Harvest 2014 Part 1

Harvest this year was interesting to say the least! The year started off with rain and very few dry days. So the firsts bunch of combining was done wet and in muddy fields. Then after it got dark the guys would head out to the swathers and swath canola all night long. Needless to say they got just a wee bit tired!
Thankfully once we got to combining the canola the weather was dryer and we were able to go for many hours in a day, they were even able to go all night the one night which was a first for our farm.
After 1 month and 2 days we are able to say that we are DONE!!
We praise the Lord for a safe and fruitful harvest. Once agin He has blessed so richly!!

There are many pictures of our harvest so I'll just start with some today.
Of course riding with someone is the most exciting thing ever! And our kids were able to get in a few rides here and there.

Andy and Auntie Jen in the tractor with the grain cart. 
Great job to Jen for spending many, many hours in that tractor! You are very talented and hard working, so proud of all you did girl!!


So much fun!!!


Kayla getting a ride with Daddy in the grain truck.


She didn't want to stand still for her picture.


Exciting boys after watching/riding.



The next day they were ready to go again!


Josh drives the grain truck so he comes to the yard a lot, which is nice for the kids to go watch, and sneak in a ride or two.


Brendan, ever fascinated with everything thats going on.


Andy learning from his Daddy.


Goofy kids!
