| This is our new family portrait |
We are aspiring rednecks. Every day we get a little bit closer. It all started when we moved to Heber Valley. Jake started listening to country, got a truck, and got a dog. He's even been known to have his shotgun in the truck with him. This is going too far if you ask me. Then we got Tiny. Because we don't live in Tiny, or keep Tiny in our front yard, I feel we're still not fully redneck. Just aspiring. Now we've added another to our family. His name is Jack. He is orange. He is a tractor. If you know tractors, like I unfortunately do, just by hearing the color you'll know its a Kubota. Yes, apparently tractor brands pick a color and stick with it. We choose orange. Due to our status as 'aspiring rednecks', we include Jack in our family fun. That's right, when we need something to do we all head out to take a ride on Jack. The whole family is out there now, whooping up a storm on Jack. Before you mock us, realize that this entertainment costs nothing. Wait, just kidding. This entertainment cost a pretty penny. Feel free to mock us. At least we're happy with the simple things. I'm sure we'll continue aspiring to be rednecks. Next we're building a barn. This, I'm sure, will be followed by getting a dog, chickens, and probably a cow if Jake has his way. In case you were wondering, yes, this is exactly how I pictured my life. Exactly...

My kids, the city cuzins, are really going to want to come visit their country cuzins now. Welcome to the family, Jack!
Cool! I want to ride on Jack!
This is Jake posting. What Laura didn't say is that it's actually a backhoe and not just a tractor. We used it this week to dig gas lines, drain lines, prep a driveway for concrete, lift some huge timbers to a roof that we were installing, and yes, I did drive it right down Main Street in Midway to go get diesel fuel and fit right in. It will be really helpful when we build our new shop/garage that hopefully will start this next week.
