Mombine

Harvest has begun here in South Texas and Kegan has already been out and about helping to harvest the grain.

Kegan loves to be up in the mombine... which is a combine to the rest of us. The front of the combine has a headed on it which will left up and down. Kegan would say "up up up" when his daddy or grandpa would lift it up or say "down" when it would go down. Then when some grain got caught between the header and the combine (which is normal and ok...there is a little platform there that it lands on) it must have really bothered him, though, and he knew it was not supposed to be there, because he kept saying "uh oh" and pointing to it.

He enjoys the ride, and can tell you if you are looking at a combine or a tractor - in person, and in tractor books and magazines he has. Below is a video of me trying to get him to say combine. There was a lot going on outside the window, but he finally saw the combine and said it for me. Below that are some pictures while on the combine these past few days.



Saturday
Taking a ride with Grandpa

Kegan, of course, loves the driver's seat...and the horn and all the buttons that go with that spot!


Monday
Helping daddy harvest the grain. Kegan was sitting in the buddy seat...not for long though. I got up there and he took turns riding in my lap and "helping" Matthew drive.


In control and doing great!

I don't think this is how the steering wheel is supposed to work...you don't stick your legs through it and try to drive...haha...

Laughing with daddy! (pssst...is that shirt not the cutest! We used to call him "Sprout" while I was pregant, before we knew the gender or had a name. I saw this shirt and could not resisit!)

Wearing daddy's hat and playing LOTS of peek a boo. (He says the entire phrase now...not just boo). I thought these were cute pictures of his smile...so I included a few!




For Matthew - a picture of his grain. Thank you Lord for the beautiful grain!
