Timless Decade

A decade! What does one say....."I still miss him". Funny thing is that he was a whole lot of work. But it really didn't matter, I still loved him ferociously. Fortunately for me, he knew it, and loved me back. The only thing he ever graduated from was pre-school which he hated, and this earth. I oft times wonder how I would have fared if I had been born with all his problems. Not very well is my obvious thought. He thought after he acted. Ran away from most things, or ran ahead of himself on everything. Unabashedly and unselfishly loved with his whole heart. He could drive you crazy on the one hand and looking the other way make you smile and laugh. It was never ending.....and then one day it did. But our Timmy lives on, much better surroundings and much happier. Without his physical ailments, he can function and serve as he always dreamed about. I am so happy for him, that he can enjoy that freedom every day. Even that shows that I love him beyond measure, because if it were totally up to me I would put up with his daily cheek tweaking, rapping, dancing, fidgeting, anti work, anti chores, anti studying, and full of mischief, and yelling at me for being "psycho". Only things he left behind was a brand new hat, a pair of shoes and his scriptures. I'm glad he read them and had a love for his Savior. My little Ronny, Shironika I miss you and love you and appreciate all you do for us on the other side. Mommy

Timless decade

A decade! What does one say....."I still miss him". Funny thing is that he was a whole lot of work. But it really didn't matter, I still loved him ferociously.

Kait and Chris, rather "Bonnie and Clyde" with a $5 dollar foot long.....

This voodoo witch must have done a number on "Big Jim". His makeup artist only had to paint half of his face, because the other half was real life. Picture Jim hurriedly running to get to bed and tripping face first over the foot stool! It wasn't a pretty picture, but makes for a great Halloween face.

The actual day of Halloween!

Austin redirected his costuming and became a 1978 East High basketball alumni. Some of us remember the "fro" and "short shorts". Grrrrr, he's got the legs!

New Grandkids on the block.....Gracie and Chloe came to the Halloween party incongnito! A "glamourous movie star" and "Snow White". Can you guess who's who????

Halloween 09

I know everyone has missed me! Well, I'm back..... and possibly only temporarily.
Halloween 09, some of my favorite costumes was "Gilly" and "Geilly",(SNL) portrayed by Aubs and Austin. Of course the top pic is of "Kevin" (The Office), portrayed by Jason.

New York, New York

Well this is embarrassing......I wrote this nineish months ago and never posted it. I probably couldn't remember how to upload the pics. Anyway here goes............


All the Davies girls took a va-kay to New York. One of the funniest thing that happened was Meagan falling up the subway steps as she and Aubs were racing. Of course the sign says "Don't Run Up or Down the Stairs!" We visited the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Empire State Building, Rockefeller plaza, Metrop of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, and saw "Phantom". Last but not least we hung out on Canal Street, and bought a few purses. We had a blast, except poor Megan Tod and Kat-dawg got sick. They refused to say "UNcle" and performed every feat we threw them. We met Kathleen, the female carrot actress, Ranger Jim who explained the Statue of Lib to us, D-Lo the mold, asbestos inspector, 2 cops from the Special TV crew unit, a funny doorman, who loved us, even though he never received a tip, a kindly old man who was mostly blind who couldn't find his way home on the subway, Peter a 76 year old Conseirge who still stays in contact with his peeps from years past and almost met Angelina Jolie who was filming a movie down the street.

Austin's B-day

I wish I could put pictures on my blog quickly, because today is Austin's 22 birthday! Happy Birthday Baby-Boy! YOu are an amazing feller and I'm so proud of you. Hope you have a great year with many fun surprises! Love you, Mommee

Bachelor for Life at the rate he's going.......

Okay, I want to know.....What the heck? Molly over Melissa? Come on! what are your thoughts America?

I'm on the 29th mile as of today! Whoppee!
And what did you think of the Bachelor? Mike grumbled the whole way through waiting to see DeAnna come back. Okay, so here's his pick "DeAnna". Don't let him tell you different next week. My pick is Melissa. Luke has yet to view the show and pick his, but I know his money is probably on Melissa too! That's been his fav since day one. So let me know....you only have a week to decide.

I'm back on top! Just a little mucus to hock up and determination, and I'm back walking. Today I walked 4 miles straight. It was a very big day for me! I am just so proud of myself. Let's see if I will be just as proud tomorrow. My total count is 21.5 miles, or a fifth of the way there.
Weather and a really bad cold/cough has kept me from my walking course, but alas I will not give up. There's still a chance I can make the 100 miles by March 3rd. I am now up to 17.5 miles, which only leaves 82.5 to go! I just know I can do it. Let's see.....that's only 10.3 miles per day. It's a given'.

I refuse to say "Uncle", but I'm exhausted....I'm up to 14.7 miles for this month. One question burns in my mind...."How old am I?" signed the Honk or what's left of her. By the way, does that leave 85.3 miles to go for the month? Do you think I'll make it?

Stirring it up.....

1- Big News in the world of the Davies Clan!!!!Ashley, that right, Ashley, not Justin is engaged. We are all so excited to have our favorite "Nate" in the picture.
2- Mason has agreed to pre-calendarize his wedding date before the proposal, just so I will be there! Now that's a good boy.
3- Jay Starley is a Counselor in the Bishopric of a Single ward at the University. The Bishop happens to be Bishop Monsen (as in you know who).
4- I have actually organized half of my "piles", and we are not talking hemorroids!
5- I actually spoke to a group of people touring the temple. I just don't "DO" public speaking! ahhugg! I survived and frankly I'm proud of myself for facing such fears!
6- I've almost got my valentines done....if only I had my Christmas presents completed for 2008! Oh well, I'm trying.
7-I have completed Penny's birthday present! Yes, that right for last year and because it took so much effort she said I could count it for this birthday also. I painted her bathroom that she had redone with new cabinets and tub. Wheww I am on a role.
8- Now if only Stephanie on "The Bachelor" can find a good man I will be settled. She was very classy on the show. When she got the boot, she didn't swear, or flip the finger to the other girls, just held their hands, they cried for her, and she spoke so well to Jason and the audience as she was leaving in the limo....now that's class!
9- Late add on.....I'm on mile 4.7 of 100. AT least I have started....I thought I better get in shape for the New York trip.....yeah, baby I'm spreading the news!

To Blog or Not to Blog

What do you blog about when you got nothin? My life is so boring all of a sudden. Not much work to do unless you consider me, cleaning my whole house and revamping my boring life, but anyway......All I know is that I have to get the Christmas blogs off the page and stir up a little excitement for the year.
I guess the biggest event so far at the Davies household is Mike turning 55 today. I am so boring that I didn't even take a pic of his party last night. Oh well, there is always my big party of 55 in March!
We could always take a look at the future events and see what happens there.....
Looking forward to:

*Hosting at the Draper temple this week.
*Taking George to the temple.
*Sending my valentines out to family.
*My 55th birthday extravaganza!
*Losing weight.
*Finishing Gina's Christmas present...maybe next Christmas?
*Going to New York with the girls. I can't wait to feel of Meagans' excitement, she almost emoed out at Christmas. She's way overdue for a break! (Of course it would be fun to take Karissa, but...)
*My 35th wedding anniversary in June.
* The trek with Mike's YSA ward. Like I could walk a mile...
*Lake Powell in July.
*Redoing my bedroom....whoa....way overdue!
*Selling our flip house....anyone interested in buying, during this economy?
*Kaitlyn studying abroad, and getting those 3 a.m. phone calls, long distance, about how she is dying from cramps.....
