Cedar Point

One of the highlights of our family trip to Ohio this fall was a visit to the world's best roller coaster amusement park: Cedar point in Ohio. The kids had a blast despite the chilly and windy weather.

Da Fonz

Gemma has ridden her new horse, Fonzi, almost every single day since he arrived from Ohio! He's been a super good boy so far but I'm still buying her an air vest!

Halloween 2013

This year we only had 4 kids in costumes. Gracie went to her friend Lena's house to watch a scary movie.
Nyla was a cute little Zebra

Luke was a mean looking Hulk!

Marshall was a very serious Iron Man!

 

Gemma and her friend Addie prowled the neighborhood as cat burglars!

 

Visit To Ashtabula

The kids are showing Grandma Cochran some tricks on their iPad.
 

Nyla jumped right into Grandma's arms and gave her lots of hugs!

Luke is listening to Grandpa's baseball stories that my mom has written down!

 

Gemma's First Season of Volleyball

This was Gemma's first year playing volleyball. She was very scrappy and I predict she will be improve quickly over these next few years.

Captain America...

.....and his loyal side-kick, "Flower Girl" are now protecting the Seevers household! We are big fans of the Marvel Heros and I got this idea after Marshall took the cat food trash can lid out of the barn and started using it as a shield.  I got the lids at Orcheln's for $2 a piece because they had more lids than cans. Oh, and Flower Girl's powers??  The crystals on her shield are magic and she melts things with her cuteness!
 

 

Gemma's First Track Meet

Gemma competed in the All-Lutheran Track Meet today, the first of her career!  28 mph winds from the N/NW and very cold!  She took 1st place in the 100 meter, 2nd place in the Long jump and 5th in the High Jump!

Crossing Guard

I don't know which is brighter, the stop sign or the hat and shoes!

Happy Is A Little Too Happy!

Happy over-jumps this coop by about 2 feet but somehow, when physics would suggest otherwise (notice heels coming up and out of stirrups), Gemma is able to stick on him!

Yes, she really did stay on!!

County Fair

We just completed the horse riding portion of this year's county fair.  The weather was beautiful and everyone had a blast!  Seward's county fair only offers two English riding classes so both girls decided to don some Western riding gear and participate in the Western classes and games.  Both horses and girls were a "bit" confused at times, but overall they were really glad they participated.  The most complicated part of switching back and forth is the steering because in Western  you "neck rein" (one handed) and in English you "direct rein"(two handed).  Gracie and Gemma earned ribbons of all colors throughout 14 different classes so while they didn't take all blues and purples, both kids and horses learned a lot!  Here are a few of my favorite shots or click HERE for all of Day 1 and HERE for all of Day 2!
