Oh, Stacy went up to check some fence this morning and just 200 yards or so from our house spotted a mountain lion. Great huh! Makes us all a little nervous.

O.K I am tired.....
Please tell me it is worth it. Saturday we roasted green chile's and froze them. We had a 25 pound bag, yes call me crazy, and we got most of them done. So now I hope like crazy they are not too hot and we can eat them. We also did 4 doz. corn and put it in the freezer. Then today I got 14 pints of salsa done and we have the dehydrator going with a batch of jerky. We needed to clean out our freezer and get ready for the pigs and Bailey loves the jerky. I also picked up more strawberries and raspberries and I need to make jelly with them and with some cherries also. Lucky for me they are frozen so they can wait for another day. I've got all the chairs out of the dinning room and I need to got sweep and mop so that we can walk in the kitchen again. But I am drinking my water with lime and blogging for a quick break. But better hit it again. My feet say NO!

Dalan Teaching US!
2 Corinthians 4:17&18
17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
18 While we look not at the things which are aseen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Bear Lake, Post Storm. Twin Falls
On Saturday we were getting ready to go to Bear Lake to spend a couple of days with Stacy's brothers and sister and families. Stacy's back attacked him and put him basically down. So Sunday we decided not to go to Bear Lake. We didn't know how he would be and I really didn't want to be camping and have him be totally miserable and hurt. So Sunday we were already out of our church obligations so we just stayed low and did nothing and relaxed. Monday came and we kind of did the same nothing, trying to give his back some time to heal. He made a trip to Barkdull and I think it helped. Well Monday night the storm hit that took our crops so we decided to leave Tuesday morning and go to Twin and see my family there. Figured a couple of more days rest would help the back and it was just too plan depressing to stay home. We got back yesterday and we had a great time visiting everyone. The kids are so cute and Macie was so excited to get Bailey's swing. That is all she wanted to do was to swing. So we spent plenty of time out watching her. The weather was wonderful while we were there. I couldn't believe how nice it was for August in Twin. So pleasant, not too hot at all. Stacy didn't even complain, so you know it was cooler than warmer. It was hard to be home today, in fact I think Bailey probably wishes she lived with someone else. Stacy and I have been a little on the grouchy, depressing side. I guess our faith is just being tested. The crops don't look good at all! I hope it all works out some how.?? It is hard to understand.
On to happier things here are some really cute pictures I took of the kids.

Thursday August 5,2010 Bar J Wranglers
Cary, Stephanie and family came and camped up Horseshoe Canyon again. It was so fun to see them and spend some time with them. Thursday we went to Jackson to the Bar J Wranglers. That was so fun, it has been years since we have been there. The food was great, the singers were awesome and it was fun to spend time with the Curtis Crew.

WHY???
 |
| Barley all gone! |
 |
| This is the remaining fall wheat. |
Oh Hail!
This is what it looked like here at the house. It hailed even harder down at the mailbox and elevator. Stacy said there was 3-4 inches of hail in the road.
