  Planting season is almost all over. The only thing that is left is the hay field which they are going to spray then plant once the first cutting is off of it. So it is pretty much done! Tyler had been filling the sprayer the end of last week and I think they did some more today and got done. Tyler sold hogs early this morning (as in got up at 3:15 am) then moved some hogs and now he is grinding feed. I have been working at home. Blake has been loving this warm weather! He has got to spend a lot of time outside and riding in a tractor. We have also taken lots of rides with Tyler these last couple weeks in a pickup. He has been driving a pickup delivering seed with the seed tender and then he also delivers the chemical to the sprayer with a goose neck trailer. Blake has enjoyed that a lot!! Blake has found a new obsession!  He loves carrying around a shovel of some sort. He will not hardly go anywhere without a shovel in his hand. I don't have hardly any pictures to prove it but he likes his shovels :) We got the deck completely finished last week and he likes to play on that! It is nice to have that all the way done! Here are just a few pictures of our last couple weeks!

Farmer Blake playing in the gravel.

He likes this toy! He normally digs in the dirt with it but Tyler was mowing so we moved it to the deck. You can see the finished deck behind him.
He doesn't care what size the shovel is as long as he has one!! :)
Mowing with daddy :)
Blake loves it when daddy gets home in time to play outside with him!!
On Saturday evening around 6:30 while Blake was taking a nap Tyler and I started to put up our chicken shed. We got it finished around 10 and got the chickens moved in before 10:30! :) So our 35 chickens now have a new, much bigger home! :) This is the shed that Tyler and I had at our Decatur house. We kept our 4-wheelers in it along with most of our outside stuff and it was also Tyler's shop for all his tools. As you can see we upgraded quite a bit by the below picture :) Now all we have to do for the chickens is get their outside pen built. We are going to cut a hole in the shed and attach a pen so they can get outside. We have the doors on the shed open now so they get some fresh air. 

Our 2 sheds :)

The jugs on the left and the broad head target on the right are to help hold the wire in place.

Our chickens in their new pen!

Today we went outside and rode his little tractor before daddy went back to work from lunch. He pulled his feet up just like he does for his 4-wheeler rides :)

He was not so sure about going barefoot.

Federer's planted the field across the road from our house today. Blake enjoyed watching them!
Driving his bull dozer on the screen waiting for the planter to come closer.

It finally got close! :)
