Racer training

Nascar has invaded our area!  We are so excited!!!  This evening they had a truck hauler parade.  Now, we’ve all seen semi haulers…not that special.  But, Nascar haulers are painted up fancy like the racecars they carry.  They are beautiful!  So shiny and vibrant.  The weather has been stormy but we braved it and headed out to the Bass Pro to watch as they paraded past.  It was so much fun.  Liam was so excited to see all the big trucks.  And even more excited to hear them honk!  I never knew there was such a variety of truck horns…some quite deafening!  Since Liam was in his Jimmy Johnson fire suit and we were standing right on the curb, several truck drivers and passengers saw him, pointed and wave directly to him.  He was in heaven!

Waiting for the trucks.  The wind was soooo cold it made the poor kid’s eyes tear up.

The boys!

Grandpa Ray came out and we picked up our friend Jacob on the way.

Leader of the pack.

As current Nascar {5 time!!!} champion Jimmy Johnson’s hauler was first.  We sure did cheer for him!  He’s our…..or at least my….favorite!  Not to mention one of the cutest!

Not sure who’s hauler this is but all the chrome was impressive.

We ended the night by going into the Bass Pro Shop.  They sponsor Jamie McMurray so they had a demo car.  It was fun to see it up close.

As we drove home, Liam kept saying, “Let’s go racing!  Tomorrow we go racing!”  They are doing time trials tomorrow, weather permitting.  I’m tempted to head out to the track….with ear muffs for Liam!

Liam loved waving to the Haulers as they drove by.

No more Liam jumping on the bed…

I was supposed to clean house.  Supposed to go to the grocery store.  Supposed to figure out what to make for dinner.  Supposed to do laundry.  Supposed to….. But I didn’t.  I had one of those days where I didn’t want to do anything!  So I took Liam up to his room and took some pictures.  Liam’s room has the best morning light!  So bright and airy.  Of course, 2 year old boys don’t sit nicely and pose for their pictures.  He had to wiggle, squirm, somersault and jump.  So I snapped away.

He did this one all himself!  I was dying!  He told me he wanted to “Sit here!” and patted the window ledge {see previous picture} then he pulled out this pose.  Just too funny!

Blog, blog, photography blog!

I wanted to officially announce that I have started a second blog.  A photography blog!   I have caught the photography bug big time! I have been taking more and more pictures for friends and wanted a place to showcase all the photos.  It is such a creative, expressive and fun outlet.  I love being able to capture just a glimpse into someone else’s life.  To freeze those special moments in time shared between people who love each other.  So pop on over, take a peek, leave a note to say hi! 

On the sidebar to the right is a link to Kimmerella Photography or you can go to www.kimmerellaphoto.com.

I hope you enjoy it!  I sure do!

Splashing in the backyard

The weather has been BEAUTIFUL!   So yesterday afternoon we went out to play in the yard to enjoy a little fun in the sun and a splash in the water table.  The kid and the dog both LOVE the water.

Finner joined in the fun.  He loves to be chased with the hose. 

It’s great, he has fun and gets a quick rinse at the same time!

That’s one happy dog!  He’s running towards the hose!

Just because….

Last night we went to the park, I brought my camera….just because.  It feels like time has been slipping away lately.  Liam grows and changes so quickly.  At times it seems that it all goes too fast.  I want to hit the pause button.  I want to enjoy these moments, these nothing special, just because moments.
