John Deere...
Last week my parents couldn't resist the urge to splurge! Let me explain...Roman has a serious obsession with cars, trucks, motorcycles, anything with an engine. Got the picture? Every time Grampy drives in on Tuesday evening (our newly appointed family night) from work Roman squeals with excitement..."Galumpy, machina!" Of course, Grampy has to take him for a drive after that!
So the very next time we got together, before Grampy arrived home, Penny, Mom and & made our way to Walmart to check out the motorized vehicles. They landed on the John Deere truck with a bed in the back and before we knew it we had it loaded in Penny's Trailblazer and we were off!
We unloaded the ginormous box from the back of the car and started assembling. This was Papa's first really big piece job! He did great and the boys were thrilled. However, they had no idea that they could actually drive the big green 'machina' as it takes at least 18 hours for the battery to charge. They still had great fun with the whole idea of having their own truck!
Once the battery was fully charged, the Goeppner family made the trek out to the acreage, aka Granny & Grampy's house, for the boys to try out their new wheels. I wasn't present upon their first touch of the pedal, but when I did arrive Roman was already a pro. He had even figured out how to use the reverse gear to get around trouble spots! I see NASCAR, or better yet, LeMan's in his future!
Jadon is the perfect passenger. Totally content to sit back and enjoy the ride with no interest in getting behind the wheel, except maybe to pose for a picture. It's a perfect partnership for these little brothers!
So, as you can tell, there's not much excitement going on around here.....HA! Every day is more precious and I can't seem to get enough of these little guys. The weekend is coming, that means more kisses and hugs for Totya! Yeah!!!

Wasn't it just yesterday that Andrew was that size?! Your boys look like they're enjoying their cousins! We miss you guys! Josiah is going to boot camp at Loxahatchee in June! We should rendezvous when I do the drop off!
I'm not sure who's having more fun with the boys, me & Dave or the kids!
We absolutely need to make a plan to hook up! Send me the boot camp dates. That may be Andrew's unit putting that boot camp on! He won't be there, though, as he's going to a training in Ft. Myers.
