Back home fun!


The first night of vacation, we went to the demolition derby. I have been to one before but it was a first for Afton, Jake, and Mike. Jake was especially amused when the cars got stuck together! Besides the demolition derby, they also had 4 wheeler wars and motorbike barrel racing. Pure down-home entertainment that only a small town can come up with!

My small-hometown has a demolition derby every year at the fair. We never missed it growing up. In fact it is going on this week. I love the derby! Small towns really do come up with some BIG fun!! Glad you all had a good time!

Quick thoughts

So I'm finally up with the times and have my own blog. You'd think if someone was a "webmaster" that they might be current with a full family history...

Now I'm frantically searching my mind for all those clever things my kids did and all those life changing thoughts that would really help all who read my little blog. Nothing.

Just two quick stories about both kids. Maybe then I can feel at ease knowing that my children's lives are adequately documented.

Jake has always been interested in numbers. He loves to ask random people (fellow shoppers at Wal-Mart, those who happen to stop next to us at a red light, etc) what their address is. Finally Jake discovered his life calling when we went through the Wal-Greens drive thru to pick up a prescription. Jake decided he would like to be the teller asking people for their address to verify their getting the correct prescription. We are in the process of getting him a store job application right now.

Afton has profound moments when I realize just how fast she is growing up. This week she saw a little girl walking with just her mom. She pointed at the little girl and said "Ohhh, that little girl doesn't have a brother." Let's just hope she always appreciates that she has a big brother!
