Diamond Backs!

We went to a Diamond Backs game this week. It was alot of fun. Although they lost against the CUBS but we srill had fun. We set in the Home Run Porch It was a blast only a couple of steps for the crip to hop up and down and we had free food and drinks all night. It was fabulous.
Hoke and Diane went with us what a bunch of goofy guys (not Diane ) I snapped this just as Hoke had to cough but it was the only pic of Diane so sorry Hoke.
I think Sterling and Hoke ate 3 or 4 or 5 of everything on the menu. You can tell. Hoke just relaxing yelling for the CUBS! Load em up hit a dinger.
Sterling enjoying the nachos! (they were good)
And of course anybody who knows me knows I love cotton candy so I had to get one. Our sweet waitress ran out and bought me one so I didn't have to get up. What a doll! Oh and we rode that tram thing that was an experience in its self but it was fun met some new people and had a great time. WE picked it up at Sycamore and Main and rode all the way to the ball park. The fun was riding home with everyone else and there dog. I think all of Mesa rode this that night. All in all we had a great time but next time I think we will use the parking pass.

Fire!

Wow! Never a dull moment at our house it seems these days. Wednesday evening a knock came on the door as Sterling was preparing to leave for meetings that the hay stack was on fire. Needles to say it was. Sterling called the fire department and they came and watched it burn. There was 3 squeezes of hay witch was our year supply for the animals here.
This is the pile burning and the fire trucks head lights in the back ground. I didn't think to take pics when it was light out sorry.

After about 3 hours of watching it burn Sterling was in patient and did n't want to wait another 6 hours for it to burn out, so him, Buck, James, Bill, and Bob all helped spread it out while Hoke went and got the water truck and doused it in water . In about 1/2 hour the fire was out. I am so thankful that it was just hay and not our home or animals or anybody else s. The wind was blowing pretty good and amazingly no embers blew any where. This is Buck on the tractor pulling the hay out and I think the tires might be a little melted. Oh well thank heavens for good family and friends for helping. Thanks for the blessings that we have had in this last couple of months. The animals are being moved out to the Ranch, so that will be a bummer not having Cordell, and the gang here.

Accidents!

Well we are having enough accidents at our house. Tuesday Sterling was riding one of his mules and it in a gallop and went down head first and Sterling went with. He put his hands out to catch him but with all the force( and with a 1200 pound mule rolling on you also ) He came out with 2 broken elbows. So her he is he can't feed himself, scratch his nose head or anything, can't hold the phone to his ear,but he can laugh. We both just look at each other and laugh. 2 cripples taking care of each other.
The injured. I hope that we are all done with these darn breaks.
Grandpa with 2 of his boys. Butch and Rocky. Everyone has been very helpful and we appreciate everything escp. Joleen and James , Buck and Meagan. Calli and Heather, and Gina for all the meals and help, running to the store and just being SLAVES. Thank you and we love you!
