Sigh...

Has it been that long?? I suppose it has... Oh well, life, you know? I really have nothing to post, but I'm tired of looking at that last post, so I'll give you some pictures of the Air Show we went to last weekend... :)

Tanner in one of the helicopters on display...

Taylor and Carolyn...

I think this was inside of a C5, massive planes I might add... Believe it or not, I used to repair hydraulics on these...

The kiddoes...

Our intention was to stay and watch the Blue Angels, but you couldn't park on the base and had to take a bus to the show. The Blue Angels performed last of course, and we decided we did NOT want to wait in the massive lines once it was over to get back to our vehicle, so yeah, we stayed for about two hours... Now it's off to breakfast and to pick up something Tanner is buying off of Craigslist with his birthday $$, hopefully that works out...

Before And After...

This is the before shot... :)

This is the after shot...

Kids trying to see who can build the biggest fire... :)

So yeah, that's what we have been doing all day. We are going to have a garden next year, a BIG one! Carolyn will can some green beans, and whatever else we grow, so hopefully we will be eating like kings next year! I'll have to build a fence around the area, but we are excited about it! I've already ordered the seed catalogs, the soil is rich, so here's to a good harvest next year after our work... :) Now it's time for bed!!!

Day At The Fair...

Left early this AM (well, if you call 9:20 early) so we could get in free (saved $30 by doing that) at the fair... The kids were so excited. I keep hearing about the economy being bad, and I know it is, but there were a boatload of people there just throwing money away on everything that goes along with most fairs, rides, games, food, etc, etc... Must not be as bad here in North GA as some places... Luckily! Anyway, the kids had a blast, and Carolyn and I did as well...

Taylor with her face painted...

Chance, Tanner and Taylor... This is the only pic I have of Chance and Tanner, because the moment we got there, they ran off with their friend Cody and I never saw them unless Tanner called me because they needed $$... :)

Taylor and I on a ride, and yes, I am well aware of the fact that I look ridiculous in a hat, but I won it and got tired of carrying it around... :) I gave the hat to Tanner the next time I saw him...

Taylor at the petting zoo. This year, they had all sorts of animals there, including elephants and tigers. We were going to stay for the tiger show, but the kids were ready to leave by 3:00 (thankfully!!)

Taylor and I riding the carousel... Which is why the boys went off by themselves... :) Taylor is not interested in riding all the "scary" rides, so I rode the rides she wanted to ride with her. Carolyn rode a few rides in the beginning when the rides were free, but she isn't much on riding them either. All in all, had a good time. Glad to be home now eating and watching the UT game with Carolyn, which is something I don't normally do... :)

Happy Birthday Tanner!!

The party participants!

If you are wondering where all the presents are, Tanner wanted a dirt bike, a new helmet and a new Xbox 360, so none of the presents are here yet... :) So Tanner is anxiously awaiting next week when he gets it all... :)
