Brickyard 400 and 4 wheeler rides

Sunday, Broc was at the Brickyard 400 race in Indianapolis. When we got home from church and lunch at Grandpa and Grandma's we watched a little bit of the race. Caden wanted to talk to daddy while watching the race. He was so funny. As he was talking on the cell phone, he would be very quiet. He would say "I'm listening to the race cars" and then he would talk to daddy and say "I'm being good daddy."
He continued to do this for about 10 minutes, and probably could have done so a lot longer. I think that he just missed his daddy.



















Later in the afternoon, Grandma came over and gave the kids 4 wheeler rides. They had a lot of fun and talked about the rides the rest of the day!

Our weekend

Broc was gone to the Brickyard 400 race in Indianapolis this weekend, so it was just the kids and I. He left with 5 other guys on Wednesday evening.
Friday we stayed home and did laundry, caught up on some housework, and played.
Saturday, we went to some friend's to play on their home made "slippy slide".

After the water fun, we walked to the park and the kids went down the big curvy slide, (all by themselves) and played on the teeter totters.


























We got home about 6pm. Both kids were beat - so I made a pizza and we watched the Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus Best of Both Worlds Concert. Here is Caden with the 3D glasses on.

Catch up blogger!

Catching up on this past week.
Sunday after church we went to my Grandpa and Grandma for dinner.
Allyson loves to play with Grandma's doll.



















Playing the marble game that Grandpa made.














Broc has spent most of his free time working on the bus to get it ready to go on the trip.
Tuesday evening, the kids finally were able to get a ride in the bus. It was like a dream come true for them. They were so excited to ride the bus. We had just finished baths when daddy came to tell us he could give us a rids on the bus.












As we are riding on the bus, Caden looks at me and says (with a great big smile on his face), "I'm happy!"







Wednesday evening, Dave stopped by to help with the bus, and the kids got to sit in his semi truck. They thought that was great! Thanks Dave!









Caden found a butterfly.

Happy Birthday to Me!

Today was my birthday. I had a good day. I worked and then went to power pace class.
When we got home, my mom and dad came over to paint Allyson's "new room".
We grilled burgers and had donuts with candles. It was a fun birthday!
Thanks to all who helped to make it special!
(Sorry - no pictures of the day! - Can you tell who takes most of the pics in the family?)

DeBoom Reunion

This past Friday evening, there was a DeBoom reunion.
It was neat to see my Grandpa's brothers and sisters.
This is a picture of the group.












Here is me with my Grandpa and Grandma.

Which Disney Princess Are You?

You Are Ariel!

Headstrong and fiesty. You have a mind of your own that's full of romantic dreams about the world around you. Exploring exotic places is your ultimate dream, and although you can be a little naive you'll realize that there is something to be gained from your family's wisdom.

Which Disney Princess Are You?

I have always liked The Little Mermaid. I would say this is pretty true.

Take this quiz yourself and post on your blog which princess you are, or leave a comment to let me know. How fun!
Maybe this comes from Allyson being very into Disney Princesses right now!

DSO-DOO3 challenge

Okay - the title looks kinda funny. Let me explain. In my web surfing, I recently came across this site.
They have weekly challenges to participate in. Well, since I am new to the scrapbooking thing, I decided to try this one. They give you a template for a card, and you create from there. I figured since I have been making cards for over 4 years, I thought this would be right up my alley.
Here is what I came up with.
Design template by RCMama. Kit by DSO "Scrap Journal".

Happy Anniversary!

Broc and I have been married for 9 years today.

Riding the "Weed Wacker"

Last evening, we made a cake and brought it to share with Grandpa Rick and Grandma Kay.
Kyle, Jess, Sam and Tessa were there too - so we all had cake.
The kids loved playing on the swingset together.

Dinosaur Head

Broc is planning to go to the Indianapolis race next weekend. In preparation for this, he is "tuning up" the bus that will make the trip. Every year a group of guys go to this race. The bus is named "The Boar's Nest". You can use your imaginations.
The kids wanted to see in the bus, and they found this "dinosaur head bones". Broc showed them and they really weren't afraid. He then explained that it was really pig head bones.
