About

My name is Natalie Davis. I grew up in Utah however my family wasn't really what you would call "outdoorsy" apart from our annual camping trip and occasional visits to national parks we never really embraced how awesome Utah is.

As an adult my husband and I moved to Hawaii. Once there we really began to change and became big time beach bums. We lived there for 7 years and rarely went a day with out a beach run a surf session or a visit to our local skate park. We have two kids and they became very accustomed to running around a beach catching crabs, skinny dipping, playing in the ocean and climbing trees.

When it came time to move back to Utah I had sincere anxiety about things like wearing shoes, not feeling the ocean breeze and being cooped up and cold.  My husband and I decided that we needed to fully embrace Utah in all of its splendor. So at the age of 27 we taught ourselves to ski, started mountain biking and spend a lot of time at the lake. We still frequent the local skate parks and often find ourselves on surf trips. The mountains have become my new favorite place to be and have taken root right next to the ocean in my heart.

It has become a passion of mine to make sure that my children are raised to love the great outdoors. Children these days are surrounded by so much technology that I'm afraid they will never want to go out and feel the FRESH AIR. My kids are quite wild at heart so an adventureous lifestyle seems to suite them.

I feel that our entire family functions better and is happier when we have our daily dose of fresh air and vitamin C.  Join us on our quest for fresh air and share your adventures with us.

Hawaii Christmas

Image
Mark and I had a great christmas break here in Hawaii! We where sad that we didn't get to go home but decided to make the best of it and treat it like a vacation. So we both got a week off of work so we could live it up and do all the fun things we hadn't had a chance to do yet! We kicked it off with a fun day at Pearl Harbor! I have always wanted to go and it did not dissapoint. We loved learning about what happened there. The Arizona Memorial was cool to see, we could still see the oil in the water. After Pearl Harbor we spent the night in Waikiki hot tubing and having a blast! Mark surfed pipeline for the first time. He was so excited to be surfing on these big waves, and it quickly became his new favorite surf spot. He made me a little nervous dropping in on 5 foot waves, but I am proud of him for being so passionate about surfing, and for picking it up so quickly1! We had dinner at our favorite restaurant Kahuku Grill.  We did a beautiful hike ...

Family Pics

Over the summer Marks family got family pictures taken. I wasn't super pumped about it at first  because I was 32 weeks pregnant but they actually turned out really cute. She also did a few maternity shots  of Mark and I.  I was not to sure about them at first but they turned out really cute.  Now for a pregnancy update I am 37 weeks pregnant today I have  a doctors appointment tomorrow and I am hoping I have started to progress in the right direction to get this baby out of me. Now for a life update this last weekend was a crazy one in the Davis household. First, Mark had his first game as a college coach, he was very nervous but they came out on top so he got his first win. Second, Mark got a call from the stake president of the Single stake here in Laie last week and was asked if we could meet with him. He asked him to serve as the second counselor in the bishopric. He was very humbled by this we did not exp...

Daxton's Birth

Image
So it is decided I am officially the worlds worst blogger my baby is already almost four months old so I guess that means it is time to put on some updates about him. So I will start with his birth Dax was born after 33 hours of labor and 3 and a half long hours of pushing. They had to use the vacuum on him twice so he came out with quite the cone head. His heart rate also dropped way down so they had to immediately rush him away and resuscitate him. That part was pretty scary I didn't hear him cry for about five minutes. He was a little fighter though and came around pretty quickly. I got to hold him for a couple of minutes before they took him away to the nursery to monitor him. But he did really good Mark got to give him his first bath and I got to go see him in the nursery after I got all cleaned up and nurse him. He did great and took right to it, which I'm so happy about because they had to give him a bottle and a binky before I could nurse him. He spent his first n...
