    You sure are a BLESSED man to have a God sent wife like Dayna! You for sure would not of been going home with all the blessings without her beside you. You need to take her every time you go. And bring the kiddos along to help carry. Also bring a good rope so you can draige the heavy stones out with the truck or a winch.... It's fun seeing you kids get blessed... BBE..
