Grain Harvest 2009

Grain harvest has started. Things are going well. Brandon is driving the grain wagon this year. We think he's getting so big and tall, but then he gets in the tractor and he still looks pretty darn little! He is doing a great job though. He loves being out there. It's a pretty easy job so he gets lots of time for reading, one of his favorite things. Darin likes having him out there. I'm not sure if Christopher likes him gone all day, Christopher now gets to mow the whole lawn by himself. It's good for all of them to be busy!



Dumping into the ten wheelers
Tyler and Heidi inside the combine looking at the grain coming in. They love to sit on this little bench behind Darin's seat and watch for grasshoppers.

I'm pretty sure he has the seat pumped up here. He looks a little taller.


A little video of the combine dumping into the grain wagon. I'm not a very good at taking video, I really take you for quite a ride. Sorry about that in advance.

I still can't believe he does that. So awesome that they can have such positive work experiences at a young age. I hope that Grain harvest continues to run smoothly and your life isn't too crazy!!

He seems to young to be driving--even if it is farm equipment! But what a fun experience for boys to live on a "farm."

I like the back ground it fits perfect!! That is pretty amazing stuff. Brandon is growing up to be such a good boy! He is getting to big to fast, but he did look little in the tractor! Fun!

Way to go Brandon! What memories I have driving the grain wagon. I can't believe it is the middle of August already.

Sometimes I wish I had a farm for my kids to work on. I think that is so good for them. By the way, the pictures of your kids at the top of the blog are adorable.

When did you get those pictures taken on the side. They're so cute. I need to do some family shots!
