Massey Ferguson

Growing up it was the farm equipment of choice for the Knuth family was John Deere - this was drilled into our heads - green is better. My brothers didn't even own one red toy tractor. Funny how some things change.....my boys are now getting Massy Ferguson drilled into their heads (again, very much adapting to their surroundings!) I actually heard Eli arguing with someone this weekend that Massy Ferguson was better...wow...

This resulted in a new hat in our house - just thought these pictures were funny -

Also, some kid quotes to share

• We were at a restaurant in Iowa City the other night - Travis, the boys and I and Kayla. Colin was being Mr. Social and saying goodbye to everyone at the tables around us as they were leaving. One guy was putting his coat and Colin looks up at him and says, "bye" in his sweet little voice. The guy simply responded "bye". Eli looks at Kayla and says, "Wow, what a nice guy." Yeah Eli he was a nice guy. He says again, "he was a really nice guy." The table next to us errupted.
• Grandma Cathy just got a new car a couple weeks ago. Eli, inquiring as he does with everything said, "Grandma, why did you get a new car?". She says, "I don't know, I guess because Grandpa decided it was time for me to get a different car so he bought one for me. He responds, "Well, did he put it in a box?"
