Mud Bog

Scott and I and some of our best friends went out Friday night in our friends truck he just bought for $400! Can you believe it? $400 and the truck runs! Anyway, our friend wanted to try it out so we left the house and found some muddy trails in the woods and went cruising. We had a good time but ended up getting stuck in the mud on our way out. So the boys called someone to come and pull us out. It was a lot of fun, I am a little bummed that I didn't have my camera with me cause I would have had some fun pictures.

The next day Scott and I went to a mud bog with the same friends and their kids. I have been once before but it was a little more "cityfied" than this one. Let me tell you it was couuuuntry. But we had a blast watching trucks trying to get through the mud. So here are some other trucks going through the mud, and the camero of coarse :)

Washer and Dryer

Scott went out and bought us a washer and dryer for our new house. We had to get new ones because our laundry room can only hold a stackable washer and dryer, otherwise we would have had to do some major remodeling. Luckily the guy that we bought the house from let us borrow his until we could get new ones. I had no idea these high efficiency machines were stackable! We were so glad cause we wanted the front loaders if we were going to spend the money on them. Anyway, I have had them for a week and they are absolutely amazing! I love them

The red ones were actually like $30 cheaper than the silver ones so we got some classy red ones;)

Pictures-NASCAR & Labor day

I have been off of work for a week so I have not updated my blog, so here are some pictures from the actual race and pictures from our Labor day get together at my house:) I also got a new washer and dryer and I will post pictures of that tomorrow:)

Our Group

Scott and I

I took my brother Kent cause I thought he would enjoy going, and his birthday was in 3 days so it doubled up as a nice birthday date:) We got him the hat he is wearing in this picture with a matching shirt. It was Dale Earnhart's number since it was his sponsor that we got the tickets from. He ended up finishing in 3rd place. And Kent had a blast!

I just think this is the cutest picture! I told Scott he looks like a daddy:)

Race Tickets

Yesterday morning Scott texted me and asked if he could buy some NASCAR tickets. He has been asking to get them for almost two weeks now. I told him he could, but we had friends coming over for the weekend and he had to figure out what we wanted to do. Well, he decided not to buy them, and he was a little down cause he wanted to go so bad.

It just happened that when the doctor I work for got back from lunch, he walked to the grocerie store and saw a trailer with a race car in it. He got back to the office and said the man at the trailer was giving away free race tickets if you bought any Degree product. So I walked down there to see what was going on. And sure enough he said to buy some degree and he would give me tickets. So I bought 3 and he gave me 3 tickets. I asked if there was anyway I could get more, and he said he was not supposed to, but he would give me 2 more, so I went back in the store and got some more deoderant. And I got 2 more tickets! I was so excited because I knew Scott was going to flip out. I bought five degree deoderants for around $17.00 and got 5 $50 tickets! And the guy gave us a box of V12 deoderant and a Dale Jr. poster.

So When I got home I set the Dale poster up in our bedroom and taped 1 ticket to the front (I was trying to be a little trickster) to surprise Scott. Well he got home and I made him close his eyes and led him into the bedroom. And sure enough, he was so happy, excited and giddy (after I gave him the other 4).

Here's my set up in our sitting room

Leading him into the bedroom...

First sighting of Dale! hahaha

Tickets

This is the picture I took with Scott's phone and he sent to his boss, because she said that he wouldnt go. Looks like he likes the poster huh.

This was so much fun to surprise him with something he wanted so bad! I am so grateful that I got so lucky. He deserved it all the way for how hard he has been working:)

This is GREAT!

Love him or hate him, he sure hits the nail on the head with this!

Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.
Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it!
Rule 2: The world doesn't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.
Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.
Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.
Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.
Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.
Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.
Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.
Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.
Rule 10

Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

If you agree, pass it on.

Family Fun

My sister and her family came to my house the other day, so I wanted to post some pictures. We went out to eat at a steak house and they had trivia night going, and it was such a blast. We ended up with no points because we took the double or nothing challenge!hahaha. It was the funnest time I have had with my sister in a long time, we laughed and cried so hard it was great. Enjoy the pictures:)

Damien wouldn't look at the camera and here he was trying to not laugh
