Rick and Bubba

This past Tuesday morning, Mom, Dad and I got up early, and I mean real early, and traveled to Birmingham to go watch the Rick and Bubba show. Mom had gotten Golden Ticket Seats for us to go, and I was so excited. I have been listening to them on the radio for over 10 years now.

Bubba had just purchased a new Apple Ipad the night before so he was showing it to us during the commercial breaks. He even passed it around. I must say, it kind of made me want one.

This was them during a commercial break right before they were about to go back on the air.

At the end of the show they gladly took pictures with whomever wanted them.
Here are Mom and Dad with Rick and Bubba.
Here is me with Speedy.
They all were super nice and so kind. Speedy said as we were leaving, "It's people out there like y'all that make us do the show." How cool is that!

3 Rivers

This past Monday was "opening day" for the 3 Rivers Cotton Systems Baseball Team. I have to admit I was a little pumped too! Here they are getting their pre-game pep talk.Brooks up to bat. He didn't hit the ball this game like he did in their scrimmage, but he didn't let that get him down.And their is a handsome third base coach. Who is that?Brooks in right field.Here is Brooks in the dug out (second from left -of kids sitting) with his fellow teammates.They won 10-3. What a great way to open the season!I just love those little guys!

Easter Pics

A Brooks Funny!

Wednesday night on the way home from church, Reese and I were riding in a separate vehicle from Brent and Brooks. I left before Brent did and had a head start heading home. When Reese and I got to the Redland Road area, I noticed an awful smell. It smelt like death! I quickly realized that it wasn't Reese. Reese said, "Momma what is that poo-poo smell?" I still don't know what it was, but it was horrible.

A couple of minutes later, Brent called me on the cell phone, and I knew it was about the smell. Before I even said "Hello," I said, "Did you make that smell?" Brent laughed and said that he had falsely accused Brooks of making that smell.

Now to the funny part....

Brooks told Brent, "Maybe Reese pooped in his underwear and we are just now catching up to the smell."

Circus

We had a great time at the circus on Sunday afternoon. It was the last event of of our fun-filled weekend.

It was a small 1 ring circus. It was still impressive. They had an illusionist that performed magic tricks. My children didn't know what to think. Brooks said it was "real magic."

This was a motorcycle rider with acrobats attached.
Reese was impressed.
So were Brooks and Pop.
These tightrope walkers were good.
I was probably the most impressed with the trained house cats. WOW!
This picture is blurry but these ladies were hanging by their hair!
And of course...elephants!
We had a great day!

Missing Tooth

Brooks has lost yet another tooth. This one is more noticeable!

The Air Show

These are pictures of our outing to the air show at Maxwell AFB this past weekend. They are in reverse order and blogger is not cooperating, but I don't want to redo the whole post.

This was in front of the Raptor. It was the only plane (that I saw) that was roped off and being guarded by armed guards. One of Brent's friends was there and telling us about this plane. Shortly, he will begin his training to learn how to fly it.
These were the famous Thunderbirds.

This picture reminds me of the scene in Top Gun..."Keeping up foreign relations."



I don't know who this goof ball is.
Or these.
These planes were impressive too. I don't know what kind they were, probably because I wasn't paying close enough attention.




The Army's Golden Knights Parachute Team. I can't believe how high they were when they jumped out of the air plane.


Some other huge plane taking off. Hello Mr. Pilot. I can see you in there.We had a great time with some great friends. The boys were tired when it was all said and done, but Brent and I enjoyed it!
