We just got this Bible last week and it’s SO nice, it’s like a giant comic book fully in color. My boys love it!
I got our copy here but I’m sure you can buy it from other online stores too.

8 Years Old
Some photos from Devin’s 8th Birthday back in December, the theme was Angry Birds.
We hosted a sleepover at our house with 2 of his buddies, along with his brothers of course. Then the next day they played outside for hours and hours until some more friends came over to celebrate with presents and an ice cream cake (Devin’s request). It was actually an ice cream sandwich cake and SUPER easy to make!
Devin amazes us all the time with his intelligence, quick thinking, love of learning, passion for trivia, incredible memory, artsy & creative side, plus so much more.
He’s also entering the tween stage (early?) in attitude, appreciates more daddy time, says “oh crap” on a regular basis (trying to work on that!), and spits whenever he’s outside just for the sake of looking like a little man, I think.
All in all he’s a mix of wonder and regular tween ‘tude!
We LOVE our big boy Devin and delight in his big personality in our family.
December’s Angels
“The angels have gone to bed
Their soft hair,
Their bright eyes,
Their little footsteps,
Still dance in our head,
Presents wait unopened
But the angels have gone on to bed,
Until Heaven’s spring comes,
When every box,
Every long awaited gift is finally seen
Oh, this long, long night
With its cruel winter sting
Their warmth is what we need
All is not lost in the world,
Their light is not blotted out by the dark,
The angels have gone to bed
To keep vigil over earth’s hurting,
Always to shine with Heaven’s light,
Making all broken hearts bright”

Elves Around The House
Saturday the boys talked me into letting them get out some Christmas decorations and I went ahead and gave in, getting some decorations up is special. I’m thinking we better wait till December for the tree since I want a real one this year and I’m not sure how long they last.
Sunday morning I came downstairs to find the 2 older ones humming Christmas tunes with Christmas lights plugged in, Devin trying to decorate a little more, Wesley putting cookies on a tray and a cup of soy milk for Santa, then deciding he was gonna drink the milk, Santa could have the cookies.
Having a house full of boys is loud and chaotic at times, but whenever I get a glimpse of their softer side and see how much they get into the spirit of Christmas it’s really sweet.
Are you getting the Christmas decorations out yet?
Halloween Photos
I’m a little late in getting these up but here they are.
A friend hosted a party for the kids, like she did last year, so the boys were really looking forward to the evening and had a lot of fun with their friends.
Thanks to Auntie Crystal for the “Thing” shirts! — Devin was suppose to be Thing #1 but refused and got an old cape to be a vampire, so I went ahead and took his place and dressed up with the little boys.
Now I’m really looking forward to Christmas time!
