R is for Remembering

All journeys have their storms. Lately I have been forced to remember the longest, most severe strom of my life. The memories come daily, but lately they have been more frequent and more vivid. October first brought back an anxious, nervous feeling hemmed with tears. By the end of the day, I had realized that October first was the first day of basketball practice. (The first day to "bounce a ball!" ) Then came the Lawton Mac football game, OSU vs. Texas, and the day Dad met Jesus. Football homecoming and entering a crowded gym came soon after.
They were all clouded with sadness, yet I always found funny memories, embarassing stories and new tales told by friends to soften the time. My baby girl will be 1 on Tuesday. She is a constant reminder of God's promise of something better to come. In my mom's words..a rainbow!
This is a poem I wrote in May.

I miss your smile,
Your hello,
All the places we would go…
The gym,
The lake
The High School games,
Nothing will ever be the same.

I miss your voice
Your dialect,
The way you’d flaunt your intellect!
Stories
Poems
Funny sayings
I even miss Dylan playing!

I miss your heart,
You really cared….
The way that you were always there.
Advice
I’m proud
A hug goodnight
To live forever would be alright.

I miss your laugh
And heavy sigh.
I refuse to say good bye!
Miss you
Love you
Is what I’ll say
We’ll be together in heaven someday!

O is For OKLAHOMA STATE!

We met family in Stillwater for OSU Homecoming aka Walking Around! My Aunt Tracy and Uncle Terry opened up their home and so did Uncle Ryan. We spent Friday night "walking around" looking at the House Decs. We even were able to meet Pistol Pete!

Saturday us girls went shopping and then went to tailgate! Bray loved the Spirit Walk and Dusty loved the game! He and Reece had the best seats!

L is for Long time -no post!

Ok...so it has been a long time since my last post and so much has happened in the Davis house! October began with Happy Birthday Donuts for NeeNee. Bray still thinks she was slided becasue she didn't get a cake. We took an awesome trip to OSU, twice! Dusty and I now have Pistol Pete and Zac Attack for a son! Bulldog Homecoming and Halloween graced us on the same night. It is a good thing Bray LOVES football. We were blessed to host the O-Line every Thursday night for Spaghetti. Katie Beth started walking -kind of- somewhere along the way. We stayed very busy and tons of fun!

M is for Mama!!

Finally!!! Katie Beth has been building her vocabulary for a few months now. As a reading teacher, I should be thrilled, but I wasn't. No siree! Not until this weekend. She added Mama to her repertoire :) No, it is not just babble. When I went to pick her up from Lana's today she reached up and shouted MAMA! Oh the joys of motherhood!

P is for Party!

P is for party and that is just what the Davis family did Saturday! Our special Boo had a birthday and we had to celebrate....Ninja Turtle style! bray has been planning the party since the end of his birthday celebration in August. He was determined that Boo wanted, needed and would get a Ninja Turtle party. So, we invited guests. Ordered the cake. And....Bray delivered the pizza in his brand new Ninja Turtle costume (Raphel to be exact). "Surprise 'livery -Boo! Let's Party Dudes!" We had so much fun. Happy Birthday Boo!

G is for Grandparents

With all the excitement of our first football game Friday night, I completely forgot about Grandparents Day on Sunday. Never fear...Super Bray came to the rescue. As we were leaving church Sunday night, Bray gave Boo a present better than I could have picked out from the store. We were trying to get loaded into the car and Bray was begging to go with Boo, as usual! He asked her to take a ride with us. Then he asked her to take a ride in her car to our house. In a last ditch effort to get his way he said, " Boo, can I just stay with you until I get big as you?" I'm sure it is not the last time my kids will want to go live with grandparents. I'm just glad the first time was so funny I cuold laugh instead of cry!

F is for Football!

WAHOO! It is football season again! That means chaos around the Davis house and we love it! Bray gets so excited. He can't wait until the day he can go to practice with Dad. This year is extra special because Uncle Reece is playing. He was released today, after knee surgery. Just in time....season opens Friday night in Vernon, Tx.

Good Luck Bulldogs! Go O-LINE! We love 52!!!
