John Denver Says It Best...

.......Well life on the farm is kinda laid back
Ain't much an old country boy like me can't hack
It's early to rise, early in the sack
I thank God I'm a country boy

Well a simple kinda life never did me no harm
A raisin' me a family and workin' on a farm
My days are all filled with an easy country charm
Thank God I'm a country boy

Well I got me a fine wife....

ok, so this song might not totally apply to my life...but a boy can dream!

I got to hang out at the VanKekerix farm yesterday, it was great! They have SO much COOL stuff!

Dad, Tyke, and I snooping around

Tacey and I are making plans to take those bikes out for a ride

Here kitty, kitty....where did you go?

...ahhh clever

oh, cool, more cows!

I liked to MOOOOO at them really loud...but they didn't like it too much

What ya chasin' over there, Tace?

MORE Kitties!!

You want me to touch the horse? Seriously?

Ok, I'll think about it...

Going for it! Horses are hairy...weird.

Kaydrian, are you gonna give me a ride or what?

Just a second...can't seem to get this going! (Just for the record, I was able to get this going...and if mom and dad are reading this, I turn 2 in October...and I want one of these)

Tacey decided she would just drive her own truck :)

Dad, can I have a horse too?  He can sleep in the spare room, and I'll feed him grass and the food I don't eat...pretty please??



Maybe I won't Move Out...

Mom may have won me over...check out what she found me today!

Yes, people, these are my top 5 favorite animals!

There's a horse, a sheep, a BUNNY :), a cow, and a ducky!

How cool...I love playing with this little guys.



Why I'm Moving Out:

I'm revoking all of her blogging priviledges!

I'm also scarred for life...Mom, I'm going to need some EAP!



Happy Holidays!

Last week I got to celebrate two different countries: Canada & the USA! How lucky am I!

I made sure to use the Canadian soccer ball on July 1!

Then for the 4th, we went up to Sioux Falls to hang out with Adalyn (and of course her parents and some others too :))

Anyone want to join us?  TJ says we need a chaperone.

It was so stinking hot out...so they let me put the sprinkler out!

Tacey and I got to hang out that night too!

This is my new best bud, Molly.  I will admit, I was pretty scared of her at the beginning of the evening...lets face it, she's like 7x's the size of Fran-dog!  That's a lot of dog!

Here's another new buddy- Cody.  Kelly brought my new obsession: Puffcorn...and Cody let me eat it with him!

Puffcorn...not really my friend anymore.  I got sick in the middle of the night.  Mom said it was probably a mix of puffcorn and the heat- should I have told her about the grass I ate?

And I wonder why I got a tummy ache... ;)

Aunty Emily was also here this week- check out her blog to see the week's events!

Out & About...time to catch up!

Sorry again for my lack of blogging, I've been too busy! And the computer has been a pain in the butt...so now I have a moment, I will catch up on the going ons....

Aunty Rachel taught me how to smell these Scentsy things! This is one of my favorite pastimes!

 I now know how to turn on the computer...Mom used to have to help me out with that one ;)

I was reading one of my books to Great Grandpa!  Teaching him his animals...I am an expert you know!

Oma sent us presents for Canada Day!

Kayla had fun with my hair at daycare :)

Hmmm...loving the beach!

Sunscreen is very important...Mom makes me put on 50SPF...but her and dad only wear 15...I think they need a 2nd coat!

I didn't want dad to burn his toes!

 

Love you dad!

Whats going on over there? Does some cute brunette need saving? I'm ON MY WAY!

Getting into trouble with Fran!

I woke up with this scratch on my cheek.  Mom asked who did that to me...I told her it was a bunny...I think she bought it.  I don't need her knowing I get out of my crib at night to go hang out with the boys.

The gangs all here!

A few weekends ago most of mom's college crew were all together again!

It all began on Friday.  Mom and I played hooky from work and daycare, and made an early morning trek to Sioux Falls to retrieve Aunty Ashley from the airport!

I loved looking at the big airplanes!  I tried to sneak through security, but mom was such a nervous nelly, not letting me go through....fun hater.

Then we went to eat at IHOP...that's the International House of Pancakes...and I LOVE pancakes!

We made a pitstop in Rock Valley and dropped me off at home for a nap, I was in quite the syrup coma.

Then mom took Ashley to Sioux Center!

Then on Saturday evening there was more fun to be had at Aunty Rachel's and Uncle Alex's!

Turned out to be a black tie affair!

Even Jacob and I got to wear them...we think these adults are a little crazy.

Sydney was there too!

Jacob & Aunty Shannon having a good ol' time!

I was getting kind of jealous of all of Jacob's toys...so he shared with me.

Being goofy with Aunty Rachel!

Last year Uncle Alex introduced me to ribs...this year: Mountain Dew!  What's up for next year?

Aunty Ashley stopped by after the wedding she was at- she was showing me horses on her phone, and telling me ALL about Black Beauty! Mom didn't tell me there were books about horses out there! What in the world mom!

Shortly after this, mom, dad, and I made the trek home, stuffed with good food and fun times!

To my main man...

Happy Father's Day DAD!

I knew you were my bff from the day I met ya :

Thanks for taking such great care of me, mommy, and Fran!

And after a year and a half I will finally forgive you for this:

LOVE YOU DAD!



She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy

Sorry about the 2nd post in a row with a song lyric in the title- I just updated my Ipod for the summer... :)

BUT....this afternoon ROCKED!  I went to my VERY FIRST tractor pull!  Every where I turned, there they were!

Hydrating before the fun begins!

Look! A tractor!

Watching our favorite tractor!

Now it was MY turn!

Check it out...I even won a medal!

Ok, fine, I was just given a medal that was left over from last year...and it was a 3rd place one.  I think we all can agree that if I did the pull I would rank #1.

My buddy Jaivyn won a medal this year! It was his first year trying at it!

Way to go, I hope he shares his secrets with me in a few years.

We left before we saw how his brothers did!

Can't wait for next year!

Toes In the Water....

Last weekend Mom and Dad took me to the beach!

Mom says I need to learn about boundaries...whatever that's supposed to mean! All I did was use this pail that some other kids weren't playing with...didn't want it to go to waste.

It was pretty windy out!

Later that night we went to my buddy Madden's house.  I got to eat hotdogs...I'm easy to please!

All in all it was a fun weekend!
