HITCH

Well it back on another hitch. My one week went by really quick with the padres in town and then class.

All I know is that none of you all have contacted me yet on when you are coming to visit THE Uncle Ben.

We would love to have you.

The Parentals a LA CASA

Well 2-1/2 years later, my parents finally decided to visit their long lost son... Oh wait, I guess they forgot they even had a son named BEN. Its a good thing the grand kids's most favorite, or otherwise "uncle Ben" really would be lost and forgotten.

Well we stayed pretty busy at LA CASA:

Went to the Aztec Ruins:


(The ruins are actually of the pueblo people, not Aztec. The city just got named Aztec. The ruins are similar to that of the pueblo people in mexico, just ours are older, ha ha Mexico.)


Went to the Rig:



Saw some country side:


Instead of snowmobile tracks all over the mountains, there are quad and motorcycle tracks all over.


Any ways, we had lots of good times down here. I think I might even be able to get them back, I have lots of insentives over the other siblings in the family... for instance:

• At my house, they can get a full nights sleep, unlike the grandkids's house.
• At my house, they can get a nap in, unlike the grandkids's house.
• At my house, they get to go ride quads, at the grandkids's house they have to walk the dog.
• At my house they don't have to change diappers!!!!!!! (unlike the other houses)
• At my house mom gets to buy new clothes, at other houses she just seems to get handed clothes to mend.
• At my house its breakfast burritos, the grill, and eating out. At the other houses it cold cereal and Mac & Cheese. (and I even have pickles too)
• At my house mom gets to: 1) sleep in, 2) go to the gym, 3) ride quads, 4) eat brownies, 5) watch movies, and ect. ... At the "others" she doesn't even get to #1 on the list.

So I think it was a good time. We did lots. Mom bought stuff and Dad bought stuff.


Oh and last but not least.. At your houses they have to play with little fake plastic at toys, at LA CASA they get to play with real toys:

Oh yeah, check out the padres, ain't they a sexxy couple!!!!

(Besides they look super young next to the 1000 year old ruins.)

So I think they had a good vacation to the high desert mountain plains of the four-corners New Mexico area, aka San Juan Basin.

For the rest of you all, I have activities planned for ever one, so you all need to come and visit.

THE LOST (but re-found) SON

Congrats April... (for those of you that don't know, April is have #3, another chica; ha ha nick, that will be 3 girls and 0 boys.)

Anyway, I guess I should let everyone know about my exciting news... Meet my latest addition to the fam: I'm still working on a name.

I finally broke down and bought one. Ended up buying it in Riverton, but we did a dealer swap for it down in Denver. So a picked up a new truck w/ 60 miles on it in Riverton, put 500 miles on driving to Denver. Dropped it off, and picked up mine with 20! This is the only pic I have of it right now.

I'm excited.

I'm back at it agian

Well, I'm back at it again. Last hitch was supper crazy. I think I probably only avg 2 hrs maybe 3 hrs of sleep a night.

It was way too short of days off. Went home and worked on the garden for mom and dad. I ended up staying longer because of a couple of snow storms...

So now I'm back at it again. Right now we are on a regular straight hole (w/ a reserve pit). So it has been a nice couple of days, besides the weather.

What do you know, it even snows in New Mexico in April.
