One Long Update... Dial up nightmare...

Sorry it has been a little hectic around here...Tatum went to the eye doc on Friday all was good her eye's are straight so far and her glasses script stayed the same...yeah no money to be spent, gotta love those appointments!!! Friday night Chris left for the track in W. VA to drop off his car for Sat. The plan for us was to meet him at the track Sat afternoon and camp out for that night and Sunday. Friends of ours Jody and Tim and there Kids joined us for our adventure.

As soon as we got to the track Tatum was a mess, it was pretty loud with all the cars and just a lot of chaos. Once qualifying for the day ended she totally settled down, that was until the sun set and the fireworks war started... Eventually she fell asleep in our friends camper and slept through the remainder of them, Thank God!!!!

The next morning when we all woke up an Tatum was in a great mood, this continued throughout the day... Chris is the little black CIVIC ( you can see Tink on the window) LOL number 49 and Kurt is the orange, red, blk and White BMW number 51








I guess it was better for her to ease into the noise then for it to just catch her by surprise. Cars started racing around 9ish so needless to say we were all awake pretty early. A few more of our friends were meeting us up there to see the race, we ended up with quite a crowd...Chris's Sister,Mom an Walt, my Mom and Brent, John and Darin ( so good to see them) and then our group of friends Carol, John their girls Steve and Yvonne their girls and Michelle an Morgan, her daughter seems that the only missing one was Dana and her boys...Scott, her other half came alone. I think all the kids had a great time and the tailgate was a blast.



Both days Chris started the race in 12 and was able to maintain his position, even with a bum clutch, it started slipping towards the end of Sundays race. Kurt, Chris friend that also raced did good too. He had to replace his engine after the first qualifying round on Sat. so started almost last and last for the races....He made up alot of ground and ended up with pretty good races...it was also his 50Th b-day on Sunday. B-days always make a trip more fun ;)

We crashed pretty early Sunday night but not until the even larger firework show was over...I really can not believe that Tatum slept through it especially in a tent...I have been to some pretty amazing firework displays IE: Disney World D.C, on the Forth and I have to admit these were pretty much in the same ball park and lasted alot longer...CRAZY REDNECKS!!!! Gotta Love Em :) They even had old Christmas trees t light on fire...it was nuts...




I came home with the girls on Monday morning, we got home around 11:30.

Kinda sad it was the last day the pool was open so we could not miss that...Chris actually had a better race then the day before, but thank goodness he has a in car camera so we did not miss a beat, LOL...

The pool was great , I am already looking forward to next summer...

I do have to admit though the fall, winter and spring do not bring on nearly the "Mommy juice" so my body is most likely loving it...that is until we remember football season...GO EAGLES!!! OK for Chris' benefit Go Skins! ( notice not as many exclamation points, hahaha)...

Emma started school today and loved it, she got to meet two of her teachers, Miss Holly and Heather, while we were camping over the weekend. We had no idea Chris' Friend Stan had daughters that worked at her same school...I have to admit this made me feel 100% better!!!

Her swimming lessons started yesterday and that too went great, her teacher was so impressed with how much she learned over the summer...Next yr Swim Team here we come...

We are giving dance a brake for the fall, I guess we'll just have to see what the future brings....hmmmm any ideas what to sign Tate up for????

Can you all believe it is almost Friday already!!!!! We have been working on a days of the week song with Em so hopefully she be ready to sing it for you soon, that is unless you would rather hear "The Sun well Come Out Tomorrow" Emma and Tatum's new favorite movie running close with Peter Pan is Annie...These girls are nuts... ,me too ,poor Chris HAHAH.....
By the way LOVE the new Camera!!!!!
