Disney Favorites

Yes, I realize it has taken me forever to put up some Disney pics. Things have been busy and crazy and crazy-busy! Here are a few of my favorites- out of the 400+ pictures we took!!

Devin meeting Woody!!
In front of Splash Mountain- possibly Devin's favorite ride- one of them anyway!
We loved looking at the different colors of the castle!
Family picture with Buzz!
Waiting for the fireworks!

A Few Photos

We finally made it back to the Fisher Cats game. This time the weather held out and we stayed until the 7th inning. Thank goodness for the $5 Fun Zone that kept Devin's attention- jump house, big slides, batting! My parents got Devin this hat...too cute!

The pics below are from a pond/playground we stopped at one week-end. Devin enjoyed checking out the ducks. Unfortunately the splash pad wasn't working and the playground was small so we didn't stay long.

That's all for now!

Wordless Wednesday~ My Four Year Old

Karate Kid

Here are a couple of pictures of Devin in his karate uniform. The first is Devin before class with the jacket and pants. The second one is after class, when Devin had earned his white belt. Since it is summer, they can wear a school t-shirt instead of the jacket.

More Birthday Party Pics

These pictures are courtesy of my friend Kim. Thanks again Kim! They are in random order but help define the day.

Erick was grilling up food for everyone.

Emma and Devin in the bounce house.

This one cracks me up! My friend Meghan cleaning Devin's face for me. About 1/2 way through opening presents I realized how messy his face was!!

My brother Mark and Devin.
The kids all patiently waiting for their cake and ice cream.

Phone Photo Friday

Here is a picture of Devin at school. His teacher sent this to me as they were getting ready to go outside and enjoy some great weather! Yep, that's my silly boy!



Here are Erick and I last month on our way to a "night out" to celebrate a friend's return from Iraq.

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday

This picture about sums up Devin's mood this week. (oh yeah, and mine too since my mood ultimately depends on his!)

Photos

Although Devin was being a "turkey" for a Thanksgiving Eve photo shoot, we managed to get a few good pictures out of the bunch. A lot of the pictures taken managed to have Devin over-smiling, head tilting back, nose scrunched up and just looking plain evil. Maybe that would have been appropriate? Nah, most of the time he's good! :)

Happy Family Photo


Precious Devin and Santa Photo
Devin refused to sit on Santa's lap. Can't say that I blame him. Santa was gracious enough to kneel down beside him and I love how that created this pose. Devin was eagerly telling Santa about all of the "Toy Story" toys he wants for Christmas!

I was glad, though, that we were not waiting in line in the middle of the mall trying to coerce Devin to sit on Santa's lap while all of the other kids and parents watched on, feeling pressured to hurry up and force him on Santa's lap or forgo our turn after waiting in line for 45 minutes! Thank God the picture studio had their own Santa! (Just saying....)

Thought I'd add...

a couple of MY pictures! Let's begin at my parent's house. Here is the gigantic turkey...it was delicious!
My dad, carving the turkey.
Mom, busy making the squash...mmmmmm!
My 76 year old Memmere and Devin. This came out so precious.
Now let's head over to Erick's Tia Tonia's house. Here is a nice photo of Uncle Brian and Devin.
Abuela, Grandpa, Uncle Brian, Aunt Courtney, and Devin all got together for a rare group shot. Came out great too!
By 7 pm the little ones were all snug as a bug in a rug watching tv....
We had an awesome Thanksgiving and were able to see both sides of our family. For that we are thankful. We are also thankful for our good health, love, support of one another, our home, jobs, and family and friends. <3

Thanksgiving Day through Devin's Lens

Grandpa with his eyes closed.
There's Loca Tia ToniaYep. All in all I'd have to say Devin is proficient at taking pictures at the most inopportune time/angle. HA!

Trick or Treat (part 1)

Sunday afternoon was Trick or Treat in my parent's city (where I grew up!). They always have it the Sunday before Halloween. I actually like it that way. Its a lot safer for the kids and the weather is almost always gorgeous (you never know what the weather will be like in late October in New England).

Here are some pictures of my skunk! (The monkey is my parent's neighbor.)

Picking out some yummy treats!
Here is his stinky backside! (LOL) Devin has the perfect personality for this costume. You KNOW he was getting lots of comments, "Pee-you!" and "Don't spray me!" and so on as we went about the neighborhood. Devin just laughed them off or made a silly face!

Yes, we will still go Trick or Treating around our development on Halloween night. He is excited to go at night time too.

He's my "Lil Stinker" as it says on the bum!

{Almost} Wordless Wednesday

Devin was going cross eyed for this whoopie pie! YUM!
