Nothing Runs Like A Deere




We had gone to an Easter Egg hunt down some serious country roads! On our way back we were following some friends of ours.....all of a sudden they pull off on the side of the road because their
daughter wanted to take some pictures of something that she saw. Well, this ranch hand happened to be on his John Deere tractor doing some work in a field where we had stopped. He noticed that we had kids and drove his tractor to the side of the road where we were and let the kids hop on for a ride! Ryan had stars in his eyes! However, he did not like riding in it as much as he did looking at it! The kids were so excited and talked their experience the rest of the day! Truth be known...I think Matt enjoyed it just as much as the kids...if not more!!! Funny thing is that when we see a John Deere...and living where we do in South Texas we see them often....my children can tell you what kind it is due to the JD movie we have! Only in Texas!!!!

Relaxing Saturday afternoon



Ryan decided after we came in from outside that he no longer needed to wear clothes. It's hot...so this is his look. I've learned you have to pick your battles!

We had a good friend of ours come over with his tractor so we could get our yard ready to plant grass. Ryan and Kollman both were very curious and watched closely! Notice....Ryan has on a diaper and his Woody hat (Woody is from the movie Toy Story). They starred out the window for the longest time.

Then Ryan decided today he wanted to nap on the couch.........yes, he is surrounded by his favorite tractors............

I wish these moments could last forever!

Ear Infections


Today when Ryan woke up from his nap he was SCREAMING...........and also pulling on his ear. Never saw it coming.......no fever....he wasn't fussy.....who knew?! These are pictures after the doctor visit and 1st round of antibiotics. John Deere makes everything better....and so does a sweet sissy!

"In The Zone"


As I put in an earlier post....Ryan is OBSESSED with John Deere Tractors. In fact as I type he is watching this movie and eating John Deere snacks...yes, there is such a thing! He usually runs to the playroom and collects all their toy John Deere Tractors and lays them all out on the ottoman...from biggest to smallest.....and begs to watch the movie. When he is watching he is "in the zone." This works magic when I am prepping dinner....I know he won't move and come in the kitchen near the hot oven or stove. It's funny because he has learned the words to the song as well. So...when he is not watching John Deere...he is singing the songs! When we put him to bed you can hear "John Deere...Oh John Deere." It's the funniest thing! First words out of his mouth in the morning is John Deere. I'm thinking we need to visit our local tractor store so he can "ride" them!
