Happy Birthday Little Man!

This kid would live on a John Deere if it came equipped with a bed, bathroom and some food.

I'm almost certain he loves a John Deere tractor as much as he loves me and Dirck . . . possibly even more.

That's fine with me. There are worse things in this world, right?

And he gets it honestly . . . from Dirck who rides the John Deere lawn mower every summer . . . and from my father's side of the family - who were farmers in Mississippi and have a few green and yellow tractors parked in the barn.

He watched me frost part of this cake and gave directions where he saw fit . . . "Get the yellow now, Mom" . . . "You need to put more black on these wheels . . . these wheels here" . . . .

Yes, Sir - it is your party after all.

And of course, he wanted the big black tire for his piece of cake. Although very pretty, I don't even want to begin to tell you what that frosting looks like once it's digested . . . Let's just say that changing my girl's diaper has proven very interesting and colorful today!! :)

Yes, it took a little time to make, but the second he saw it all assembled and he smiled and said "Thank you Momma for my John Deere cake," . . . I could have just melted right there. That's all I want or need in this world.

Awesome! I remember those days when my boy used to love tractors! Though in his case it was International! And to answer your question about the Sigma lens, so far, so good. I have had it for only a week or so now and just took a few pictures with it, but I really like the dept of field, sharpness and brightness! It is half price of the exact same Nikon lens!
