Chad bought his first tractor.
He is loving it.
I had no idea I married a farmer at heart.
(Except that he is allergic to everything farm related. So, he has had fun playing in the dirt and trees and grass, but he sure feels crummy later! Dirt work and contracting are definitely a much better fit for him.)

Here he is happily mowing the lot.
Brenna got the first ride in the tractor. She pulled the "I am the big sister" card.
Notice how Brenna rides in the tractor?
She sits on Chad's lap, happily chatting away, thankful for the captive audience.
Notice how Joshua rides in the tractor?
He grips the steering wheel tightly, paying great attention, and doing his best to drive!
One is not better than the other, but the differences in each of our children make me smile!
After Chad got all the weeds cut down, we could stake in the house.
It was, of course, a family affair!
The BEST thing about having a big family is having many hands to make light work!
Saturday was cool and windy, but no one complained!
Everyone worked hard to find jobs that suited their skills.
After the house was staked in, Chad (and Joshua) began to scrape the sod where the house will be built.
Joshua even fell asleep in the skidsteer while "helping" his daddy.
The rest of us headed home early, but not Joshua!
There is no happier place than on daddy's lap in a piece of equipment!
Chad and Joshua finished scraping the lot.
This week we hope to apply for the building permit and begin to haul in fill.
