Wow, What Happened to Summer


Oh Say Can you See......
Where did the summer go?

What happened to my weekly Tuesday updates on this Blog?

Gone are the days.

So, last night at 2 AM, yes, 2 AM! I hear "MMMMMMOooooooooooMMMMMm!"
Huh? DJ must be up. I better make sure he is okay.
Yep, he's up, yep, he's okay.
I lay him down again, since he was standing up and I give him something to drink.
Well, the drink went flying and he yelled "NNNNNNNNooooooooooo!"
Hmm, guess DJ is not okay.
So I take him in the living room in order to avoid waking everyone else.
He's WIDE AWAKE! Wide flippin' awake.
Yep, Peyton showed up within 10 minutes to join the fun.
So yes, I would love to get that time frame from 2AM to 4:30AM back and sleep through it!!

DJ says "Mom", "DA DA", "NO", "Don't", "More", "Ball" and "Duck"

He has the essentials covered I guess.


Chillin at the waterpark with the Tylenol.
DJ got three shots the morning we went to the waterpark.
Tough Guy!

Peyton loved the waterpark.
Emma, Megan, Jo & Kahlan joined us for the day.

We showed the truck down in Rochester at the 4 Wheel Drive Jamboree.
Took home "Best Modified Ford" honors!
A long long long time ago, Cam told me he would marry me if Bigfoot drove us away from the wedding.
So, a long long time ago, I confronted Dan Runte (Bigfoot Driver) and told him I needed his help.
I explained the situation. He understood. But never showed up!
So, to my surprise, at the Jamboree I was standing with Cam at the rules meeting for the show and there stood the man himself. Dan Runte. At the Bigfoot merchandise booth.
So I casually walk over and ask the people in the booth if Bigfoot would be over in our area at all for photo opportunities.
Dan Runte steps in and I look at him and say
"Don't even talk to me, I am mad at you!"
He looked concerned and scared, "Uh oh, what did I do"
Me: "Well, Fifteen Years ago...."
Runte: "Oh no"
Me: "I told you my boyfriend wouldn't marry me unless you drove us away from the church"
Runte: "You were in Dresser, WI weren't you!"
Sidebar: Holy Crap, He Remembers!!
Me: "Yes, and now here I am two kids later (the kids were with me) and I am still not married!"
Runte: "Are you kidding, he really wouldn't marry you??"
Me: "Nah, I got him drunk and tricked him, we are married now"
Everyone is laughing at this point.
Some more random conversation and then we were on our way over with the pull truck to take some pics with Bigfoot!! The Original Bigfoot to top it off!!

Peyton and DJ check out the huge tire and rim to be sure it is race ready.

A once in a lifetime shot here. Wow, way cool.
We will never ever see this opportunity again.
Checking out the front end.
Two classics. Even the Bigfoot guys came out to check out the pull truck. They oogled.
Hmmmm.....a crown.....what do I do with this??
Will it make me beautiful or gorgeous?

What happened?
Where is my little girl?

Last night: Peyton asked "Daddy, do you have any money?"
Cam: Yes, why?
Peyton: Runs away from him and says to Mom "Mommy! Daddy has money! Now we can go to the State Fair"
There have been so many stories that I can't even start to put them on paper, but I already wish I have.

Such as our wash machine experience:
We are paying for our new wash machine a couple weeks ago.
Peyton is sitting at the counter while we pay.
She looks at the sales guy and says
"I'm gonna kick your ass"
Oh boy, sorry, oops, who taught her that!!!
We were at a pull a couple weeks ago,
she walks up to a kid and says
"My engine is FAST!"
Happy Birthday Baby Girl!
I love you!
