This is the John Deere Tractor my brother got for his 3rd Birthday. My dad has spent his winter restoring it (new axle, decals, paint and wheels) for Ike and Zach to ride when they got here. Today it worked out perfectly! Ike loved driving it so much and Zach loved riding in the back! When we tried to get him out, he would turn the other way and when Ike stopped driving, he kept rocking like he wanted to go. What a treat! I think we'll spend this week out in the yard with the boys turning the tractor around and helping Ike learn to pedal it! Oh, and these pics reminded me of the guy on Green Acres (a show from the 70s... go look it up- Mr. Douglas). He always wore a suit while he farmed with his tractor. Also, Ike pretended he was driving his tractor to "feed the cows." He'd get off and go over to the grass to feed the cows and then get back on, drive a little further and do the same. What fun! I guess that's quality fun in Nebraska:) More later...

So cute, a "life is good" moment! Let's get together soon, we miss seeing you!
ReplyDeleteToo cute!!! :)
ReplyDeleteGrandpa Jim is the best! There is nothing better than a great tractor. I wish I was there to be in on the fun. Zach is getting so big he seems to be sitting up pretty well on his own riding in the back of the tractor. I can't wait to see you all.
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! Definitely something to fun now and to cherish later. Those sweet little boys! Hope we get you see you soon!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the tractor! Every little boy's dream! I haven't visited your blog for a long time, and your boys are getting so big. They're adorable. I don't know what you looked like when you were little, so my opinion is a little one-sided, I suppose, but I think they really look like their daddy.
ReplyDeleteI want a ride! How cool!
ReplyDeleteThe old tractor looks great. Dad must be proud. I remember playing on that thing. The boys are so cute. I'm glad they enjoyed it so much!
