Summer Vacation

I realize that it's been a while, but I wanted to tell you about our summer vacation! The Davis' spent several days in the end of August in Estes Park with Lincoln, Linda, Scott, and Grandma and Grandpa Hauner. We enjoyed the beatiful Rocky Mountain National Park,

went hiking,



rested,


and played in the water and dirt!



It was a great vacation!

Diaper Inspector

Everett decided that he had to inspect his diapersone afternoon. I'm not sure what he was inspecting, but he sure did a good job!

He's a Walking and Talking Maniac!

Everett officially started walking on his own in July 18, 2008. He took 7 steps while at Grandma Linda's house, without holding on to anything. He has been running ever since. Here's a good video of him walking and talking!

Bathtime, Again

Ever since this summer, Everett has been taking baths in the "big boy" bath. Here's a few cute pictures of him.He's also "very good" at brushing his teeth!


Something new Everett has picked up this summer is splahing in the tub. One of his favorite things to do is to splash Mom and Dad in the bathtub!

He's a True Cornhusker!

It is official. Everett is a Cornhusker!


We have recently discovered that although he does not eat a whole lot of adult food, he can eat corn right off of the cob and he LOVES it. Randy's the one who said it..."he's a Cornhusker, alright!"

Swimming

We have a neighborhood pool in our subdivision and with the weather getting pretty hot, we thought we'd cool down at the pool.


Everett seems to like the baby pool where he can walk around holding on to the edge or mom or dad's hands. The larger pool is not Everett's favorite, yet.

Fourth of July

We celebrated Everett's second Independence Day with my Dad's family at my Aunt Irene and Uncle Jerry's house in Chamberlain, South Dakota. They have a very nice home that overlooks Francis Case Lake (Missouri River dammed up). Six of my Dad's seven sisters and their families were there. Everett, unfortunately got a case of the "mommies" and if I was around, he wanted me to be holding him. No one else would do! Luckily, while he was napping, Randy and I got out on the boat and he was fine with Grandma and great-aunts feeding him and taking care of him when I was not around.

My younger cousins shot off some fireworks. Much to our surprise, Everett was not scard of the loud "BOOMS" but rather giggled when the fire crackers went off! See video, below.


Everett had lots of fun with some of my cousins that are young, such as my cousin Chase who lives in California. He was nice enough to push Everett on his fire engine. See video, below.

As you can see, this did not work out so well. The video below displays what seemed to work better for everyone!
