Welcome to the World Hunter

On April 26th our little cousin Hunter was born. Hunter's father is my first cousin Tom. You might remember seeing wedding pictures from Tom and Erin's wedding a few years ago. The whole family has been anticipating this birth because not only is he the first boy since Tom was born but also the first grandchild and great-grandchild. He is named after my grandfather Hunter who passed away over 12 years ago. Hunter was like a father to me and extremely special to everyone in our family. I cannot wait until little Hunter is old enough to learn about his wonderful great-grandfather. Thanks to proud Aunt Margaret for sending me these pictures so I could share them with everyone. Please continue to pray for Tom and Erin as they adjust to adding another member to their family. He certainly is a blessing!

The proud Papa! I can't explain how strange this is for me to see Tom with his first child!

He has no idea how spoiled he is going to be by this grandmother!

Excited to be an aunt

Love this one

So sweet!

Ryann Turns 3

This year we got to help Ryann celebrate her birthday in Knoxville. We played horseshoes, cooked out burgers, ate cake and of course spoiled Ryann. I love living close to family!

She got a "big girl bed!" (It should be noted that Ryann now sleeps in the same size bed as Clint and me!)

More March happenings

Spring is here and after a cold, snowy winter we couldn't be more thankful! Happenings at the Davis household have been pretty routine. We finally got around to painting the bathroom next to our bedroom. It is a beautiful light blue and looks great. I'll have to post pictures of that soon. We also have started working outside a bit to try to get keep up with our neighbors manicured lawns and gardens. We moved our swing into the yard and created a patio area with a love seat, 2 chairs and table. Clint and I are enjoying sitting there outside after work. We love grilling out and then being able to stay outside to eat. Our dream would be a screened in porch.

We also got to babysit our sweet niece Ryann a few weeks ago. She was staying with Clint's parents for the weekend and they had an event to attend with church. We jumped at the chance to keep her for a few hours. She is the cutest thing and kept asking if we had a "big girl's bed" at our house because she thought she was going to be spending the night. When dinner time came around, she inquired if we had a "big girl's cup" for her drink. Too cute! We can't wait to have her back soon!

She wanted her toenails painted like Aunt Missy.

Another fun Birthday Celebration

This past weekend I headed to Rockwood to celebrate my Nanaw's birthday. It was wonderful to be able to spend time with family to celebrate the lady that keeps our family strong!

We could never tell her "real age!"

Drumroll please....

Just a few reminders of how it looked before

You can see the wall color better-we think the buttercream tones really brighten up the room!

We LOVE it!

27 Years

This year for my birthday Clint surprised me with a weekend getaway. Last Friday I was told to pack my bags not knowing where he was taking me. We ended up in Mt. Airy, NC the hometown of Andy Griffith and the inspiration for the town of Mayberry. This place was super cute. He had made reservations for us to stay at a B&B right next to downtown. The place was beautiful, the food was good and the weather was perfect. (A well deserve break from all the snow.) We spent most of Saturday walking around downtown, browsing antique store and watching movies in our room. I couldn't think of a better way to spend a weekend.

On Tuesday (my birthday) Clint and I met his father and grandparents at a local Italian restaurant. Clint continued his tradition of baking me a birthday cake. This year's cake was strawberry with milk chocolate icing. It was delicious!

Thank you to everyone who sent me a card, called or wished me a happy birthday. I had a wonderful day and feel very blessed to be so loved!
