What's up with Tyler

As most of you could guess, I (Becky) am the main poster. Tyler will help me, or proofread what I wrote, but I do most of it. He had fallen behind and was catching up looking at some of my recent posts. He asked me why we call it "the rider roundup" when maybe we should just call it "All about Eve" because she is the star of the blog. We both know that her life is more exciting and new than ours, but its could to let everyone know what we are doing too. So this blog is for me to catch you up on Tyler's life.

Tyler is still enjoying his work on the farm. The wheat crop was good this year and the price per bushel almost doubled, helping to make it a profitable year. It has allowed Tyler to update his equipment, or as I say to buy more toys for the farm (and yes I know they are necessities to him). He recently upgraded to a new to us John Deere tractor. We went out and saw it today and it has a little ride along seat in the cab next to the drivers seat. I hope he will let Eve go and ride with him as she gets older. He was also able to get a new used John Deer swather. You may ask yourself, what is a swather? I knew it had to do with feed bails, but he had to explain it to me. It takes your plants that you want to use for bails and cuts it down and into smaller pieces that let it dry faster. Later he can take the bailer and make it into round bails to feed our cattle. Tyler is also President of our county farm bureau and we are going to a big conference in Manhattan KS this weekend.

It has been fun for me to see Tyler and Eve interact more and more. She loves to grab his goatee when he gets his face real close to her. She also spends some time almost every Sunday napping on the couch with him. Last Saturday, Tyler went to a Toby Mac concert and Eve would not go to sleep until he came home, she must have missed him. I would put pics, but Tyler hates to have his picture taken. Hope you feel updated on him now.

Aww, Becky, you're cute! Our blog should probably be renamed too, since it's pretty much all about Kathryn. I guess that's what happens when you have a little one! Glad to hear ya'll are doing well, and I did get a little education by reading what Tyler's been up to! Thanks!

Hi Becky... it's been a while... but I wanted to give you an opportunity to trash talk me regarding this upcoming weekend game. (Your baby is adorable... that's not my trash talk. I still need to think of something.)
