Back to the Future...of the Present time

Where have we been?...What hasn't been going on in our lives? Should be the question...For those of you that check our blog (daily, weekly, or even monthly) have been stuck in the past...Fall of last year to be more exact...Well I have been given the task to get everyone "Back to the Future" (Present of now, but the future of the past)... Kaylee and I's style is Vintage, but we try not to be on our blog. So with that being said...we are working on staying in the present time frame...

Here is a list of things that have happened since last Fall ( Might Not be in chronological order):

Yard work

Keith and I have put insane hours in the yard trying to get it looking nice. We recently redid out front beds here is a look.

We took a tip off hgtv about recycling water bottles as filler in your beds. It worked.

Packing

With one day left till kosova the packing is currently in progress!

Happy Fall

Fall is here and time is just flying by in 2011.

Keith is currently in his last semester at Luther Rice Seminary. He will soon have his Bachelor's in Ministy! Yea keithy! I am so proud of him and all his hard work!

I have just been working like crazy and enjoying life.

Above is a picture of our Halloween decorations. Things have been so crazy around here that it took us a while to get everything put up! Our neighbors said they were wondering what was going on.

Since we never posted anything about our CitiKitty adventure you probably know by now that it was not a success. I had to sit with Aslan in the bathroom every night and he was so stubborn he wouldn’t go for like 45 mins. and after 4 weeks of really trying… I told Keith no more!

Right after we put the old litter box up Aslan AND Sadie went pee and poo within 30 minutes! hahah Maybe Citi Kitty would work for others, but we found that since we were gone all day 6 days a week, it was really hard to help train the cats. Keith said he would try it again.. but me… not so much!

I will try to update more over the holidays since we’ve been so bad this year at updates. There just hasn’t been anything new and exciting going on to report.

Wishing you a great one from Good ol’ Porterdale!

Six Flags

A Few Weeks ago Kaylee and I went on a "Day Date" to Six Flags. We took some time out to do one of the many things we love doing together...Riding Roller Coasters. The kids in our area had either gone back to school already or were about to, so we knew it wouldn't be too busy. Here is a Video of our Adventure on the Coasters thanks to our Flip Camera.

Citi Kitty

As many of you know we have two Cats. Sadie (named after the Sadie Hawkins dance where girls ask the guys) which we have had for about 3 years  and Aslan (named after the lion in the Chronicles of Narnia Book series) that we have had for about a year. 

With two Cats it feels like they are either eating or using the bathroom constantly. Kaylee and I are two people that love to try new things... 

One night we were watching shark tank on ABC, where a person comes into a room of investors and sells there product to support them for a percentage of the company. On the episode we watched they had the Citi Kitty "A potty training system for your cats". We have seen something like it a few years ago but the price tag was more than we wanted to spend.. around $80.00 ($80). When we saw Citi Kitty and heard it was only $29.99 we thought we would try it.

If you have never heard of this before just check out the website www.citikitty.com

But short version is having a step by step way of training your cat to actually use the human toilet. 

I know that this may sound a little weird to you (It did for me), but as I researched it, i found that it is actually a more hygienic way of having a indoor cat than a box full of waste from the cats.

We are currently in the beginning stages of the training. We have moved the box closer to the toilet, moved it up a level to get them used to being higher up, and then moving up another level even with the bowl. We are now  on the step of having the box on the seat.

As we progress through these steps we will be of course documenting it for you on our blog. Check back with us to stay up dated on the adventure we have embarked on. As you may be guessing the bathroom or toilet is "out of Service" momentarily due to the training but don't worry we have another that our guests may use during this process. 

Wish us good luck, and we will see you on the other side. Enjoy the "Cat" Themed Songs on our blog as well. Maybe our cats wont be that "smelly cat" any longer. Maybe it will get you in the mood of training your cat.

It's actually a little warm here...

It has been brought to my attention that we have not updated our blog in quite some time. With further investigation I find the last post was when we got snowed in for a few days when the roads froze over. Recently people had been asking how the weather was in Porterdale, I thought nothing of it until I saw the last post. Just to think, if people looked at our blog daily or even monthly they would think it was still cold here...sorry but it's not. It's actually a little warm (hot) here. Life has been busy with me in full time classes (graduating this fall), church (youth and worship leading), weddings (didn't know we had so many friends that were at the stage of marriage, all at once), and all the other awesome things you do when your married. We will try and focus on posting more often. But if we do not for a few weeks please do not go by the weather that we are talking about at the time. God has really blessed us to have people that care about our lives and want to hear "what's new with the Davis'?". There is always something new. God is constantly moving in our lives and are in the process of big plans not just me or Kaylee alone but for us together. More info. To come. We will keep you up to date writing and through pictures along the way. So hold on to your seats, where were going we don't need roads...
