Cedar Point- August 2009

"Wow, I can dunk it!"

Then after Cedar Point we went back to Aunt Lisa's house and played a little b-ball. "I'm getting really good at this Dad!"

"Plezzzzzzzzz give me more of that blue stufff!!! That stuff rocks!" He loved Grandma's blue slushy so much! He kept wanting more.

"Daddy, I love the train."

"Let me get in that water Mommy!!! Adriana make her let gooooo of me!!"

Most of the bunch... Josh & Katie went off to ride a few rides. Adriana, Matt, Laci, Maxton & I went to "Kids Land" lol

"I'm gonna hold on Daddy! This horse is TALL!" Giddy-up, giddy-up...

"Grandma lets me drive! Gesh! I am one cool kid!"

"This is pretty cool Mom & Dad! Can I drive?"

Maxton in Charlie Brown's pumpkin patch. "How do I get outta here?"

The world must be ending...GARY STAYED HOME FROM GOLF LEAGUE TONIGHT!!!

So, yeah, the shocker was he didn't go to golf tonight!!!! OMG!!! His back hurt and it was raining too. Glad to have you home honey!

A little practice baby?

See ya' around 7:30!!

If you know my husband then you know that he looks like this quite often in the summer months! Yes, this is GOLF wear...

He golfs in league on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and then any other day that the "guys" ask. Sometimes he golfs 4-5 times a week. I'm sure for retired people that is wonderful but really honey...don't you MISS me? hehehe Luv ya!

My boys...Maxton & Marcus

Mommy & Marcus watching tv. Looks like somebody's ready for a nap!

Celebrating another birthday...5 months! Wow! Happy birthday baby!

Our big boy Marcus is growing. He's eating "real" food now...loves banaas too! He doesn't slap them in his hair yet though! hehe

Mommy & Maxton reading a book.

And when you say "smile". This is what you get...Mr. Squinty-eyes. lol

I'm not sure why, but Maxton likes to put his bananas in his hair. Actually any food will do. Silly kid!

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!
