More Fun on the FARM

The boys had alot of fun digging for potatoes out in the garden. For being his first time, Trevor sure did great using the potatoe fork. He would dig up a potatoe and hand it to grandma to put in the bowl. It was SO delicious eating all the fresh veggies from the garden and it was VERY fun picking all the stuff too!!!!!

Then after lunch, we went for a trailer ride down to the pasture to watch the cows. The boys had a blast going for the ride and they were so excited when they saw all the cows!!!!


Uncle Paul gave the boys some of his old Trucks that he used to play with when he was young. Trevor and Tyler very gentle with the trucks and would say that "these were Uncle Pauls".. He thought that was very neat!!!!!

Watch out Grandma!!!! Here come 2 jumping boys!!! The kids had so much fun jumping into our arms from up on the rock wall... It sure was challenging when they both decided to jump at once!!!!!

Gophers on the Farm

Tyler and Trevor learned about Pocket Gophers and how to catch them. They walked with their shovels along with Pappa to help dig out of the gopher hole and they saw how to set a trap. It was very cute!!!

Grandma found a walking stick along the side of the garage and our brave Trevor let it crawl up his arm. Tyler stepped back very quickely and said "I don't want it".......

Getting ready for the campfire!!!!!

Trevor amazed us all as he picked up a HUGE log and hauled it over to the tractor!!! As he was carrying it, he said "It's Heavy"... It was SO cute to watch and I still can't believe that he was able to pick up a log that large and heavy.... Trevor told grandma this morning that he is strong, as he took out a whole gallon of milk out of the fridge.... For such a little guy- he is VERY VERY strong!!!!!

Helpers

The boys did so many fun things out on the farm. Of course, Trevors highlight was riding with Papa on the tractor!!! They helped grandma pick corn and tomatoes from the garden. Tyler found a baby corn cob and stood there so proud as he husked it. Trevor would walk out into the garden each morning scouting out tomatoes. He still hasn't realized that green cherry tomatoes aren't quiet ready to eat!!! Uncle Paul was also out visiting this week and Trevor sure found him to be interesting. Trevor had seen Uncle Paul pick a pepper out of the garden earlier that day, so while we were sitting around the camp fire Trevor wondered into the garden and picked one for Uncle Paul.. It was VERY cute!!!!

Out on the Farm

The boys and I had a wonderful time out in South Dakota visiting grandma and grandpa. Trevor loved going on tractor rides and helped Papa haul things in the tractor bucket. He was so proud sitting on the tractor. Tyler was content with sitting on the lawn mower and builiding in the garage. Papa let the boys use his drill to put screws into a board. I was so impressed watching Tyler as he so carefully placed the screw on the drill and actaully drilled it into the board.. And our little Trevor was sure a great helper carrying boards into the barn. He was SO proud of himself for helping grandma and grandpa on the farm.
