All about Devin

The whole weekend is based around Devin and how goofy he is. He is such a blast to have and was good all weekend. Ate very well and took very long naps. Can't complain! First two pics are Devin's new friends. All the kids love him even though he is alot younger than they are. They are from MO there dad is the one that got Third place Fri night. They are nice people too. We had a big cookout at there trailor Fri night. All of Davids class came over and ate it was a good time and good food.

Other pics are of Devin playing with the bugs. He loves bugs even touches them. GROSS! Oh well he is a boy he will do things I don't like! The bugs down in TN are tremondisly big.

The last pic is Devin getting ready to cheer for Daddy Sat night. Needless to say he made a full pull, but broke in the pull off. So the engine is back down at the shop. Hopefully will get fixed for the weekend. Then off to the next pull. GO GREEN!

Fri night @ the pull

Fri night was a good night. David was first to hook for the night and he went 299. 310 is a full pull. So he was close. As first puller of his class he has the option to drop to the end or keep his hook. He choose to keep it. The first pic is of him pulling. Hard to see cause we were at the end of the track. But he had a excellent run. He got second place. He was beat by 1 foot basically. Right at the end of the class. So we thought he had it in the bag till his buddy pulled from IN. The last pic is of the guy that won. He is David's age and pulls a John Deere also. Very nice people. The other pics are of David walking to the winners circle with the third and first place winners. The rest of the pics I will post separately

Chapel Hill TN

Thurs night we left for Chapel Hill TN. That is where we went for a Super National Tractor pull. Fri night and Sat night David pulled. We had a blast down there. I always choose to go to that one cause the southern hospitality is the best. Devin is sporting his jammies in the semi on the way down. He was watching John Deere his favorite movies. The other pics are just random pics at the pull. We were parked beside Deikmans they live in Ohio. So we may see them at some other pulls. I bought Devin a bubble blower so they were chasing bubbles.

Fireworks

Later that night they had fireworks right after David had won. So that was a nice way to celebrate! I just happened to get David and Devin watching. It can't get any better than that. A win with the tractor, beautiful weather, and fireworks to end the night!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

Just Having Fun!

Devin having fun at the pull. He was playing peek-a-boo with aunt Karen and uncle Seth.

Dangerous

As you can see Tractor pulling can be dangerous also. That is why I get so scared when David pulls!

Devin's new Buddy

When we got there Friday afternoon there were a few spots left in the infield. We decided to pull in there. Well they had just got 2 inches of rain so of course we got stuck. Well we managed to get pulled into a spot. With a John Deere!! So another puller parked beside us. They had a little boy named Matthew 19 months. Devin is 18 months. So they got along and played well together. They even shared there toys. Devin is excited to meet up with Matthew again and play.

Karen and Seth even came down Sat. to watch the pull along with there dog Macy. The kids loved the dog.

All weekend Devin was riding his little john deere tractor(acting like his daddy)! Full Pull!!

The first night David pulled and got fifth place. Not bad for working on the tractor till 3am thurs morning then finally leaving fri at 10am. They worked there tail ends off. Thanks to everyone that helped. Then Sat night David pulled again, he was first to hook in the class and pulled a 280. They decided to lighten the sled. So he dropped to the last of the class. There were 9 in the class. The leader had went 292.8. So that was magic number to beat. Well no one had pulled that far. Finally Renegade Deere was up. Well there was no smoke in the staging area. We were a little discouraged sitting in the stands. Hoping nothing was wrong after all that hard work. The announcer then said renegade deere is back working hard trying to get it fixed. Finally some smoke. David was pulled up to the sled with the tracker. He started it and away he went. The announcer then said it is close. 293.1 So he beat him by inches. I was so excited!! I saw him win his 2nd grand national pull ever. He won the weekend before at Tomah WS. One of the biggest pulls of the season. He even got his pic in the New York Times. I get to excited when he pulls I never can get a good picture. I'm to nervous! Maybe next time.

Devin's first pull of the year

We left Friday and went down to southern Ohio to Georgtown. Devin was in all the whole time. Everything he looked at or heard he would say oh and ah!! He was such a good boy. Can't wait for the next one!! This pic was of him watching the pull the first night. Go Green that is what he is thinking!!

After the nice cold swim!

After the nice swim he took a nice long nap. Then it was supper time and he ate a good meal. He got to play with everyone and have fun. He loves the water even if he is not in his swim trunks. Can't wait till the next time we go up again. Maybe Daddy can go with us!

Bring on the lake!!

Devin ready for the lake. I can't wait mommy let's go!?!

Devin in the water for the first time. Slimy sand in between my toes. Yuck. But it felt good.

Cousin Loren and Devin in the water having a blast.

We got down to the beach after lunch time. Around 1:15 or so. I was excited to see how he would react. He did have fun. Splashing slimy sand at mommy and Loren. Then clouds started rolling in and it got windy. I was bummed. We decided to head back to the trailers. At least I got some cute pics of him! When we got back to the trailers it started to pour. So good thing we got back when we did. Then it was nap time. So mommy had some rest time too. What a beautiful day after the rain left.

Day @ the Lake

We have had this little trip planned for a while. Devin and I packed up since I had the day off work. We took GG-ma Snay with us. We left early in the morning so we could get up there in good time. It is so nice to live that close to the lake. All of my aunts and mom were up there and cousin Loren. So Devin had plenty of attention all day.

The first pic is of Devin. I think he is half dog and half human. He seen Kiara which is Loren's doggy lick the water of the patio so he thought he had to.

The second pic you can see he is getting broke in good. Miller Lite!! Yuck mommy don't drink! The can was never opened just to let you know.

The third pic is of the Snay girls. My Mom Denise, Aunt Diana, Aunt Debbie, and Aunt Donna.

Father's Day 2007

We had a great day. First we woke up and went to church. Then we came home and rested David had a long weekend. There first tractor pull was in MN. They came in 3rd place, but broke. So back to square one pulling pieces out of the tractor. They did not break it that bad. So it is fixable. We then went out to Denny and Kathy's and spent time with them. Ate lunch and played with Devin even saw Seth and Karen.

We then headed off to Poppy and Grammy Hiler's. To give Poppy his father's day gift. Aunt Chels was even out there. So Devin got to spend time with her too. Poppy gave Devin tractor rides all day. You can see in the pic he is having a blast. Then we let dad open his gift. My older sister and I thought of a great present. We had a pic of the kiddos and transferred it on a t-shirt. I really think he liked this gift. He really loves his grand-kids!!

Happy Father's Day to all the men out there!!

tractor pulling time

I get really excited this time of the year. David is off on his first pull already. Good luck to him and his dad I hope they have a great year!!

Random pics of us and the kiddos

Zoo Pics

I did not get very many pictures of the zoo. It was very busy so it was hard to snap pics. The first pic is of the baby polar bear through the fence hard to see but it is very cute we had to wait about 15mins to view them. The last pic is of Devin on the way home from Toledo yesterday. We were not even in the car 5mins and he was out.

Toledo Visit this past weeknd

What a fun weekend we had. Loren Devin and I decided the other week to go up and stay for the night. My sister and I figured since we both had off a Sat it would be nice to take the kiddo's to the zoo. We had a blast. As you can see the kids had so much fun together to. Cassie even sat like a big girl and let me braid her hair. Uncle Dave suprised the kids and came with us too.

more flowers

These are the rest of my flowers I planted. I had bought a whole flat of colored pansy's. I thought they were pretty. Then the miniature rose is one from last year or maybe two years ago. I did nothing with it over the winter and look how pretty it looks. Maybe next year I will experiment even more.
