AWW! Babies!

Fun picture; I just wanted to see what the sky would look like.

Just looking upwards!

I felt like trying to see what it was like to be a bug... I guess that's what it looks like?

Just a really big hole.

I just liked it and wanted to take the picture. I have never noticed how neat they were up close.!.

I don't know trees...

One of the random pictures that I took while out walking (mostly sitting) today.

FW:

This the tiny saddle Jake bought for Isabella Ann.

It will be a good time before she can sit in it though. This saddle has small little roses embordered into it. Cutest little thing!

FW:

They look so real!

Duck Duck Goose, anyone?
These are fake too.!.

These are just fake! They are pretty though!

Jake went bird hunting this weekend

The horse shoe that we have had on our porch for awhile. I think that it will be stuck for just a bit more...

I was wondering how long the power lines would hold up if we had too much more ice? You know we have to feel somewhat bad for the grass staying out there in it night and day... Just my little ponder for the day........

Wow! Poor little tractor! Suck in the cold. This picture was not ment to show just the tractor but all of the ice around it and on the tree...

OHHH, boy is it cold!

I think that this picture just shows how dark and gloomy it is outside. But, nice shot of the power lines and the big pile of stuff....

Just out of the front door. I don't know if you can see the all of the ice in this one or not; but, it is there...

This is the pretty little Christmas Tree that I managed to get up. It has red and gold in it with the lights. OH! and candy canes! UMMM.... who doesn't like candy canes!

Again this is my sister, Teresa. We were making evil eyes at each other.

This is my lovely little sister! She came over yesterday and stayed the night to help me make Thanksgiving feast. Ummm Turkey!

This is Janet, a girl that I met this summer in class. She came over and we went to lunch together...

:)

What? I didn't do anything!

Jake

Now, that is not very nice!

This is Jake, in a good mood! Wow can he fly that bird...

This picture is showing us that she is a little girl for sure.

You can see in this picture that she is putting her little arm up to sleep or maybe she is telling us to leave her alone... you decide.

hi

la la la!

Stay tuned...

We have a big surprise announcement to make in a few days regarding our new addition... stay tuned...

Wrapping up the week...Almost.

Well the week is coming to a close almost. We have been staying pretty busy, troy and I finished our stair project, seven sets from 20 to 25 feet long. Now we are building some motor skids for rig 95's draw works. Rig 95 is one we are going to do a lot of refurbing on, they are fixing to move it to Perryton, TX, and Bill gave me another invoice book, so I am guessing we have much road work ahead. I know we are going to be working on 95 a lot in Texas before it comes back into the yard, it may not even be coming back into the yard we might have to do all our work on it on location in Perryton. Well Just wanted to drop a line for everyone, just staying busy, enjoying the cool down today, was nice to have cooler temperatures and some much needed rain! See ya all around the 4th back home... See ya at the next hole...

Jake

Thanks All !

Thanks to everyone for an awesome birthday! I'm glad I got to see everyone, and dad happy fathers day again! It has been a typical Monday brain trying to catch up with the body, still building stairs. Starting to get some of the rock for the yard so hopefully that will help with that sand storms, LOL. I will be trying to get somethin worked up for coming home next weekend for the fourth. The fourth is also terri's (Jameys wife's) birthday. That's about all don't have to much to allow at the moment. I just wanted to say thanks again to everyone, you all mean a lot to me. Every birthday has been a good one compared to the one a couple years ago, LOL. Well I think I will go for now, wanted on the phone, gotta see what Summer wants. Well thanks again everyone, See ya all next time!

Jake

Over half way there!

Well its official hump day is over, the countdown is on! I didn't think an extra week would make a difference but wow, it does! Well spent the day makin sub stairs with Troy, suckers are over 25 feet long. It was a hundred degrees at noon, and the wind was blowin all day, supposed to be gettin 10 loads of rock in next week. Well I am gonna hit the sack, see ya all this weekend!

Jake

Monday Monday

Ah yes Monday Monday, another wonderful Monday. Not a whole lot here today, workin and sweatin and eatin sparks. Started building a set of rig stairs with a v-door that runs along the side. We are still gettin ready for the busy months ahead, started building some shoes for the next for rig 97. Well pretty uneventful here today, maybe have something better for you tomorrow. See ya later

Jake

What a weekend!

That's pretty much sums it up! We thought we would just have a nice little Saturday at the yard, everybody pretty much went back home on Friday, so there were just three of us at the yard yesterday, Brian was gonna let me and Troy take off at noon, but then disaster struck at 10:30am. The safetyman was out at rig 95, after they made a move to a new hole, and wouldn't let them stand it up due to a heckuva whole lot of safety violations, which we had to fix, got there at 11 on a " 4 hour minimum, and guess what, we left there at 7:00pm, a good 12 hour day, that's ok money in the bank. I received a call from Andy Merrill, I know some of you remember drew, he was in town last night, so therefore that meant trouble, lol. We went out to his dads ranch, which used to be the old Sutter Ranch west of Fargo, 14,000 acre ranch, very nice, but while we were out there his older bro Kelly was there, as well as Matt Davis, and his wife who used to come watch us play at chubs, so it was kinda ol home week, three hours from home. So, about 11 we headed into town and met Troy at Roosters here at the Northwestern Inn here in Woodward. Another crazy thing, low and behold who do we see but Kyla Oiler, so it was a pretty cool night, seen lots of folks I haven't seen in years...Literally. Well I am waitin on Troy and Andy to get here so we can throw some pork chops on the ol' grill and have us a good Sunday, the best day, it's our only day off!! =) Well until next time folks, I would start my Dumb*ss of the week award but so far the only one is me, after burning my hand by sitting it down on a plate I had been welding on for an hour and a half, how stupid is that...wait don't answer that! See ya this next weekend, I am ready to come home for a day or two...later ya'll

Jake
