Aimee's new haircut

Aimee got her haircut tonight. She wanted a different look so we cut at least six inches off her head. I think it looks really cute; but I'm posting this blog so my mom can see her new haircut.
Honestly, I think she could wear any type of hair style or have any hair color and she would still look cute.

July 4th

We had a great 4th of July. Aimee came in the night before. We are sure enjoying her being home. She's a delight to have around. To celebrate the 4th, we went to the festivities in Lawrenceville. We took our chairs, blankets and a picnic dinner and sat down right in front of the band. The band played for about three hours prior to the firework display. Scott and I really enjoyed the band......the kids could have done without it. There is an older gentleman that dresses up like a country bumpkin and dances the whole time. He's hired to get other people to get up and dance. Aimee is dancing with him in the picture below. He acts and looks like he's quite old but there is no way he could dance for three hours and be as old as he is made up to look.
I don't know if we will go back again next year since the kids didn't like the band. If Scott and I find ourselves alone then we just may return since we really liked it.

NASCAR

Let's go back a few months because I failed to post Allie's birthday. Allie turned 16 on April 27th and because we as a family love us some NASCAR, we went to Talladega. In March we went to AMS and enjoyed it so much, Allie wanted to go to Talladega for her birthday. We had a great time. We each have our own driver that we cheer for. Allie's man is number 9 Kasey Kahne. I like Jr., Scott roots for Ryan Newman and I believe Max roots for Carl Edwards. We all dislike (very much) Tony Stewart. He's such a bad sport. But it looks, right now, like Kyle Bush is the one to be betting on if you had to put some money down.

The NASCAR race is a fun family outing for us. Can't wait for Atlanta in October!!!!
