Monster Trucks

We made our annual trip down to atlanta on sat. for the monster trucks. HB was of course too young to go. Luckily I have good friends and got a great babysitter in her AJ to watch her. I didn't want to leave her behind, but I knew she was in good hands. The show was good as always, actually better this time because they cut out a lot of the filler they usually include. There was massive air and even more crashes. We got some good hot chocolate to warm us up after having to walk a mile in the freezing cold weather. It was a lot of fun to get out for while and join all the rednecks in the`ir oasis...

Snow in Loganville

We got a little snow misting in Loganville this past week. Not enough to play in and it came in the middle of the night. I wanted to get HB out there and see it and capture a few pics in her first snow. She didn't know what to make of it, and probably cause it was too cold to even think! Here are the couple that I got...

7 Months

My baby girl is now 7 months old and I can not even believe that those words are coming out of my mouth already. She wants so badly to be a big girl already, which makes it even harder to watch her grow so fast. She still hasn't quite mastered the art of crawling, which I am both anxious to happen and also glad has not happened yet. I know that once she gets going, there will be no stopping her. At this point she just wabbles and does what looks like a push up.. haha. She hasn't figured out that to crawl, she has to move her arms to get going. She has everything but that down. She is still saying "da da da da da" all the time, and now says "na na na" when she is upset, which I think is a version of "mama" ;) In the past 3 days she has master the art of saying "ut oh". The very first time she was sitting in her Exersaucer and dropped one of her toys and I said Ut oh and she said it right back the exact same way. Now she says it over and over and it is very funny. We can't always get her to do it, but we def. know when she is saying it.

I am happy to report that we now have a food loving baby!! It took quite a while for her to get use to it, but mommy hung in there and kept trying and now she LOVES all her food. We started with fruits, which I know some people maybe skeptic about, but the doctor recommened this to help her get the taste for it. Her favorite so far is bananas. I have now started indrucing more than fruits, green beans, sweet potatoes, and two days ago mac n cheese. I mixed it with a little apple sauce first so she would like it. It worked and she now loves her mac n cheese! It is funny to watch her eat cause she opens her mouth real big and leans into the spoon. She also loves her puffs. They are like little fast dissolving crackers... she could eat the whole jug. We are looking forward to the new year and all it has to bring.

Happy New Year

We had a very happy and cold New Year. We headed out to Pigeon Forge the Tuesday before New Years. Unfort we did not check into ALL of the road conditions. We had called ahead to the mountain and heard that it was not recommended for bigger passenger cars to travel through. Since we were pulling the camper, we decided to go around the mountain. We got within 2 or 3 miles of our exit and found out that I40 was completely shut down because of a rock slide that covered both sides of the road. At this point we were set in for a long road ahead. Needless to say we left right at 1 that afternoon and we didn't actually pull into the camp site until 9:30 that night. I do believe that is one of the longest trips that we have had to PF. Once we got there it was FREEZING!!! We of course hit the stores shopping that first morning. I didn't find as many good deals as I was hoping for. I did get a couple of dresses for HB for next Christmas. On New Years Eve we had a few flurries, but nothing like we thought we would get. It was 25 for the high that day and very breezy. It was going down to the teens at night. We decided to watch a movie that night to tick away the time. It was longer than expected, so we turned the channel to Dick Clark with about 20 seconds to go. Everyone stole a new year's kiss, finished the movie, and then got a late night start to bed. After being gone for almost a week, we were glad to be back home and in our own beds. Hope that everyone has had a good start to the New Year! :)

Dad's Sermons

During the race season dad preached at each race we were at. Everyone enjoyed his sermons so much that they requested he do an online sermon during the off season. He just did his first one and has posted it to their website, www.garnerracing.blogspot.com, and I have also posted it below. He is going to try and do at least one a month if not more than that. The video is about 23 mins long, so click and view it when you have a little time. We hope you enjoy it and are able to take something from it.

Have a Happy New Year!!
