Naked Boy!

This is an older picture, but I wanted to get something posted. Devin doesn't like to wear his diaper all that much, so once in a while I will find him naked. He has been putting on clothes and taking them off as well. One hot day I put him in his crib in just his diaper and when I went to get him he was naked! Luckily he peed prior to the diaper removal. I have found diapers in his toy box and on his book shelf with the clean ones. Also, sometimes I can't find them at all, think they actually make it in the garbage! Oh the joys- I Love it!

I'm officially an adult!

Now that I have my 2 weeks notice in every where I can share my secret... I have accepted a Full- Time position at Sioux Falls #3 Hy-Vee Store as a 2nd assistant manager! I couldn't be more excited for this opportunity. My first day there will be August 31st. If everything goes as planned I will be moved up to Sioux Falls on August 24th. Mom is flying in to help me the 25th!

Sioux Falls #3 is the newest and the largest Hy-vee store in Sioux Falls with over 600 employees, THAT'S HUGE! To put that into perspective the warehouse has somewhere between 300 and 350 employees! I'm going to start out learning to check, then customer service and hitting other departments in the store. Then I will perform the duties of the position, which is mostly back room management. I'll keep you all posted as things occur.

Bye Bye tongue ring :(

Yes, I know, I need to blog more often! I like to post photos, but since I don't have a camera I don't really think of blogging. Plus it feels as if all I have been doing the past few weeks is working, which is good, but exhausting.

Lynnette and I were able to spend some time together a few weeks ago. She came to Vermillion to meet up with some of her old friends from school. I know that I had a great time, Renee and Tara always have great stories to tell! This was a picture taken of us at the very end of the night.

Time with Isabelle!

A couple of weeks ago Devin and I spent two days with Kristina and Isabelle. Kristina's Cousin Jason and his friend Shaun were in town and Tommy and Katie came over as well. Devin was a little cranky from his ears and teeth, but over all I think he had a lot of fun. At night we went to the ball field and I kept Devin and Isabelle entertained while others did some hitting and fielding. Devin gets really jealous of Isabelle; Every time I went to pick her up or pay attention to her Devin would get angry and wanted his mommy. At one point in time the two of them had me on the ground physically fighting over me. Both were holding me as tight as they possibly could. I ended up with a bruised cheek bone! Those two are strong, I felt like I was suffocating and could not get them off!

For the most part they got along, but they had their moments. Of course they fought over almost everything. How do you teach a 18 month old how to share?

Everyone was amazed at how much Devin could eat. He had three servings of Kristina's amazing lasagna. It was a fun little vacation to Marcus, IA. Oh yeah, and Shaun gave me a free tattoo while Jason and Kristina cooked for us! Thanks a guys for everything!

Omaha Zoo

A few weeks ago, at last minute, we decided to take the kids to the Omaha Zoo. (Ginnia, David, Kristina and I took the kids Xzavier, Kalexus, Isabelle and Devin.)

Over all our day at the zoo went really well, all of the kids were well behaved, they seemed very interested in the animals and watched them attentively at each exhibit. Devin's favorite place was the aquarium. He enjoyed watching all the fish swim and would follow them as they went by.

Thanks Kim for the slide show website that I stole from your page, what a good idea, and it was easy too! There is one picture that was thrown in there on accident that was not at the zoo, but I don't feel like changing it.

CONGRATULATIONS BECCA AND ROYD!
