Weight: 14 lbs 50%

Derek turned 3 months on the 19th. Time is flying by so fast.
We all just love watching the stages that he is going though.
I does not like tummy time but doesn't he hold his head up so well. I love to listen to him talk to me. The other night I started to softly tickle him and he started to laugh. It was so cute to watch him. He is grabbing on to things now. When ever I try to put him done he has got a hand tightly gripped around my shirt. He also loves to suck on this first and middle finger on his left hand (so does Jackson). Its so fun to see how he is different and similar to Erica and Jackson.
He keeps growing chunkier and chunkier everyday. I love it. Those cheeks are so soft you just have to kiss them.

Jackson made our bed. Isn't he such a great helper!?
(This is our new bed. I just love it. We also got it for a great price that made it even better.)

Erica: "Dad are you thinking you know what I'm thinking?"

Dad: "I think I do."

Erica: "I'm thinking this isn't very fun."

Brent had "Young Men" on Tuesday Night. They played volleyball with the Young Women. I thought that it would be fun for all of us to go together so the kids and I could get out of the house. The weather here has been miserable (Mostly wind). Upon arriving at the church, Jackson found a basketball that kept him occupied the entire time we were there. Erica stayed with Brent and watched the kids play. It was while they were watching that Erica and Brent had the little monologue above. Kids say the funniest things.

"How to make a Sandwich" By, Erica

1. Get out the Bread, Mustard, Mayo, Cheese, and Turkey.
2. Spread the Mayo and Mustard on bread.
3. Slice the cheese with cheese slicer.
4. Place Cheese on Bread.
5. Place Turkey on Bread.
6. Put the top on.
7. Enjoy!!!
8. All of this is done while looking absolutely gorgeous.

Erica loves to make her own Turkey sandwich. That's all she wants to eat, and I think its because she gets to make it herself. A couple of weekends ago I took Jackson to the the store with me and while I was gone Erica got everything out herself and made lunch for her and Brent. It was so cute. She is growing up so fast.

I love my cute kids!
(Don't you love how Jackson is so proud of himself for unwrapping his diaper?!)

Twin's for the Waters

Today at 10:00am our friends Kaden and Amanda Waters from Richfield had their twin girls. We are so excited for them. They named them Maylee and Ellie. So cute.

Happy 2nd Birthday Jackson!

I can't believe that our little guys is two years old already. We had a really fun evening with the Kids. We ate dinner and then had some of Jackson's soccer cake. I think that this is my favorite cake that I have made. Jackson loved it so much. He was way excited when he saw it. After cake we took Erica and Jackson for a Bath. They were pretty messy after cake and ice cream. Then we talked with Brent's parents over skype while Jackson opened presents. Nana and Grandpa gave him a toy story outfit and a Woody and Jessie doll. Erica of course took over the Jessie doll and Jackson didn't seem to care. Brent and I gave him some little robots that he was so excited about, and a tracker, and a little backpack to carry his things around in. Erica gave him a drum and Derek gave him a see and say. It was so much fun to watch his excitement. I don't think that I have ever heard him say so many words before. He also started to say new words.
Words that Jackson can Say:
Football
Robot
mama
dadda
all gone
dayday (Derek)
geeka (Erica)
Ball
Cheese (Please)
Ha Ha(Sounds like he is singing Thank you)
Gaaaa (Growling sound meaning Gandpa Kenney)
Hogarth (from the movie The Iron Giant)
Nana
ByeBye
When he says football he holds his hands up in the air and says FOOTBALL really loud. So cute.
After saying good bye to Nana and Grandpa it was time for bed. We read Lama Lama Red Pajama, and There's a Rumble in the Jungle. They are Jackson's favorite books right now along with Goodnight Moon. Brent and I have really enjoyed having him and getting to know his personality. He is the happiest kid and has such a great smile to go along with it.

