Life In The Field.....

Baby D's little cousin Khloe came to visit afew weeks ago! She has never been in a combine before.

Thus, Baby D reluctantly gave her the opportunity to expand her horizons.

As he causally watched by the wayside, and munched on a Macintosh.

Little Klo Klo, was exceedingly mesmerized by the whole situation.

Yet with all of that excitement, you tend to work up an appetite. 

Perhaps telling them to say "cheese" with a mouth full of Breakfast sandwich was not the most appropriate thing to do.

The kiddo's put in a long hard day of harvesting.

Baby D had an incredible time showing cousin Khloe all about life at the farmstead. 

We can't wait to do it all again next year.

Holy Guacamole It's Hot.....

Wasn't it just last week, when the appreciate attire was long pants and a jacket?

Now we do not leave the confinement of our air conditioned home-abode without, busting into a full fledged sweat.

Oh well, maybe this will be the extra incentive that I need to lose the last ten pounds I put on last winter?

On a positive note, we will be able to bast in the glory of our luxurious kiddy pool this afternoon. *Plenty of sunscreen provided of coarse*

Although we may not fully comprehend the current weather pattern that is taking place, we will try to still cool by riding around on tractors.

Road Trip.....

Last week Baby D was able to hangout with BDW (aka Papa). One of their favorite things to do is cruz around on the tractors. Although it was alittle chilly, they were still able to coast around the farmstead checking out all that there is to see. I can honestly say, that if it were physically possible, Baby D would be on a tractor 24/7.

As I have mentioned in the previous post, Baby D is potty training, kind of. So I thought that I would share a little story with you. Yesterday evening, Baby D, SMS and I took a stroll over to Overland Park. I was in dire need of some new cosmetics (love me some Bobby Brown) and Baby D really wanted to ride the Choooo-Chooo in Independence Center Mall. So we loaded up and headed west. Now Baby D has apparently realized that this whole potty training thing really gets my attention. If he says he has to go, I drop whatever I am doing and bolt over to assist him. Hence, he can get lots of attention, when he blurts out "potty or poopy". With that in mind, we were nearing the end of our journey, and Baby D was beginning to get restless (it is about a 1.5 hour drive to OP). He was really wanting to escape from the confinements of his car seat, doing everything in his power to look extremely uncomfortable. Then all of a sudden he settled down and seemed to be perfectly content, so SMS and I began to continue our leisurely conversion. It happened! Baby D took it upon himself to come up with a brilliant plan of action, he recalled the one thing that makes everyone jump to his aid. "Poopy!" "Poopy!". That is all it took, I began looking for the nearest exit, SMS began chatting with him words of encouragement, and Baby D arched his back looking disturbingly uncomfortable. I raced to stop at the gas station, grabbed him out of the car seat and lad him in the back of the SUV. SMS throw me a diaper (long trips he still has the diaper on, lack of trust on my behalf) with plenty of wipes, and I cautiously opened up the diaper. And I was left standing there in bewilderment, an empty diaper and a 20 month old laughing at his mother hysterically! He had pulled one over us! Cleaver little fella.

Cement Renovation

Baby D and I took a stroll over to cousin Mia's house to watch the FB's pour cement for Phase I of their landscaping renovations.

Now this is some really sticky business!

But have no fear! None of the FB's became a permanent fixture in the driveway.

Baby D kept his distance, watching from afar in BDW's arms.

And was even so fortunate as to take a gator ride to see all of the new baby calves.

Bust'n Out Some Big Equipment...

The farm boys have been busy trying to remove a tree line.

Well, some of the farm boys. Baby D prefers to oversee the entire operation while munching on some cheerios.

This tree was causing some "issues" amongst the fellas.

While the only "issue" Baby D was contemplating with was remove the dirt from within the wheel.

HH quickly removed him and decided to give a brief lesson about strategic "Machine Operation".

But when your attention span last as long as a 8 second bull ride, this tends to be a challenge.

Have a lovely day,
