Courtlynn started kindergarten in August of 2011, I cried when I dropped my little baby off. She still seemed to little to start school, she looked at me and said it's ok mom just pick me up after school, she loved it! Kaydrie loves it when her sissy comes home from school, she always lights up with joy and squeals when Court walks though the door.
Then came Halloween of 2011! Courtlynn knew exactly what she was going to be right after the last Halloween. Courtynn was the cutest Strawberry Shortcake ever, Courtlynn told everyone she was the real Strawberry Shortcake cause she had the real red hair. Kaydrie was Custard, Strawberry shortcakes kitty. She was so darn cute in her costume, she had the perfect little waddle, and made such a perfect kitty. We went trick or treating with a few good friends, the girls had a blast, and sure LOVED there candy. So you may think we are crazy but Danny and I also decided to dress up this year. We had a super fun Halloween party! We had fun games for the kids and adults, good food, scary music and lot's of wonderful friends over.
2011 Thanks Giving came! We headed over to the Blackdeer Family's house. It was so much fun, there was all kinds of yummoooooos food. It was fun to try things I had never tried before. My dear friends Amy and Cheryl did such a wonderful job at cooking a lot of the wonderful food. Holidays can be hard, especially when we live so far away from home. So the wonderful thing about being in the military is our military family. Everywhere we go, we always seem to find good friends whom truly care.
Courtlynn had her first dance recital in December, she did the most wonderful job and was the most beautiful ballerina on stage. I loved every minute of watching my Courtie shine on stage!
I love holidays, but I think Christmas is my favorite! I think my husband thinks I go crazy about six months before the big day, hey what can I say I love to shop and I love to give. This was the first Christmas we were able to stay at home. Shhhhhhhhhhhhh, don't tell anyone but I loved it! We stayed in our new jammies all day while we played with our super cool new toys and watched our new movies. Good food, delicious treats, the only thing that would of made it better would have been to see my Idaho Family.
Danny worked on New Years, so we still partied hardy with my friend and her sweet girls. We had a little movie, treats, pinata, fire works and lot's of noise makers. The girls and I wanted Danny and his work buddies to still have a bit of fun while they were working on New Years, so we brought them some goodies and visited our wonderful Daddy.
Mom and Dad Davis came just a few weeks after Christmas. It was so nice to see some family! We sure loved every minute they were here. We went to the Pima Air Museum, the Zoo, the Children's Museum and played oh so much. We sure do have it good when it comes to my girls grandparents. They always seem to love and spoil them rotten.
Happy Birthday to me, I am now on my way to getting old. This year I turned twenty seven along with my beautiful twinner on February 17th, ahhhhhhhhhhhhh someone please stop my birthdays! Happy Birthday to my more than AMAZING DOUBLE ME!!!!!
March 3rd was a happy day! The girls and I loaded up in the car and headed to Phoenix to pick up my fabulous mother. I can't even explain to you the feeling of seeing my sweet babies see there grandparents for the first time in months. I have always been close to my family, every single one of them has a very special place in my heart, it's been extremely hard to live away from them. So we talk lot's and send lot's of packages! Wish I could be there more. We had such a wonderful visit with my mother, she came up for the girls birthday's, we partied more than we had ever partied.
