Weekend Pics!

We spent my birthday hauling stuff up to my parents place.  We emptied out our storage unit and put everything in our new storage unit _ My parent's basement!!  While Brant and my dad carried box after box this is what me, my mom and Devyn did.

Riding a big wheel.  She couldn't really ride it but she could push herself with her feet.

Pushing the shopping cart with the train hat on.  Devyn LOVES trains.  Drew did too so maybe all kids do?

I LOVE this picture!!  She looks so cute!  And so big

Playing in the garage!  Which is probably cleaner than my house!

She couldn't get the glasses on right!

This hat was too big for her it kept falling down to her neck and covering her face up!

Waiting for a treat!  Very patiently.

New Bike!

Not real sure what Devyn is doing in this picture but it is pretty cute!!

Devyn got a new bike for her birthday!!  We tried it on last night to see if it works!  She can't ride it but she will definitely learn fast!

It is super cute and her helmet is cute too!!!  Thank you Baba and Papa!!  

Long week...

We love you Grandma Linda :-)  We are thinking and praying good things here in Chicago.

I was placed into a new school.  I have 3rd grade now... and everything is so much better!  My teacher is awesome and the class is great and I feel safe so everything is all good!!

My parents came down last weekend to bring us the bed that is now in Devyn's room then they left.  Honestly there were there for maybe 30 mins!  But Devyn kept going to the door saying Papa Papa Papa.

The weather has been incredible!!  So excited for spring and summer!!  Devyn and I have been spending a ton of time at the park.  The picture below is her watching the ducks.

Devyn and Jacob playing doctor!!

One of those weeks....

Things just don't seem to be going my way right now.  I started student teaching yesterday and my cooperating teacher was a total disaster.  She is 23 and has been teaching for 2 years and the kids were getting up and walking around the class during her lesson and she was constantly teaching to nobody so I complained to DePaul because how is that going to teach me anything?!?!  So now Day 2 of student teaching and I don't have a school.  They pulled me from the class and school and now I am waiting for them to place me again.  Part of me thinks I should have kept my mouth shut and just not learned anything then the other side of me is really glad that I am going to be getting a better school.  Who knows if I did the right thing?!!  Oh and they are letting 17,000 teachers in the state of Illinois go.  Awesome.  At least the weather is nice!

Here is Devyn yesterday with her new Elmo shirt on.  And her converse that I bought for her almost 2 years ago that FINALLY fit.  Yep we are still wearing a size 4 in shoes.

Devyn's new thing is saying 'oh shit' she will drop her milk or crayon and say Oh Shit.  And I caught her the other day sitting on the toilet (fully clothed) reading a muscle magazine.  I about died.

Running toward me because I have the camera!

Trying to climb on me to get the camera.

Finally got the camera!

Then mean mom took the camera away because I kept dropping it.  

Sick!

Well we have our first ear infection.  We had a fever of 103 yesterday... so we took her in to the doctor and it's official we have an ear infection.  Oh and we had pink eye too!  Thank goodness Brant is a pink eye rep :-)  That worked out really nice for us!  She is still in good spirits though!  These are the pictures that I got when I was in class last night!

Honestly Devyn is OBSESSED with my shoes.  She is always saying shoes, mamma shoes...then she likes to put them on and try and walk around the house!  I tried teaching her how to tie the shoes (I knew she wouldn't get it) but it was still pretty funny!  She will grab the laces and go blah blah blah (language I can't understand) and then pull!!  Ha!  At least she got some of the instructions!
