Wheat Harvest 2010

Wheat harvest 2010 is complete! What a harvest . . . basically every machine broke down - all 3 trucks, both combines at least once, the grain cart tractor - you get the picture. Crazy!!! But it's done! And Braden is sad. He loved going out every day to ride with daddy in the combine. Anytime I get close to the back door today he goes and stands by it asking to go! Here he is all smiles with daddy. I LOVE this picture!

Future combine driver in training?

And this is where Addyson spent most of her riding time. This is a little booster seat with a tray. One of those items we purchased recently that I am wondering why we didn't buy a long time ago. Anyway, I think she could have sat there all day - eating snacks, drinking her sippy cup, playing with toys, and watching the wheat.




This is where Braden spent most of his time - in my lap checking it all out.

And here we are playing in the wheat in the truck.

All hot and tuckered out after playing in the wheat - it has been hot! They don't lay still like this very often - they really were hot and tired!!!

Braden was so tired one night when we got home a little after bedtime that he got his burp rag he likes to chew on in his crib, went and stood at the rocking chair, and said nigh-nigh!! His first words other than mama and dada. And he continues to say it. It's so cute. Addyson said it a few weeks ago but I thought it was a fluke but now I'm thinking she probably knew what she was saying.

In other news, Addyson - Wait, strike that, I should say I gave up Addyson's night time bottle. She could not have cared less to have a sippy cup instead. Yeah!!! So all the bottles have been packed away!!

And Addyson got her first haircut. I just trimmed her bangs. These are not nearly as dramatic as Braden's before and afters but just to show you --

Before - swept to the side like they normally were

And combed down so you can see just how long they were before:

And after!!!

And some other pictures of our cuties:

And now - on to planting beans!!
