Cubbies
This year in Awana's, Andrew has graduated from being a "Puggle" to being a "Cubbie". He has memory verses each week and fun stories to go along with them. Check out the big boy in his Cubbies vest! :)

Alyssa's Nursery Curtains
So the awesome seamstress that I found through the local Craft Gallery totally flaked on me and went MIA. This wouldn't be such an issue BUT since we're about 6 weeks from "D-DAY" - I'm getting a little antsy about getting her nursery finished...
I decided I'd buckle down and give making the curtains and bed skirt a whirl on my own. I figured you don't really use the crib blanket anyways since the little toots like to drool, poop and commit other bodily function assaults on their crib bedding. And since Andrew was in a crib, I've heard that using the "breathable crib bumper" is the safest way to go. With only having to make those two items, I figure it's going to be totally do-able... :)
So I headed over to Hobby Lobby and found the same fabric I had chosen with the newest person on my "hit list" (j/k... I really don't have one of those! But I'm none too pleased with her or the gallery that insisted I use her...)
And I found some extra "bling" to use on the curtains... so all in all, I think the situation turned out for the best after all! :)
Now I need to finish painting her furniture and making the crib skirt!!! :)

Faith Rest Ranch
On Sept 11th, Andrew attended the 4th birthday party for his good friend. The party was held out at a neat ranch right outside of Crawford called "Faith Rest Ranch". All the kids had such a blast and I think I might steal the location for one of Andrew's future birthday parties! :)
Andrew and buds making silly faces!
He decided to step it up a size!
I think he secretly wants to join the Blue Man Group!

31 Weeks
I'm a few weeks behind in posting so I'm playing catch up and trying to do so chronologically...
So here is my 31 week belly shot. I'm now at 33 weeks....so I've grown significantly but trying to get caught up to 33 weeks...
And to think in this picture my belly looks "tiny"...haha! :)

Davlin Family Reunion - 2010
Over Labor Day weekend, we traveled to Searcy, Arkansas for the Davlin Family Reunion. This year we held it at TD and Melissa's house (David's brother and his wife). We had a great turnout and it was wonderful to be with family.
Both my boys played hard (as did most of the kids!). There was fishing, riding around and just good old fashioned fun in the pool and lake.
Below are some random pictures from the weekend...
Fishing with his Aunt Liz & Cousin Diana... David was nominated as the official "bait and unhook guy" this round... he kept everyone fishing! (And the girls were soooo glad they didn't have to mess with the worms or fish!) :)
Riding around in the Ranger with cousins Blake & Addison, and Uncle J and "Aunt Taboo"...
Going fishing with Daddy & cousin Blake...
Being silly with his cousin Blake in the Ranger...
Still clowning around...
Fishing while watching his cousins Grace & Blake throwing rocks into the lake...
Hanging out fishing...(note the Aggie chair from Nanann & Ray!)
We had a great time and have never seen Andrew have so much fun running and playing hard.... it was such a wonderful treat!

Random Photos in August
It seems as though days are passing faster than we can keep up. August seem to fly by faster than I expected considering the number of 100+ degree days that we had.
But all in all, as one can expect, the Davlin household had some funny times that needed to be captured on camera...
I'm not sure what was happening here other than Andrew felt like running around in his Spiderman goggles and carrying the wand he made at Sunday School that morning... you have to love 3 year olds and their sense of imagination and fun!
Below is a pic of the boys clowning around. I had a training seminar for Prevent Child Abuse Texas one Saturday, and the boys played "dress up".
....and their fun continued...Andrew likes to dig through David's old Halloween costumes and myriad of gag things...of COURSE he's going to like the ghetto-fied Bubba Teeth :)

Because I have Skillz
Ok - so my blogs seem to be more about the funny things our kid says rather than pictures but I can't help it. I have to "jot" down the sayings before I forget AND something about this pregnancy just leaves me whipped. So while it seems rather weak of me... taking a picture, downloading it and then uploading it to the blog just seems a bit trying some times... so anyways... I digress...
This past Friday some of our dearest friends, Dianne & Ray Scott, came by to say 'good-bye' or as I prefer, 'see you later'. To anyone who knows us or Andrew knows them as "Nanann & Ray". The Scott's have been such dear friends to us and so loving to our son. We refer to them as his "Adopted Grandparents" due to their close proximity and the stretches of time Andrew has been able to play & hang out with them. They have shown him so much love and we'll never be able to express our gratitude for their caring hearts & attitudes towards Andrew or us.
The Scott's were on their way to South Carolina where they'll be for roughly 1 year and then they go to Saudi Arabia for 3 years with Ray's company, Alcoa. They wanted to bring Andrew an Aggie Bear that says "I love you" on it to remind Andrew of them and of course to give hugs :)
While they were at our house, Andrew wanted to ride his tricycle around for them. Now granted, he has his big boy bike with training wheels which he has been riding for months. But he still enjoys riding the tricycle - mainly because there are no brakes. Our son has learned how to skid the top of his tennis shoes under the back wheels to make the tricycle stop. And of course, he just got some nice, new, WHITE leather DC tennis shoes. They are now scuffed so much on the tops they look gray.. but oh well...
So we're watching Andrew repeat this "trick" over and over for his Nanann. She asked us if we had taught him that - we hadn't. She finally asked him, "How did you figure out that you could make yourself stop like that?" To which Andrew replied in a matter of fact tone, "Because I have Skillz."
That boy is something else! :)
