My little "hero" is growing up!

Devon turned four this February and he sure is a funny kid! I love having him at home with me...he keeps me on my toes and makes life interesting. He's my biking buddy when I go exercising in the mornings, he draws pictures for me all day, he helps me make dinner, and he's my "preschool" buddy as well. He amazes me with how fast he can go on his little 12" tired bike. We can't go on a bike without him stopping so I can get ahead of him. He then "lights" up his rocket on his bike and flies past me. Sometimes he'll even put a rocket on my bike for me, but mine never seems to go as fast! I am so glad he is not starting kindergarten next year because I'm not ready to be without my Devon. He does not lack for confidence and I love the conversations I have with him about how strong, smart, and fast he is...he likes them too:)! One time we were talking about how strong he is and Marissa said he's so strong he could pick up 10 houses. Without batting an eye or looking up from whatever he was doing he said, "20 houses!" Usually a day doesn't go by without that kid making me smile!

Devon had a "rocket" party this year. He got to help Daddy make his rocket pinata which he thought was pretty cool, and he gave it a good beating. Like our other homemade pinata (Marissa's castle pinata), Ryan had to eventually do the honors because it was just too sturdy!

His big gift this year was the "tag reader". So far he loves the games/puzzles book!

Grandma and Grandpa gave him a nerf gun...watch out!!
