Pulling Stumps

This morning started off with Lady Killer, Master Chief, Girl 2 and Girl 3 (no nicknames for them yet) heading out to the farm.  We get out there and realize I have left the gate key and tractor key at home... So we head back home to get the key and leave everyone but Lady Killer.


Lady Killer and I have a mission of pulling a stump that sits pretty close to the opening of the garage where we park the tractor.  We are armed and ready to go!

I get on the tractor, put it into gear, but the stump wasn't going to give up without a fight.

So we proceed with chopping and digging.... Try the tractor again...

More chopping, more digging, try the tractor, more chopping, more digging, try the tractor....

Bosco is no help

Lady Killer asks to give it a try....

One more time with the tractor...

VICTORIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We own a Tractor

Today we became the proud owners of a 1954 Ford 860 tractor.  We orginally thought we could wait a couple of years to buy a tractor, but the grass grew so tall as to make it hard for the kids to walk, and with the tall grass came lots and lots of ticks.  So we went ahead and bought the tractor, I'm so glad we did.  One of the previous owners put 861 stickers on it, not sure why, maybe they thought it looked better.
