spring planting

 brody does a lot of this right now...hanging out the window, telling me to get him out of here so he can go work, which sounds more like 'urk'. 

 then he finally gets to ride...last fall he would ride about two rounds and call it good.  this spring he is lasting longer...sometimes long enough so mom and i can help move trucks if need be or i can run home and start dinner.

 riley is so far just along for the ride with me.  as long as i provide him with a snack and drink, he is usually quite content.

when it's time to leave, we usually get happy smiles from everyone.

every morning and evening, brody gets his tractors out of the shed and farms the house.  he occassionaly gets stuck and has to get his back hoe out to dig him out.  he makes some pretty awesome tractor noises.  when he isn't farming, he is making sure he has his working pants on to go work at the elevator or put up a grain bin at the elevator.  he also is constantly telling me he is going south of town to work.  (south of town being the location of one of the farms and some grain bins.)  definitely a little farmer in training at this point in his life.
