Dr. Zachary and Mr. Hyde or so it may seem with these few pictures.Pic #1 Just got in the car This 1st one is Zach with his calm relaxed look. Not worried, Right? Pic #2 30 min into drive Tension builds the longer he sits. Can he sit still for a whole hour? He's feeling the tension can you tell? Im going crazy here. Nothing to read, nothing to do. Lets see here, no entertainment, no intellectual stimulation and you want me to sit still? ARE YOU CRAZY???? Pic #3 45 min into drive Let me out! I cant take it anymore! Pic #4 were there

Now you've done it.

Say hello to Mr. Nasty

Some cool fun stuff for Josh

Maddy's Pic

Madison has been wanting to put something on here. So, I told her to make a picture.

And here it is.

We are kinda slow...

Hi, looks like people are getting this thing figured out, I hope I do. Things are going good for our family. Callin is getting busy with the spraying again, it is finally getting warm and the farmers are getting things going. I am back at work, and things are going well for me there. Darby is so busy, and learns new tricks just about everyday it seems. She has the cutest costume for dance, which she just loves. Her costume has a great big, hot pink tutu. No wonder she loves it! She is sick right now with the cruddy fever and chest congestion that is going around. Jakoby is getting so big! Her cheeks are so big that they jiggle when you burp her, and they are so heavy, she doesn't close her mouth when she is just sitting there. She is starting to laugh, and that is a lot of fun. She is so ticklish! She must get that from her daddy, but she is a gassy little thing. She even farts while she's eating. She is a good baby though, and really sticks to her routine making things really nice. We'll get some pictures on here soon!

Hey Y'all!

Well, It's nice to start hearing from a few people. Josh, that picture of you after being out for a couple of weeks - yeah, I think I could smell the musk wafting off of you. Ick! Tyson and Carrie, the boys are so cute - as usual - and growing up so fast! Mom and dad, we are all "impatiently" waiting for pictures from Hawaii to be posted. If you need help scanning and posting - call Megan! ha ha - I'm sure she'd be happy to help. Hope everyone remember to Spring Forward! Everyone should know I finally know what I want to be when I grown up. For everyone's info - I took a crash course in computers - Excel, Access, PowerPoint, Word, etc. I can type 75 WPM, and my 10 -key is 170 KPM. I hadn't ever taken 10-key. So, for my final presentation I was doing research on jobs. During this last run-in with the law and so forth I learned a lot of things. And a lot of good things have come about from this. I noticed a woman up there typing, typing away and wondered about her, well I researched her and found out they don't use regular keyboards. I thought HEY! I can type fast, I can do that. But first I have to learn this shorthand stuff on a shorthand machine. I called Boise to find out how to get licensed and they said they will license a person if they go to a school approved by the National Court Reporter's Association. There isn't any schools in Idaho for this. There actually was one in Boise, but they closed it down a couple of months ago - my luck. So there is only one school - in Indiana. It will be a HECK of a commute - but, I'll probably end up using the "Information Highway" to get there cause it's the only online school that is approved by the "NCRA" and I'll probably get a lot less tickets on that "Highway". It is an 85 credit course - and it costs $240 per credit, so anyone who is willing to donate - you know our mailing address - No, I am looking for scholarships and grants that might be available and have been talking to my Vocational Rehab counselor because they are helping me get back into the work force, they might help me find a PT job also. I cannot believe Megan will be 15. HOLY CRAP! That'll make me turning what, 28? Yeah, I think that's about right. Spring break is right after this week. That will be nice. Oh yeah, and also I have been taking intro to Quikbooks 1 night a week- I figure that will help me get a job in the meantime while I'm earning my degree. It's almost time to start yard work aaaaaaaaahhh! I believe we plan on planting at least 1/3 of the garden area into grass. I think we'd like to put a cement slap out back there by the firepit kind of for the swim pool that doesn't hold air or water anymore. That would be for the kids. But, I don't think we could afford it. At least not this year. School and all - commuting and stuff - teenagers, 1 of which is driving! Campaign is almost over out at the Sugar Factory, but Wes will still be on shift for juice run, which will go on until the first part of July. Wes informed me that this year they are "REALLY SERIOUS" this year about not taking any vacation from the second week in July until the middle of August until they start juice run again. Wes's 'whole' summer. So, I guess we'd better already be thinking about vacation, so he can sign off! Well, sometime soon hopefully we're supposed to get a scanner! So we can scan some pictures! Wes has his 7 days off the same time the kids have their spring vacation SO we will probably end up taking everything out of Madison's room and tearing up the carpet and sanding the floor down and then staining and varnishing it or whatever and then finally finishing decorating it. The carpet is so awful, cause whoever painted in there spilled the paint in some places so it's kind of hard and crusty, gee, I wonder who that could have been. (it was me) I think that will be pretty awesome, then I might get her one of those princess rugs that are kind of big. That will be fun. AND our room finally has all of that nasty flowery wallpaper off. So, we just need to patch to walls where we gouged getting the paper off, Wes will put in a new window, and we will paint, it creme and green. I finally decorated the "brown room" which I sometimes call the family room. It's done in a fishing scheme. It's fun! Now it just needs a blind, instead of the sheet. Wes is kind of tired of the draped look. Well, That's the 411 on us! Hope to hear more from all of you! Love to all! Steph

