Good Friends...

It's been such a long time since we've visited L and S. They are such GREAT friends. I can't even remember the last time we paid them a visit. Shame on us! Sorry guys. It was really good to see them. They have a new Grandson also and we got to meet him for the first time. How adorable is he? We talked awhile (a little catching up) and went out for dinner. Thanks Guys! Hopefully we can do this again soon. We miss you guys.

Three Days at the Brickyard...

Err..I mean the Allstate 400.

Day 1-Practice Day
We got to see an interview with Jeff Gordon our FAVORITE driver.


Day 2-Qualifications
Our Grandson loves racing (gets this from his Pawpaw) as we were walking up to our seats he looks up at Pawpaw and says "The sweet smell of exhaust" yeah-I think he's hooked.


Day 3-Race Day
Got myself a little tattoo-How bout' them white legs. They hardly ever see the sun.


We also got to go up on the back side of some stands that overlook the garage area. Look what we found!


And last but not least, the Museum. If your ever in town and if you like racing this is a must see. If your a race fan you will love this.

County Fair 7/08...

Well what was supposed to be a Helicoper ride at the county fair ended up not being. It was very hot out and the Helicoper rides didn't start until 4 or 5 P.M. We got there around noon and walked thru the barns to look at the animals. While the guys rested and got a drink my DIL and I walked thru the Poultry Barn. We spotted this funny looking chicken/bird. I wish I could remember the name of it. It looks to me as if it's wearing some kind collar. Very unique!

After we caught up with the guys, they rode a few of the rides. Our Grandson loves the bumper cars as you can tell by the look on his face. All in all we had a great time. Helicopter! Maybe next year.

Baby Shower Favors...

My Sister and Daughter In Law hosted a Baby Shower for my Daughter this month. I wasn't allowed to help out with things, so I thought I'd make a few party favors. They are shaped like sour-cream containers and filled with personalized M&M's, the M&M's are dark pink, red and white and they have the baby's name and It's a Girl on them.

A,B,Cheesecake...

My Grandson will soon be starting Kindergarten so I purchased him a book to practice writing his ABC's. Each time he reaches a certain point in the book I take him to a restaurant of his choice for lunch and dessert. He reached one of those points this month and we went to the CheeseCake Factory. This is the dessert we had, doesn't it look YUMMY:) He is near the end of the book and I am looking forward to our next lunch date.

Baby Jayna in 4D...

I went with my daugher and son-in-law for a 4D ultrasound of Baby Jayna. OMG - it was BEAUTIFUL and has to be one of the neatest thing I've ever seen, other than an actual birth of course. She is always moving around like crazy but of course when we went for this she decided to be still for awhile. She stretched, yawned, opened her eyes, sucked her bottom lip and moved her hands and arms around a little. I could not take my eyes off the TV screen, afraid if I did I might miss something. I look at these pictures everyday and I'm still amazed with them. Do this with your Daughter if you get the chance, I'm sure you will be amazed also. In about 6 weeks Baby Jayna will be here, I think Mom and Dad are ready. I am so happy for them and I know that they will make GREAT parents.

Sunglasses, Watermelon, The Bird & Sparklers...

A few family members came over for the Fourth of July to eat, drink, play a couple of yard games, set off some fireworks and of course we had to try on the Sunglasses that I purchased at Target. The hat was really little favors for the young ones but somehow ended up on my BIL head. All in all we had a great time and hopefully we will do this again next year. I can not for the life of me get a decent picture of fireworks (even when I put the camera in the fireworks mode) so no pictures of them here.

My BIL-he's always acting silly!


Deuce here-looking too cool!


Just me in my Liberty Sunglasses! I thought they were cute!

My Grandson trying out some watermelon-He didn't really like it much!

My daughter (7 Mths. Pregnant) hot and munchin on some good cold watermelon!

Dear Husband it's always something when taking his picture!

My Grandson still not real comfortable with sparklers!
