"Superman"????or just Blair

So Blair wanted me to post some pictures of him at Lineman College. These are a few pics of him working on the poles.



This is a manuveur they call the "Superman." It's called this because your back is to the pole and you can lean out like your flying. He's supposedly the only student who can do this manuever. He feels pretty special.

Here he is again doing the same "superman" manuveur while installing EPZ grounds. (I really don't know what those are but he talks about them ALOT!)


This is just a wide photo of their lineman pit. This just shows some of the big transmission lines he works on everyday. Granted they are all "dead" or not energized. So I don't have to worry about a phone call saying my husband went up in smoke that afternoon.

Summer fun and Runaway Wheel Lines!

So I bought the kids a fun little pool to play in this summer. We set it up in my parent's backyard and the kids have enjoyed splashing in it and playing around it. It's fun to be outside and enjoying the sunshine and a little bit of water fun.




So I grew up out in the country surrounded by fields and all sorts of farm items and never had any weirdd incidences. So I'm back living in the country for less than two weeks and I have a small run-in with a wheel line. We had a small windstorm and it must have blown a loose section of wheel line out into the road. Well I didn't see it sticking out into the road until it was too late. luckily my windshield took the brunt of the impact. So be careful all of you country folks. Watch out for those wheel lines!

Cocoa Beach and Florida!

Sorry my computer was having issues and wouldn't let me post all the fun pictures I wanted to from Florida. So heres just a few more of the kids at Cocoa Beach and some more park pictures. Poor Statton he looks so tired in this first picture.





We went to a Character breakfast one morning over at the Polynesian resort. It was so fun to see the characters interact with the kids. They got to eat mickey mouse waffles. Statton didn't like the characters, he would cry when they came over to him. Cassidy could care less and would just keep eating.








This last picture is of Cassidy. We got to the beach and ate lunch and she ended up falling asleep so we laid her on the blanket and covered her up with some towels to protect her from the sun. She had such a tight little grip on the blanket to cover her face because it was slightly windy and she didn't like it blowing on her.
