The view from here...

I have been in Washington D.C. at a tax technology conference this week. It's been a great conference but I can't wait to get home to my girl! There is a beautiful view from here though!

Happy

I don't know where the constant tantrums went, and I am sure they will rear their ugly heads again when I least expect it, but I am totally loving the happy little girl who has taken their place lately!

Lately, more and more, everyone tells me she looks just like Chris! I really have to agree with that observation, but he and I would both agree that she may look like him, but she acts just like me!

Piggies

Devin's hair is in an unusual in between state right now. It is long enough to pull back, but there is a bunch of shorter hair around the front that has grown in that will pull back temporarily but usually escapes in no time. Lately, I have been trying to pull her hair back in two little piggy tails, rather than one, in order to try to keep some of that shorter hair in place longer.

It is hard to see in this picture, but man, do I love waking up to this little ray of sunshine everyday!

Birthday Eats

This year my birthday was all about great food!

First, my brother took me for a fabulous sushi lunch! We had such a nice time and one of our longtime childhood friends Maggie joined us. Edward took a few pictures of my girl while we were there.

Later that day, I took Devin to my parent's house and then Chris and I headed out to eat at one of our favorite special occasion places for dinner! We went to Bonnell's. We had a delicious meal. We started with an appetizer of Elk Tacos and Quail Legs. We split a delicious salad. Then I had the pepper crusted buffalo tenderloin and Chris had the pick three and got the buffalo loin, elk loin and lamb. What a fabulous meal it was!

More, more...more!

Lately, when Devin eats, and finds something she likes, regardless of how much other stuff is left on her plate, when she finishes said item, she starts asking for more. For my birthday, my boss went and got us some really delicious bread for breakfast! My favorite of course was the pumpkin bread and I think Devin enjoyed it as well!

Harley

Devin really loves her doggies. She always shares her morning "nack" with Izzy and she loves to pet and love on Harley any chance she gets!

She was sharing her seashells with him here...

Grayson's BDay Party

Last weekend Devin's cousin Grayson had his birthday party at a park in Azle. It was a really neat park and Devin had a blast playing. I think I spent all of 10 minutes that we were there visiting with the adults because Devin wanted to climb and slide non stop and I love to let her wear herself out when she is enjoying herself so much!

Crossing the wavy bridge...

She was so funny beacuse when other kids got on this bridge it would bounce her all around. She would wait for them all to cross and take her time, and if one came while she was crossing, she would hold on to the poles for dear life!

Trouble

Last weekend Bianca and her daddy came over to play for a little while. The girls always have a great time together and play well minimal adult interaction. They love to go in Devin's room and read books.

I kept hearing the pitter patter of little feet and the sound of books coming off the shelf. When Chris got up to check on them, this is what he saw....

From October 2010


Oh.my.goodness! I love how Bianca realizes they are in trouble and is trying to get a book out to put up, while Devin is still loading them in. I learned my lesson about not checking in on them more often. :)

From October 2010


Again, this takes me right back to when me and Tia Awol were little girls and we would do things like this. I remember as children she wanted to move into another bedroom, so we just started sneaking all of her things across the dining room and into the other room. The funny thing is, she got to stay in that room! hahaha

So after the girls cleaned Devin's bed out, with a little of my help, and put everything back on the shelf, I told them they could each pick one book and one stuffed animal that they could bring out to play with but that Devin's room was closed for business for the night. :)

So they went to Todd and he read to them for awhile...

Soaking up the weather

We have really been trying to soak up the nice weather lately. It won't be long before it will be too cold to really spend a lot of time outside without being bundled up.

Devin loves to go out in the backyard with her daddy while I make dinner. He always has to open up the deck box so she can find some fun toys to play with too, especially balls.
