Catch The Moment 365 Week #24 June 11-17, 2014

We spent most of the week preparing equipment to be moved south to Kansas. I caught everyone having a little bit of fun during this crazy week. It’s amazing how everything seems to magically come together and get done right before we head out. Here are my captures for the week.

Ricardo & Sven were up bright and early to play with Ricardo’s new remote toy. His remote car will go up to 40 mph.

Mick and the boys were out blading the yard right before it rained.

Brett has spent a lot of time watching the guys prepare everything to head south. Of course, he thought he should get his combine ready too.

We went to Art Fest in Grand Forks, ND on Saturday. The boys were able to jump on the inflatables for a bit. It has been nice being home a little later this year. We have been able to do things we normally miss out on.

The girls were out checking out the sunset with me on Sunday evening. I seem to have a hard time getting all 3 to photograph good for me. This is probably the best one we’ve ever taken.

Miss innocent, Peaches. I think she ate our baby ducks last week.

We found these little ones in our combine trailer as we were loading up.

Catch The Moment Week #23

Our planting season has come to an end and now it is time to watch for issues and control what we can. We will be preparing to head south to Ness City, Kansas. We’ve had some interesting weather this week which usually means amazing sunsets. Here are my pics for the week…

Wednesday evening we were on our way home from 4-H with severe weather warnings surrounding us. A tornado was spotted west of us along the border, but did not touch down. This photo is looking west towards Calvin, ND. We had rain and ugly clouds, but that was it.

The boys had fun flying a kite until it got stuck in a tree.

Sometimes the sky is more colorful after the sun sets, this was one of those nights.

These 2 Mallards have hung out in our ditch all spring and are most likely the same pair we see every year. This is the same ditch as the previous picture.

Sunday as we were trying to finish seeding we had strong winds with big rain drops interrupt our work briefly. Sven & Ricardo hung out with Max & Sadie under the tractor after lunch until it quit.

We found baby ducks in our ditch! The parents are above. I haven’t seen them since I took this picture. Peaches, our brown dog came home wet later that afternoon. I am hoping she didn’t eat them and they took cover, but we have not spotted them anywhere. Sad smile

Here comes trouble! We set Brett loose on Max’s four wheeler for the first time! Mick turned it all the way down. Brett did a great job and wore a big smile the entire time. The big brother came out in Max who had to stop Brett once in a while to share some pointers.

Catch The Moment Week #22

I can’t believe May is over and June is already here! Normally we are gone south harvesting by now. Due to problems with the winter wheat and canola in Oklahoma we have not left. We are still seeding our crop at home due to some wet fields. Max had Vacation Bible School this week so everyday I had to run for that. They did a wonderful job and had so much fun! This week went super fast for me! Here are my pics…
