Jays Birthday!

Ok....Here are a few pictures that I should have put up weeks ago. You see, my son turned 7 back in July. I have never gotten around to putting them on the computer and writing a post about my wonderful son, who is now 7. Today i put it on the to-do list. :)

My Handsome boy is now 7!! Wow. Where has the time gone.

I made him a soccer cake since he is really into soccer this year.


That's what we did. Played a game of soccer with everyone.
(moms, dads, aunts, uncle, grandpa, cousins....)

Daddy and his boy playing.

We had fun!! I think the Yoder family needs to play it more often.

I am so thankful for my Boy. He is becoming all grown up overnight it seems. He has a very sweet spirit and a grateful heart. He loves to play together, or when I help him do something.
He also likes to take things apart, and build new things. I love him so much. I am so thankful for the blessing that God has given us named JAY! I love you son!!

Something to think about.

	As children bring their broken toys with tears for us to mend, I brought my broken dreams to God because He was my friend. But then instead of leaving Him in peace to work alone, I hung around the tried to help with ways that were my own. At last I snatched them back and cried, "How could you be so slow?" "My child," God said, "What could I do, you never did let go?"

Swather.

For Nicole...since she ask. :)

Swather

A swather is a farm implement that cuts hay or small grain crops and forms them into a windrow.

A swather (also called a "windrower") may be self propelled via an internal combustion engine, or may be drawn by a tractor and powered through a power take-off shaft. A swather uses a sickle bar (see mower) to cut the stems of the crop. A reel helps the cut crop fall neatly onto a canvas or auger conveyor which moves it and deposits it into a windrow, with all stems oriented in the same direction. As combines replaced threshing machines, the swather was needed to replace the binder.

Swathing (windrowing) is more common in the northern United States and Canada. This is because the curing time for grain crops is reduced by cutting the plant stems. In regions with longer growing seasons, grain crops are usually left standing and harvested directly by combines.

"Swather" is predominantly the North American term for these machines. In Australia and other parts of the world, they are called "windrowers".

The Swather is the mascot of sports teams at Hesston High School in Hesston, Kansas.
