Talladaga Nights, Baby


We are having a blast this summer. We now have a loooong driveway and the kids can drive their go cart all over. When we bought the go cart it had a governor on it so it would only top out at about 15 mph. Well, we took the governor off and watch out. The race is on!!!!

Caleb got his New Gun

Not my idea of a great toy, but Caleb got his gun. He worked extremely hard for this gun and has wanted it forever. He earned $100 (by mowing lawns) and read a chapter book over 220 pages. (Let me remind you that he had to pay me back for his spending spree at the book fair with the money had earned so far) So now the gun is here and he is getting ready for bird season.
I never saw myself as the kind of mom that had to haul kids around to baseball and football, have a garage full of fishing equipment, hear hunting/shooting stories, and do TONS of laundry because the kids got dirty 10 different times in a day!
I always thought girls would be so fun but some how I am getting a lot of satisfaction out of being a mom to boys!!!!

We moved..........

Good-Bye, Star..... Hello Middleton! We moved, Not far. We literally moved about 10 miles. It was kind of bitter sweet because we built our home in Star. We lived there longer than we have lived anywhere else. We are looking forward to our home in Middleton.
To make a long story short, we owned this house in Middleton for about 1 year. We had a renter in it and all was going great. It is just over 2 acres and fairly bigger than our house in Star. The renter calls one day and explains that he needs to move. In the mean time, our HOA were being a-holes. We were fined constantly for having our boat out to long, a wreath on the door, dogs, ect. The list goes on. We really needed more room. So once our renter decided to leave, we decide to move! Now we will have more room for all our toys, and speaking of toys....... We got a pool. I hope it's not to white trash. Seriously, we have been having a heat wave and I enjoy a dip in the pool every now and again, especially since I won't be out on the wakeboard this year.
And this is just random. Here the boys are helping me with dinner. They certainly are not naturally good in a kitchen. They are clueless! I guess boys will be boys..
