Moving????

Okay so it is true. We are planning on moving to one of the apartments at Alan's work. At first we didn't like the idea of living on site because we have this wonderful house that is in the woods next to the river and a large pond but now we are thinking that it would be good for us.

We are going to be able to go back to school and be a lot closer to everything. We are thinking that by living on site we will be able to help our mother earth by not using as much gas and we will be helping out the company by having someone on site.

Okay but the real reason is to save money and to go back to school. We will be only about five minutes from campus and downtown. Plus it will be a lot cheaper rent and no utilities so double bonus.

Stacy will be going back to school first and after a while Alan will go and get it done. Stacy is looking into Social Work for her major and Anthropology as a minor. Alan is planning on going into nursing. We are thinking that Stacy could be able to graduate with a bachelors in two to three years. Alan would be able to do the RN progam in about the same amount of time. Nothing is set in stone right now until we work out all of the details and logistics of the process but we will keep everyone in the loop and let you all know what the final plans are and when the change will be coming. Until that time nothing is changing.

Oh the Beauty of NATURE

So this has been a very exciting and happening week. On Wednesday we went with Alan's work and residents to watch an Idaho Stampede basketball game. It's not bad getting paid to go on a date night. We got court side seats and ten dollars worth of food each. Why can't we always get paid to do things like that?

On our way to the store on Saturday we were able to watch as a graceful eagle majestically soared over our heads with a large fish grasped in its large and powerful talons. Shortly after we saw a loving mother goose with her newly hatched baby balls of fluff standing beside the pond along the road way. Later in the day after helping with an alternator problem, we decided to go for a fish. Upon arrival of said pond we watched as a large (ten to fifteen pounds or even larger) grass carp jumped out of the water after some little bugs a few times in a row. We had a couple of visiting fishermen at the pond with us but they were unlucky and did not catch anything. We however were very skilled and were able to fight and prevail over the fish. We caught a total of five before calling it a day. Oh and did I mention that it was all with flyrods and not the traditional spinner rods?

Our largest prize of the day was a five pound Smallmouth Bass that put up a real good fight and did not want to be caught. He was pulled in and photographed to ensure that everyone is able to see just what we are all about.

Weekend Sillyness . . . Silliness? Silleeeenessss

We were walking around downtown the other day and it was too hot for hoody's so . . . there was MUCH skipping involved.

Alan's been remodeling some apartments at his work. They look so good! Plus he got to use a cool paint sprayer machine . . .

Fuzzy Antics

Okay so here are some videos of our little ones.

Slinky loves to climb up on Diesel's back and itch his head. He could probably achieve flight with how fast his tail goes every time she comes near him.

We understand that everyone else might not be as excited about watching three minutes of this . . . but come on. It's cute. This is a larger and older Diesel going nuts over a laser pointer. Like a cat.

Stuff and Things

So we obviously already are WAY better at this blog than the last one . . . right? Anyway, here are some updates on what we've been up to.

Earlier this month we went to the Xtreme Fight Show with a girl I work with. It's not boxing because boxing is boring. It's mixed martial arts which means you can kick, punch, throw down, choke out, grapple, wrestle, throw knees and elbows, slap . . . as long as you don't hit any special areas and keep the action going you are good.

We saw one guy get completely knocked out within 30 seconds of the first round. There was another fight with a huge comeback. Another guy ruined everything by doing several illegal blows, and the last fight was grapple only which was really cool. I'm pretty sure one of the fighters was just getting a piggy back ride for most of the fight.

Anyway, it was nice to get out and about and enjoy some good old-fashioned mma.

Last night we had to call the cops because we hard a really obnoxious alarm going off. They came buy to check it out. We think someone has been trying to break in to our landlord's property next to our house. They didn't find anything, but we had the gun sitting out for a few hours just in case anything happened. It was a little frightening.

Alan has been really excited about customizing his mosin nagant rifle. He got a scope rail and rings so he can attach that, and he's planning on getting a new stock and other things for it too.

I am looking forward to getting a mountain bike soon so that we can take full advantage of the area we live in and get some good exercise in.

Um . . . I don't know what else to write about now so I will post some pictures.

Don't tell Diesel we took this picture . . . we were having too much fun messing with the built in picture frames on my camera. Mwah ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Tucker always tries to steal the puppy food. He'll grab six little pieces of the kibble and run off with them.

We were making mini-pizzas last night and when I cut open this red pepper there was a baby GREEN pepper inside of it! AHHHH!!! It was actually really juicy and delicious. But freaky.

Alan's new hair cut! He went from a shaved head, to a mohawk, to really long hair with the remnants of a mohawk, to the new fauxhawk.

The Furocious Beast

The new addition!
