Throwback Thursday





I opened up the old pictures folder, and couldn't pick just one.  Both of these are pictures from a family trip to the Tail of the Dragon in June, 2011, where we met up with a bunch of friends (also with families of their own) from a web forum way back when.

First up, we have Maggie and I (and Jack on the inside) by the sign at the bike club. Have you been to the Tail of the Dragon? It's 318 turns in 11 miles on the border of Tennessee and North Carolina. We had met up with the sam peeps a few times before any of us had kids. I remember a trip when Maggie was still on the inside (just a month or so before she was born!).











And here's a great shot of Maggie bumming a ride with our friend Jake, in his Lotus Elise. I still remember her little sweatshirt - it said, "I'm the big sister."







The kids love when we pull out old pictures. They're actually on random as the background screen of our TV. Maybe next week I can come up with some of little Jack.

Throwback Thursday

Maggie and her 'friends.' 
Maggie used to always want to pose with the mannequins, and have me take their picture together. Umm.. Okay! This is from just after Christmas, 2012.

I want to put up something really old, but my scanner is on the fritz right now. Someday...

Monster Truck Jam recap - January 11

I think Maggie's face says it all! And she's wearing her new GraveDigger hat too ;) Everyone loved the Monster Jam on January 11.

Jack was exhausted, and ended up sleeping through part of the show. I figure if you can sleep through the noise of Monster Jam, you really need a nap. Silly boy.

A big group went this year, with hubby and our two kids, as well as a couple of his friends with their kids or friend's kids.

The show was exciting as always, and we're excited to check them out again when they're in town in early spring. Save the date - March 1, 2014 back at Ford Field in Detroit! Yay!!

What a Great Helper!

Last night as we finished up dinner, we all wanted to go out shopping, so we were in a hurry to get everything wrapped up and put away. Unfortunately, the dishwasher first had to be emptied. So as I put away the leftovers from dinner and hubby emptied the bigger dishes from the dishwasher, he handed the silverware tray from the dishwasher and the silverware tray from the drawer to Maggie and instructed her to, "Sort them."

She did.


She sorted them all out of the drawer and back into the dishwasher tray, and was quite pleased with herself for completing the task!

Note to grownups: Need to specify the source and the goal location for sorting from now on!
