Devon scared me to death climbing in this tree. He has never climbed a tree before, so I was pretty nervous. Titan is a little monkey and does just fine, but Devon got a little wobbly at times. He would do well climbing up it, but he struggled sometimes with trying to get down. He improved, but I told him he could only climb it if I was right there with him in case he needed help getting down.
I had a good time holding that sweet little baby. I always forget how small babies are when they are just a few weeks old. They sure don't stay that way for long! It rained a couple of days that we were there, but the weather was definitely better there than it was in Idaho. We missed out on the first snow. Devon was disappointed, but I was okay with it!
Kathy made Devon's birthday cake. Because of Devon's allergies, Kathy had to use a cake mix that didn't have wheat in it and she also had to use egg replacers. The cake still tasted great, and I couldn't tell any difference. I can't believe my little boy is 4 years old! In the picture where he's opening a gift, it is a Spongebob pillow pet that my grandma got for him. It is so cute and Devon loves it.
Devon was really funny while he was opening presents. We video taped it, so I will enjoy watching it again sometime. He was especially excited about some of the presents and would holler out the name of whatever the gift was. The funniest was when he opened a present and saw the purple Ramone car from the Cars movie and he yelled, "Ramoooooooone!" After he finished opening a present, he would immediately say, "Ok, next present!" He got some movies, a Spongebob Halloween costume, cars, tools, clothes, etc.

The kids didn't seem to be too enthused about this ride.
More gifts!
On Labor Day we went to the Blackfoot Fair. Devon had fun on the car ride. We didn't buy too many riding tickets since they are stinkin' expensive, but Devon was happy to "drive" the red car. Red is his favorite color. He almost always chooses red when he has a choice. That same weekend we were in Tetonia and Devon rode with Papa on the motorcycle. When Craig took Lizzy over to just sit on the motorcycle, she started bawling. Maybe next year she'll want to ride it. When Devon was her age he didn't like riding the motorcycle, either.
