Summer Fun

In between rain showers Devin and I have been getting out of the house this week, not as much as we would like though.  On Monday we went to the pool and to say the least Devin LOVES the water, but we all knew that already.  I wish I would have gotten a picture of him in the water, but I didn't want to risk my phone getting damaged again.  Before we went to the pool we took the short hike up to see the bench that Jim, Dad and Jeannie donated for Grandma and Grandpa.  Devin wouldn't look at the camera for me of course.  Let me just say that the bench gets pretty HOT in the sun so be careful!

This morning Devin and I went to Roosevelt to play on the little playground.  He liked playing on the stairs and even went down the slide a few times with help from me.  I'm not sure what he thought of the slide.  His favorite thing to do at the playground was to bring me little rocks, one or two at a time.  He did this for about a half hour!  I felt bad for throwing the rocks down so I figured I would make something out of them.  I ended up with this flower.  He even brought me the little trig that I used for the stem!  The first flower was better, but he ruined it :(

Tonight I was cleaning out the garage and the basement and he knocked my bike over!  Luckily he ended up in-between the seat and the handle bars, close call!  He started crying, but I think that it just startled him.  He kept messing with the bike and looking at me.  I took this as a sign that he wanted to go for a ride.  So, I put on his little helmet and off we went on a long bike ride.  I'm hoping next week we can get out side a little more, hopefully the rain is about done for the late spring we are having.  

Poor Batman!

Devin received his first fat-lip on Wednesday night.  He was running around the house bouncing off the walls, literally.  Apparently he tripped in our little hallway and put his face into the corner of the doorway (Glad I didn't have to witness it first hand).  He definitely was screaming and bleeding.  I was just thinking the day before that it wasn't going to be long until his first blood injury.  He actually did pretty good, he didn't cry for too long and then he was off running around again in his Bat-man PJ's and cape! 

Time With Emily!

A couple of weeks ago Emily came and spent the night with Devin and I.  I started to try on a few dresses mom brought for me and before I knew it we were all playing dress up- Yes all of us!  Guess that Derek isn't the only lil boy who wheres girl clothes!  Devin's new thing is to get into my shoe draw and put on my heels.  He always goes for my black ones.  He does a really good job of walking in them and keeping them on his feet!

Emily then taught Devin how to scream, I mean really scream!  I'm glad that he didn't remember in the morning!  Hope we can have another slumber party soon!

Karter- Devin's new Cousin!

The bottom picture is a picture of Devin when he was born- Can you believe how much these two look like each other?!  Same cheeks, nose, hairline, eyes!

Just to clear something up; Bryans girlfriend's name is Karissa as well and what's even more ironic is her name is actually Karissa Ann!!

Family, Fun and finally some Sun!

Devin and I have been busy the past few weeks.  We celebrated Emily's Birthday on the 16th- She was 8 years old on Tuesday May 19th!  I can't believe that it has been that long already.  It was nice that The Hillabolts could come and celebrate as well.  

This past week Devin and I took a mini vacation to Des Moines.  The first night we stayed with uncle Lee and hung out with him in the morning when he got off of work.  He is in the middle of fixing up his trailer to sell and looking for a new house.  We watched the NIN concert on his new TV and did some house shopping on the internet.  Devin loved dancing to the music, of course.

The next night Devin and I went to stay with Derek and Sophia.  I watched them both nights, they are such good little kids for me.  

On Friday night Devin and I went and spent the night with Ginnia, Xzavier and Kalexis.  Devin and Kalexis are 6 days apart.  For some reason I didn't get any pictures of them together.  She is the cutest little thing, she is very shy and quiet.  

Saturday was the main event;  Trevor and Tricia's wedding!  It was really great to get everyone together and drink some "kool-aid!"  The kids were a hit on the dance floor and were all very well behaved.  

Congratulations and welcome to the family Tricia Goodburn!

For some reason I took no pictures at all!  I know Kevin has some, hopefully he will share them and then I can get them posted.  The pictures shown here are of course taken by Kevin!  

Devin's Room

Devin finally has a room just for him, fit for a little boy.  Dad and I found and painted letters for Devin's name while we were in Utah and then Ben hung them up in his room.  I think it looks nice, thanks Dad and Ben!  Devin has plenty of room to play and of course plenty of toys to play with.
