Bad Apple Racing

Last night we stopped by Ken & Tiffany's house to pick up a catalog for Tiff's Ultimate Fantasy Party, which is Saturday night! They have "wee wee" shaped suckers - that is excellent!!! If anyone wants to place an order, give me a call (http://www.ultimatefantasiesonline.com/). Anyway - Ken (who has got to be the funniest man alive) races dirt track cars and of course CJ had to see the race car. Once he and Maggie sat in it and had their picture taken, Ken gave them a tire and told them it was off Jeff Gordon's car! That tire is now in the middle of my back yard - nice! Thanks Ken!!

Finally! This has been a loooong short week, but today is the last day of school, Josh is in the office, and all is right with the world.

Memorial Day

Hope everyone had a nice Memorial Day. We did absolutly nothing, well I did nothing. Chris cut the grass - I watched. CJ had school, but I picked him up at 12, much to his dismay, since they were going to play army at recess. Once I convinced him that the boys next door were home, he was more then happy to leave. It was ridiculous - the teacher had 6 out of 19 kids there today! I set up my first slide show, but can't figure out how to make it all one post. Oh well, I'm working on it!

May you always have a friend who can make you smile - even in your dreams.

Check out my Slide Show!

End of School (only 11 weeks til it starts again!!)

Here are some pictures from end of year school parties. Maggie "graduated" from preschool and CJ made it through first grade with MUCH improved behavior and straight A's. I will spare you my opinion on having to have a "ceremony" every time a child does something that should be expected - of course we took off work, showed up with flowers and cameras, etc., what can I say?

Have a great Memorial Day weekend!

My parents were crazy!



I stuck this right between mother and father's day. If you know me at all you know that I have had a life long passion for horses. It seems that I have (not on purpose of course) passed this on to my daughter. The first picture was taken when I was about 14, jumping 5ft, on the back of a $10,000.00+ animal. Now for all you horse people, remember I was 14 - so disregard my hair not tucked under my hat and the apparent bathing suit top I am wearing, but check out that form! Anyway now that I have children of my own I do not know what my parents were thinking!!!! Thanks Mom and Dad - that was/is one of the best experiences of my life.

Greenville

After much unwanted pressure, we (I) decided we should have a blog, so all of our friends can read about our life everyday (cause you know you want to be just like us :-)

We spent this past weekend in Greenville with the in-laws! It was a much needed distraction and the kids loved playing with their cousins. Saturday morning we watched Kellie's (Chris's sister) kids play soccer and ate at Skins (best hot dogs in the world, so they say). Saturday evening the best mother and father in-law in the world watched all of the grandkids so Chris and I could take Kellie out. Let me just say, I have the best husband in the world, because I had a little too much to drink and actually had to go out on the terrace of California Dreaming to get some freah air and remind myself that drinking a martini, a glass of wine and champagne in 20 minutes may not have been such a good idea. He just sat with me and laughed. Once I composed myself Chris thought it would be great to take us to see Ironman - half way through I developed a headache - but the movie was pretty good. These are just random pictures from the weekend, Chris thought it would be cute to take a picture of me licking ice cream off my hand before Maggie figured out Mommy and Daddy got ice cream without her! BTW - if you get a chance you have to try Maggie Moo's and Port City Java. Hope everyone has a great week! L&C
