Monster Jam 2011

Tonight we took Daniel and his cousin Zach to Monster Jam. They both loved it. It was loud, smelled like burnt fuel and had lots of cool Monster Trucks. IronMan was the truck that stole their heart as they both love the IronMan movies. I also loved the fact that about 20 minutes of the show was dedicated to honoring our armed forces and our country.

I plan to add to this post tomorrow with lots of pictures and maybe even a video, if they turned out ok.

Goodnight for now… Daddy is tired

A Saturday of Sun, Sand, Strawberries, and Steak

Today was a good Saturday. When I left work on Friday I never imagined I would have a good Saturday as I thought I was going to have work all weekend. We started off the day by sleeping in until 9am and then watching some cartoons with Daniel when we had a suprise visit from my mother and father in law from Floyd, VA! They had just bought them a new car and wanted to test it coming down the mountain. We let Daniel play outside with my sisters for awhile while me and George caught up with things that had been going on.

We then went to get strawberries, a new tank for the grill, and some hamburgers. We all eat and played until about 1pm when the mountain folk had to go. Daniel was very sad afterword… Until we informed him that he would be spending the rest of the afternoon playing with his cousin Zach.

We went to my Mom’s where I had a ton of son duties to perform as Jess, my mom, and sister prepaired the house for her baby shower next weekend. We all had a great time and the boys got super nasty playing in the sand. We had steaks and salad followed by icecream. It was an awesome Saturday.