Our Little Family Update

Brent and I met in our Institute class at SUU in February 2004. We started dating a month later. On July 5 Brent asked me to marry him at his parents town home in Cedar City. His sister Stephanie and her husband Matt, and my twin sister Cheryl and her husband Tony and their son Ethan were there. Afterwords he took me up cedar mountain were we had sparkling water (I don't recommend it) and kicks with chocolate peanut butter. On September 18, 2004 we were married in the St. George Temple. About a year later we moved to Henderson, NV. Brent was pre-dental and applying for dental school. While living in Henderson Brent worked for a sleep lab and I worked as a Hygiene assistant. After 9 months we decided to move back to Cedar so that Brent could get his MBA. We later found out that I was pregnant with our first Child. Erica was born on January 5, 2007. After Brent graduated with his MBA in May 2008 we moved to Richfield, UT were he got a Loan Officer position with State Bank of Southern Utah. In June we were surprised to find out we were going to add to our family. Jackson Brent Davis was born on February 2, 2009. We have lived here in Richfield for almost a year and are loving it here. We are also in the process of buying our first home. On April 15, 2009 we moved into our new home. We love having our own home. Its so nice to have a place of your own. Our ward was so welcoming. Brent was called as the Young Men's President, and I was called to be the pianist in the primary. Erica also loves the nursery. Its all she talks about while we are in sacrament meeting. March 2010, I was just released from the primary pianist and put in the Relief Society as the pianist. I'm a little nervous, and sad. I really loved being in the primary. We have some really big news. towards the end of April this year (2010) we found out that we are expecting our third child. We are very excited and also scared to death. The baby is due on December 4, 2010. Derek Charles Davis (Charles for His Grandpa Davis, Brent's dad) was born on November 19, 2010. His was 7lbs 11oz and very healthy. Brent also received a promotion with State Bank. We will most likely be moving back to Cedar area before Christmas (2010) this year. We are buying a new home in Enoch that is in a new area with lots of young families and a well attended ward. We are really excited and also sad to leave all the really great people we have become friends with here in Richfield. Dec. 31st 2010 was moving day. We moved everything in one load thank goodness. Some Elders from our new ward and family helped move us in. Brent and I are home sick for Richfield. Erica and Jackson are adjusting great and love their new home and are love sharing a room together. They are doing surprisingly well. Spring 2011: Brent was called to be the second counselor in the YM presidency. He is also the scout master. It looks like it's going to be a lot of work. I was also called to lead the music in Relief Society. I was also called to be chairman for our ward for the stake "Reflections of Beauty" that was on June 3oth 2011. Well a lot has happened in a year. Brent is no longer in the YM's pres or the scout master. He is now the Young Mens advisor for the priests and loves it. I was called to be the assistant wolves den leader March 2012. It has been very fun to see what I will be looking forward too when my boys are that age. Last fall we got our lawn put in in the back yard. It has been so nice to have a backyard. The kids love it and so do we. Erica just finished Preschool and will be attending Enoch Elementary this fall. She also finish off her first year of dance. Jackson had a big year. In Feb. 2012 he finish Early Intervention and moved over to Three Peaks Preschool. He goes Monday's and Wed. mornings. The bus come and picks him up and brings him home. He has loved his new "Lighting McQueen Preschool" (there was a sticker of Lighting McQueen that he saw when he first visited the school). Derek is now 18 Months and has learned to climb on everything he can and learned to say Moon today June 2, 2012. May 2013: Erica just finished Kindergarten. Jackson is doing so well with his speech that he no longer qualifies for speech therapy. Derek has been in Early Intervention for speech also for the last 6 months. He will start going to the Early intervention class in June. We are expecting a new baby in November. The baby is due November 24, 2013. I'm expecting it to come at 38 weeks like the other three. That puts the date around November 10th. I think I will die if the baby goes over 38 weeks. Chase Kenney Davis was born on November 11, 2013. He was 2 weeks early and was 9lbs 5oz. I'm so glad that he came early. We are so glad to add another boy to our family.
