We decided to keep you all a little more informed on what we do.  Thursday we went to Jakes soccer game.  It was a fun game.  Both teams scored alot.  Jake made alot of our points but in the end we lost by one point.  too bad.

This is after the game.

Friday we went to a rodeo.   They started out with this big Army tank coming out.  Very impressiv

This clown came out to make a hot dog.  In the end a little dog came  running out with a hotdog bun around him. It was cute.  We forgot to take a picture of us but we went with Jake, Liz, Dave, and Jack.  We had a good time.

Dave has been searching the net for a special type of vehicle that would look real neat restored.  He called Friday night and asked if I wanted to go look with him and Ben on Saturday.  We drove up to Perry close to home and found this.  A 1951 JEEP WAGON.  Needs some work, but already in Dave's mind is already complete with a multi colored paint job.  Checking out the net will show what it might look like when finished..
The four clyinder engine looks small but puts out big time.  The engine ran just a couple of months ago and looks good.  Thats not a power steering pump but a pump for the snow plow.  Horn works.
Dave making the big decision checking each part out thoroughly.

Luckily it comes with a lot of spare parts including a good tail gate to replace the old one that is rusted out. 
Dave was able to get a great deal and with the deal the man put it on a trailer and delivered it for no extra charge.  I really like the neat grill.  Dave found on the internet you can get any new part for it. 
Well, that got Ben jealous so he got his Jeep and let the kids drive it.  I was being a spy in the grass taking this shot. 
Don't laugh, won't be too many years and this picture will be real.  All three kids in the picture had a lot of fun.
