Practice #1

Practice went good today. If anyone wants more in-depth details, you will have to talk to Stevie. He told me that he was happy with the way his car ran, and that was a good enough answer for me! Technicalities about race cars are WAY over this blond head!! Those of you that need more than a "yeah, it ran pretty good," need to consult the driver!

Just wanted to post a couple pics. We are beat. Stevie was up until the wee hours last night and up early this morning. My eyeballs are about to fall out because they are itching sooooooo bad from all the yuck floating in the air. Buzzy is so tired, he has retired to his room without a fight and has not made a noise since he's been there - other than requesting a drink. Happy weekend!














What race car? I have a kite! Now that's special!!
















The "Crew". Look pretty tough, huh?















"You run 50 laps your way, and then we gonna run 50 laps my way." Which one is making that statement?

More Pictures from Practice #1

Could someone help this guy figure out which way to go!















He got it figured out!!
















"I'm telling you Daddy, this duct tape with fix anything!"

Buzzy's Friend

Chandler is Buzzy's favorite friend. They have so much fun together and get along so well. She is Chandra's niece. She sits in front of us at church and she and Buzzy always have a good time. She sits with us or he sits with them and they color and draw and eat. He is always wanting to go to Chandler's house. She has a basement full of toys and it's just heavenly to him. She came over with her Daddy on Monday. Since it's gotten warm, her and Buzzy can play outside while their Daddy's do their racing things! They had stopped by the mill before they came to our house and Mimi had sent pudding cups for her and Buzzy. They had their snack in the garage and then came storming through my front door, ready for some swinging!

Still here....

Just wanted to post to let those concerned know that we are still alive and well. I have gotten a couple "why aren't you posting?" questions, so this is for you. You know who you are!!

Buzzy had strep throat last week and now has a wonderfully runny nose! Thought that those tubes were going to solve all of our sickness problems, but well.

The weather here has been spectacular! Almost a little too hot, a little too soon, but can't you always find something to complain about? Buzzy was a great helper again this weekend. We pine-needled the front flower bed on Saturday. Thanks to Daddy, we had a great supply of pine needles at our convenience!

I must now go and do my most un-favorite thing in the world...clean this house that is beginning to look like we do actually live on Cleaton Road! Once it's clean, we will be back at 211 Wolf Creek Estates!! After that and the child is good and awake and fed, more yard work!! Steve will be soooo happy to gather more pine needles! HEE HEE!

Signs of Spring

You know the weather is getting warm when Buzz-Wuz starts peeling off the clothes!! He helped Mimi wash her truck today. She said that he insisted on filling up his swimming pool too, only to shiver all over when he stuck a foot in. Needless to say, the pool didn't last long!!

He has been taking advantage of the warm weather. He wants to be out all day and then he sleeps so good at night!! We are all ready for warm weather. That means flowers for me and racing for Stevie!! His car is painted and it looks really good. Red and white. Not sure what kind of decals he's putting on it yet, but when it's all done, I'll post a picture of it!

Have a good week, and cross your fingers for the weather to stay awhile!!

Ear Report

Just wanted to let everyone know that the ear procedure went great. Buzzy did not shed one tear and was a perfect gentleman the whole time we were there. They ended up doing just the tubes in his ears. The adnoids were fine. He got to leave his pajamas on the whole time. That was good since he made it clear to me and the nurse that he was not putting on a gown!! He was quite the comic after they gave him the "don't care" medicine! He kind of reminded me of his Daddy when he used to drink his "feel good" beverages!!!

He went into surgery about 10:10am and was back in the room with us by about 10:40. We were in the truck and on our way home just a few minutes after 11:00! Steve and I stopped to get something to eat at Steak N Shake. We sat in the truck so Buzzy woudn't have to get out. Buzzy didn't want anything when we ordered, but before we were back on the road, he was finishing off my french fries, eating chicken strips, and watching Stuart Little! He came home and had a good nap, and he's been wide open all evening.

We went to supper at Huddle House and he ate almost his whole waffle and all but just a few crumbs of his bacon! He's been telling me that everything is too loud this afternoon! The Dr. said that he would be hearing much better now. She said he had lots of fluid behind his eardrums that had an egg-yolkish consistency.

We're so glad that everything went well and our little one is, hopefully, going to be ear infection free for awhile!!

Artist Jr.

The picture says it all! He is into scrapbooking, painting, and making any kind of craft! He loves childrens church because of the crafts. I think he's a great artist!!!

An Artist is Born

We had a little visitor yesterday. "That Baby" came and stayed with us yesterday. Buzzy has finally learned her name and called her Amberwynn all day! I must say, two little ones was quite a difference than one. Buzzy's only child syndrome was obvious!! He just wasn't accustomed to another little one being here when he got up and playing with his stuff. He could handle her playing with his stuff, but his pillow was another story!! He is ATTACHED to that pillow and did not want her near it and, of course, she wanted HIS pillow. I even got her a cute animal one off of his bed. Nope, she wanted his!! Their visit went well, I just needed a whistle and a black and white referree shirt from time to time!! I am so upset, because my batteries for my camera were dead and I didn't get one picture of them all day. It didn't help that I was painting most of the time too=)!!

I am LUVIN' this painting stuff. I have gone paint crazy. I like it maybe a smidget better than scrapbooking - Sorry K & Carol! I still am going to scrapbook, I just am going to save it for when i get together with my scissor sisters. Our church is supposed to be having a Scrapbook Day one Saturday a month, so I will get bunches done on those days...hopefully!

Mom and I saw a brush box at our class the other night. They make them in the more advanced classes, so we were all about finding a box to paint for our brushes. Well...of course, they don't make the boxes anymore. I found these cute little remote holders at Hobby Lobby. They have a lazy suzanne on the bottom and I called it a brush box!! I painted one for myself (see below) and was so excited that I painted Mom's for her too. Her's turned out much better than mine. The more I practice the better I get. I know by the end of my beginner class, I will definately be having stuff published in art magazines!!! Doesn't hurt to dream!!



This was the very first thing that I painted after my first class. I am going to redo Buzz Ashley's bathroom. I have already hung his new shower curtain and he has a cute little lion rug. I painted these little pics to hang over his potty. I was really proud of them. IF I get really confident, I am going to paint a giraffe on his wall. Notice the "if" is in all caps!!!






This is my little brush box. It's okay, but I like Mom's a lot better. I might have to redo it. I think it would also work good for scrapbook stuff.

Like I said, I am LUVIN' this painting. We are doing bird houses this week and next week, we are painting on ceramic tiles. I will post all my projects!!
