Our Redneck Life

Ryan’s birthday breakfast.  He had to wake up early so I could make french toast!

Ryan turned 12 on Tuesday but we did not have  time to celebrate until Saturday.  He did not have a game so he decided that he wanted to go out to eat at Hooters!  Then we ended up with so much to do on Saturday including an Auburn game at 6 that we did not have the time to drive to Hooters and he settled for Ryan’s ( a buffet restaurant).  Earlier in the day we went to Bama Bogg!

We took our 4 wheelers to ride to the races and around the ATV trails.  Here is part of our crew.

We watched the little kids “race”

and then the “big kids”.  It was a CMR event (mud racing)

All Ryan wanted to do was run in the mud races but it took so long that we just let them race each other.  This is Sami, Dalton and Ryan.  They had a blast running in the muddy water and having mud fights.

He ended up pretty muddy.  While the boys washed off in the Hillbilly Swingin Swimmin hole, Dennis and I rode on the ATV trails.  We quickly went home, bathed and went out to eat.  We all returned home to watch the Auburn/ LSU game and had cake and ice cream at half time.

On Labor Day we had a big “gathering” of friends and family at Dennis’ parents house.  We played volleyball and ate Gary’s famous chicken.

The spectators

Dennis’s cousin Rodney rode his lawn mower across the road to watch the games!

One night at an away football game out in the boonies…the lights on our side went out and several in the stands had flashlights in their pockets and purses!

(flash did not work)

I had to take the Ipad to Ryan’s first game so I would not miss the first Auburn game!

Dennis and his dad grilled chicken for the varsity football team this week before the big game on Friday night.  They ate it ALL!

I am sure I will have more glimpses into our redneck life soon.  This time of year our life revolves around football.  We play 3 games a week and watch more on TV.  Birthdays, weddings, parties etc. are all planned around high school and college football.  So my next blog entry will be about…..FOOTBALL!!
