JR. Dragracing 2012?









Yep, with some great help form a very special friend we got the JR. Dragster going. Robbie and Luke have been practicing driving it in the cul-da-sac with a practice motor in it. Repeatedly going over all the procedures of a actual run in competition. With the help from a couple of sponsor friends we're going to race a few races this season and hopefully take in a car show or two. Lets go racing!

Shannie's soap






I hope this doesn't get out to the soap police, but Shan has set up, and is operating a laundry soap factory here at the house. She has been mass producing laundry soap with a recipe she bootlegged off the internet. It hasn't turned into a sweatshop yet but she did have Luke mixing chemicals the other day. Halfway through production she breaks out her stash of ribbons and labels and apply s them to her recycled water and milk jugs to transform them into "Shannie's Soap". For every five gallon bucket she creates, it makes ten, one gallon jugs of laundry soap. Shan tells me it only costs about ten bucks to make a bucket, that's a dollar per gallon!!! Wow... Great job Shan. As soon as we get our 1-800 phone number going we will be taking orders world wide!

This is Nick


The Nicksters brought this home from school. It is a super cool poster he made about himself. I like his illustrations with some of his answers. He looks good in a beard, and Jet has that same grin as when he steals pop tarts out of the pantry. Nice job Nicky.

Valentines dinner









So this year instead of taking Shan out for Valentines dinner, the boys made her dinner at home. Robbie barbequed chicken, Parks made mac n cheese, Nick busted out his deep fryer and made home made fries, and Luke put together a yummy salad. It was quite the formal dinner with reserve seating at the table. To top the dinner off Shan wipped up a couple sweet deserts. The dinner was a huge success and I think we are going to be doing this more often. Way to go guys!

Spring?






Don't tell our plants it's not Spring yet. We have bulbs blooming and already have five artichokes growing. I do love this time of year, with anticipation of summer on it's way.

Super bowl 2012 table











We had fun with Shannie's chalk board table during the super bowl. Everybody added their own art work, and the outcome was great. Shannie's table has become a ton of fun!
