this past weekend, we got to visit the farm where Matt's Dad grew up! Matt's U. Larry still lives there and farms the land around it so, we went out for the afternoon and Josh and Matt got to help harvest some beans. This was probably one of the best days in Josh's life so far! He LOVES augers and tractors. He's got farmer blood in his veins from both sides of the family so the little farmer enjoyed the day immensely! While Matt took the kids for a ride on the combine, I walked around the farm and took pictures. There's nothing like an old farm to inspire the photographer in me. So, here are some pictures for your enjoyment :) 
I love how you can see Josh smiling with absolute delight

it's fun to notice the small things on an old farm...like the doorpost on the barn being used to take down notes.
i loved the "fancy" door handle in the barn
some of the cement work in the barn
Matt's uncle has one of the most organized work areas I've seen...everything had its place...so, of course I needed to take a couple pictures.

Yep, I can really see Hisato and the Japanese love corn picking in them.
AWESOME Photos, Rebekah! It brings back a flood of memories from when I was little...living on a farm. I loved it! It sure slows me down a bit from the hustle of everyday life, when I revisit a farm or take a look at some beautiful pictures of a farm. I am glad you got to have such a fun time!

Rebekah, those pictures are great. I would love the one of Josh watching the combine. Did you send them to your walmart sight? Can you send this blog to Grandma's email? I bet she would enjoy it.
Bek, I love all the pictures...so fun and makes me also think of when we would stay on the farm at G and G's every summer! Especially the hay mound.
Doozer's hat looks so cute too.

I love the pictures Rebekah! Those are some really great moments, and I love all the details you captured around the place!
Landon loved looking at them with me. He kept saying go back.. up... down... wow. He kept wanting to look at them and wondered who everyone was. :)
Love the pictures and the new hat! =o)

Awesome pictures! I LOVE the one of Darci in her hat looking down...so cute! Your kids are beautiful!
Great pictures, Rebekah! Brings back wonderful memories for me!
Wow, what a post. Thanks so much. Farms in the CP area have a beautu all their own.
I have to ditto everyone else. Great pics, beautiful kids, and sweet memories from growing up a farmer's daughter. I just love fall and harvest. :)
So pretty! And what a fun way to spend a weekend!
love the pictures!!! i made the one of doozer looking down in her hat my wallpaper on my work computer. great pictues, bek!
Thanks for the pictures Rebekah, makes me miss the place. It's been over a year since we've been back to the CP area. You did a great job with the pics!

Girl, you are amazing with the camera!
Such beautiful pictures!
Also, I talked to my mom and asked her how last Sunday was....she said "Oh we just had a wonderful, wonderful day. I know everyone went home feeling revived. I know I did!" So thanks to you and Matt for visiting and for Matt for preaching such a wonderful message. It was very much appreciated.

Rebekah,
Hi! I want to introduce myself really quick, since you don't know me...I'm Kristin and I came across your blog thru Rachel Langhofer's. Rachel and I were roommates at U of I. Isn't little Owen just precious? Anyway, sometimes I'm a blog snooper, and I popped into yours - WOW what beautiful pictures! I have been struggling with getting my camera to function at home, and I was wondering if you would mind telling me what type of camera you have? I'd like to take some pictures with the fuzzy backgrounds like what you have done, but the aperture settings don't seem to function on mine.
Beautiful children!!
Take care,
Kristin
I love how you capture life. Can't wait until I have kids of my own someday to have as a constant subject matter. :) What lens do you use?
those were awesome. smith just got to go with my dad this past weekend too. he was pretty happy about it.

Rebekah,
I enjoyed being with you at Guy and Patti's today and just love your beautiful photos of Matt and your kids at Larry's farm. It appears that Larry was enjoying himself as well. Those farm memories will remain with your children as long as they live. Of course, your pictures won't hurt their memory, either. Thank you very much for sharing them with us!
