John Deere

It all started with a friend of ours sending Jenna a 12 month pink John Deere onesie as a baby shower gift.
Then Lance got Jenna toys at the Louisville Farm Machinery Show when she was only a week and a half old.  She has finally started playing with them in the last couple of months.

Then Lance saw our nephew Kent's John Deere teether, and he just had to get Jenna one of those too!
Almost a year ago, Lance took a job with Vincennes Tractor, a John Deere dealer.  Since then, the girls collection of green and yellow gear has grown leaps and bounds.  Recently, we added Take and Toss cups....

because Theresa (the babysitter) was raving about John Deere sippy cups.  The cups she was talking about were made by One Step Up and are insulated.  She said they were the best sippy cups ever, so Lance decided we had to have some of those, too!  That ended up being quite a challenge, because the sippy cups were discontinued a while back.  No worries, he found them and purchased several packages.

I must admit, they are nice cups.

Next, Lance decided Jenna had to have a big sister gift from Daddy.  He got Jenna a Wave & Go Tractor.  This tractor senses motion and moves on it's own.
Neither Jenna, nor her mommy, are huge fans of the tractor.  It's hard to get used to a toy moving everytime you walk past it.
It does have one really neat feature.  When it runs into something, it automatically reverses itself! 

Lance doesn't only take care of the little girls, he takes care of the bigger one too!  Momma got a gift, one that he requested not be used for a while.  Momma got a dumping utility cart to pull behind the lawn mower.  Lance and Jenna had to give it a spin, to make sure the mower could pull it!



Yep, mower did a good job pulling the cart and its precious cargo!

Lance asked if I liked it.  I told him I liked the cart, but not all the work that goes along with it!  I do look forward to it assisting me in some of the yard and landscape work that needs to be done.

So, why did he request it not be used for a while? Oh, and I hope Ciara isn't getting JD sippy cups for her b-day ;l

Take & Toss has John Deere Straw Cups. Those might be better for Ciara, since she's older.

Can't wait to see Jenna & Shelby in coordinating Deere clothes!
