Swimming!!!!!

We have Devin enrolled in swimming lessons again at the Buffalo Middle School. It is every Saturday thru May for 20 minutes, I wish it were longer because he just has so much fun and the time goes way to fast.
We are still having a hard time getting him to blow bubbles in the water but this past weekend he actually blew a few so that is progress.

He is doing really well with kicking but we have to remind him to kick his feet or he will only do it a few times and then stop.

Easter at the Kattestad's

Here is our Easter family picture, we try to get a picture at every holiday but sometime we forget.
Devin just loves the car at Grandma and Grandpa's house, as you can see it was difficult to keep him on the task of finding Easter eggs with the car sitting right there.

All the kids got a big thing of bubbles to share when they are at Grandma and Grandpa's of course they loved it but I think Devin may still be a little young for the concept of blowing bubbles.
As you can see all the kids had a great time looking in their Easter baskets and stealing things from each other, why is it that what someone else got is always better than what you have? As you can see Devin was trying to help Savanah or maybe steal her candy, not sure which one.

Here are some pictures of Devin hunting for Easter eggs, he did a really good job and he had a lot of fun!!! I think this is going to be a new tradition for the kids.


Here is the only time Devin is allowed to walk in Grandma's garden.

Easter at the Goshaw's

Devin had a great Easter and was spoiled royally! Here he is showing his surprised face when he is checking out what is in his Easter bucket. He is such a ham!

All of the kid's Easter buckets were hidden outside along with some Easter eggs. They really had a great time finding everything. I think Devin liked finding the Easter eggs more than he cared about what was in them.

Of course Mommy and Daddy had to help Devin a little because some of the Easter eggs were a little harder to find but he still thought it was great, all the kids really enjoyed themselves.

Devin decided that Grandma's deer looked like fun to ride so he took a little break and sat on the deer.

Here is a picture of all the cousins less the two that live in Texas. As you can imagine it wasn't any easy task to get all the kids to sit still and smile at the same time but this is pretty close. Serena is the newest member of the clan and she wasn't so sure she liked all the boys!

Happy Easter!!!!

Devin and Dawson colored Easter eggs at Grandma and Grandpa Kattestad's house. They had a lot of fun, Devin colored on the eggs with markers and Dawson helped Grandma dye the rest of the eggs.
At the last minute we decided to take Devin and Dawson to Carson Park for an Easter egg hunt. There were a ton of people so it was really hard for them to find any eggs but Devin found a few and all the kids received a bag of candy so that was nice. Here are the boys showing off their candy bags.
They also got to meet the Easter Bunny which was pretty exciting, they even possed for a picture, Dawson wasn't so sure about him but Devin thought he was pretty cool.

March - Devin wants to live outside!

Here are some pictures of Devin doing what he loves to do most, playing outside! I think if I let him he would stay out there all day and night. He really loves to help daddy clean the yard up.


Devin also really likes playing in his turtle sandbox, it's the first place he goes when he gets home from daycare every night.





Devin likes to sit in his chair and read the newspaper with daddy. Though daddy doesn't get a lot of reading done because Devin rips the paper apart but he has fun!

February - Savanah and Tanner are One!

Well February wasn't very eventfull for us, however Savanah and Tanner turned one!!! So we traveled to Eau Claire for their big birthday party. It was a lot of fun and of course Devin loved the Birthday cake and trying to help open presents.
Dawson and Devin wanted to show off some hats as to not be out done by Savanah and Tanner just because it was their Birthday. Devin just loves Dawson and wants to do whatever he is doing, which might not always be a good thing but oh well.
Grandpa just hopes they are future race fans!!