One thing that helped was knowing we would be heading to Idaho in a few weeks. Oh yes we headed to Idaho, and had a more than amazing wonderful time. We packed our bags, loaded up in our new Nissian Altima and took a 18 hour car ride to Idaho. Danny and I tried to make it in one shot, but it didn't happen, I think it is cause we are getting closer to 30. We made it to Idaho! It had almost been a year since the girls and I had gone home, and for Danny it had been a year and a half. So we were so ready to be there. It was so nice to see our family and friends. The girls loved every minute playing with there cousins. We went and visited my adorable, funny aunt Sheri, we shopped, played long hours at grandmas, went to a dinosaur museum, had a few slumber parties, lot's of get together, went to my friend Evelyn's wedding, visited with lot's of family and friends, went swimming and oh so much more. We had a slumber party with the grand kids at Cindy's, it was so much fun! We don't normally let our kids stay up till 2 am, but felt it was a special occasion, and said oh why not. So before you judge, just think of the wonderful memories we have :).Courtlynn decided to put a super small ring around her finger. She came and showed me at 9ish, and I was like oh that's so pretty. She loved it! Then oneish in the am came and her finger was blueish. Well the paramedics came and saved the Stewart Slumber Party! They cut off the ring and headed on there way, 20 minutes later Courtlynn lost her front tooth. It was a very eventful night, one we will never forget. The next day she lost her other front tooth! The toothfairy made a special visit to Idaho and gave Courtlynn a special prize for her two front teeth. Maybe by Christmas she will still be toothless and she can ask Santa for her two front teeth. It was so nice to spend Easter with our family! Good food, fun Easter stuff, I sure have a lot to be thankful for. The one thing I am most grateful for is our Savior Jesus Christ and all he sacrificed so that we could be where we are today. Time flew so fast that we didn't want to go home. So we said our goodbyes again, not sure why we do that? Maybe one of these days we will stop it and stick around. We headed on our long journey back home and decided at the last minute that we were going to do something fun in Vegas. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, bahahaha, just kidding we went to the M&M factory and walked around a bit. We plan on making another visit in the future. We made it home!!!! Courtlynn surely gets first place on being the best trooper in the car, then daddy, then me then our lovely lady Kaydrie. Poor thing just really didn't like sitting in her car seat for eternity. We made it home alive, it's nice to be in our home in our nice warm beds. Now we just need to find a way to pick our house up and move to Idaho.
The girls are doing extremely well! Courtlynn loves school, her fabulous teacher, and friends. She is not a fan of the homework, but is very smart. She is reading and adding and I am so amazed with all she has learned. I am so proud of her and the sweet, adorable, loving, sassy little mama she has become. She is the best sister to her sissy! They love doing everything together, and for the most part, they really get along. Courtlynn is growing into a little lady, but still my baby. She loves to act all big and have chit chats with mom and dad, she loves going to do mommy things, such as shopping and getting her toes, nails and hair done, but then she still loves playing dress up with her sissy. She loves her dolls, barbies and all her toys. My little Courtie is so sweet, geez I just love her so much! If I could stop her from growing I would. Kaydrie my little goobie is growing like a peach, she surly keeps me on my feet, haha that rhymes. Her little mohawk is gone, her hair is getting so long. I still think she is my baby and then I see a new baby and have to run. What ever happened to staying little forever? Kaydrie is at a super fun age! Even when she is being naughty she is so darn funny, it's hard for me to be serious with her. She is so full of life and always has been. She loves getting into my makeup, it's so crazy to me that she knows where it all goes. The lipstick goes on the lips, the eye liner goes on the eyes, ok you get it right? She gets it, and it just blows me away. I have learned again to put things up, you would think I would have learned with Court. She always runs to the pantry and asks for a treat, if you give her something besides chocolate, she throws the biggest fit, bahaha she is so funny! She loves to sing, dance, and play like a crazy woman whom owns the place. She likes to think she is the boss. Kaydrie has a smile that says trouble, and I love it! She loves to pester Courtlynn and our dog Macey, she can never get enough. She loves to tackle Macey, but then loves to get all pretty and wear all the fancy shoes in the house. She is my sweet, trickster, lovable baby and I just love her dearly! My girls are perfect to me, I am so proud of the both of them and love to watch them dance though there years, I am just hoping the dance the choose is not fast, love love love them!
Danny is the best darn daddy and husband anyone could ask for! He loves all three of us girls dearly and would do anything in the world for us. If you saw the way our girls looked at there daddy you would know just how amazing he is. There are times we don't get to see our daddy a lot, but the times we do have are forever worth the wait. Depending on the shift Danny works depends on if the girls get to see him. Sometimes Courtlynn asks if Daddy left on a air plane again. It's hard for her to understand Daddy's shifts. Soon we should be getting our orders to our next base, not going to lie but I am a bit scared. I hope we stay in the states! Whatever happens we will make the best of it. Maybe one day we can live in Germany or some place just as neat. Being in the military has been the best thing for our family. Danny loves his job, he is getting a good education, we have a beautiful family, home and wonderful family and friends. We have a wonderful support group! Life is good! We couldn't be more grateful for all the more than amazing blessings!
