We will post pictures of our new family car here soon. When we actually get around to taking a picture of it.

Pics of the 4th!

4th of July!

OK I know its a week late but hey get off my back! Well to start off by saying it was for sure one of the best fourth of July's in a very long time! We had our wonderful daughter spend it with us for the first time. We started by going down to Scofield very late Thursday night. It wasn't bad weather or anything it was a little over cast but still very nice up at the lake. Beth and I got up around eight with Lily and just hung out for a little bit. We then got stuff cleaned up and ready for everybody to show up so we can have a wicked family get away. As the day went on we met up with other friends and went down to the lake and did a little fishing and playing in the water on our new kayaks. After playing in the water we went back and got cleaned up and had some hot dogs for dinner it was sooo good roasting the hot dogs over the open flames of our fire. Brad, E. Jay and I went back down to the lake and made our attempt of catching a fish, and came back with nothing. We then went back to the cabin where we all sat around the fire joking around and making the best camp fire treats! Sm'ores. We all got a little tired and went and got ready for bed. The next morning we all got up and again Brad, E. Jay and I went back to the lake to have another go at it vs. the fish... We all again lost horribly. After this I met up with Beth and Gerri for some breakfast down at the Bowery. They had crappy pancakes while I had fresh tasty ones. At this point we head back to the cabin to get showered up and clean to get down to the parade. I must add this... The parade is nothing big. For the most part its just a bunch of people putting whatever they can that is cleaver together and having fun with it. It is and probably will always be the best parade ever in my book. After this we went to the little fair and walked around and got some food. I must say it cost way to much for what I got so I won't even go into details on it. I did get a pulled pork sandwich, chips, and a drink. After our good time at the fair we went back to the cabin to chill out and relax for a bit. After our chilling out and relaxing we all got ready and went to eat down at the Bowery for some good ole sloppy Joe's! As we eat we all played bingo. Beth and didn't win anything from that but we did win a candle smelly thing and a baby blanket from a raffle. Yeah I know we rock! We then went back to the cabin to chill out for a little bit longer when we made some home made ice-cream and watched the fireworks beam off the lake. Heather brought her own music for the fireworks which I don't think anybody could really hear, but it made for a nice touch. We all went to bed and had a rockin night of sleep. The next morning we all got up and just hung out for a little bit while. Just doing stuff that we haven't been able to really squeeze in. Beth and Gerri went out on the canoes. Then E. Jay and I took our turn going out on the canoes where we went out the island and back. It was quit the workout. Then we had Grandma Gerri watch the kids while E. Jay, Amber, Beth, and I went on a nice little four-wheeler ride. It was pretty fun just going out on a nice long ride. After this we all got ready and ended our nice fourth of July weekend!

Cat fight!

OK so it has been a while since I have wrote on here. Well I thought I should share this story with everybody. I am sorry if you are pet friendly but at the same time need to protect yourself. I still think anybody that reads this will enjoy it. To start it off I was playing some guitar hero minding my own business late at night while my two beautiful ladies went to bed. So as I am sitting there I hear the doggy door open then close so I just figured our cat Gonzo came in so I decided to go shut the doggy door to make sure no other friendly neighbors decide to come on in. So I am playing my game and I hear something coming from the kitchen so I go in there and sure enough Gonzo is just jumping up on the chair. Well I go back into the front room to play a tad bit more before I go to bed. Well all of a sudden I hear something down stairs and I know Gonzo is still sleeping in the kitchen. I go down stairs and go into our computer room because I notice that our computer screen is on, so I decide I am going to shut the door to see if I can find whatever it was down there. I couldn't find anything in the first room so I go to the next room which is the laundry room and shut the door behind me. Oh I must let everybody know, but this is the good part! So I start getting a scope out of the room before I start looking. So I looked behind the water softener. Right as I look over out of no where this cat jumps at my face. While in mid air I punched the cat in the side and watched it hit the wall. Then i have never seen a cat go so nuts! In fact it started to jump all over the counter tops and knocking stuff off them. At this point I decide that I am going to try and grab it behind its neck and make it go limp so I can just put it outside. Well that was a no go and it put up a killer fight. So as I am grabbing this stupid cat by the neck it starts clawing the crap out of my arms and sinking its teeth in my arms too. Well that just ticks me off and so I start slamming its little head in the counter hoping to K.O. the cat. That cat was resilient though. So after about five hits to the head I decided to let the cat run around the house to get myself cleaned up and get a tad bit of help. So as my ladies are sleeping I wake up Beth to come help me and I tell her that I am bleeding all over the place and I need some help. Beth's reply to that "I don't care get out of the room" she still says she doesn't remember saying that ha ha. So now I hear the cat in the kitchen freaking out jumping all over the place trying to get out the way it came in. I try and assist it out the door but it won't leave and tries to attack me again so I start punching it again every time it jumps up in the air towards the door. As the cat ran off again I notice my little girls room door is open and so I go in there and turn on the light (Lily doesn't sleep in there yet so no worries about waking her). I am to the point I am willing to kill this cat if I catch it in Lily's room. At this point I turn to look by the dresser and then the cat jumped out at me again, and again this time I kicked the cat in the hind legs. So here I am again with the cat gone hiding somewhere in the house. Now I am desperate so now I wake up my mother in law letting her know also that I am bleeding and there is a cat running loose in this house. So she gets up and decides to help me out to get this stupid cat out of the house. So we turn off the alarm system and open up the sliding glass door. So as I am starting to now go through every room now double checking and closing the doors from behind me making sure this cat is out. As I make my way upstairs my mother in law hands me a broom to get it out when I find it. I took the broom side so I could hit the cat with the handle when I found it, and yes that is what I did. I finally found the cat under the T.V. so I smacked it like eight times before it finally came to an end, and the cat ran out of the house never to be seen again. So the moral of the story is... If you find a cat in your house beat it down until its out then put it outside.

P.S. That isn't the cat but the evil in its eyes is dead on ha ha
