Spring Break

The kids are on Spring Break and Jim and I took off a week to spend time with them. We like to go to Museums and that sort of thing. Today we went to Ronald Reagan's Library and Museum. We got to go on Air Force one, it was the actual one that Ronald Reagan used during his presidency. It was really interesting to find out about his life and all he did. Our official Air Force One picture!

Salesman of the Year

Jim had to go to a company sponsored event last night. He was awarded " Sales Representative of the Year", after being employed by Kraft/Nabisco for only two years. We are so proud of him, he worked real hard to make his numbers. He hit his numbers 10 months out 12. (one of those months we blame on someone who took over for one of his vacations). He got to go one stage and shake all the big wigs hands. He did not have to give a speech, which he was thankful for!!Jim and his trophey
The trophey!!

"DAVIS CHRISTMAS"

Mom and Dad came out last week and made the rounds. They stayed with us on Wednesday night. They came a day early to see Kaycee play in one of her High School Soccer games... but it got rained out. Dad was disappointed that he didn't get to see her play. They then went and stayed at one of their good friends house on Thursday night. They went to Sandon and Laura's house on Friday night. We celebrated our family Christmas on Saturday morning at Sandon's. We all opened presents, ate too much food and just enjoyed the day!! Mom and dad went and stayed at Paula's on Saturday and at Terri's on Sunday. (I bet they were exhausted!). Here are some random photos of our Christmas. I always forget to take the pictures so this is all I got. Jim and Me

Halloween

Wht do you do if you are too old to go trick or treating, and Mom says your not old enough to go to a halloween party? You decorate the garage like a haunted house!!! Matt, Kaycee and her friend Katie decorated our garage using old drapes and fake blood. They had a fog machine with scary music playing, a strobe light, and then they would jump out and scare people.

" Stupidity at it's finest"

Well it all started with a visit to the vet. Usually one of the kids will go with me to take the pets to the vet, but on this one day Matt was staying after school for tutoring and Kaycee was at soccer practice. So I decided to attempt to take our 50 pound puppy to get his stitches removed.(We had him fixed a couple weeks ago) the only problem is we have the most frightened puppy in the world. In the backyard he is ferocious but try to get him in the car and take him anywhere and he turns into a big chicken, this is where the fun begins. He almost always throws up in the car and on this day he did. Well I got him to the vet and the stitches were removed, I took him out to the car and had to force him in. I finally got him in leaving my purse and cell phone inside, as I was walking around the back of the car my sandal got stuck in the buckled pavement and I went down like a ton of bricks. I saw my ankle roll and thought it was broken. Now I wasn't as worried about the ankle as much as I was about "Who Saw Me Fall" then reality set in and I noticed nobody was around. With my cell in the car what could I do. I managed to make it to the car, and since it was my left foot I decided to try and get home. By this time my ankle was the size of a grapefruit. I called Jim and told him to go get Kaycee because we needed to go to the emergency room. Well it turned out it wasn't broken just badly sprained. They took me out of work for five days, wrapped my ankle, gave me crutches and some good meds and sent me home. So here are some pictures notice the nice pedicure (ha ha) and the scraped up knee. I usually have ankle bones but I can't seem to find them through all the swelling.

"Our Redneck Weekend"

On Sunday we went to the California Speedway for our annual redneck weekend. Jim and I have had season tickets for about 10 years. We have four seats, Paula and Scott used to use two of the seats, but when they opted out we kept the four and decided we would take the kids. This race was a little boring. We had a great time anyway, the weather wasn't too hot which was a plus!!! For a couple of years it was almost too hot to sit in the stands, and torture for the kids. We even made it out of the parking lot in record time. (We finally figured out that if you park closest to the street instead of closest to the track, you get out faster). Jim getting all geared up
