Rednecks Rule!!

Good news...we have hot water once again...and have had it ever since Thursday of last week! Bless his heart...I've never been so excited to see a man in a toolbelt in my ENTIRE life!!!! I think the guy from the gas company thought I was crazy. But you try living without hot water for 3 days and tell me how you react to that repair truck pulling up into your yard!!!

We are throwing a birthday party for Cole on his Nov 1st! I cannot believe he will be a year old in about 2 1/2 weeks. The time has flown by!! I just keep thinking that the next time I go in his room to wake him up to get ready for daycare, I am going to find a teenager lying in his crib!!! Guess we need to get busy and have some more. It ought to be interesting to see how Cole will react to a younger sibling...there's already quite a bit of rivalry between him and Rico!!

Has anybody seen the TV show "My Big Fat Redneck Wedding"? It comes on CMT and it is HILARIOUS!!! Well, I went to a big fat redneck wedding RECEPTION this last Sunday. It was for Ronnie's uncle. I LOVE his family...and they are so wonderful to me...but I cannot help but laugh my butt off whenever I am around them. You just never know what is going to happen. To just set the mood for you...when we pulled up to his uncle's house on Sunday, there were children racing around the yard on Lil Rascals (those motorized wheelchair/scooter thingys)!! Apparently some older person they were friends with had recently passed away...and this was something his uncle had inherited from them!! I leaned over and said to Ronnie, "I didn't know your uncle was hosting the 2008 Special Olympics?"

Not Redneck enough, you say?

Well, try this little tidbit on for size...

The highlight of the evening...Ronnie's dad has figured out how to make a sort-of bomb using a 20 oz bottle, tin foil, and toilet cleaner! (I refuse to give exact directions because I don't want to be liable for any crazy things happening). My husband and his father kept everyone entertained for several hours by blowing up about 20 bottles!! Using toilet cleaner. Please do not forget that this was a BBQ that was supposed to be a WEDDING RECEPTION...so...who has the biggest redneck family now?!?!?! Try to contain your jealousy!!!

HA HA HA HAHA!!! I will forever love living in the Deep South!!!
