Random July Pictures...

Posing for pictures while we were setting up for Grandma Darlyne and Grandpa Richard's Anniversary party with cousin Kyler....
 
 
Jace discovered toads this summer.  And loves catching them.  Poor things get squeezed to death though if he catches them....
And this one got squeezed enough it pee'd on him right after this picture!

 
Jace and I haven't missed a story hour this summer!  And he has steadily gotten better about doing the games and crafts!  (In these pictures the boy in the red shirt is Tucker Jarrett)


 
Thanks to this cool weather we've been enjoying this summer, Jace and I have enjoyed some lunch time outside!

 
Which should of course be followed by a wrestle session with our favorite dog Angus!


 
Ranger ride with Mom!

 
Spending some time at Grandma and Grandpa Boos' new house....insisting that Grandpa help put his pants on after he went to the bathroom...

 
And testing out their new furniture sure is fun!

 
Playing "in" his barn...

 
One day he got to "help" Dad load a grain truck.

 
We LOVE dessert!

 
Got to do some fishing on the river with Mom and Dad...here he is helping make lunch!

 
Monday Cleaning Day!  Such a good helper!

An upgrade....

From Jace's "old" bed...
 

 
And STILL having the baby crib in his room even though he hasn't slept in it for over a year...

 
To a "new" bed!  A.k.a.....we finally moved the baby crib into the baby's room...along with the dresser, so Jace got an upgrade!

No Rest for the Weary.

We love summer.  No bedtime, no alarm clock, life is good.  For a 3-year-old.
 
 
Sometimes though...when you don't take a nap at daycare...you just crash.

 
Either Jace was telling the truth that he didn't nap at daycare, or Dad's talk about soil deficiencies was just that boring.

4th of July Fun

A little swimming...
 


 
Some sky diving....aka Jed giving Austin a little toss in the air.

 
Some parade fun...

 
With friends of course: Jace, Kyler, Ella Grable and Cooper Albers.

 
Leads to this:

 
or this:

 
or this the next day.

 
A couple days after the 4th of July....and it's still hay time.

 
Luckily we've got good help.

 
"Mom, you have to use your muscles to throw hay!"

 
That's a lot of hay bales.  Or "idiot cubes" as they are fondly referred to.

 
And Jace thinks this looks like fun....

Our Wheat Harvest

 
It's not a lot of wheat...but it's enough!
Jace "checking" the wheat.

 
A "before shot" with Angus






 
Didn't waste any time getting some soybeans planted!
 
 
You can almost see Jace in the tractor with Jed.  I started off riding with them, and it didn't take Jace long to tell me I should just go watch from the seat of the ranger.  And so it begins....
