Keeping Busy

We have been keeping busy. We finally got Trents truck back. Runs real good. It just needed a minor adjustment. On my way home from Kingman Candice called to see if I would go with her to Pahrump and pick up 2 pot bellied pigs. We got there about 9pm, had to CATCH them, which took about an hour, then drove home. Im sure it was hilarious seeing us try and catch them. they were in a LARGE pin and they are super agile. I finally caught the little one and wore the big fat one right out so he could be cought. Candice has a "mini" pot belly at home and he is as big as the big one we just got. She didnt realize that there is a difference between a pot belly and a mini pot belly.....kind of funny.

These are the pigs from Pahrump in my moms yard.
Earlier that day she bought 2 little girl pigs (Regular pigs, from the pig farm here in Vegas) they got along really well and they are all so cute. Suprisingly, the smaller, cuter pigs are totally stinky!
Thursday May 22nd we got up and canned 100 lbs of potatoes at my moms house. Yeah, thats a lot of potatoes, but we have decided to work on food storage since it seems to be on both of our minds and the economy is going down hill fast. The potatoes were on sale at a local mexican grocery store for $1.47 per 10lb bag so.

Candice, turning on the little portable stove. Christina being a big helper. She helped put the
cut ones in the bottles.



I didnt want to put my own pic up, but its real
Life that I look like this.
FYI 100 lbs makes 84 quarts.

What is WRONG with this family?! I'm fairly certain pigs will be of NO use while we hit another economic depression.
