Call it what you want....

Redneck, country bumpkin', hillbilly, hick, or even white trash. Aly taking a ride. Not as easy as it use to be a few years ago. Abby taking her turn.Alivia "no hands!"

We bought this 1950's Ford tractor about 4 years ago when we had our property in Alamo. We used it a few times but it's been "broken" for awhile now. We went to Alamo Saturday night to spend Sunday with some of my family. Aaron, my step dad, and my grandpa worked on it and after a few hours it was running. Of course, Aaron couldn't wait to start playing in the dirt.

How many people do you know own a tractor named Barbie? Well, the girls named the tractor Barbie after putting Barbie decals on it just after Aaron bought it.

We had a great Easter. We didn't get to go camping since Aaron had to work and had a scouting fundraiser, so we went to Alamo Saturday night. The weather was perfect and the kids had a blast (as usual). I love Alamo in the spring. My mom's yard is the best in town! It's so quiet there and the kids spend the entire time outside just playing.

When friends are like family...





It makes it even harder to say goodbye. Our very good friends packed up and moved to Alaska. It was bad enough when they left our neighborhood and moved to Scumerlin but all the way to ALASKA...come on now! We've been through a lot with them and I can't beleive they actually moved. We watched the kids grow up, several trips to Disneyland, lots of dinners together, birthday parties, Rock Band, and so much more. It is so hard to find good friends. We will miss our good friends but will never forget all the GREAT memories we made with them. See ya in Alaska, Mike and Becca.
