Cornfields, Mailbox Makeover and much more!

  Hello Everyone!!
  Since it's been So long since I've posted, this is going to be quite a long post!
  Hope you enjoy!  :)

Jaylon got to fly one of the neighboring farmers drones.  So he was able to get some cool pictures of the fields!

Beautiful ear of white corn :)

 You gotta watch out for the bee's this time of year!!

The corn is getting SO tall!!  Jaylon was in the middle of a field fixing a pivot, and brought this giant stalk out to show me

Jaylon climbed up to the top of the grain bins today to check out how the cornfields are looking

The fields are starting to dry out..won't be long until harvest starts.

The farm just bought a new mower..so Jaylon's been busy mowing all the grass and weeds around the edge and corners of the pivots.

He set up the GPS for the mower, so he doesn't even have to drive :o)

------------------------------------------

Kyle is growing up So much!  Everyday it seems like he's getting bigger...It's bittersweet because we love seeing him grow but at the same time we want him to stay little forever!  :)
He loves going shopping with mommy, and cuddling with the stuffed animals we find in the toy aisle :)

I love it when he falls asleep on me while we are shopping!  Soon he's going to be too big for the carrier :(

Kyle finally upgraded to a big boy carseat!  He loves it :)

Its comfy to sleep in :o)

Kyle loves playing toys!

He also enjoys pulling all the books off the shelf....and then Mommy has to pick them all up, and I'll read him some of them of course ;)

--------------------------------------

I got my pickles canned the other week!!  Can't wait to try them..

I also froze 21 quart bags of peaches!

----------------------------------------

This sad looking mailbox has been in need of a makeover for a Long time!

So the other week it Finally got one!  And of course it got painted John Deere colors ;o)

--------------------------------------

My bookshelf also got a makeover..Jaylon helped me put pallet boards on the back of it.

Stapling the boards on....

 All done!

I love it!  :)

Jaylon also built himself a computer desk out of pallet wood.  He did an Awesome job!

I looks amazing!!

Beautiful sunset!

Can you see the rainbow?  :)

Driving through a Corn Maze!

  Hello Everyone!!
  Last night Jaylon had to go turn on the wells at our biggest pivot, which is one mile wide.  So me and Kyle decided to ride along with him, to keep him company :) Since this field is so big it requires two wells.  The wells are at two different spots in the middle of the field, so they had to knock down the corn for a road that runs all the way through the middle of the field, so they could get to the wells.
  This is the only field that has a road running through it, all the other fields have their wells on the outside of the field.

(I apologize for the bad quality of these pictures, they were taken in the dark so they didn't get too clear) 

   

Driving through the middle of the field...It was like driving through a corn maze :)

The two wells for this field are the only wells on the farm that are run by gas.  The reason for this is because there is a natural gas line running underground through the middle of the field.  So instead of running electric all the way to the center of the field for the wells, they just run the wells by gas.  

Turning on the first well....    

The two wells each have a Semi engine that runs them!  So they are Really loud when you start them up.

                               After we turned on the wells, and drove out of the corn maze ;) we had to drive around the edge of the field until we found the end of the pivot, so we could make sure the pivot was moving.  

Me and Kyle had fun riding along with Jaylon while he started the pivot.  It was especially fun to drive through the mile long corn maze :o)  

---------------------------------------------

I got my red beets canned the other day.  I only got nine jars, so I think next year I'll be planting more red beets than I did this year.   :)
