A Gradall is a Great Place for a Nap

I have to admit, the best place for a nap is on top of the barn, with a cool summer breeze blowing over you...but Wynn found that a Gradall was also a great place for a nap.

Dad restored some hay trolleys and gear for the outside and inside of the barn. We were fortunate enough to borrow a Gradall from a friend to put up this latest addition. Unlike manlifts, a Gradall must be operated from the the base. On the way up Wynn was much more "involved" in the process, and of course we didn't have a camera. Bundled up the rumble of the machine soothed him right to sleep. I hope he develops a love for heavy machinery the way his mom has...

Hiccups are the pits...

and other lessons from a 2 month old.



Smile and the world smiles with you, fart really loud and everyone laughs (at what age does this stop?)


Furry friends are not scary, just slobbery. On our recent car trip to Utah Lavell found the most comfortable spot for his head (now that Wynn is taking part of his seat) in on Waylyn's feet. I wish I had a picture.

If you spit your pacifier out, you can no longer suck on it. Besides the hiccups, there are few things that make him more frustrated that losing his pacifier as he is trying to go to sleep.


What goes down, also comes up. Waylyn's cousin Kylee learned this as she tried to get to Wynn by stepping on his car seat. She learned quickly that as she stepped on the base the handle came up and hit her in the head. I think Brian learned this lesson on a Lake Powell trip years ago.
