Do You Remember Your First Tonka Truck?…
This is for YOU Little Man! You very own Caterpillar Tonka Dump Truck! For me?
It comes with blocks…Yes, we know how much you love blocks.
Yes, you can even ride in it and push the honk button.
Well, it didn’t take you long to figure out how to drive it…
Yes, Grammie loves watching you play…
Telling Great Grandma and Grandpa how excited you are about your new truck…
You couldn’t leave the other Great Grandma out…showing her how everything works.
“To Be In Your Child’s Memories Tomorrow…Be In His LIFE Today!”
I wanted to share another precious moment with our grandson…BECAUSE a very big thing has happened in his life!
Little Man has moved to…….ARE YOU READY?….

So I have decided to make a trip out there in a few days and check out his surroundings.
I will make sure to report back on my findings♥
So I do have to ask…Did you or your brother ever have a Tonka Truck?

Since I’m the only girl of 4 kids I absolutely remember a lot of toy trucks. What a lucky boy to have all the grandmas…wow, must have good genes.
I have never had a Tonka Truck! They look great! Hope you have a lovely trip! Thanks for inking up! x
Yes, my brother had a Tonka truck growing up…but I swear it was made of metal back then. We all got to play with it. I think we dumped sand with it in our sandbox. Such fun!
I love the quote. Very true indeed… wonderful pictures
Can’t say I remember my first truck – but I remember my son’s 🙂 Course I’m not sure I ever owned a truck … Saying hi through the Wordless Weds … yes, I’m a day late … stop by if you have the time!
My first Tonka Truck was surely put to the test! It was the usual Yellow and metal…I rode that truck into the ground! I loaded it with all sorts of stuff, from dirt to myself, and rode down the hill by my house growing up! I even bought one for my son’s little brother Jordan, (see my post day out with Jordan) I hope he enjoys it as much as I did! Zak, my son was not much of a trucker, he has always been more of a gamer! Either way they are both My life!
Your Grandson is adorable! I hope he enjoys his new Tonka Truck as much as I did!
Your photos tell a wonderful story. Yellow trucks are a must have in every child’s memory. I’d say boy, but my daughters made short work of a dump truck too 🙂
Adorable photos and a quote I love.
Thank you for linking up.
Hi Laurie! He is so sweet with the chubby cheeks, lovely eyes and the tender look in his eyes! He must have bee so excited about the truck 🙂
The Beoynd class must be so ecxiting! I would love to join, but I do not have Photoshop, Lightroom nor an SLR camera … And as I read the course description, it would be good to have these. I just have a little point & shoot 🙂
At the moment I’m taking Tracy Clark’s course The Art of Composiotion {that I won from the Fall Picture from Bubbles & Lights 🙂 } and I’ve rolled to Susan Tuttles Workshop on deleting with Pixrl http://susantuttlephotography.com/online-workshop-offering/ ,it is starting 4th February … I look forward to learning more about editing pictures! Do you have a Lightroom?
I look forward of seeing your posts & being inspired even more,
Nina
*editing, not deleting with Pixrl … Now it’s bedtime, just the last sip of tea 🙂
Terrific photos! I miss those days when my kid were young…my son loved his twrunks! 😉
I don’t know who’s luckier, you guys or him, he’s so so so so cute!!! Have you guys ever entered his picture in a baby contest? He’s got the most perfect little face, lol I know, I say it every.single.time, I can’t help it.
He’s so adorable. I remember when I bought a Tonka Truck for my nephew a few years and how much he loved it!
Have fun in Texas. Can’t wait to see pictures from your adventure.
These photos just melt my heart.. what a little cutie pie. Sure does make me miss my grandson..
Hugs
WOW! She’s a Great Grandma!! I hope I look that when I’m a Great Grandma!
Yes both Greats…age very well…hope it runs in the genes☺
What a cutie! I hope you’re somewhat close to Texas and can visit him often! I’m in TX — definitely a big state! My son had trucks — I still have one of them – a little garbage truck (because he would watch for it and call it “ga-gage” truck!)
LOVE seeing the Nolan pix with the greats and grands! And what a perfect motto – “to be in your children’s memories tomorrow, be in their lives today!”
aww, so sweet!! my father works in the construction business, so yes, i did have a small tonka dump truck and i loved it!! 🙂 enjoy your trip! be safe and have a wonderful time with your family!
precious!
I don’t remember my first tonka truck. He sure is a cutie and it looks like he loves his! : )
Thank you so much for joining us at Communal Global for Tuesday’s around the World.
Your grandson is a charmer! Yes, all the boys in our family have had Tonka trucks. My middle child (son) learned to read when he was four years old. It was his idea to learn as he wanted to be like his big brother. I rewarded him with a new set of toy trucks when he was finished our lesson book. He still loves to read and wants a real truck soon… ( He’s 15 now.) They don’t outgrow their love of trucks!

