Bristol Race 2009- Another fun year!

We must have been on the wrong side of the tracks. All of these 5th wheel campers, buses, and huge campers were pulling in all over and these were our neighbors! A TENT! With a Caravan minivan. Two men camped out there...

Oh, yeah, then we went to all the races- Thursday, Friday & Saturday night.


And then there was this silly motorcycle game in the Nationwide tent.
IT WAS HARD!! I am planning on taking the basic motorcycle course in October and if it's ANYTHING like this game I'm NOT gonna make it through! Gary did say this was hard too.


I picked up a few aprons at the Martha White tent. You know I bake soooo much...these will come in handy though at Christmas when the kids and I make cookies. Actually, Angie needed one. She does LOVE to cook/bake. She kept bringing out a different food item for each meal. Lucky for us she stayed up ALL night the day before we left to keep us in yummy food and jello shots! Thanks Ang! You rock!



Gary & Lindy and Jeff & Kent were in a cornhole tourney...it was fun but they didn't win the grand prize. Good form Gary!~


Yes, some how I got SOAKED!!! Felt good though!

When it's this hot water fights are the way to go...Lindy getting everyone with his power squirter. This was after we rode the tram around for an hour, got water dumped on us by some campers and then snuck back to dump ice cold coolers of water on them! Fun,fun!


Oh, and then there were jello shots...yum Lisa...Angie makes some awesome shots!




Some of us decided to rest this day...it was HOT!
Gary & Stormy (Angie's dog)


Lisa, Angie, Marilyn, Bob & Jeff headed to pick up some goodies at the vendor's area.

Yeh, I did the "grandma" thing!

So I traded it in for this cute little thing...the Saturn Vue. It had a $3000. rebate and we also traded in our old 98 Jeep as a clunker for $3500. , then with my step-dad's GM discount for $2300. we got a pretty good deal!


"Zoom, zoom, zoom" is OVER! Good bye to my little Mazda RX8....Grandma needs more room! That may help me NOT get another speeding ticket also. I've had TWO this summer. Shhhhhhhhh...don't tell the insurance guy!

Eight Family Garage Sale in Milan

I made $16.00...but spent $98. Humm, that's not so good. Well, I may not have sold much but I found lots of little boy toys. Maxton and Marcus are going to have FUN at our house!


Ok, it's been a LONG day. Let's have some fun!

The kids with their lemonade stand. I think they made more money that I did!


My sis preparing for the day. I didn't have many items, didn't take me as long to price them.



We had a beautful day for a sale! Look at all the stuff!

Marcus has his first cereal....yum!

Yep, I'll have more tomorrow!

Mom & Dad must think I'm pretty hot stuff! They keep laughing and smiling at me.

Hummmmm...I guess I like it! How 'bout some more?



Open wide baby! This stuff's good!

Happy Four Month Birthday Marcus!

Gramps, get outta my chair! You're too big! That's for little guys like me!


Hey this chair is comfy! All I need now is a remote and I'll look just like my Daddy & Grandpa!

Yep, I'm so happy! Thanks Mom for reminding me how old I am! You rock!


Now that my bath is over let's celebrate my four month birthday!
