Thunderslam 2009!

So... today marked a first in our lives. Bryan, I, and Carter were spectators at Thunderslam. What is Thunderslam, you ask? Let me educate you.

First you take the body of a basic truck. Let's say a Ford F-150. You multiply the normal horsepower by nearly 4 times, put the body on a GIANT frame, get a really LOUD exhaust system and you have "THUNDERSLAM" (aka) Monster Truck Racing. I never thought it would be something I would enjoy, but let me tell you, it was very impressive. We had an awesome time with our friends and their kids. Some of these pictures are priceless. Carter was such a great little boy and he had NO nap.

Regardless of the stereotype that goes along with this sport, there is much skill and talent that goes along with it. I didn't see one person in bib overalls, and I think 90% of the spectators had all of their teeth!

Backfilled and moving right along

Here are some recent pictures of our house, post back filling by the excavator. Things are really looking nice around here, and as you can see from these pictures, the two GIANT dirt piles are gone! YIPPEE!

I will start working on the windows this week, and will be sure to keep the blog updated as the transformation continues to take place.