Such cute pics… of course we had Tonka trucks, they were all metal though, and rusted… lol,,, probably totally unsafe!
Absolutely fantastic images. Not so sure my brother’s had Tonka trucks but my son had a slew. It must be killing you that your Grandson has moved to Texas. I hope you have opportunity to visit him often!

Love your precious little guy. Tonka trucks were a must in our home when our two boys were growing up. You knew they were well built and strong for those tough boys. Boys are so much fun, very physical and at the same time sensitive and loving. We started giving our grandson the Hess truck every Christmas. It is a keepsake and if you buy one and keep it in the box, and buy one for play, they may be worth something in the future. Our grandson, Jake has enjoyed these trucks every year. Not maybe as sturdy as Tonka but unique. Keep on enjoying your grandson and all the best to them in BIG TEXAS! Have a safe trip.

All your photos are adorably cute! I remember my children playing with the Tonka trucks. They are grown now. One works with small children at a private school in another state. She probably is still playing with Tonka trucks. A good tradition !!
He will have fun in Texas! So very cute!!
What a cutie!
Thanks for stopping by my site and liking some of my posts! You’re photography is absolutely amazing! Come and visit me anytime 😀
I know you are going to miss the baby! Thankful you can go for a visit! He is adorable! My boys sure did love their dumps trucks too!
So sorry to hear that your grandson has moved – I know how that feels. As for the tonka trucks…I remember my brothers and my hubby still has one his TTs.
I spent many good times sitting in the sandbox with my boys playing with Tonka trucks, firetruck, dozer, and crane. Yeah, they had it all! Great memories!
I didn’t have a truck but I do remember my bow and arrows!
My face is much better now – thank you.
WOW…you had a bow and arrow? I don’t even know if I would have the strength to pull the bow☺
Just adorable. Yes, our son and grandsons. What memories it brings back!!! The time goes too fast.
Lovely photos — he’s a cutie! I had four brothers and what I remember about them and Tonka trucks is how they could play for hours outside building, digging, destroying. . . oh, and also two of them got in a fight over one truck and one of them clocked the other in the head with it. Trip to the hospital for stitches. They still laugh about it.
What a riot! I am glad they can laugh about it now☺
Oh man, it’s tough on grandparents when the little ones move away. Have a safe trip. 🙂
John, you can’t imagine how rough it is on this grandma right now:(
You bet my son had tonka trucks and you bet they do things big in Texas…that is where I am from. Have a great trip!! Beautiful family, all the generations!!
Such sweet photos! He is such an adorable little one. Have fun in Texas.
Thank you for linking up with Communal Global. =)
Delightful photos. I don’t remember my first tonka toy. Did they make them way back when? (smile)
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
Well of course they made them back then, your just a youngster♥
I Look forward to hearing all about you trip to Texas. Have a great time enjoy your
visit.
I grew up with three older sisters, so NO trucks for us! LOL But, I do wish I still had my raggety Ann doll.
I wish I had my chatty cathy☺
I don’t remember MY first truck but I DO remember my daughter’s. :))
Awesome photos!
so cute! My nephew is all about the trucks right now – such a fun age!
Real Tough Toys For Real Tough Boys! Now that takes me back a l o n g way!
I have a photo somewhere of me at age 4 with a red fire engine (Ithink I eventually threw it out the window)
