Cuteness is not enough. There must be cake!: The Davis Clan

I want to begin by saying that I believe in miracles. I believe that prayers can and do get answered. I believe that Heavenly Father is aware of each and every one of us and knows our needs. I believe his hand is very much in our lives. I don't just believe these things, I know it!! I've seen it!! I've lived it!!

Celebrate good times!!

You see, things for my three children have been pretty hard since June of 2012. I love roller coasters but certainly not the emotional roller coaster that we were on. It's a hard thing when someone who should have their best interests at heart doesn't, and when they can't protect them from someone who is toxic and harming them.

On March 9, 2015 me, Nathan, and my three children went before a judge and Nathan legally adopted them as his own. It was a miracle. The events that led up to this are unequivocal proof of that and I bear witness of it. This is not the forum or place to go into detail; what has been written is sufficient and as the adoption is a joyous and grand occasion, it wouldn't do well to hash out the events leading up to it.

In the courtroom with the judge!! It's official we're all Davis' now!!

To celebrate this momentous occasion, we thought it would be awesome as a family to go down to Davis Blvd. and have some family pictures taken. I broke out my painting skills and painted the D for Davis to be in all of our pictures. Here's a fun game, can anyone guess the T-shirt color scheme?

We took this one in our house before heading down to Davis Blvd.

Being silly in the back yard.

My three kids are officially Davis' now!!

And, of course, it wouldn't be a momentous occasion without a grand party full of family, friends, and fun. When we sat down to figure out a good date for the party, the only date that worked was April 18th. To most of you this date might not have significance but it does for me and I think it was just another little blessing from heaven. Three years ago my hero, my grandpa passed away on April 18th. Deem loved kids and I know he was there at the party celebrating with us. It was a very special day.
