JB's Yardcare Mascot

Horrible picture but I was so excited I caught him (Brant didn't think I had it in me)
Brant and I had an exciting night mowing! We were on our way home and had to stop to turn off some sprinklers. Brant opened the valve box and there was a SALAMANDER!!! Of course Brant challenged me to catch it and i took him up on his offer.... I was too slow and missed him. Darn! Brant told me he had seen another one over at his work across the street, we went over there to catch that one and he was way too fast! I was so disappointed that I didn't catch one. We stopped and got gas and I begged Brant to go back and see if he was out again. He gave in! I opened the valve box and he was out, I couldn't mess around this time. I stuck my hand in there and I looked at Brant and said "OH HE IS IN THERE... AND I GOT HIM!" We took him and gave him a new home in Brants valve box! Brant also came up with a great name for him. Sax! We are so excited to have a mascot! Whoo for a fun night mowing!

We also stopped by my dads and look what we found in the backyard! 2 huge bucks! We sat there for about 15 minutes watching them and they didnt seem to mind one bit!

Camping & Parade

We had a fun camping trip with the Bells this weekend! We couldnt believe that summer was halfway over and we hadn't been camping yet. It was fun to get the tent out, roast marsmallows, ride four wheelers and play games by the fire!

Summer Fun!

For the 4th of July I thought it would be fun to have a barbeque up in the mountains and watch all the fireworks in the valley. I rounded up the family and we headed up. It was good to get out of the city and enjoy the outdoors. Even though we got kick off the mountain about a half an hour before the fireworks we had a great time! Thanks for going along with my idea!
