So, the Power is back totally and fully and hopefully permenantly! The computers were off (almost) all day and that meant I needed to find other things to do. Do you know how hard it is to find things to do when it’s just girls in the house and no computers? I’ll say no more. I need to get some work done soon.

Isaac, Dad and Grandpa are back from their “Men’s campout” I think Isaac’s posting about it right now… Dad and Isaac got the power working(with a little tiny bit of help from me :P). It turned out to be a broken wire at one of the main lines! I probably wouldn’t have figured that out and, if I had, I wouldn’t have been able to fix it, cuz one of the little dealies to hold the wires in broke and they had to get a part at the store. So, yay!

I’m amazed this computer is runing right now(and on the internet :O ). The Power is somehow working, but isn’t umm fully working. Like there’s only half the amount of Juice to use right now :P. We don’t have water though, I guess the pump decided to totally shut off. Well, I’m gonna get off now(after I check a few blogs) and stop wasting what power we have :P.

OK, so, if any of you were maybe wondering where I’ve been today… I worked today. You see, it all started this morning(as most days do) when Mary made her way up to our room to tell Isaac he had a call. Well, that call just happened to be Joe who, had just gotten a load of board to drill, last minute, with no drillers to do them! So, he asked Isaac but, Isaac was heading off for a men’s campout with Grandpa and Dad today, tomorrow and the next, so he couldn’t help much. So, he asked me but I wasn’t sure quite yet(I’d just woke up come on!). So, he said no for now, but I decided I might as well, later. So, once I decided yes, Mary got a hold of James and asked him if he wanted to. He decided to as well.

So, I guess to rap things up on that, worked for 4 hours. I made about $30, James made about $50(He’s drilled a lot longer than me). After we got done with that, Joe and his Family took us over to Anna and Caleb’s for Zeke’s 1st Birthday Party!(yes! He’s already one!) James and I got a shower before we did much(bee shop always gets ya covered in dirt). In all it was a good day. I’m tired :).

A couple friends of mine are over in the philippines on a mision trip right now! Just thought you might be interested in seeing the blog and a couple interviews(linked to on the blog) from the mission itself to them.

Well, today, the basement flooded. Yup, I went in to the kitchen to get a glass of water and the water was really low pressure so “uh oh! Pumps having trouble!” And I ran down there. And you know those dreams you have about your basement flooding or your house flodding and you’re floating on your bed? Well this was like thise only a lot less water! So, I ran over to the pump and. just like in those dreams, it’s running and all the water is pouring out aaallll over the ground! So, naturally, I switched the power off to it, not wanting to get electrocuted and also wanting it to stop pouring out all over the ground.

After that, I went upstairs and informed Dad that the basement seemed to have flooded. Which, of course caught his attention and he went and looked! And sure enough, just like I said, yup it’s flooded alright! Only a couple or three inches but still, nonetheless flooded. So, he went around the back door, not wanting to get his feet wet only to find that the back door was locked shut. So, I went around and opened it and he looked around and we went and got the fountain pump to see if it’d do it. Well, not quite good enough to pump it all out. But, we set it going in buckets. Then I was on my own from there. Dad went inside and I went and grabbed the shop vac and sucked up all the water(not with my mouth - with the vacuum!).

Getting through all the stuff floating about my head was hazardous Vacuuming around all that stuff was not real easy and, even now, I’m not entirely sure I got all the water out possible. I’m sure that a lot of the water will evaporate(we opened up the window down there to ensure that). Anyways, the reason for the title of this post(”Who spilled the beans?”), is that, there was a certain container of beans down there which, as you might have guessed, spilled. I’m sure if you were a bag of beans, and two inches of water was underneath you, you’d spill too!

Yes, the unborn one. Well, not exactly new yet! We just found out yesterday that she’s a girl! So, Now I’m gonna have another neice! :D

Well, hello all, this is an update! I’m sitting here now after a rather, umm interesting day, even at home. Not that anything really exciting happened, but it was a nice day anyways… ummm let’s see, Rebecca got a fountain for the yard, along with a bunch of rubber tiles. The tiles are probably for a path. And ummm Anna came over for a little with Zeke. And also, We watched another history of the world mega conference DVD. Highly recomend those to anyone btw(see link Here)!

Stayed at Anna’s till like 11 or so last night. We brought Rachel up to work, then hung out there until she got off work! Mary was looking around YouTube at some video christian vs atheist clips. they were interesting

Anyhow, I guess that’s all for tonight!

Benjamin

so, some friends came by with a stray pup they found and, if no owner is found, one apearantly has been found here! Mom loves little white puppies and, that’s exactly what this is!

Anyways, on to other news… Rachel Posted some pics of Levi sooo go ahead and check those out! Levi Pictures

As Doug Phillips said(in his presentation on the history of the mayans). Just got to see Levi, and he looks a lot like his Daddy. I’m not sure if it’s just all newborns, but I somehow thought he’d be bigger! I’m just getting used to zeke I guess!

Well, the reason for the title of this post, has to do with something of the past. Back when Mary got home from haiti, she brought home three kinds of coffee to try out from there. Not very much mind you, but a few packs of it. Needless to say, all of it was pretty good, but we decided one was better than the rest(actually, one of the kinds we didn’t get a chance to try out because Mary gave it to Minnie’s Dad).

So, naturally, since Minnie just happens to have stayed in Haiti an extra month, Mary tells her to get us a bunch of coffee! And well, she did. We now have enough coffee to last us all year I shouldn’t wonder!

And thus ends the rant on coffee.
