I worried about how I was going to get through harvest well into the 3rd trimester as a “single” mom. With Jay out in the field for 14+ hours every day for 4 weeks and counting, I look back and wondered why I worried. Braden has been better than good, and I’ll write more on that later… BUT, for right now…I’m ready for harvest to be DONE. So are the guys. 34 weeks pregnant today, about 4+ weeks of being a “single mom”…yup my harvest tolerance has been maxed! But, when you look at these pics, you’ll see why I really do love harvest so much!
We headed out to see the harvest crew at the Rosebud land, which is about 20 minutes away from the farm site, last Sunday when we got back from the wedding. I missed my boy like crazy, I think more than usual because he’s at an age where he is keenly aware of all that is going on around him, and missed us and knew where we were and that we were gone.

Since it was a gorgeous fall evening, I decided to dress my boy up in his finest harvest duds and do our annual harvest photo shoot. Uncle Craig even said to me “did you have to dress him exactly like me?” But I think he was very flattered! Funny he said that, because I did tell Braden he was going to wear his “Uncle Craig shirt”!

Then it was time for a harvest take-out supper in the field. I love these moments and capturing the memories for years to come. Note, this is the FIRST picture of me ever at harvest time. I noted that when James was putting together the movie for our farm, there wasn’t a single.picture.of.me in the last 7 years! It’s because I’m always the one taking the pictures! So, for the next harvest movie…there can be a picture of me at 33 weeks pregnant with Squishy!

Your little man is adorable!! Beautiful country up in your area. Our harvest last year was a bumper crop which completely surprised us. Guess those very few rains came at just the right times for the wheat. This year however is a completely different story! 🙁
I'm not sure if you have studied photography or not, but these are excellent photos, well exposed, etc. 🙂 you did a great job! Love the wheat for a background, too. I'm jealous we don't have that here! 🙂
I'm not "feeling" small but when I look in the mirror I think I look small too! That's okay, I don't want to push out a 10 lb baby! 😉
Thank you, thank you!
these photos are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD! i want to hire you to take photos of my son in the pumpkin patch! 😉 you are so blessed! and really loved the 21st century photo of the tweeting farmer! 🙂
Thank you soooooooooo much! Haha I'll never do it as a professional, but I love to do it for friends!
Truly is beautiful where you live. That little cowboy of yours is growing so fast……I can't wait to see you all on Sunday 🙂
It really is beautiful, we're very blessed and it was so nice to see you!
You are a saint! I whine when my husband works late 1 night a week…can't imagine all that time! Love the pictures, and you look beautiful at the harvest too!
Haha…no not a saint, just used to it for the most part! Thanks so much, Chelsey!