Hi Finally!

Hi Everybody! Guess what! I couldn't figure out how to post my blob! I know that is hard to believe, but it's true. SOOOOOOOOO Megan took pity on me and got me started!! Not much news going on here though. Just dad and me gettin' older and, oh yeah, your dad's getting stinkier while he's getting older! Don't tell him I said that. Dad took our little Mantis tiller out today and used it around the house where it wasn't too muddy. It works great! He was able to chew thru bulbs, tree roots, pieces of foundation, and even our rock hard dirt. He played in the dirt for hours!! We decided this was a great gift that we gave each other. I don't care if I get a turn to use it though. I think I will give all my turns to dad! We are talking about doing some different things around the yard since it has been years since we have done anything different with our yard. Who knows----that Mantis tiller tilled up grass really goood, too so dad might turn up the whole yard with it! The weather here is getting warmer now and I for one am glad. I was having a hard time adjusting to the freezing cold after our few days in Hawaii! Can you believe Megan is turning 15??!!!!!!!! I can't! I think there should be a rule against this!!! She is getting so tall she is looking down on me now. Some things are not fair! I was glad to hear you made it to the portapotty Josh! If you were wondering what you had in your ruck for toilet paper I would be worrying what you would have used!!! Hopefully not your dirty socks! Only 12 miles??? I could have gone-----say----maybe----- ONE!!!! And that is only after a LOT of huffing and puffing!!! Keep up the good work Josh! Tomorrow, dad is going to Prineville, OR. for meetings. He will be back late Wed. night. They are driving instead of flying so will be gone a couple of extra days than usual. He has been fighting the gout since we came home from Hawaii so he better watch what he eats while he is gone. The Dr. now has him on 3 different medicines to help with gout. Something will work eventually I guess. Take care everyone!!! Love you all!!!! MOM and DAD

Whats goin on with everyone?

Hello. I just thought that i would see what everyone else is up to? I had to do a 12 mile ruck march yesterday. It was great fun. Except that i had to run out of formation about mile 4 to utilize a portapotty. Good thing it was there casue i was trying to remember what i was packing and would have been able to use as toilet paper. Then i had to run about 3/4 of a mile with my 52 lb ruck on to catch up with the group. Finished the 12 miles in 2hours and 45 minutes. Thats about all the excitment that ive had. Hey Tyson and Carrie what is the name of the town where you're now residing? Just wonderin? Joshua Jones

Wat is up^ again

Hey all of y'all howz it going for u guys well it is all pretty gosh darn good for me but yeah. Well i hope everything is going good no GREAT for everyone i luv ya and cant wait for the next time i see every body, Klutz
