More weekend fun

I forgot to post these with our weekend fun pics. Cooper found the bubble wrap around some dishes in the cabinet. The two kids had so much fun jumping on them and laughed each time they heard a "pop."  It made all the adults laugh as well. 

Weekend fun

Cheering ISU on to a victory Friday night. 

Tyler having his own party and fun during the game. 

Saturday the Smith clan came to Lemars. We had a great time eating, visiting, and sharing many laughs.  

Of course when they came to Lemars we had to visit the Ice Cream Parlor. 

First wood project

 DeVos is a Dutch surname meaning "the fox."

Tyler wanted a project to do. So I came up with an idea and set a budget. Tyler did the rest. He did a great job and it came out better than I imagined.   

Basketball Banquet

 

The Seniors: Colin, Kennedy(manager), Jake, Zach,

 Derek, Tyler

Tyler was the only team member that received an Academic All Conference award. He has a GPA above a 3.5. For this we are most proud.

Each senior had a poster in the locker room during the season. At the banquet each player brings the poster home.

Super Saturday

While I attended a fun brunch with friends, Steve and Tyler were having their own fun today. 

Tyler was in a dodgeball tournament with friends in Remsen. Their team, "short bus ballers" got second place out of 17 teams. 

If heaven is 42 degrees, windy, and overcast, Steve was there today! Our baby, Triumph, is finally home in our garage. 

After spending yesterday with mom n dad watching ISU win the semis, we capped off tonight watching ISU win the Big 12 championship!

Dad's scraps...

...is my new bracelet. 

I brought the belt remnant to 19yo, Matt Fedders, owner of www.siouxleather.com today. I had a vision of what I wanted. He turned that vision into a reality and in less than an hour I was off wearing my one of a kind cuff bracelet. It's so neat to have a story behind it. I can't wait to tell it over and over riding this summer. 

So sweet

After sleeping straight through for 11 hours last night Everlee needed a diaper change. The diaper practically weighed as much as she does. 

This girl loves her food! This morning it was Cheerios soaked in mom's milk and mixed fruit for breakfast. 

Everlee bounced and smiled the whole time. We went down to Wells Fargo Arena to watch Rachel's daughter perform with her team their dance squad routine. She's got some moves for a 10 month old. 

To say I enjoyed myself these past few days is an understatement. Knowing that Steve was holding down the fort I really got to enjoy my time with Everlee and the Smith's. Rich and Andrea definitely made it very easy for us to take over duties while they relax on a much deserved vacation. 

Hunger Games

While I was getting breakfast ready she wheeled around and around. She got her 5k in before 9am. 

After sleeping through the night she was hungry for a big girl breakfast of toast and banana.

Rambo looking for any bits that Everlee might have dropped. 

One of the funniest things is that Everlee will chase Rambo around. When Rambo has had enough he heads toward the rug. This lasted for 15 minutes going back and forth. 

Busy body

Whether it's exploring what's behind door #1 or running after Rambo in her walker, she is nonstop. 

District opener

Tonight the Bulldogs lost to Heelan 56-88.

 T, TP, Devo-The three Tyler's

 and one...

This ends Tyler's high school sports. Very bittersweet.

Sunday Funday

Tonight we had a date night to celebrate my birthday! It's been a blessed month! I have so much to be thankful for:)

Rid in' Gear

Thanks to mom n dad, I'm going to be stylish while sitting on the back of our Rocket:)

Parents Night

Tonight the 5 senior boys and us parents were honored before the game. We've enjoyed our time watching Tyler develop as a basketball player and a young man(yes I've even enjoyed watching the beard come in;). Tonight was the last regular season game for the team. They played 4A Sioux City North. They lost 75-85 but the game was closer than the score shows.

So proud!

With "senioritis" setting in I am most proud of this. One more semester to go;)

Thank you so very much!

No matter how old he gets he always appreciates a Valentine's Day gift from grandpa and grandma Kneifl:)

Our newest addition

The newest addition to the Devos family arrived this morning. After months of research, ebay browsing, and craigslist shopping Steve found the perfect camper for us. Yesterday morning he left for Wheat Ridge, CO and arrived back home 26 hours later with our "Timeout." 

The first person for Steve to call and share in our excitement of course was "old skool trucking 24/7." 

Rich said we stole it. Which we agree we got a deal buying it in the off season. The only unfortunate part is now summer seems so for away:(. 

Battle of the Sexes

After 4 practices it was finally the day they've been waiting for. LCHS Dance Exhibition Day!

 The boys waiting to perform their co ed routine. First they had to sit through 35 other dance routines.

Tyler and Katie did a great job! It was so much fun to see Tyler doing something fun and enjoy himself. As you can tell by the smiles they had a great time. Tyler's flexibility on the other hand...  

Our "beeting" hearts

I've been attempting to cook more GF foods for our family and this one takes the cake. It is a delicious chocolate cake in a mug and it's made with two cups of puréed beets! I gave mom n dad a cup to share before their big date night. 

Last regular season away game...

...we traveled the short distance down highway 75 to Sioux City West to take on the Wolverines. The Bulldogs won 63-44. Tyler had a 3 from his sweet spot right before the half.

Date night

Tonight before Tyler's game we went out to eat with our best man and matron of honor (aka mom n dad) for our first valentines day as husband and wife.
