Shopping

One day Devin and I were bored so I decided to go window shopping. She and I went to a few large department stores just to browse around. I didn't even take the stroller in which confirms I wasn't planning on looking myself much because a certain little someone LOVES to shop on her own too.

Not even down the first aisle, Devin had already spotted the wallets.

I think she looked at every one of them. She is just like her momma with her love of bags/purses/wallets. My mom has always teased me that I have always loved a new bag/purse/wallet and it couldn't be anymore true. I sure do love my little shopping buddy!

Park Playdate

A few weeks ago, Devin and I went to meet her friend Conner at this awesome little park we have discovered here. It has quickly become our very favorite hangout, especially with the beautiful weather lately!

It is super safe for the kids and makes it much easier for me as a mom to take Devin there by myself.

But of course, it is always more fun to have friends along for the ride!

Hello.....

Hello....hello Diddo.

From Sept 10


Today I saw Devin talking on her phone while she was blending something in her kitchen. When I listened, she was talking to Diddo on the phone.

I wonder where she learned about cooking and talking on the phone?

I am really behind on blogging right now but just thought I would give you this little gem for the time being. :)

Tired Girl

While I was off having a girl's night, Chris was at home having an evening with his girl. She must have been ready for bed because she climbed into Harley's bed, pulled his blanket up and took a little snooze.

Isn't she silly? As soon as daddy realized she was trying to go to sleep in there he got her ready for bed but by this time she was full steam ahead again!

School Project

A few days ago when I dropped Devin off at school, her teachers handed me this yellow piece of paper with "My Family Picture" written across the top. They said they were asking parents to attach or draw a family picture and bring it back and they would hang them all on the wall. Well, the wheels in my head started turning and my imagination started going a little wild and I was trying to remember if we even had a family picture that was worthy of putting on this. I decided to include multiple pictures of Devin with me, her daddy and her sissy instead. I even got out my scrap booking suitcase which hasn't really come out of the closet since shortly after we got married, oh, almost 6 years ago. :)



I had so much fun making this and was so proud to hand it in this morning for the wall. Sometimes it's the little things that excite me! I think I need to scrapbook a little more too because it really brought me pleasure. It will be so much fun in a few years when Devin is old enough to make her own pages too. In the meantime, Kortnee and I totally need to get all over this because this would be right up her alley!

Paradise in the City

My Uncle Rick has a landscaping company here in the city. He has this great little property sort of tucked away off a really busy street that is a like a little piece of paradise right in the middle of the city. I remember going there when he first bought the land and it needed so much clearing and work. Now it is a fabulous little place.

He has birds....
