Tractors, combines...oh my!

This one is for you Grandpa Roger.
Today we were graciously invited out to my Grandma Wiedel's for lunch and then Rylan got to go ride in a GREEN combine with my Uncle (his Great Uncle) Curtis. I'm not sure if the smile was ever wiped off his face. He was so excited to ride... and was telling me all about what combines do before getting in. Mr. Know it ALL! I love this picture... Curtis made filling the bucket or whatever you call it so easy. This HUGE machine going around the cart. He was moving around it without spilling any grain or moving 500 different directions... he just simply moved around the cart like a little kid moved his tractor to fill his cart. Unbelieveable.

Rylan and Great Uncle Curtis getting in combine.

I'm ready to go.

Beautiful day to go ride in the combine. I don't think you can really see but Rylan is DRIVING the combine. He thought this was super cool and totally big stuff!

Thank you Curtis for letting him.. DRIVE and go for a ride. He told me once he got in the car that he wants to be a 'Farmer Man' He thought it was super fun and had a blast.

More..

After Plot night we went and spent a day and some in Omaha.... Guess I should have gotten in this picture for a four generation picture... next time. It was great to see my grandparents!!!!

Love this picture!!

I've had my camera for a few months and some how I managed to get this shot!! My favorite!!

Wow us as a family!! Love these times!!! Gotta love Rylan's smile..ugh

We could gp on 50 walks a day! HE LOVES THEM!!! We need to go on more!

He's too goofy!! Playing with IIIIIvy's bath toys!

Rhiannon also came up to see us! Here's the three amigos! Man when they get older... it could be trouble!

Auh the boys together at last! They LOVE playing together!!!

Plot Night! This was Daddy taking a break from polishing the new... tractor! FUN TIMES!

Playing with his cousins in Iowa.... they all play really well together. Never would know Rylan is the oldest huh?

New Dekalb photo baby! ;)

Don't Fall Over!

This is the latest from us. We traveled back on Labor Day Weekend to Celebrate Jeremy's Dad's Plot Night/Customer Appreciation night for his Seed Business. After the party was over we had a cooler full of soap and water and Rylan took it upon himself to clean himself. I especially love this picture of Rylan but of Jeremy as well. It was pretty funny! Plot Night... and my first. Too bad Rylan wasn't in the picture or it could have been a good Christmas photo... especially with the port a pot behind us. :) lol.

Yes, since the last post he has in dead gotten bigger. He was a champ!!! He sometimes in the past has gotten scared at people ... not since this party! YAY!!!!

Yes, brotherly love. Rylan LOVED pushing his little brother and showing him off. It was pretty cute!

Lots of things you can learn on a farm... I guess we haven't gotten him a scooter and it was fun to watch him learn how to ride it. Took some patience from Mom but he was a pretty quick learner.

The day of Plot Night Deb asked me/us to water the flowers. I knew that would be something Rylan and I could do... or maybe Rylan just took over. This is the face he gives me a lot now. It's so funny!!!

Braxton James Baptized into the Catholic Church!

To start out... this picture was a request from Rylan. He wanted a picture with Jesus. Sorry he wasn't looking but I thought it was priceless! So Daddy and Rylan at Braxton's Baptism... getting a picture with Jesus. Just about ready for the baptism... hangin' out with Grandma Debbie! I love this picture!

All my Great Aunts Chris, Idonna, and Diane. So, Braxton's Great GREAT Aunts... and boy are they! Thank you so much for coming and celebrating this special occasion with us. Love you ALL!

Grandma and Grandpa holding Braxton before he gets baptized. Thank you for coming all the way from Iowa to be here on this special day!

Great Aunt Kris took all the awesome pictures! THANK YOU! They are awesome!

Love this picture too... Baptismal Candle.

Yes, Braxton was OUT during the ceremony.

Blessing his heart.

Baptize you in the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I am not sure any baby just let's someone pour water over their head. Braxton did and it was so cute cause Father was like... well did everyone get their pictures? CUTE! Also, Father was asking Dad about different things for Dad to get Father. He was like Pat you are doing such a great job you might need to get on the payroll. It was funny cause my Dad was just handing him things. We love you Father!!!

Blessing his head....still asleep.

Uncle Caleb lighting Braxton's Candle.

Now out in the church before the alter. What a true blessing baptism is.

Thank you Father for coming to our rescue and Baptizing Braxton for us. Also thank you Caleb and Jenny for being there with us as well! Love you all!

Our whole family. Great Grandparents, Grandparents, Mommy, Daddy, and Big (Passed out)Brother Rylan.

Daddy and Braxton...

Our Family

He's Out! Lots of work being a big brother.

Thank you all who could make it to Braxton's Baptism!

Congratulations to my cousin Casie and her Husband Tyler!!!

The pictures are a little backwards... but so am I! :) Apparently the music was too loud for Rylan.

So, you had to have been there and I don't even remember the song but the parents were making the babies dance dirty and as you can see they didn't think it was as funny as the adults!

Us... without kids. I look at this picture and it seems so weird to me.

Three babies all born 6 weeks apart. First Ike on the left, then Miss Ivy, then baby Braxton! My sister Rhiannon got all the kiddos outfit not all matching but in the same colors. Leave it to her to think of this and it was so nice not figuring out what the boys were going to wear. AND they all looked SO CUTE!

The sleeping babies and the nursing Momma's.

Bride and Groom came in and the big boys couldn't miss a beat... had to come in and check out what was going on. Love this picture! Oh and the YUMMY cake behind them.

Mr. and Mrs. Rust entering the recpetion.

Mom aka the photographer. She took pictures of EVERYTHING this whole weekend!!! She even got a picture of my brother Caleb, Mike, Becca, and Ivy getting into the car. ARE YOU SERIOUS?! lol

Casie and her Father Eldon walking her down the aisle. AND we hear at the reception that just moments before this picture a SNAKE slithered right by them. I would have FLIPPED OUT!!!! Of course not Casie... calm!

Congratulations Tyler and Casie! You are a beautiful couple and will have a very happy life together! Love you! Your wedding was beautiful. Thank you for letting us celebrate your special day!
