A Starbuck's Birthday!

Nate was quite excited at Grandma and Grandpa's this weekend. So, now we'll start viewing the pics from this weekend....

My dad hooked up an old car hood behind the 4 wheeler and dragged Nate behind it. He didn't really think much of it, but he did seem to be having some fun with it...




He then got to ride the tractor with his Uncle Adrian. He really likes the tractor. Grandpa was taking him on the tractor to do some bush hogging and apparently got the bush hog stuck in the fence about a 1/2 mile down the road, so they both had to walk back to the house to get help.

Mr. Dave came to the rescue and drove the other tractor out pull the other out of the ditch. Mr. Dave almost got ran over by my dad as he was returning the chains to the cab. The tractor got pulled out okay, and Nate cheered when it started moving again. He got to ride with his Grandpa again, but Dad told me he wanted to go back to the house soon after riding again (I think it was because he thought he would get the tractor stuck again).

Here's Nate riding with my brother:


We celebrated Nate's birthday up there also this weekend. I made him Funfetti Cupcakes with Disney's Cars. We also celebrated my niece Ashton's birthday also...




Nate also got brave in riding the tricycle down the hill, "all by himself". He hasn't quite got the hang of pedaling yet, but he would go to the edge of the hill and push himself off and coast down the hill. I had to stop him a couple of times cause he was almost going to run into Mr. Dave's car.



And Lastly, this is a picture of "Nate's Corn". Back in May, when we were up, Nate got to ride with Grandpa as he planted corn. When he finished up, Grandpa let Nate "drive" the tractor back to the house. SOmewhere along the line, a lever was released that caused the corn to drop out of the planter. Lynn and I noticed it as we drove back up to the house following them.

Below is the results of this effort. This isn't the greatest picture, there was a row of corn that was a lot clearer over by the pond, but I didn't want to head over there cause Jackson likes to jump in the pond. My Dad planted soybeans in this field, but you can still see Nate's corn popping up there...



One last thing, Cousin Matthew is taking up Golf and we let Nate take a wack at a few balls:
