THe D-MAN TURNED "5" (MY BABY)

Devon loves to swim:)
I missed the blowout:(





The fun stared on Thursday May 28Th, when Devon turned 5 years old. It's a little hard for JB and myself to believe that our first born is five. JB said last night, "I can remember like yesterday the day we brought him home, holding him, and changing his diapers". It really does go by so fast. Five, can you believe it? WOW! We had five fun filled days in the sun. It started with a party at school. Devon wanted a superhero party. So Spiderman was the guest of honor. The kids loved the cup cakes. One of the the girls in Devon's class gave him a Batman piggy bank and a Diego bathroom kit. The first thing Devon did when he got home from school was take a shower. That evening we had a family swim party. The pool was great 89* (thanks Spud). The kids had fun swimming and running around the yard, playing superhero's. Aunti Jordy made superhero capes for the boys, and Aunti Lou gave Devon a Starwars the Clone Wars costume (don't ask) the are still a hit at our house. Friday we took the boys to the driving range, then headed over to Grandma's for a quick dip in the pool to cool off. Devon had the Fletcher kids come swim with him. That evening mommy and daddy had a surprise birthday party to go to for my best friend Dori. We had a great evening it was our first without Lauren. We got up early on Saturday and went to the airport to pick up are friends the Wagner's from Idaho. We spent the morning and early afternoon in downtown Seattle. That afternoon we headed for the lake. What a great day in the sun. Sunday and part of Monday we spent the night at the Great Wolf Lodge. The adults had as much fun as the kids. Then Monday night we headed to the Mariners game. We lost, but the field was beautiful, the food was good, and the friends were great. The highlight of the evening was when both Devon and Cameron caught foul balls at the game (with a little help from the guy's on the ground crew). Devon you are growing up so fast, what a kind, compassionate young man you are growing into. I'm so proud of you and happy you are mine:) I love you.
