Pay It Forward

This is such a fun idea! I saw it on both Libby and then Taraleigh's blogs, and just tonight Libby made some adorable necklaces for us, Mariah included. Thanks again Libby - leave me a comment so I can return the favor =) Okay, here's the deal:

The first five people to comment on this post will get something made by me!!! My choice, especially for you. This offer does have a few restrictions and limitations:

1. I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!
2. What I create will be just for you.
3. It will be done this year. You may have to be patient.
4. You will have no clue what it's going to be. It may be a story. It may be poetry or maybe even some creation I haven't invented yet. I may draw or paint something. {now that might be interesting.} I may bake you something and mail it to you. I may even sew something for you. Who knows? Not you, that's for sure!
5. I reserve the right to do something extremely strange. Oh, in case you didn't catch the whole 'pay it forward' idea: the goal is that you do something similar, and pass on the goodness. You could re-post this on your blog and offer the same to the first 5 people who comment, or just do 5 random good deeds... whatever it is- Pay it forward:)

My Dancing Queen

We were at a friends' wedding this past weekend. Mariah is friends with some of the girls and she had so much fun playing and playing. I hardly even saw her for three days. During the music at the reception, I looked up to check on Mariah who was playing in the play house and this is what I saw... Luckily our friend was videotaping everything and was able to catch it on tape. Where did she learn to dance like that? I blame it on Kaniesha.

It's Official...

We're moving to...

beautiful Tennessee!

If you haven't been there before, it's absolutely gorgeous. It's green year round and green is an understatement... the landscape is bright, full and colorful and the sky is incredibly blue. We're moving to Johnson City, home of East Tennessee State University where Josh will be attending. They have a great physical therapy program at their medical school that he will be participating in the next few years.

We are very excited about the new changes ahead of us, but so sad to be leaving my family and our friends. We've created so many great memories here... I don't even like to think about it. But it's starting to seem more real each day that goes by. Especially as we're packing up our house.

We're having a going away party this Saturday at Taraleigh's house - and we're finally going to celebrate Robbie's birthday too, poor kid. At least he doesn't know that we missed his birthday right? Everyone that can come is welcome - just email me or call me for details... mrsdavidson17@yahoo.com.

Lucky for us though, technology enables us to keep in great contact with email, blogs and facebook =) So keep in touch!

It's been a while...

since I've put anything on here hasn't it? Things have just been kinda crazy...
We have been staying up at my parents ever since we got back from Tennesee - so that means that I've been living out of a suitcase and haven't been 'home' for over a month.
On the up side, I've been really busy with my photography business. In the past two weeks I've shot an engagement session, a quinceanera, I'm doing a family session this week and I have a wedding the week after next! Just that is keeping me very busy - on top of every day life of course...

Here's a couple pictures to remind everyone what we look like... I got the kids a pool to swim in and they LOVE it! I think my kids were fish in another life. I've been working on my tan so that's been nice too - but being in a bathing suit is not. Talk about a reality check.

We miss everyone back in Turlock town. I feel like everyone probably thinks I died. Well I didn't... but the sad news is that we are moving! We will be back down sometime soon and in fact Robbie will be down for a few days while I'm in Tennessee, so at least you'll be able to see him. We miss everyone and can't wait to see you sometime soon! Maybe we'll have a big bash for Robbie's second birthday which is THIS Sunday! I can't believe it...
