My green thumb

Just a few pics of my beautiful flowers I bought this year. My hanging baskets are nice and full they are impatiens coral and white. The other baskets were my mother's day gifts from my mom and David. I also have a hanging white basket up by the front of my house but it is too wet to hang on my shepherds hook. Kathy had bought that for me. The red and yellow are begonias the are my favorite. I really was not sure how they would do considering they get alot of sun. But they are full of flowers. Now that we got plenty of rain the sun can shine!!

You mean I finally get camera time. I guess I could have looked a little nicer. With Devin in the pic that does not matter. He is the center of attention.

ZZZ

You never know where you will find him asleep!!

Buckethead strikes again!!

If you read my blog occasionally, a few months ago I posted a pic with Devin on his tractor. It looked kind of like this. He is such a case. He makes me laugh all the time.

Ready for bed!

I always give Devin a bowl of cereal or a snack before bed with a cup of milk. Just something to fill his belly before bed. He thought he was funny when he shoved about 20 einstein cereals in him mouth at once. Kind-of hard to tell but his cheeks are a little bit fuller.

Then I was ready to put him down early when we saw grammy walking up the sidewalk. I thought it was a cute pic. Molly our dog and Devin their backsides. Aren't they cute!!

Evening

This was the fun we had after everyone left and Devin finally had his nap. We went for a walk and pushed Devin in his swing and Daddy even swung right beside him. We went for a long walk then finally settled in for the evening.

Memorial Day picnic

I was ready for a good cookout. So I decided to have one myself. We invited quit a few of our family members and friends. We had lots of good (yummy) food! I think I gained 10lbs just yesterday. The kids had fun playing together and everyone enjoyed the nice weather!

Sat evening after a wedding and baby shower

Sat was a busy day first started off with a baby shower then off to a wedding. Devin was very good at the wedding, but the reception was a different story. Every evening he has been getting a fever he is cutting 6 teeth all at once. When we got home he acted fine. The poor boy is 17 months old and only had 6 teeth. These are a couple pics of Devin after the wedding!

It happened again!

This week David and I both got sick. Mon night I got home from work was trying to feed Devin some supper. I knew just the smell was making me sick. Then boom I threw up! So I called my mom to come help with Devin. David was in Findlay farming with his former boss. I called him and that is when he told me he was getting sick also. We can't win for losing around here. I disinfect and lysol everytime we are sick too. David made it home in time to hit the bathroom too. Then my awesome mom told me she would take Devin for the night good thing she did cause we ended up getting sick two more times. We really had a rough night, but it was bitter sweet being sick together cause neither one of us could baby eachother!! Hopefully we will not have anymore sickness in this household this year or at least I only hope so!!!!!!!

Devin's new swing set

The other weekend we went out to my uncle's and got my cousins old swing set. It is a wooden one so I think it will last us a while. It is already 17 years old or so. We bought him a new swing and he really loves it. We would be out swinging right now but it is 49 degrees out. So maybe when the sun is shining.

My nephew's 2nd Birthday

Sunday was a great day! Considering it was mother's day too. We went to toledo to celebrate Darren's 2nd birthday. We all got together had pizza and watched the kiddos play. Then Darren opened his gifts. It was a chilly day all in all but very sunny. I think it wore us all out. Here are some pics to show how much fun we all had.

Afterwards

He still had all the energy left in his little body. We got home around 8:15 and I got him ready for bed. He shot a few hoops and played a little. Then it was off to lala land. All I did was pick him up and he laid his little head on my shoulder. Off to bed it was. I thought last week with all the spoiling I did holding him it would be hard to break him from being held to sleep but we had no problem.

Swimming (Finally)

While he was swimming!! He has not been swimming in probably a month & a half. He sure didn't forget how to swim. I think he would swim all day and night if we would let him.

Before hand

Enough with the pics just get me in the pool! I'm ready to swim!

Hamming it up!!

Of course since I was snapping pics he had to be in one too!

