Where does the time go?

So it has been four years since my last update to Devin's blog. Since then we have had what 4 birthday's, Halloween's, Thanksgiving's, Christmas'. She has had her second oldest brother (Donovan) graduate High School get a scholarship to play football, change his mind and go into the Military (Navy). The next oldest Dillon is now a senor in High School and all star athlete, Derrick the youngest brother now in seventh grade and after five years is back playing football. Devin is now in the 3rd grade. She has had a few more procedures since my last post. We have discovered that hearing aids will be in order as it seem's to be debilitating. She has had several more trips to be the beach the last four years. She is also an aunt now. Oldest brother Donnie and his wife Colleen have our granddaughter Daylen. Devin learning is at an accelerated pace. She is the highest ranked 3rd grader in reading and comprehension. She has made straight A's in the second grade lowest A being a 96. She recently was nominated to be the North Mesquite Pacesetter Mascot.(2017). Mom and Dad will be celebrating our 26th year together. Instead of trying to break down every event and time frame. I will post pic's from all time frames and try and keep them in order. Thank you God for keeping your hands on our family and our friends. We pray that we continue to be good servants and receive your blessings..

Spring Break

Decided it was time for Devin to see the ocean and the beach. The weather wasnt exactly what we wanted but the last couple of days were beautiful, so it all worked out.

The big 3

Our beautiful angel turned three. It was a great party with lot's of friends and family. Thank you to everyone that came to celebrate our daughter's special day.

Snowy Day's

Devin's first real experience with Snow. She wasnt 100% sure what to think about it, but knew it was cool to stick her tongue on it.lol

Christmas 2010

Devin's third christmas. 2010 has been a tremendous year for Devin. Her 8th and possibly last surgery for years to come. Has learned to walk on her own without a walker of any kind or her AFO's. Now we will need to address her walking because she walks on the insides of her feet and on her ankles. She will be going back to Scottish rite in a couple of month's after no visits since April.

Halloween 2010

Celebrated her 3rd Halloween and she knows what fear is at this point. lol,made for somewhat of a long night, especially with brothers that like to agitate.

Summertime Fun

Devin got to experience her first water slide. Birthday party with family and lifelong friends the Pena's. Her enjoying her own little swimming pool with brother Derrick. She also enjoy's her own tree swim from her uncle Tony.
