4th of July

After the Rain stopped

we made it to Blue Hole. This is the 'watering hole' in

Salina, Oklahoma that everyone likes to visit from time to time.

It was a nice relaxing day for the 4th of July.

The Du Quoin Mile

Last weekend was spent in Du Quoin, Illinois at the Magic Mile racetrack. John won in his class. It was so Hot and Humid. We had Tashauna and Ashlie with us and we would run back and forth from the grand stands to the pit area. Which was probably a good thing after eating all of that junk food. : )

This picture is John on the Mile Track. His steel shoe never touched the ground and he never used the brake, he was On The Gas, all the way around that track. 

Tashauna and Ashlie made their own Tank Tops to cheer on their Favorite Rider.

Paintball

Today I got to play paint ball. This was one of the funnest games I've played in a very long time. I was Arlon, Taylor and Me against 5 teenage boys. I told them to take it easy on me and they complied. I was the last person standing in the final round. I knew nothing about this game so I can say that I wasn't the least bit prepared. I should not have bothered putting on any makeup because playing this game in 90 degree temps caused it all to sweat right into my eyes. Yeah, those paint balls sting a little but the game makes it all worth it. I would do it again at any time, preferably in the fall when its cooler though. LOL

My Brother Frank

My brother passed away April 29, 2009.

He was only 48 years old and he will be missed.

RIP Frank, and I Love You baby Brother.

The Carrot Kid

Cody loves his carrots.

He tried to feed himself

and of course me being

grandma, let him. :)

Playing with the Camera

I was supposed to be getting some pictures of Cody's feet and hands for a scrapbooking project but they just weren't turning out like I wanted. So instead I started playing with the camera and Cody and I managed to get several fun pictures of the little guy.

By the way... Jenny entered the bubble blowing one in a contest. I have family members that take my photos quite often and enter them in contests. Some of them do really good too. :)

Racing

As you all know, I am a huge flattrack race fan. Here is a picture that I got this weekend of John and Bill Snyder on the mile in DuQuoin, Ill.

Braum's

We took them to Braum's and we had plenty of laughs. I am surprised we didn't get kicked out of the place.

So Many Grand Kids....

 What to do with so many kids in one place? Well, you do the best you can to entertain them.

OU Fans

Jason and Amber and the kiddos came out for the big OU/Texas Tech Game and for Thanksgiving. Jason was so excited about this OU Game. That's his team, just ask him. But of course before you go to a OU game you gotta look the part.
