Gone Truckin'

Our world here in Blanding revolves around this place....
My dad's shop! My dad is a trucker...well the boss of a trucking company now...and a dang good one! He owns Cosby Trucking Inc. The company started with my Grandpa Cosby, and now is operated by my WHOLE dang family. My mom is the President (another story) and book keeper, my dad is the boss, brother Cody is the safety man, brother Kedrick is a mechanic and driver (little boss:), and my SIL Ashley is another book-keeper. Amazingly they all work pretty well together to keep it all running. Right now they are all busy with a big job with 22 trucks, and 32 drivers. Needless to say my dads mind is always preoccupied.

Today I had some fun at the shop taking pictures.



This truck is old red and white 34, my dad drove this truck when I was a kid. Now it is retired and sits in the back of the shop yard as a "has been trophy". Basically it is my dads baby and he won't get rid of it.

I haven't said much about my dad, but he is one of my heroes. He is a very hard worker and a great example in honesty and integrity. I was very appreciative for my dad when I became stranded or lost somewhere (happens often). He knows everyone and has been everywhere. I love my dad and I am grateful for the time we had to spend here in Blanding.
This picture is classic of my dad. He loves his grand kids...but he loves his dogs most! Especially this grouchy old dog Chico. LOVE YA DAD!

Those are such fun pictures of your Dad and his trucks. I love your parents, and family. It was so fun to see you again in Blanding, I'm glad that you get to be with Darrin again. Also, I love the pictures of the "Nasharoo", I love how Nash is so happy in it!

I didn't know that everyone in the family was in the business, even ashley. I love that picture of your dad with your baby and "his baby" I hope your trip goes well, have fun and drive safe. I'm sure it is great for you to have your husband back, tell Darin hi.

It was fun to have you stop by. We don't mind the drop in either, it's nice-if you don't mind the mess:) Yeah, it is basically only on my forehead. I had a few on my stomach. The doctor was like, I have never seen this on the face before this is amazing- but it is exactly like it, it is usally on the trunk of the body. Leave it to me to be abnormal huh! It is nasty!

I totally remember seeing your dad's "baby" in the front of your house on my home. It made me smile :)
