John Deere Museum

Saturday morning we checked out the new John Deere Museum.  It was really cool, full of history, activities and fun.  All the kids and adults enjoyed it.  

In the lobby.

Different tractors on loan from collectors.  

Riding in the BIG tractor.  

Grandma and Toby getting the work done.  

Emmeric was determined to figure out how it worked.  

Guess the tractor by the hood.  My grandpa had the Model 520.

My Dad "clocking" in one last time, so did all the grandkids.  

Making our own tractors.  They had a lot of interactive activies for the kids.  

Pull the rope to the green line in a second and you were either 1/16. 1/4, 1/2 horse power.  

Toothbrushes

Suction cup toothbrushes always wind up all over the mirror.

Riding Along

We got lots of smiles with these two riding under the cart.

Toby is 3!

This little boy turned 3 today.  He is a very sweet and temperamental guy.  He loves to play cars especially racing, any kind of fighting including swords, guns and wrestling.  He is an excellent cuddler often coming into our bed at night.  He loves his brothers and sister like crazy.  He has a mind of his own and acts older than 3.  He loves to read books and watch movies.  We love you Toby, can't wait to see how you grow this next year.  

Handsome

New Bandana from Daddy just like "Jake and the Neverland Pirates."

This song gets sung a lot at our house, here is Max's rendition.

Party Time

Sunday night we held the party for Emmeric turning 7 and Toby turning 3.  It was so much fun and are thankful that Steve & Sherri let us have it at their house.  We had pizza and cupcakes that the boys helped decorate and of course presents.  

Make a wish!

Cute birthday boys.  

A model train, he has been asking for one FOREVER!

He loved opening all his gifts.  

Professional openers.  

New shield, he loves it. 

Bumblee, we love those Transformers.  

Emmeric is Seven

Today our oldest turned 7!  It has been amazing to see his personality grow these last years.  Emmeric is a sweet child, he loves to play with Legos, read books and ride his bike fast.  He is easy-going and agreeable.  He is very sensitive and wears his heart on his sleeve.  He loves to play games or sit and watch a movie.  Although he is easily distracted he is a great helper around the house.  We love you like crazy Emmeric, we know God has big plans for you; can't wait to see what they are.
