Where is the farmer?

A few nights ago Derek wanted to take us girls and show us something on the farm. As we were driving there we must have been talking about 'the farm' and Evelyn asked us, 'where are the farm animals?' There are some horses in the corals right now so we told her we can go look at them. Then she asked, 'where is the farmer?' Derek and I looked at each other and told her that daddy is the farmer. She looked confused and said, 'No, where is the FARMER?' As if we'd mis-heard her. I still don't know if she knows that daddy is a farmer, or that you can be a farmer without having a cow, pig, duck, rabbit, etc.
We rode with Derek in the tractor today, and it was so fun. I could ride with him all day, I love it. Especially when I'm not pregnant (I'm not). So I'm all excited about spring planting and all that fun stuff. Proud to Farm!

hahaha, that makes me laugh. Maybe Derek needs to buy a pair of overalls and a straw hat so he could be more convincing! :)

I'm glad that you are proud to farm! Sometimes I miss being a farmers daughters, I'm excited your girls get to experience tractor rides with daddy and all that fun stuff.

Cute, cute, cute! I told Vance about this story. So funny. Hopefully some day it'll click for her. =)
Would you mind if I added you to our blog list? Who wouldn't want to see the cute pix of your munchkins. They are darling!!

How cute is that! I am glad that you guys are doing so well. It is sad that I have to find out what is going on with your family through your blog. That is what happens when you are in primary, it's like you lose track of the rest of the ward.

Sounds like a little piece of heaven to me. I think Derek makes a great farmer and you make an adorable farmer's wife (just stay away from the carving knife...kay?)

Miss you guys!
