Movie Night

On the way home from the ball park, Devin drove me crazy. He kept asking if he could watch "Journey to the Center of the Earth" with Summer and Michael

(great friends we are lucky to have as neighbors).

After I said "yes", he was gone......

I walked in the door, and the normally pokey puppy had already changed and was popping "his" bowl of popcorn.

He popped his bowl and told Summer to pop "hers". (Yes, he's bossy, that's why I love Summer, she puts up with my bossy kid with the cutest smile ever - she is the ultimate peace maker.)

Then, Bossy Bulah (aka Devin) made Summer and Michal wear 3D glasses.

Ooops I had the flash off... but this is how it really looked.

Sweet Summer ~ Peace MakerBossy Bulah ~ chillin'

I was able to get pics of Dev and Summer while they were watching the movie but Michael had to pose.
Michael was hyped - he rocked at his baseball game tonight!

Devin LOVES his Papa

My dad showed up to mow today (thank goodness for my dad or my yard would look like a jungle - yes, I'm spoiled but very very very appreciative). When he got to the backyard Dev came in with a long face. When I asked what was wrong he said "I'm not even going to ask if I can ride because I know that he will say 'no'". A few minutes later I sent him out with some water. Dad didn't want it but told me to call Devin so he could ride.

Devin even got to drive!!


THE SMILE SAYS IT ALL!!!!!!!!!!

Last day of First Grade

The school had a field day on the last day of school. They had Sack Races, Egg Toss, Frisbee Throw, etc... Devin won 2 First Place ribbons - one for the Sack Race and the second was for Tug of War. He also won a Third Place ribon for the Frisbee Throw.

Cheese!

Tug of War - Mrs. Daake's class vs Mrs. Hefner's Class - we won!!!

It was sooooo hot outside that Scouty helped Dev cool off.

The very sweet Mrs. Daake, Devin's First Grade Teacher

Josh found a caterpillar - the kids passed him around

I was the keeper of the caterpillar during races

Devin loves to play with Summer and Michael, our neighbors. Almost on a daily basis, Dev watches out the window until they come home. He got home before they did on the last day of school and from 12 to 3 he sat by the window waiting for them to come home so they could play in the sprinkler. They played hard for almost 3 hours.

Summer

Michael got Devin

There is nothing more fun than playing in the sprinkler.

I had to get the camera when I found Devin asleep in his beed at 8:30/8:45. He is the kid who never sleeps.

Memorial Day with the Family

Aunt Karen and Uncle Don had a cookout at their house.

We had sooo much fun with our cousins!

Terri and Alan - what a cute couple

Kara Dawn - I wish I had 1/2 of her energy

Becca - Striking a Pose

Pretty Girl!

AJ and Dev spent HOURS playing on their DS's.

Joel and Uncle Don/Papa Don

Devin loves Handy Dans (aka hand me downs) from his cousin AJ. When we got home, he dumped out the 2 bags of goodies and then burried himself under them. Precious and Lucy joined in the fun.

Unfortunately, the Carpenters' and Amanda weren't able to be there.
WE MISSED YOU ALL!!

Alan preformed his Fat Man on a Stick routine and Kara Dawn joined in.

Presenting Fat Man on a Stick and Pretty Girl on a Stick.

I think they should try out for America's Got Talent.

I saved the best for last. Sisters preformed by Karen and Kendall.

They are going to kill me for posting this. :-)

Hey Mr. DJ

We were coming home from Devin's baseball game tonight

and this song came on the radio.

He started "gettin' his grove on".

Then he asked if I would video him dancing and post it on our blog for the Carpenters.

So… here’s Dev dancing (???) to the music.

Yes, he got his rhythm from me (poor Devin).

He actually wanted to pose at the end back to back with our arms crossed.

I nixed that quickly. :-)

Hey Carpenters – what about a dance off?!!

Snow Day

This was back in February.

Dev would go out and play for 15 minutes,

come back in to warm up and dry off,

then go back out for 15 minutes.

He was determined to make a snowman... don't blink or you'll miss that little lump of snow.

Dev and the Tornado

During a bad storm, the tornado sirens went off and our electricity flickered.

I told Dev I was going to the garage to get the flashlights.

When I came back, he was walking around with a flashlight on his head.

King of the Jungle

The children's musical at church was King of the Jungle.

This is dress rehearsal - can you tell he was tired?! :-)

First Grade Field Trip to Woolaroc

Devin's class went to Woolaroc for a field trip.

I'm not "outdoorsy" so I was dreading the day,

but we ended up having a blast.

They let the kids throw axes at a pile of wood.

Not sure which is scarier, Dev with an axe,

or the bearded man next to him.

Dev wasn't thrilled about the rope swing... lol

Strike a pose

Just playing around with the camera...
