The DeVore Daily

On Friday we headed out of town for a fun weekend with friends in Kingwood. Our first stop was The Woodlands for lunch and a short visit with the Greene's. It had been almost 6 months since we had seen them so it was fun to catch up with them. After lunch we headed to Kingwood for a weekend of fun with the Hicks. Friday afternoon we swam, Greyson perfected his diving board skills, grilled, and enjoyed hanging out after the kids went to bed. Saturday morning our day started bright and early with little ones not getting the memo that we had stayed up past midnight the night before! We headed down the street for a walk around the pond to feed the turtles and ducks and then cooled off afterwards with more swimming. Thankfully everyone took great naps that afternoon so we were rested for ice cream and playing in the fountains down by the lake. Saturday night we enjoyed a delicious dinner out sans kids at Chimichurri's-great food, wine and most importantly great friends! We had a yummy breakfast this morning before heading back to CS. Thanks Hicks for such a fun weekend, we all had a blast.

We had a great Father's Day on Sunday! We started the day having brunch with my brother and dad and ended the day swimming with our best friends the Stricklands. I must say that my kiddos are blessed with a fantastic daddy. He's fun, loving and knows how to be a kid right along with them. I am so thankful that I have such a help-mate in this adventure called parenting!! I love you honey I hope it was a great day for you.

We are still here! We have been busy packing the last few weeks and finally moved this past weekend. We didn't go far, still in College Station just to a different house. The funny thing is, Jason and I lived in this house 6 years ago before we built the house we just left. We love this house!! The house was built in the 60's is in an established neighborhood and we have trees again! We talked about kids in this house and dreamed about what our family might look/be like someday. Now we have kiddos running down the hall of the house which is a lot of fun. We didn't buy the house but are actually renting it-the saga of why we are doing what we're doing will be coming in the next post (it's kind of long and I'll keep you on your toes if you don't already know the story). So for now we are attempting to get settled which I'm learning is a process w/ kids. Thanks to all of my wonderful friends that have watched the kids over the past weeks as I packed and to my mom and Jerry for taking them over the weekend-we appreciate it sooo....much!

The library put on a "Big Rigs" program on Tuesday w/ every kind of truck, car, etc. a kid would ever want to see. Sara was kind enough to take Greyson for me so I could stay home and pack. I was sad to miss but G had a great time seeing the fire truck, motor cop, trash truck, ambulance and more!

We had a fun filled weekend of family and friends. Jasons mom was in town last week so we got to spend lots of time with her last week and through the weekend. My brother and future sister-in-law came in to town Sat so we had fun spending time w/ them Sat evening. We ended the weekend with swimming and pizza Sunday evening with our best friends. It was nice to do some fun things amidst all the boxes and packing we have going on. Oh yeah, did I mention were're moving?? More about that saga in another blog...stay tuned!
