being busy

well it has been a little bit since i posted. i lost track of this week. devon and i don't really have that exciting of a life. basketball is over and i only work one job right now but it seems that time just flys. well we went to the rodeo for the last dat of the cook off. i was excited about the chance to try all different bbq but it did not quite turn out that way. we did end up getting some bbq but it seemed that all the booths had private parties. devon and i then went to the carnival. we went in a fun house together and then devon used the rest of his tickets by himself. he ended up going in another fun house, down a slide that you use a potato sack to help increase your speed twice and he went in a haunted house (by himself). we took the metro rail home which i have to say is very cost effective. for $3 devon and i got to the rodeo and back and did not have to worry about gas consumption or parking. the other really monumental thing that is happening in our life right now is devon is really working on learning to read. i am sad to report that devon has just about as much patience as i do which is not a lot. he get a check mark for everyday that he practices his words and/or read a book. i know that it is a process and i am hoping that the check mark system helps to motivate him because after he gets so many check marks then he get a prize.
