Family Fun Night

At Devin's daycare they had a Family Fun Night where they were able to come and play and they put on a little performance for their parents. He really liked showing his grandmas and grandpa where his room was and what toys he likes to play with.
I was a little nervous that he would either just stand out there or would run to us and not want to do anything. Well I was completely wrong, he did an awesome job performing in front of the large group of people that were gathered around. He danced and sang, I was so proud of him.
Devin dancing!!!! Now I only wish I could have gotten him to dance at dance class the first time I took him. Maybe next year!!!
Their marching song.
At the end they were told to go find one person to go and dance with them. So grandma Phyllis went and joined him on the dance floor.

Alexis' Golden Birthday

This year Alexis turned 6 years old on the 6th of this month. We met them at Pizza Ranch in Fairmont for lunch and then headed to the Bowling alley there. It was a very nice afternoon. Devin was very excited about bowling, but didn't want any help. Which can be a problem when he is not strong enough to get the ball all the way down the alley, well he can but it takes a really long time for it to get there.

The birthday girl!!!
Devin was all about wanting to help Alexis open up the present that he picked out for her.
All three of them at the end. We had a great time, but I really don't think this is something we will do that often at least not till he is a little older.

Sledding

At the beginning of this month we had a few nice days that we were able to get out and enjoy the outdoors. Due to all of the snow that we have gotten this year, it is really hard to see at the end of our driveway, so Ben and Devin worked on trying to make the pile not so big. Devin's way of helping was to have a snowball fight. They have had paper snowball fights at daycare and he thinks that is so much fun and we should do it all of the time.
SNOWBALL FIGHT!!
Ben worked on cleaning the roof of the house, which meant the snow blower needed to come out and move the snow. Devin was having a blast running into the cloud of snow as Ben was blowing it.
We have gone to the sledding hill only once so far this year. We have gone over to the neighbors to their little hill and our own yard, but not the big hill. So, Ben and Devin made their way to the top of the hill and then down they came.
The bump in the hill gave them a lot of AIR!!!
All smile at the end, but really did not want to go down the hill anymore.
