I felt the need to say that. I talked to Isaac today, he’s been having a good time in CA. Uncle Dan and him went around touring the city. He said it was fun!

Martha’s getting closer and closer to having her baby too! So, keep her in your prayers please! The girls haven’t been home hardly at all, because either they’re gone to work or gone to Martha’s! They are home some though, and that’s nice.

Mary started work at Papa Johns a couple days ago. Just training right now… she chopped up tomatoes for 3 hours then came home the other day :P.

Me and Dad are the only guys home now! It’s been interesting really! Not much has been happening though :P.

We went to FIGIO last night and it was really good! Me and Dad only got there for the last hour though. first off, Anna took me over to her house because, I wanted a hair cut and Dad and Mary were gonna come in a “little bit” to help fix Anna and Calebs water! Well, on the way to Anna and Calebs place, Anna stopped at fruitland business center to fill out some papers. I sayed out in the car for what seemed like a very long time! probably was. Anyways, after that, Anna took me over to her house, I got out and Anna called Caleb over from off his horse, and he asked me if I’d ride the horse, so I did. and Anna took him off to sign MORE papers!

So, I just walked the horse around with James for a while and talked to him. He wants me to make him a website. I dunno what’ll come of that. He wants to sell his horse! If anyone’s interested… $3000, kid broke good horse. :). Anyways, and then after Anna finally got back, I got off the horse and went inside to get a haircut! That didn’t take too long and I tried to get the water fixed but, as I was out searching for a hose seal, Dad finally showed up with Mary! So, then we went about fixing it and, after a trip to Home Depot(which, we found wasn’t necessary) and a little handiman work and jury rigging, we got it fixed for the time being and headed off to figio!

The person speaking was Walter Brown on the Hydroplate theory! It was really good! Even though we only got in for the alst hour, it was verry interesting .

So, that was yesterday, bye!!

Sunday was Eric P’s Birthday. Our Family, and The Eicher Family was all invited over to the parma baseball diamond to play softball that afternoon at 4. So, at about…. 3:15 Lynda called over asking if we were comming/anybody was on their way there, and of course, nobody had gone quite yet so the answer was no. Though, I didn’t say that even though I was the person who picked up the phone! Noooo, I asked her if she wanted to talk to Rebecca(who just happened to by walking by asking who it was!) and, of course, she said “sure”! After Rebecca got off the phone with Lynda, Her and Mary proceeded to go down there to see if we needed to bring what we made(well, it was food for afterwards…) then or later. He said later, because we would be eating at their house and this would be at the baseball diamond(as I mentioned earlier!). Meanwhile, basically it’s just guys home at this time, for, Rachel and Mom had gone to town to get groceries or something of that nature. Why is this significant? well, it’s not unless you count not having a car for a few minutes. After a while all the girls got home(within a couple minutes of eachother, I think they met in town), and we headed off to the baseball diamond(after we gathered up a couple folding chairs for Mom and Dad.). When we got there, the Eichers hadn’t arrived. So, we decided to just play for a while anyways(we weren’t sure if they were really comming anyways). So, we just played with enough to have three bases, pitcher, catcher, outfielder and a batter(a lot of times no outfielder). It was fun! Eventually Isaac came up with the idea to just make all the basemen rotate so that everyone would get a turn eventually. That worked out pretty well for a while, and then after an hour or two, I was(and I think everybody else was) about ready to call it quits when, guess what we see rounding the corner? The Eichers Van! yay! They pulled in to the parking area and everybody quickly piled out of the van. Everybody out on the field. No teams yet! We just played batting for a while, then after a few, asigned teams. It was really fun. For the most part of the game, we were ahead. But in the last inning, I think they scored about 20 points :|(what happened??) so, needless to say, we lost! We played a bit more after that, and then all departed, all tired. We played for about 4 hours out there…. After that, we headed over to Eric and Lynda’s house for dinner!(Eichers didn’t go. They had to get back to New Plymouth) Boy were we hungry!(at least I was) Eric was Barbacueing hamburger. It was all very good! I only had one helping and I was full… I just drank tea and lemonaid after that(that is, until we got out to the car…). Anna and Caleb left for home first, then we just talked in the living room for a while and headed home.(and I had a brownie in the car :P) The End. oh, I was very sore yesterday. Not really all the much today, but yesterday was bad! That’s all for now folks!! Benjamin

Today Grandma and Grandpa took us out to eat at the Golden Corral. But I’ll get to that after I explain a few other things :). Rachel, Rebecca and Mom are all gone with Anna to CA!(that probably includes zeke with her!) So, they left early this morning(before I woke anyways, not necessarily early! lol!). I didn’t get a chance to say goodbye, but Mom called back later and I did then :). Anyways, the house has been quiet around here since they left! The only girl in the house is Mary… So, it’s interesting!
I got on this morning, around 8:30. Did a few things on the comp and off the comp. Then I chatted some. Then grandma and Grandpa came over. So I got off, and around 1, we headed out to Golden Corral! No, I didn’t overly stuff myself(what a sin eh?). Though, I did eat a good portion. Anyways, after that, we stopped by Grandma and Grandpa’s fifth wheel and their new one is pretty big compared to their last one. It has a tip out. Grandma and Grandpa gave Isaac and Mary their b-day gifts as well, because of past birthdays they missed(they already sent me my gift in the mail).
So, after we got home(Grandma and Grandpa just dropped us off), not much happened. I talked to Dad, and then played my accordion, then got online. It’s kinda taken me a while to write this post(I keep getting distracted.), but hey, I posted… I should post some pics or something sometime soon… see y’all! Benjamin

6:25 in the morning, I’m up. Early for me, I dunno about some of you… But moving on… I haven’t really been able to put much of an entry in lately, so, I’ll try and remember a few things in this post. Mary’s been home for a while it seems, about 3 or 4 tuesdays ago. It was great seeing her again, she was really hyper when she got home though. At Denver airport, she had stopped in at a coffee shop and gotten a double shot americano, and then made friends with the coffee shop owners, so they gave her a free one. So, when she was on the plane from there to here, she was wide awake! After she got here, she said she had a headache, but was really excited so she went through all her stuff and unpacked it and we all stayed up till about 2-2:30.

After that, is a sorta blur on my memory now. I did this and that all through it. Nothing too interesting that I can remember. The neasham anual easter celebration happpened in there. That was very fun. If anyone reading this blog ever plans on visiting here, around then would probably be the best time. First, everybody just has a lunch, then we sing. Then after the prayer, we all go outside and smash eggs(loaded with confetti, not with the traditional innards of an egg) on eachothers heads :), and after egg smashing, we typicly go out and play shooting games. Doug from figio was there, he said next year he was bringing his wife because he had so much fun.

Let’s see… oh yes, the night before the neasham celebration, we went over to the scotts to visit. We had a good time, Nathan beat me at chess… I’m generally better than that at chess, but I’m way rusty. He said he was too, but I guess I just rusted faster! Turns out Ariel is learning accordion too. Nice to see people picking up good instruments :D.

Let’s see… what else should I speak of? hmmm… The yard hasn’t been looking quite as well as this spring. It never does during the summer. In fact, it will probably just shrivel up and die. Oh well.
We drained out the pressure tank the other day. Now the water pressure is all nice now. It’s a lot nicer. Though, we still need to fix/get a new irrigation pump, this will help for now.

Hmmm… The other day we went over to some friends of ours house to play cards. That was fun. More than just the card part, but it was fun :D.

Well, I guess that’s all for now folks!
