also, first encounter with sand

Devon is so hilarious, he couldnt figure it out because everytime he picked it up, it wasnt in his hand anymore!...??? Than he was getting frusterated because he couldnt put it in his mouth (like everything else) haha. I know these aren't super cute for everyone, but for parents, their pretty darn cute :)

It's been a while.....

Yes, I know it's been a while. I swear I'm going to get better at this. I am so lucky to be able to quit work next month or sooner, and so when I do I'm hoping that I will be able to do this more :)
This is Devon's first trip to the Ocean!! We went to Copalis for the 4th of July, and it was interesting for a 1 year old.....:) Since Devon is too timid to walk still, it was a constant battle to keep him out of stickers, and out from underneath the motor home! :)















Devon also will not crawl anywhere unless he has things in his hands, and he's bringing them WITH him! hehe. Most of the time he even has something in his mouth as well when he is crawling so that he can get the most out of his trip to wherever his little legs will carry him :)
(Those are golf balls by the way.) He loves to go into Jacob's room and steal all his little toys that Jacob doesnt play with anymore. They tease each other quite a bit, it's quite entertaining :)















Helping mama make some freezer jam, he's such a good helper!

Oh, I forgot about these ones, since I havent blogged in such a long time I thought I had put these up. This is devon's swing that is much too large but what isn't :)

Devon says : "Hello. this is my swing. I invite you to watch me because I'm quite entertaining. "

"Are you ready because I'm waiting..."
Here i goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! :) Now. Wasn't that fun :) I just laugh and laugh and laugh for no reason.

I will get better at blogging. I will get better at blogging. I will!

Devon is growing so quickly and fast, he's certainly turning into such a character, and such a little chubby turd haha :) Here's yet another hat, yeah, I know, I knit and crochet way to much! But, it is finally working to my advantage: I am trading photography services for different hats, baby cocoons and other random handmade items. It's great, works for me, and works for her! :)

This is grandpa's chair, but now dubbed Devon's chair. We take sporatic photos of him in this because than you can see the size of him and how he grows! Devon likes to watch football in it, sleep in it, eat in it, take long walks on the beach, haha just kidding :)

Devon is TRULY andrew's son. He loves to watch television already, and he is only 6 months old (3 months adjusted). Truly a gibbons boy already!

our latest to spokane!

Ready to go strapped into the motor home, we set off to spokane to celebrate mel and norm's birthdays! Devon was ready, just waited forever for us to get all our stuff. What was our problem haha :)

This is what happens daddy dresses devon...he ends up with hot green, plaid, and stipes, all in one! Oh well, at least he's dressed :)

family photo op at a park in moses lake. We pinned andrew's arm until he said he'd call in sick so we could camp out an extra day! :)

Uncle ray, uncle norm, and Mel with Andrew and Devon. It was a fun time by all! :)

Norm is part of a model Tclub, so they had over 20 different cars on show at the shop for the birthday! :)

And one more, I got a haircut, so I had to show you it 1:) Hope you like it!

September...

I seem to only write on this about every month and than there are a whole bunch of pictures to upload.....I'll get better I promise! :)

I was mostly busy with my cna class, which I finished on the 25th of this month! Yeah!!! :) I dont have any pictures, but the instructor is not someone I would want a picture of anyway! boo she was not a nice person :*(

But we did go to Kevin and sara's wedding on the columbia river, and that was a blast. Devon of course was ahit, and I even sneaked in some hairspray to give Devon a little mohawk when andrew wasn't looking! hhahaha

the bride and groom!

The wedding site, it was beautiful, but windy!
our little stud :)

I'll post more pictures but on a different post, I dont want to drag all the photos to the bottom! So hold on! :)

Life is so funny!

I also forgot to post this latest photo! Devon is learning to smile so we get random smiles....really random! I finally caught one on camera!
