I Like Monster Trucks!

Last night- I went somewhere where I never thought I would go.  I spent a Saturday night at the Monster Truck Nationals!  Originally- I thought that I would suck it up and go because the kids would go crazy for it.  Big Trucks, Loud noise, Motorcross Stunt Bikes and Demolition Derby- a kids dream right?  I had no idea that I would actually have fun!  Seeing the kids scream and squeal was the best- and I had  great time too.  I found myself laughing for the entire night!  We … [Read more...]

The Newest Residents Of Our Home…

So we thought it was a fluke.  We live in the Desert.  And are nowhere near a lake.  But it has been over a week now and I have a feeling we have some new pets- at least for a while.... Brody is sad he can not get close enough to pet them or bring them in his room, but he is being patient.  Just standing by and watching and coming up with names.  Currently he is calling them  "Best Friend"  and  "Best Friend Forever"  No joke! :)   Our newest … [Read more...]

Our Family Quirky Christmas Morning….

No idea now what we did wrong, but that is what you get for cooking after  a long night! Thankfully, my brother jumped in and … [Read more...]
