I love it!

Max was so excited to go to the gym tonight because they have kid aerobics and fun classes for them to do. Tonight is zumba and max was so excited he got ready like 3 hours before it was time to go- it was really cute- I loved how he styled his hair :)

Getting his dance moves ready I guess!

slip n' slide fun!

ahhh....

way fun but my poor grass!!

best way to end our road trip to Dallas today- a firework stand!! I've been waiting for the stands to open!!!

This was the first year my kids got to go to a firework stand! They got lots of attention from the old couple running the stand!! The no smoking sign made me laugh... really you need a sign to tell people that :)

Spencer said "there is lots of fire in the sky!"

The boys had a lot of fun and I think they enjoyed the army truck firwork the best... we had a fun day in dallas and ended the trip with a fun firework show!

ok at seeking and just horrible at hiding!

we were laughing so hard at how spencer was playing hide and seek with max. He could not stay quiet or stay hidden!! He would laugh and pop out of every hiding spot we helped him find as soon as he heard max comming :)

the last few fishing trips...the boys have thier own fishing poles now :)

This was the first fishing day with their poles... they love it here! lots of outdoors and fishing is a big big plus for them.

Now that they own their own poles I think Max will never be home!! He told Elbert on every day off he needs to take him to the pond:)

Today Max fished from 9:30-2:30 !! for his age that is a long time! He was proud of his fish and we cooked it up for dinner! He cought this fish all by him self... well he needed a little help. When the bobber went under he went to reeled it in and then he said it's stuck! Elbert said the fish was so big for Max he had to help reel it in- GOOD JOB MAX!

Max's next goal is to catch a fish as big as a house... well in a few days I am sure he will say this fish was that big- ha ha!

Our battle in the kitchen- who can make the best friend green tomatoes!?!?!?

Ok I wanted to try a few different fried green tomatoe recipies... so we had a family cook off... It was great two recipies- two teams. Each team made two batches- one by the recipie and one batch playing with extra seasonings.... it was competitive and lots of fun! We prepared the tomatoes then took them to the judge our way nice neighbor/friend Tom!

Team #1 the monsters- Elbert and Max are ready to make there tomatoes....

Flexing their muscles...they think they are going to win!!

Team #2- the terminators -Me and Spencer-prepared our tomatoes...


We thought we would for sure be #1!!!

We took the platter of samples over to Tom to be the judge...Of course he picked Max's team as the winner! I have to admit there recipie was much better than the one me and spencer picked to try- so that summed it up. Max's team won and is now in our family cook book! Fried Green Tomatoes!!! mmmmm... tasty!
The winning team :) Tom needed his glasses and max brought them to him... he said why is everything fuzzy!? We loved our family cook off..good times!

PLEASE SIGN!!!!

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/182/petition-to-cure-SMA

My friend needs more people to sign this petition this week!!!!!

Long story short- Obama wants to get envolved with health care and he is messing it up for these little kids. There is money allocated to study this desease and he wants to cut it off... plus she is so worried about other stuff he wants to do that will really affect them getting medical supplies and other stuff. It is really sad and she is fighting so hard for her little boy.

SO by signing this petition you are telling Obama and others that we want these kids to have the attention they need and to have people study it.

This is not encouraging stem cell or increased budget- it is saying the money that is there allocate it to these children!

This isn't a blog to discuss Obama lovers vs. haters, but to educate what is going on with health care and a chance for you to help a mom to save her kids life.

THANKS please pass the sight on to others- please!!!

Here is her little boys blog if you want to check it out!!!!!