New Beauty Shop

This has been a very long process! My aunt Donna the owner of the shop bought a house uptown here. Half house and half shop. It is exciting seeing all the work being put into it. The business should boom!! The shop gets inspected by state board this week. Hope everything will pass. I know it will. Everything is coming together quit well. The pictures are kind of hard to tell but you can see one styler and a little of the waiting area. I will post pics when the shop is all finished.

Devin's new hoop!

After a long week we both finally feel ten times better. So yesterday we went shopping with Grammy. Of course we had to go to Sam's to buy diapers. He really went through alot last week. So from there we went to Target(mommy's favorite store)!! Grammy could not resist buying him a basketball hoop. As you can see he really loved his basketball hoop even in his jammies!

I'm sure he went to bed dreaming about balls. He woke up this morning and David brought him down and first thing he went for was his ball and made a basket!! (Three Points!!)

Devin's first round of the Flu

Well what a week we've had. It all started Sun in church Devin threw up (projectile vomited) during the last song. He threw up 3 more times that day. Thank the lord I had Mon off. So I was able to stay home and take care of my sick little guy. He did have a fever and the runs too. So Tues I headed to work and took him (we thought he was better) to the sitters. Well about 11:30 she called and said he had a fever again and messed his pants. So I took off work and took him to the docs. Doctor Nieset said it is a virus going around and it could take all week to get over. Of course he also said don't be surprised if you don't get it. So Tues night I started feeling achey and feverish. Little did I know I came down with the same thing. But never threw up or anything else. Just very tired and sore. So I stayed home Wed and Thurs also. Hopefully back to work tom.

I hate to see him like this, but love it when he is so clingy to me. All he wants is to be held and loved. So needless to say all week I have given him all my attention. That is probably how I caught it. Hopefully David will not catch it. Next post we will all be better!!

Dad and Devin Chillin

This was last Sun after church. They were just chillin together!

Siefert's Easter @ the hospital

After finally getting down to the hospital we got to celebrate with G-ma and G-pa Siefert! Karen and I took leftovers from our get togethers we had. So we had a little meal. I thought it was quit nice we could all be together. Denny was in good spirits and doing fine. He actually came home today from the hospital it was a suprise. I wanted to make Get Well signs and hang in the house from Devin but didn't get that done. They were already home. Glad to have him home. Hope for a strong and speedy recovery.

The other pic was his easter gift from mama and papa Siefert. They bought it at the OSU Hospital. He loves it already. Your looking at the Future B-Ball Star from Buckeye Central. Maybe even OSU!!

More of Snay's Easter

Here is some more of my goofy family and Devin. We sure did have a goodtime and lots of good food! When is the next get together so G-ma Snay can make her good homemade dressing.

Easter with the Snay's

Aren't they just the cutest kids you've ever seen!! That was the best picture considering they are 3 1\2, 2, and 15 months!!

Sat night @ Grammy and Poppy Hiler

The kids are even spoiled on Easter. Oh well that is what G-ma and G-pa's do best right!?! The kids had so much fun playing together. You can see Cassie loves her cousin Devin so much. Of course that is her only cousin.

Easter Egg Hunt

We were not the only crazy ones in the cold weather. Everyone waited till last minute to come so they did not have to stand in the freezing cold. Devin did get 3 eggs 2 pink and 1 blue 1 even was a money egg. It had a new George Washington dollar coin on it. He finally figured out what to do when all the eggs where all ready picked. Darren had fun too that is Devin's cousin. They are only 8 months apart.

Blogging made easier!!

Fianlly we installed DSL! It is so fast I love it. Now maybe I can keep up with the blog and download pics real fast.
This past month has been a whirlwind. We have been so busy. My new job is going great. But on the other had we found out David's dad had a tumor in his colon. He had surgery on Mon and is down at the James in Columbus. It kills us to see Denny laid up like that. The whole family has taken it as well as we can. We just need to think positve and and keep praying to god. We know he will come through and everything will be fine. He will need chemo and that will take all summer the way it sounds. He hopefully will be home next week sometime. Just keep Denny in your thoughts and prayers!!
On good thoughts everyone have a Safe and Happy Easter! I will post pics of Easter and the Easter egg hunt sometime once it takes place.
