DeVries Drama

Starting 6th grade and playing on Coach Briggs team are 2 of Jake's biggest pleasures at the moment!

Allie adores her dad and melts down at the thought of his disappointment.  She can't STAND feeling guilty and wants to confess her soul to him the second she can.  I am so grateful that they have a relationship full of love!  They are funny to listen to.  I get the biggest kick out of her dragging him around and asking him play with her.  The other night while I was working Brian called to relay this conversation:
"Dad, I'm hungry."
"Dad, wanna hear how good I memorized Mr. Machine on the piano?"
"Dad, can we eat dinner outside?"
"Dad, I played with Dallin today, and I held his hand but don't worry because that's what friends sometimes do, they hold hands dad.  We're like best friends.  Its okay to hold your best friends hand, right dad?"
"Dad when can we go to The Legacy Center?  I love swimming!"
"Dad, is it my turn to play on the Playstation yet?"
"Dad, I'm too tired to do all this math!  Can we just snuggle for like an hour?"
"Dad, what are you making for dinner?  Do you want me to make a salad?  Can I cook with you for a while, then do my math?"
"Dad, I love school! It's so fun!  Nate's weird huh? Because he doesn't like school.  I think that's why he's grumpy."
"Dad, sometimes I wish we had a girl cat instead of a boy cat, but my friend at school  loves cats so much she'd just kiss every cat, even a boy one."
"Dad..........(more endless chatter)...talk, talk, talk."
