March

With March winding down here is a little update on a few fun things we did this month!


George Squared
The first part of the month we headed down to St. George with our friends the Georges. We stayed in a lovely home with amazing views of the red rock and Snow Canyon. While the guys played golf it was nice to escape, relax and soak up some sun by going on walks even if it was only for a day or two. It just gave us something to look forward to now that warmer weather is around the corner. Thanks Tawny, Andrew and baby Jack for such a fun time.

Andrew found a R/C boat in the closet and that paired up with a stream running behind the house was a recipe for fun. Pretty sure Jason enjoyed it more than Mo though!

The highlight for Mo was just being able to run around outside without his coat, gloves, a hat or even shoes on! This house really was amazing and a perfect place for Mo to goof around-and as you can see he's pretty good at it.

Go Jazz!

On St. Patrick's Day we were lucky and got tickets to the Jazz game that night. We took a gamble and brought Mo with us and he LOVED it-well everything except the Jazz Bear spraying silly string on our whole row! Our tickets were great and we were close enough Mo really got into it and was able to watch the players and follow the game. He would yell out "Go Jazz" and "Slam Dunk" and was just mesmerized at the whole site of the arena with all the lights and people. On the drive home he kept saying "Mo have fun at the Jazz game" so we are glad we brought him along.

More Golf

All three of us went golfing one Saturday afternoon and had a blast. Jason would hit his shot then drive up and throw a ball out for Mo to hack away at for a bit until it was time to go to the next hole. Probably heaven for both of them! We cracked up that he kept his 'golfing hat' on the entire time. For a 2 year old he's working on a pretty good swing. Between his dad, uncles and grandpas he's got plenty of good form to follow after.

So now March is in the books and we are still counting down the days until our little girl comes to play. We are making the final preparations on her room and all the other little things that come along with a new baby. Lucky for us this pregnancy has been pretty smooth and we can only hope that continues for the remaining months. No doubt we will continue to keep you posted with what we do to occupy our time until then!

February

Think Pink!
So as previously noted the big news for us this month was to find out we are having a baby girl. It still hasn't quite sunk in for either of us that come July it's going to be all about PINK! Jason, having grown up in a house with all boys is especially thinking about what the change will be like! He will gladly welcome any tips!

We thought really hard about a few names and came to a decision with Olivia Jane LeCheminant. With a last name like ours a few we liked just didn't "roll off the tongue" but we really love Olivia. Jane is a shout out to Jason's mom, Jan, who will now be the proud Gram of two LeChem girls within the next few months!
Mo has really started to get on board with the idea of having a baby sister. He will gladly belt out her name for you and we know he is going to be a great brother. He will go to her room and point out everything as "Livi's bed" and "Livi's light" and "Livi's chair".

(Hopefully this one actually works. Sorry to anybody who couldn't see the last video.)

Happy To You Mo!
On the 4th we celebrated Mo's 2nd birthday. Leading up to that day he would walk around the house and sing "Happy to you, Happy to you" and it was a lot of fun to have all the families over for the occasion.

He currently has an obsession (that's an understatement) with horses so it was no surprise most his presents were related to that. The hit of the party was an old spring mounted horse that Mo's uncle Nic found for him. He wasn't sure of it at first but by then end of the night he was riding it like a pro.

Golf...Finally

The last Saturday of the month was just warm enough for the boys to hit the range after a long winter. Check out this guy's form! Probably not the last hours these two will spend with each other on the range.

P.S. Jason is beyond proud of these pictures!!!

Look Alike

Going through the pictures this month Jason saw a few funny resemblances that made us laugh. See what you think!

Can you say Marty McFly?

The Golden Toad or The Golden Bear?

Book Worm

These three pictures are ones we took this month but we have about a dozen just like them. With kids this age when there is an extended period of silence at home any parent's mind goes to the thought that their little one is up to no good, but all the time we will go back in his room and find him there reading so we quickly grab the camera to snap some candid shots.

His favorites right now are The Story of Ferdinand, Caps for Sale, Little Black Sambo, Harry the Dirty Dog, Big Red Barn, The Big Hungry Bear, the illustrated Book of Mormon (he loves "Ne-five") and any book about dinosaurs.

Our Big News!!!

Mo wanted to share our exciting news with all of you!



That's right, a baby SISTER!!! She is due July 17th and we are beyond "excited" for this little Miss to join our family. So far the pregnancy has been great, with no real problems (knock on wood). Stay tuned for more updates!

January

Another month has gone by and it seems like they just keep going faster and faster! Lets hope the next 5-6 go by just as fast! We had such a fun month in January with several things to do and celebrate. Here are the highlights!


Happy New Year!!

This year we went out to Kenzie and Alma's house for food and fun. To our surprise all the little kids fell asleep just fine so we adults could have a good time playing games. We got so caught up in everything we forgot about the "countdown" and turned the TV back on just in time to catch it. It was an enjoyable night and a great way to start off 2010. Thanks Kenz for being such a great hostess!

This is Mo's "concentration face"

Forget pots and pans! The little kids got cool spinning light globes and loved them!

Sledding

New Years Day we all went sledding at a park by JC and Beth's house. It was Mo's first experience and he actually really loved it as long as Jason went with him.

Ready to go!

Back up the hill...

And down again!

Do you think this kid loves his Dad?

Jason's 28th Birthday

What an old man! We celebrated with Root Beer Floats at the LeChem's and Mo did his part to assist Jason in blowing out the candles as well as open presents. We also went to a Jazz game but forgot to take any pictures...oops!

Welcome Home Wyatt!!!

On the 5th we welcomed Wyatt back from his mission in Honduras. He had such an amazing experience down there and we are grateful for his example and faithfulness. At the airport was the first time he ever met Mo so we are glad to have him home so these two red heads can become best buds.

The whole Davis clan back together again!

Happy Birthday Diesel!

Jason's little brother Derek celebrated his 13th birthday this month. At his party he got a surprise visit from BYU's Andrew George! All Diesel's buddies were thrilled to get some football knowledge and and autographed picture from him.

More Sledding...Homemade Edition

After that big snowstorm over the weekend, Jason decided to build Mo is very own sledding hill--well make that a sledding mound. He piled all the snow from our driveway up on the lawn and carved out a path to slide down. It looked more like a mini luge run! Either way Mo loved it and it was just his size.

"Hi Momma"

It was so much fun we had to invite Mo's neighborhood buddy Landon to come down and try it as well!

Well that about sums up our month. February should be another good one with Mo's birthday coming up as well as many other exciting things! We will keep you posted!!!
