Last post as a family of 4!

I decided to update one more time before baby Davis arrives tomorrow and life is officially CRAZY! The boys are so excited for Davis to join the family that they often go to the front door to see if he is there!



Our last boat ride as a family of 4!


 My newest nephew Asher! He is such a cutie pie! Congrats to Whitney, Ali, and Emerson!


 William LOVES the pool!
 This teddy bear was given to me by dad when I was a little girl...William loves it now! Just so you know...the bear's name is Freddy! :)
 We took the boys to the Wilson County Fair--the highlight for Charlie was the petting zoo and riding Pete the Pony...and William loved riding the motorcycles and cars again..and again.. and again!:)







 Popper and William..trying to figure out what to do next with the yard...
 Starting Charlie on some good Tennessee Football history...

  William and his star he made at Mothers Day Out...


 We took Charlie down to Vanderbilt and had to get an EMG done..this is where they test his muscles and nerve conduction. It was not a fun afternoon, but Charlie did awesome and was super brave. The results came back really good too! 



 William at his first day of Mothers Day Out...

 William using my belly as an armrest...it almost gave me a complex!
 Ash was trying to give William a golf lesson, but William soon was over the lesson and just wanted to throw the golf balls!
 The Discovery Center in Murfressboro..




 OK...a couple things to explain here...this is the Tornado Alley. A simulation that supposedly has 78 mph winds when you pay $2 and close the door. William was all for it until it started...I know it seems mean but I could not stop laughing and taking pictures. His shirt his wet from the water tower he was playing in earlier! He was all smiles a few minutes later at Chick-Fil-A...just for the record.
So next time I post, there will be a 3rd Clayton boy! We are so excited to love and hold our little Stephen Davis!!! My posts may start coming at 3 am when I am awake! :)

Catch up....


Well hello there! So sorry for the lapse in posts! Things have been a little busy around here, but I am gonna throw up so many pictures that the 2 or 3 people who actually read this should feel somewhat caught up! And of course due to my pregnancy brain, these pictures are in reverse order! This 3rd baby is destroying the last third of my brain I think...anyway... we start with Charlie's first day of preschool! He loves being back with his friends and teachers. This is going to be a big year for Charlie! He is officially off the bottle, taking some sips of water from a cup, and actually trying to eat a little bit! Ash and I are so proud of him!





We took the boys to the drive in movie  in Watertown to see the movie "Turbo"...



 My bestie from ACU--the one and only Leslie Mayo--came to visit a couple of weekends ago...I needed some "Leslie Time" badly and so lots of good food, hours of talking, and some good movies--we are feeling much better!

Cool pic Leslie took of Charlie noticing his shadow...


 Randy, Kim, Palmer and Lainey Hope came through town for a few days..my boys just adore Palmer and LH! 




 This one...my goodness...I still can't believe Palmer is almost 11 years old! He is the sweetest, smartest, and most hilarious kid I know! Also he is an actor! Look up the latest "Pure Michigan" commercial and you will see this guy twice!!

 So glad I got this moment of Charlie welcoming daddy home!






 The boys helped pick vegetables and fruit in Mr. Ken's garden...


 At the Discovery Center in Murfressboro...


 William got a hold of my phone and took a couple of "selfies"...


 I love this one...the donuts are talking to William. 


Earlier in June we got to visit with Trav, Kelly, Bennett, Jackson, and Reagan! Such fun memories! Love these kids!


 Charlie's 4th birthday...











These faces....




We went to the zoo...everyone survived..barely!



Ash and I went to Boston to see a Dave Matthews concert...super fun weekend! I think we are officially the "old people" now at concerts...whatever. It was an awesome weekend and the city of Boston was so beautiful and the people were so friendly!











 Charlie's teachers at school...this was from his last day of school in May. Also we got photobombed by Lexie..







At the Sounds game...





 Destin, Fl  vacation with Ashley's family in May was a great week! The weather was perfect and so the kids loved the beach...well...Charlie didn't just love the sand :)





William and Hali were big buds!





See? He wasn't too fond of the sand...

 Emerson and William... both about to be big brothers soon!


























24 days and counting till we meet this little man!!!!! So excited!
