Our little guy turns 2!!!

On Friday was Devin's 2nd birthday. Wow, the time has really gone by fast. It seems like yesterday we were celebrating his 1st birthday and now he is 2. We wanted to do something on his birthday, so we had a little get together with our friends. We have a great group of friends and some wonderful kids. We had pizza and cake and a lot of laughs.

It was so much fun watching Devin open his presents this year. He was so animated in his surprise of what the gift was. Just take a good look at his face in this photo.

I wasn't too sure how blowing out the candles would go. The first time not so well, but I lit them again and he blow them out all by himself. I think I lit his birthday candles a half dozen of times or more. The kids had a great time blowing out the candles.
Group effort!

What a great day we had. Happy 2nd Birthday Devin!! We love you

Filling Daddy's shoes

Guitar Hero

This summer Ben got Rock Band for the Wii and we have played it a few time; mostly when Devin is in bed, but the neighbor boy has played it when Devin has been around. So, now Devin wants to play the guitar. He also knows that the Wii remote is to be used and where that is located and that just watching TV is not right.

Here you can see him jamming out!!

How can you not smile when looking at this photo!

Cousins

Last weekend Patrick surprised his wife with Vikings tickets, so the kids came to Blue Earth to stay at Grandma's house. What a fun time everyone had. All three played at our house first. I am not too sure Devin likes to share his toys. Everything was "Mine, Mine" but then again they are his toys and he is only one years old. (well ok almost 2 years old).

It was nice outside for the most part. Meaning it wasn't freezing or raining. We went out so that they all could get some fresh air and run wild and that is what they did.

This photo makes me laugh. I got them all something to drink and they just all stood their drinking away. I think the boys were either copying each other or copying Alexis. Because they wouldn't put their cup down until the other one would.

Big Boy Bed

This morning we all worked hard cleaning the living room and Devin's room. When we were working on Devin's room we decided to change his crib into a big boy bed. He likes climbing in there and jump up and down.

Here he is at naptime. We will have to see how this goes. It is one thing to sleep, but we have to see what happens when he wakes up.

Happy Halloween

What a beautiful afternoon the day turned out to be. After Friday being really cold, I didn't think it would be nice enough to be able to walk around. We went trick-or-treating with our neighbors. They have a 4year old daughter and a son that is only a couple of months younger than Devin.

Devin was a tiger for Halloween and once in awhile we would get him to roar when he went up to a house. He had a lot of fun trick-or-treating. He did really good going up to the houses, he always wanted to ring the door bell, and I think I might of even heard thank you from him once or maybe twice.

I love the tail in the back!
This is when we stopped at Mandy and Sean's house and he knew where he was. As soon as he saw the house he started running to the front step, but stopped as soon as he saw Mandy.

Devin was not sure of Mandy. You could tell that he knew the voice, but it just didn't look like her.

When we were almost done we took a quick (and I mine quick) photo of the kids on my mom's front step.

Devin and I at our last stop for the night.

After trick-or-treating was done, we dropped Devin off at my mom's for a few hours and we headed uptown. Red Lipstick was playing at Hamilton's, so there was good music and good friends. A nice way to end the night. It was fun checking out all of the costumes. There were a few that I had no idea who was wearing the costume.
