Today I am at work again and looking forward to a few days off. I am hoping to cut back to 1-2 days a week. Insurance....can't live without it......but can barely afford it. This is the main reason I am working right now.
In Asthon there are some fun mountain bike trails just out our front door. The only problem is that some of the trails are so overgrown. The family ventured out to cut down old trees, clean the path of large rocks, and try to make it rideable. Cooper even joined in on the fun! Soon, we will have a fun loop that the whole fam can ride.
We went to the local outdoor pool IN ASHTON the other day (Rexburg needs to get with the times). The kids had fun, but were a little shy because they did not know anyone. I met some great people there and had a good time chatting with them in my turtle neck and long black pants. When does that baby fat disappear? We asked our neighbor Caleb if he would like to join us. He gladly accepted and was thrilled to have the company. He is an only child and stays home by himself all summer long. We have invited him over many times for lunch and just to hang. He was telling me about a monster rattlesnake that he found in his back yard rock pile. It totally freaked me out! I went straight out to the yard and cut all of the weeds with the mower and weed wacker. All but 4.5 acres left to go. I am also investing in about 30 cats to calm the rodent population so the snakes stay away from my yard. Max is such a great guard dog though......yah right, he runs away with his tail between his legs when he sees a stink bug. Did I tell you that Max impregnated the neighbors dog? The neighbors left there dog home for the weekend with nobody to watch after her. Of course the dog was in heat. She came prancing through our yard with her pink spike collar and Max was all over that brown beauty. Now he won't have a thing to do with her. Is this a male thing, or what? Glad to be back blogging....so much to say.
