My boys are racers. Right now, its just with electronic cars!
Seriously though, Spring is here in St Louis and the boys took thier electric Pontiac Solstics out for a spin. Spencer of course had to wear his SImpson Racing Helmet- you know, just in case. Leyton is a very good navigator.

I think they will make an excellent Ralley Racing Team once they get old enough to drive a gas powered car!

Whoaa!

Whoaa!

Right as I rounded the corner on a 4+ mile hike, I saw this guy getting some sun. After I cleaned my pants, I took some pictures. Then patient waited for him to leave the area so that I could walk, no run, back to the car... another 2 miles away!

It's a Diamondback Rattlesnake, a good 4 feet long and probably around 4+ inches in diameter at his thickest part. Those are just guesses, I didn't get a chance to put the measuring stick to him.

Never once did he shake his rattlers at me. Never once did I start crying. We all made out well in the end.

Tucked deep in central Georgia is property that friends of the family own. They get to look out at this every morning, how awesome is that! The leaves of early fall are just starting to turn colors. I can't wait until the water warms up a bit, so next time I can take a swim.

Mymamma's 75th Birthday

This past weekend, if you followed me on Facebook or Twitter (and who shouldn't!) you probably noticed that I took the boys across the country from St Louis to central Georgia for a special trip. We loaded up on Airtran for my grand-mothers 75th birthday party.

It was a grand time, seeing old family, and meeting new spouses and kids. Spencer and Leyton had a blast traveling and seeing their grand-parents while getting to know 'new cousins' as Spencer put it.

In the end, we had a long and tiring trip- but boys (and more importantly) dad s

urvived the trip.
