Monster Truck Jam 2007







Oh to be a kid again. Ok I really did turn into a kid. We had a blast . We headed out Saturday and met Jackie, Albert , Bricen, Jessica, Troy and Payton at Food lion in Lakewylie at 3:00 to head to the 2007 Monster Truck Jam at Lowes Motor Speedway dirt track. I regret so bad not having our camcorder to record the ooohhhs and awwwwss from those little boys. Their eyes were so big it was priceless. If you took a can of full throttle energy drink you got into a pre pit show for free. You could get up close and personal with the super duper monster trucks. Sage couldn't belive just how big the tires were. He was more amazed at the tires than the trucks.
After the pit show we headed out in the very hot hot hot weather (poor jessica who is 6 months prego) to eat our tailgate food. Troy grilled us hotdogs that were so good. Jackie made up homemade to die for choclate chip cookies and brownies. The boys really didn't care about the food they were just playing on a blanket with their Match box monster trucks. Payton was nice enougth to suprise them with grave digger isn't that sweet?
With a full belly and relaxed we headed up to the track for the race. To see all that dirt is what the boys couldn't belive. Deep down I know Sage was thinking he could get real dirty in that. They started off with dirt track cars racing and crashing that was pretty funny. Then here come the monster trucks all loud and big . You would have thought Sage had been to one of these shows before due to his cheering , screaming and arms waving in the air it was so funny. He just kept screaming Yeah go trucks .
It ended very late and the boys did fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We will definetly be going back again..Sage will make sure of it..

Our little Marli is 5 mths and has 2 teeth :(




Our little angel is growing up way way way to fast. She is rolling over , has 2 teeth etc. Its crazy . Why can't they stay babies longer. She was sleeping all night but as soon as she started teething we have has some restless night of winning in her sleep. But I can't imagine cutting all those teeth either. We love her so much and so does her brother. If she is napping and not in sight he gets so worried. Its cute. I am so happy we decided to have them 2 yrs apart so far so good and in a couple of years they will playing together running around , fighting I can't wait.

House Projects will we ever be 100% finished??







Ok 1/2 way there in getting the inside of the house the way we want it. To do it right you do a little at a time and set goals. Well our first goal was to paint our forier , Living room, and Kitchen. I am totally happy with the way everything tured out. I can't tell you how many times we changed our minds about the colors and we kept going back to the ones that we started off with. The forier is caramel, Living room is coffee and the kitchen is chive all the colors out of our curtains my mother in law made me. Now with all that done we still have a lot more rooms to go and outside yard work that I don't even want to think about :( Just finding time if we could find the time it would be fun. The kids room were the first rooms we did when we bought the house (I wanted them to have cute rooms and be happy in them ) Sage's of couse is very boyish ( per daddy it can't be GAY) ha ha .. Marli's room is beautiful thanks to aunt Shelley for coming into town one weekend to do it while we were pregnant with little miss. After we painted we got our new couch and ottoman delivered and I LOVE IT!!!!!! It has a teflon protection on it to die for... Marli spit up on it and it just wiped right off... Very happy Mommy!!!!
