Yep We Are Rednecks

We went to Monster Truck Jam in New Orleans on Saturday night. We were right there with all the other rednecks and I have to say that it actually was fun to watch those big trucks smash the cars and everything else in the way. And Jack? Yeah he was in heaven. I think I had more fun watching him watching the monster trucks. And just in case anybody out there is thinking about attending a Monster Truck Jam, I have two words for you. Ear. Plugs. They will be your best friend. Below you can see we forked out $20 for Jack to get a pair of tire ear muffs.




Grave Digger flying through the air. Oh yeah and we had to buy a Hot Wheel Grave Digger for the boy. Yep we are raising a redneck for sure.








The outing was also our first family trip with our new addition to our family. Brandi came to live with us last Thursday. The adjustment is going well. She is going to school and is opening up more and more to us. She has been craving a family for so long that it is fun to see her relaxing and loving to be part of our family. Jack is also loving having another big sister around. He was talking her ear off in her room the other night as she was settling in. I am just very happy that we are able to help her and hopefully be a positive influence in her life.

I'm sure that you'll have a great impact on Brandi's life...you already have by letting her be a part of your family! :)

Thanks also for stopping by the "new place"!!

Dawn your dad and his minister are heading towards Daytona Beach to watch Chad race. You can just see how Jack loves the big trucks running over each other. So happy about Brandi coming to live with you and Jim. Great for her to have a Christian family to take her into their homee. I am so happy for all of you.
