Random pics with the kids

These are just some random pics of the kids. One day I decided to do something fun for lunch and we had a picnic on the kitchen floor(I think it was raining). Others are Aleyse at 11 weeks old. Hard to believe she is almost 3 months already. You gotta love those chubby cheeks.

Aleyse Baptised 7-6-08

We had Aleyse baptised Sun morning at church. She did very well and never cried a bit. Afterwards we had a cookout and had some friends and family over. I even captured David getting a little crazy with squirt gun! What a beautiful day for a joyous occasion!

July 4th weekend

We had loads of fun over the 4th. We went swimming and watched fireworks and did a whole bunch of things with family and friends. These are just a few pics from the weekend.

Aleyse's first swim

A week ago we decided to take Aleyse swimming for the first time. About three minutes she was fine then you would have thought her brother was biting her. She screamed bloody murder till we got her out. That is why we do not have any pics of her in the water. We will one of these days take her again and she will get used to it. Maybe the weekend we can take her cousins and we can get some good pics!

Devin's fun on his tractor

This is how Devin can stay entertained at his mama and papa Sieferts house for hours. He loves his tractor. Ryan even found him a wagon for it (in the dumpster). Snapped it all together and it was good as new. He calls it his baler.

Kellen Emily Burger 6-21-08

This is our good friends Ryan and Carly. She was due 2 months after I was. She went into labor this weekend a month early. Everyone is doing fine and the baby is very precious. Hard to believe that Aleyse was once that tiny. She is huge compared to Kellen. I was a little bummed cause we were not home to help them celebrate the birth of their beautiful daughter. We did get a text(pic) message from Ryan mins after she gave birth. I was happy to be woke up in the middle of the night to find out everyone was healthy and happy. I guess you never know when to be prepared for a baby. They can come anytime!!

Tomah WI, Tractor Pull

These are a few random pics of our trip to Tomah. We had a very successful trip up there. It took us 11 hours to get there but we finally made it. The kids slept most of the ride their and back. This was Aleyse's first trip out of Ohio. Many many more to come. David was suppost to pull on Fri evening but we got rained out. So our first pull was Sun afternoon. Their were 13 tractors in the class. We were about the 9th puller to pull. Nobody had a full pull till David came along. He had a repeat from last year. His first pull was 322. Full pull is 310. So he smoked it out the end. Then the last puller made a full pull. So that meant a pull off. Well needless to say we beat him by alot. So that made us the winners 2 years in a row. They always do a presentation to the winners, but there was rain coming. So I could not get pics of how proud we all were.

The kids were angels all weekend. I know for a fact they love tractor pulls already. Well at least Devin does for sure. Aleyse will in time.

First pull for Aleyse!

You be the judge and see how close they resemble each other. No denying they are brother and sister. Aleyse is the bottom pic and she is 7 weeks and Devin is the other pic he was 6 months.

Semi almost finished!

The semi was finished enough to go down the road for the first pull. The water and toilet are not hooked up but we managed. We also have a living quarters in the trailor with all the ammenities. All of us Sieferts got Denny a TV for father's day. So we hung it in the semi. Now Devin can watch John Deere while we are traveling to the pulls. I tried to get a decent pic of the semi and trailor. I took it at the tractor pull. I think David and Denny did a good job on the semi. It was nice to have a little more room going down the road.

T.P. time

Summer is here well almost. That means tractor pulling time. If you all know me well you know that we love tractor pulling!! Our first pull of the season was on Sat. It was in Wilmington OH. There were 11 tractors there and we got 5th place. Denny drove the tractor that was the first time in a year and 8 months since his chemo and surgery. We were all a little nervous and antsy for him, but he got the boost up and went. This also meant that this was Aleyse's first pull and long trip on the road. She weathered very well and even slept through papa's pull. She fell asleep at 10 and slept till 4:30. Considering it was a late night since the pull did not get over with till 12:00a.m. My family even came down to watch us pull. The kids had so much fun together. Now we will be gearin up for the big pull this weekend. It is in Tomah WS. Yes I will be taking both kiddos. When I go back to work I will not be going pullin. That means I will go to all I can since I'm still on maternity leave. Watch for the next post I will post a pic of Devin and Aleyse their first time pulling.

The picture of Devin(sitting by himself in the green chair) was how he was all day and night rooting on all the pullers. I think that picture is priceless.

Update on Aleyse

I know what you all are thinking enough with the pics of Devin and the Semi. So I enjoyed taking some of Aleyse the other day. I managed a couple of good one. You be the judge!! I think she is pretty cute myself. I love all the pink! She weighs around 9 lbs and sleeps anywhere from 4-6 hours a night. I can't complain about that. Although Devin has been sick the last day and a half. He woke me up before she did last night. So needless to say I was up about 3 hours in the middle of the night last night. Well better get something else done while the kids are sleeping.

Fun in the Sun!

Since it has been so hot I thought a little pool would be fun to play in. Devin really enjoyed it so much it even wore him out after he was all done.

Fun with their cousins

These were taken last Fri when Darren and Cassie came to visit for the week. They had loads of fun together. I personally love the one with them in their cool dude shades!

Toter-home coming along!

First pull is this weekend. Semi has to be done by Sat. That is if we ever get the tractor back. David is working on the semi right now as I type. He is adding the generator to it. The pics are of window placing, the windows are not in cause they were bent, toilet room, & black door painted. Pic of the outside were the windows will be and the lights in the semi. I think it is coming along just fine. Oh and one more thing Denny laid the carpet the other day, not sure if you can see it. You be the judge and let me know how it is coming along. Leave comments!

Fun day @ the park

I think I was long over due for blogging! Next time I won't wait as long. This was Aleyse first trip to the park. It was beautiful out yesterday unlike today. Aunt Chelwy(chels) came home. So we ate some lunch and packed up and walked to the park. We had a good time and Aleyse never fussed once. We even stopped at the dairy queen on the way home. We also ran into aunt Donna and her doggy Kiara. The pic of Devin walking Kiara is adorable.
