Lisa Sue Davis' 33rd celebration of life!

Ahh it seems only yesterday I was at the Bull and Bear flirting with this beautiful girl wondering how I was going to see her again since neither one of us had a phone. Now, that girl is my wife and we have two lovely monsters, a loving home and a wonderful life together. I am so fortunate to have been in that bar, drunk and singing karaoke to Vanilla Ice on that fateful night, what are the odds, really? Slim to none, but somehow my inebriated charm worked and here we are in Alaska! Wow! She does so much for us everyday, we are so lucky to have her. Here are some pics of our amazing mother and wife. Happy Birthday!

a culinary masterpiece to appease Ainsley's Elmo infatuation.

This is a little longer than I thought, but there's a priceless bit with Milo and his new winter slippers. The rest is just xmas mayhem and a couple of shots of Grandma's garments.

Ainsley's Bday pics!

We just had a small, no-frills party for Ainsley at home. She is getting so big, definitely 2 going on 12. Mom made cupcakes and we went swimming at the gym. On her second birthday we witnessed a miracle when Ainsley made her first potty on the toitee, hooray! We bought her an Elmo potty, she used it that very night! How's that for motivation?

Mommy and Ainsley singing happy birthday.

The girls blowing out one of many candles.

AAhhhlaska! So freakin' beautiful here, and it never gets old because it's never the same twice.

Frosty trees from the fog that just moved through. Now it's sunny and -5 degrees.

This is as far up as it gets this time of year. Taken at 12:30pm.

Soo excited to blow out candles.

Birthday kisses.

Daddy you try!

Again! Again! Again! Again! Peezz, peezzy! Again! etc...

Ainsley is 2!

My baby is 2! Ainsley is such a fun little girl. She loves to follow around her big sister Alyvia and do whatever the big kids are doing. She loves helping Mom and does the dishes daily. She loves anything to do with Elmo, and "Abby Dabby". She watches Madagascar whenever she has the chance. She loves to go swimmin' at the "gym's". She loves her cousins and talks about them constantly. She is such a loving, spunky, fun little girl. We love you Ainsley!!!!

This post was realized through the use of brute force, and I liked it!

Here is a bunch of random stuff for you to peruse!
