Old John Deere Mower

This old mower has been a good one but it is finally done limping along as a lawnmower.  It’s now officially a go-kart.  Sure, Landon can barely reach the pedal, but he drives it fairly well.  Dad was over and you can see his car where they got hit outside of Weiser.

Show Me Your Mad Face

This little man wants to know where his mom is…or maybe he just likes punching dad.

Alexia and Hailey Learn to Use the Scroll Saw

With Kim in Ecuador, the kids are looking to dad for the activities.  Not surprisingly, we ended up in the shop.  Lexi printed out letters which we glued onto pieces of wood for cutting.  They did a great job and painted them back in the house.

Chicken Food…Kind Of

There is never a shortage of mice around the animal feed and we managed to catch these little guys in the horse trailer.  Since Landon is obsessed with dinosaurs, I had been telling him that our chickens are like raptors, which of course he didn’t believe.  To prove my point we tossed the mice into the chickens’ pen.  With fury, the chickens attacked and gobbled up the mice,  just like raptors.  Object lessons and entertainment you can only find on a farm.

Balloon Fun At Texas Roadhouse

When we got to Texas Roadhouse we found out it was family night and they had a guy going around making balloon animals for the kids.  He asked each of them a few questions and then confirmed what they would like him to create.  They variety was impressive and the kids enjoyed it.  You’ll notice there’s Perception Tribe SOT kayak on the top of our Suburban, this was a boat that Drake wanted to buy and we picked it up at Sportsman’s Warehouse for $400.  Drake’s portion was $200.

Back to AZ to Work at Solight

We put in a lot of time but it was great to see all of the light towers up, ready for final testing.

We tried to find a few scorpions while the family was down here but it was still too cold for them to be out.  With it getting hot, we saw several.  It’s crazy how they light up under black light.
