school is almost out.

so devon has two more days of school left. he had graduation today atschool. he received his kindergarten diploma as well as the "most creative thinker award" and "outstanding student award". i think that devon is ready for summer and i would have to say that i am excited about not having to have the morning battle everyday. we got season passes to schliterbahn and the zoo so hopefully between those two and discovery green we will have lots of fun over the summer.

it really is not my fault

so i just wanted to let you all know that my internet has been down at my house since 4/14/08. it was just my luck. devon and i are trying to streamline the family finances so we cancelled our home phone because we did not use it enough to justify the $40 bill per month. well at the same time of scheduleing for the landline disconnect i increased our internet to faster service but it all went wrong at that point. the internet was partially disconnected on 4/14/08 and at&t could never figure out how to get the problem corrected so i decided to just cancel the service all together. well the most exciting thing in devon's life recently was our road trip to san antonio. we went up to visit nikki and her family. i would have to say it was a blast. devon hit it off with nikki's sister, emily. they played together and when we spent the day at the riverwalk devon kept going after her hand. it was the cutest thing. autumn, nikki's youngest sister, was super fun. the drive to san antonio was easy enough since it is a straight shot on I-10. along the way we stopped at buc-ee's which is a super convenience store that has like 30 gas pumps and tons of food. the bathrooms, as silly as it sounds, were great. the food and drinks are slightly over priced but it does not deter the people on road trips. if you every have the opportunity to go to buc-ee's try thier jerky and beaver nuggets. so while we were in san antonio we spent a day just hanging out at mary and steve's (nikki's mom and step-dad). we visited the riverwalk on saturday. the weather was perfect not to hot or humid. there was a children's festival going on when we were there and all the kids really seemed to enjoy it. nikki and i were supposed to hit the town on saturday night but both of us fell asleep when we got home from the riverwalk. oh, i need to share a moment that was super funny. we are walking through the mall at the riverwalk and devon took a drink of water and it went down wrong so he spit it out. the funny part of it was that as devon is spitting the water out he looked like a fountian. he was pretty mad that i was laughing at him but i could not help it. once i get my internet back i will post pictures of the weekend.
