Last Week

These are just some pic that I did on , I am still working on this part.
This is Jimmie before our weekly bike ride, how do you like his choice of shoes.

This is Michael just being cute.

Last week was quite exciting, especially for Joshua. Tuesday evening Roy asked Joshua to string some corn for the deer. He came running back in the house telling us about an Armadillo the dogs were barking at under a water trough which covers water pipes so the cattle don't tear them up. Roy told Joshua to go catch it and play with it. At this point, Jimmie joined in the chase. A few minutes later Jimmie came running in to say that water was squirting everywhere.We're guessing in the midst of the skirmish between the dogs and the armadillo pipes got busted. Joshua came walking back with his prize armadillo, beating off the dog who was quite bothered by the fact Joshua had the armadillo and not him. Roy headed out to turn water off and access the damages. After digging a bit he asked us to call a friend who manages a plumbing supply business in town to see if he was still at the office. About an hour later, Doug brought us some parts and he and Roy got it put together. Doug headed for home and Roy headed to get the pipes fixed and us running water so we could wash the dishes and get a much needed drink. The kids weren't to fond of Kumbucha for supper. Roy's guess on the problem was wrong. Back to the drawing board. He knew Doug kept some spare parts at home so he called to check. No luck. He and Roy decided Roy could meet him at the store about 7 the next morning. Annie and Jenny headed to some friends up the road with a few 5 gallon buckets to get some drinking water. Roy got us up and running the next day about 9:30. Quite an ordeal. All over an armadillo.


Tuesday, Jenny got her top braces off and Patty got her bottom braces on. After counting the cost we're praying and believing for everyone else to have straight teeth. Thursday Patty started helping Mark Clise pick cotton. She has been running the module builder for him. We are not sure who has more fun Patty or the kidz coming and going to visit her. Friday, we put up Christmas decorations and had our weekly pizza. The pizza pro happened to get home in time to roll out the dough or shall we say toss the dough. Saturday the ladies went to town for a ladies day out and ushered at the Nutcracker.
Sunday, Joshua shot his second doe in the neck. Way to go Joshua. More meat for the freezer. Thanks Joshua.
