Spud Harvest

Well it's that time of year again--Spud Harvest! I love that the boys are getting older and loving spud harvest more and more every year. They have been able to ride in the digger with Grandpa and Uncle Ray, ride in spud truck with Dad, Aunt Bec, and Uncle Eric, ride in the cross over with Uncle Mike, and take treats out with Grandma. They have also played in the dirt and mud in the fields. That's what boys are good at right! The weather has been amazingly hot so they've been on a roll but the last couple days have been rainy and cold so we're just praying that the weather will hold out a couple more days so they can get those potatoes out!


This is the boys spud digger they built! If you look close you can see Braden's hat is inside out and Kyden is wearing a too small snow hat that he found and loves and if you could see his feet, you would see 2 mismatched boots on them. What goofs!
Dad drove for one day and we went to ride with him for a little bit cause it was really bumpy and that's all my baby belly could handle!

I haven't a clue how this picture got turned because if wasn't when I downloaded it! Oh well!

Goofy Grandpa!

Spud day was before we started digging potatoes. Here are a few from the parade which the boys came away from that with a HUGE bag of candy! Ridiculous cause now I'm eating it all! I do have to say that candy makes parades so much better. One year they weren't allowed to throw candy and what a boring parade!
