Thanks!
thanks guys (girls) for letting me know you're out there :)
is anyone else really sick of this weather- the snow was pretty for a while- but now... not so much. i would really like some time away from snow and cold!!! mom is going to AZ the first week and a half of March- maybe i'll hide in her suitcase.
the only bad part about going to warm weather when it's cold at home is that you have to come back some time- and it's still going to be cold- never the less a break from all this would be great- maybe after the wedding is over i can talk jesse into a short vaca- pack gunner in the car and head for something fun.
any suggestions????

Happy New Year!
Here are the much talked about "Tractor/Pond" pictures.
-Yes Jesse was on the tractor when it went through
-Yes he is OK
-Yes his mom did scream and call him an idiot before asking if he was OK
-No there is not any real damage to the tractor
-Yes he has been back out on the pond with the tractor
*****Just in case you don't know the story... Jesse was plowing the pond with the blade on the lawn mower (aka tractor- since it's a little heftier than your everyday mower). While by the edge (towards the shallow end) he broke through- too far to just drive out of- but not completely under either. He called his dad to come down and help him- with Jesse setting on the tractor (to steer) they started to pull it out with the truck- this caused the tractor to break through further and tip over! Yes with Jesse still on it- Jesse was pinned in the water- not for very long- but none the less he was wet- and cold- and now a little (more) pissed- this is when his mom yelled at him. I called my dad to come out and help- he brought Katie and Eric. Two jerk straps, a few pulls later and they eventually tipped the tractor upright- but then onto the other side- but then were able to pop it out of its hole. They got it back on its wheels and towed to the garage where it sat for several hours with the salamander (heater) blowing on it (thanks Jim for leaving your heater). *****
This was all happening while I was in the house taking down my fake Christmas tree- I knew he had broken through just a little bit and that Bob was helping him- but not until I heard Marcy scream (from out at the far (west) end of pond) did I know he had tipped in the water. She then come up to the house and told me to go out and help.... ????????? what was I going to do?! No she did not really expect me to do anything except go out for moral support- which I gladly did.
Thank you to Katie for taking these pictures with her phone- I knew if I would have taken them I might find myself at the bottom of that pond- if you know what I mean. But she somehow managed to pull it off without Jesse even noticing- or at least he didn't say anything.
She then sent them to me in a text. While on the way to the store for a little stress relief (chew and such), I of course had to send them on to Jim- who called ask me the story- hung up and called to give Jesse a hard time. When I walked back in the house I just heard a really loud THANKS- who else did you send them to? He really wasn't mad at me- it's just one of those things that you think- how did I... why did I... is it going to be ok...
So that my friends was our exciting New Years Eve event!
