It was kids night and the speedway had a candy scramble and a school bus jump. The kids loved it. I was afraid the noise would be too much for them but it didn't even phase them at all. I wish I would have taken my camera. The look on Cadin's face when he saw those race cars was so precious. He thought Lighting McQueen had come to life. The two girly girls really got into it. Uncle Jamie was so proud. They were screaming for the pink 51 car to win. I think every car they wanted to win was pink. LOL. They enjoyed tons of snacks cotton candy, nachos, popcorn, french fries, and pops besides the candy they found in the scramble. Of course they all had to have a racing flags which soon turned into swords. We were at the speedway from 6:30pm to 11pm and not one single fight or tear. The kids loved the playground and would run back and forth to watch the cars zoom by then back to the playground again. It worn them out even the big kids. Everyone was fast asleep by midnight! It was a great night.

Tons of stuff going on!

This is what I woke up to yesterday. I am totally blessed! I went and had lunch with my mom and worked out in the yard. It was a perfect day!

Saturday I had to go into work for a little while we had Open House on Friday & Saturday with a really nice turn out. On Saturday afternoon We went to my cousin's anniversary party she has been married 30 years. We don't see that side of the family much and it was great to get together. Congrats Carla!

Saturday night We went to a free steak dinner given to all the volunteers that helped with the Fish Fry's. It was delicious, especially since my husband and I have joined a Biggest Loser contest. We ate salad all week. I really need to lose weight and get in better shape. My husband lost 14 lbs and I lost 11.5 lbs but we didn't eat very well this past weekend so we are jumping back on the bandwagon today!

My middle son turned 18 on Friday and we did pizza and cake. We went fishing and had a bonfire until we got rained out. I am sick of rain! This is the second time I got soaked from head to toe but I should not complain. My oldest called home from Iraq on Saturday and he said it is 120 degrees night and day. I guess I don't mind getting wet compared to sweating to death.

Well I better get back to work I need to study for my final tomorrow. I have more test and I'm done with school until August. YEAH!!!
