a smaller enclosure.  She's feeling so much better now.

At the 'ol Ballgame!

It's always a good time to get out to a ballgame at Arvest Ballpark! This was a special night- meet & greet with the Naturals in the dugout before the game! The one-game-only player jerseys were in celebration of Strike the mascot's birthday  Anderson De La Rosa & Bubba Starling !  Anderson let Davis experience a real catcher's mask! (DJ said it was super-heavy) (surprisingly clean, too) Malcom Culver & Ali Williams ! Happy Birthday, Strike ! (not sure when his trusty sidekick, Sinker the Lake Creature celebrates his/her birthday) Birthday pounds all around! Strike the Sasquatch , according to legend, found a home in Arvest Ballpark at the inaugural game in 2008. ...back in the day, (2010) "The Hoz" was simply "Eric" Perfect weather = More fun! ...thinking about what it would be like under the bright lights...  $6 for Name & Number on the back of a t-shirt je...
