Look At What Gabe Drove Up In Last Night!

It's actually his room-mate's but they swapped trucks for the night. We were all in the house when he came and didn't know he was here till he walked in the door. I could tell something was up cuz he had this funny smirk on his face! He goes "Hey come out and see what I brought!"

It's REALLY nice! I'm not big on cars and trucks but this thing is neat! The back seat folds down into a bed and the seats are nice and high and very comfortable. Oh, and it's a diesel (the boys would probably never forgive me if I didn't tell you that:)).

And I had to put this picture on. Tinker is our multi-task horse. He gives rides and pulls a sled during the winter, he's a stud (although he doesn't act mean or anything, he's the most dead headed mini-horse), and a saddle carrier =D

Tinker, Jumping, and Falling off.

Yesterday, Levi and Tabby were bored or something and one or both of them thought up this great idea of getting Tinker and making him jump over things. Well since there happened to be a upside down feed trough right in the middle of the horse pen it looked like a perfect jump! So Tabby jumped on Tinker and Levi put a lead rope on him and made him start running towards the trough. He jumped it, and Tabby slid off the side but that's normal ( she falls off even when Tinker is standing!).

Then when he got pretty good with that, we ( I came out just then and said they should make a real jump) found some old boards that were going to be burned and nailed them together, stood it up in the middle of the yard and had Tinker do more jumps. And since this jump was higher than the other jump in the horse pen, he knocked it over, and Tabby fell off.

Tinker's jumping the board on the ground. For some reason he jumped really high on that one.

Some Pictures

Okay here's some pics from the last few days.

Levi and I both got saddles at an auction last Friday. They both have hardly been used and are really nice and comfortable.

I didn't know my Dad was taking pictures so that's why it looks like I'm hiding behind the horse.

We got our dining room floor done. We still have to do the hall and we want to get the kitchen done soon. But we have to figure out just how many squares we'll need so we can order them (Menards quit carrying that color so we have to special order them).

Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday to you!

My great friend Rebecca is turning fifteen today! Go on over and wish her a good one.


Also it's my Gramma's birthday. Brittney put a wonderful post on her blog about it.

Busy... Busy...Busy...

We've been very busy the past few days.

I (with the help of Tabby and Levi) have been cleaning out a very messy shed and turning it into a more serviceable building than what it was.

Mom finally decided to get a dishwasher to ease the dishwashing load and while her and Dad were at Menards they got some tile for the dining room. Well right after we had pulled half of the carpet up we realized the wood underneath was partical board. And partical board and tile does not go together well, so we are trying to figure out what to do now. I hope we won't have to give up on the tile thing. That would be a bummer.

Hang in there. I'll be posting pictures as soon as I can.

Bear With Me--or with my template!

The site that hosts my blog template is down right now. I'm going to try to wait and see if it'll fix itself so bear with me. Hope you all have a good day!
