Update

So, I think God got really tired of our moaning and groaning about the weather and decided it was time to give us a break. So, starting Friday afternoon and going on into Saturday evening, we were blessed with wonderful rain showers! We got just under 3 inches at our house. While we could certainly use more since we have taken such a hit with the drought, this has been a wonderful start.

Seriously???

So we desperately need some good rain. We are so incredibly dry. Parts of Kansas are getting some rain, which is good. But we are not one of those parts. We continually miss out on the moisture by sometimes as little as a few miles. Here is a picture of the total precipitation our area had today. If you are wondering where we are at, find the + sign just south of Emporia. We are just west of the +,  where absolutely no rain has fallen today.

New Holland Tractor

Nathan recently made it clear that he would really like a new tractor and he wanted it to be a New Holland tractor. His daddy couldn't resist buying one, so we ordered one online and told Nathan that the UPS guy would deliver it in two days. Well, two days later Nathan was asking when the "guy" would be coming to deliver his "New Holland tractor." Nathan was extremely excited when he woke up from his nap that day to find the "guy" had delivered it.

 

Checking Cattle

Nathan and I joined Brian as he doctored one cow and checked on other cattle. We all really enjoyed the family time together.

Someone LOVES tractors!

Notice not only Nathan's expression upon seeing his Daddy's tractor, but also that he has a tractor in his hand! This is not out of the ordinary at all.

Dirt

I cannot tell you how much our little guy LOVES to play in the dirt! He loves to bring his trucks and tractors out with him and he would play for hours out there if he could. And he has the face to prove it!

Easter 2014

We had another wonderful Easter! Nathan enjoyed the Easter egg hunt at Grandma and Grandpa's.

But what really made the day special was when Grandma Carol gave Nathan a Dora backpack!
