It’s been a long “spring” for the guys. With all the moisture that we’ve had, spraying the crops (for weeds, insects, fungus, etc) has taken a lot longer than it usually does, plus all the grain & canola from last year’s harvest has to be hauled to the grain elevators by the end of July! So Braden and I stopped by one afternoon to see what Daddy & Papa were up to!
They were using the grain vac, which is essentially a giant vacuum cleaner, to empty out the bottom of the grain bins. My friend Natalie – the hearing aide tech – should be very proud that Braden was wearing ear phones!
Braden just had to “drive” the brand new swather! Scares us that in a brand new machine, he just instinctively knew to lift up the arm rest to find the keys! Hmmm…..
Then I had to check and see how the wheat below the farm was doing…
And lastly the little dude had to check out the inside of a grain bin and get nice and dirty!
I hope Braden keeps up his passion for farming as he grows older! He loves just about nothing more than going to work with Daddy and Papa right now!

I'm a nurse who married a farmer and I'm a boy mom of 3 to Braden, Ethan and Jonathan. I love blogging about family life, farming, recipes and embracing my role as farm wife and mom. I'm knee-deep in tractors, trains and trucks and I'm often seen with my camera in my hands catching life's moments.

Very happy to see the boys wearing ear protection!
What a fun life for a little boy! My son loves going to our friend's farm to see the animals and "drive" the tractors! What a beautiful family and farm you have!
it sure is crazy how they know how to turn the key on!! 😉 it is my prayer too that the "passion for farming" is something my son never outgrows!
Yes they just have that instinct!
I love these pictures! Andrew would be in heaven with access to all that awesome equipment! Braden will be begging you to go back all the time! What a pretty, pretty spot you live in!
Thank you so much. Yes, with his little toddler "accent" he asks to go to the "parm" every day!
He is a natural farmer. Must be so much fun for Papa and Daddy!!
He is, they all have a wonderful time together!
I am so jealous of your property! Braden must be so proud of his dada! Great pictures as usual:)
Haha, oh thanks so much. Well, farming is in his blood…he's a pretty proud boy himself!
