After the Race

A little bit of this A couple these

And a whole lotta this

I'll get you the Relay for Life blow-by-blow as soon as I get me some of this

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz......................................

One last shameless request for donations

Check out that Boody Barometer! I can't believe that we have almost reached our goal. Our friends and family have been so unbelievably supportive. Thank you all so very much for the gernous donations you have sent.

This is one last shameless request for donations. We are so close to our goal and we only have three days left.

Just to up the guilt factor a tiny bit, I'm posting some pictures from previous Relay for Life events.

Kisses..........from the Boody Bunch

Morgan County Fair--the abreviated version

Fair time is in the air (somethings in the air--and it smells a whole lot like cow).

I had full intentions of hitting every booth and eating up what ever they had to offer. We started off with a bang....first stop: the $5 pork and chicken bbq luncheon. It was de-lish! Dan Gardner sure knows how to put on a spread!

And then, unfortunately, someone cranked up the heat because it got so miserably HOT!!

After eating lunch we made our way to the exhibit building.

Poor Shawn. He was overcome by the heat and didn't make it any further than the Polaris booth outside of the exhibit building.

Here's a picture of the poor boy bracing himself against this 2008 line of Rangers. It brought him to his knees. No---wait--he's just entering a drawing for a free four-wheeler. He's got such a one track mind.

We spent a whole lotta time at the Polaris booth waiting for Shawn to pull himself together.

The heat was so bad that I was unable to fulfill my dream of eating my way from one end of the fairgrounds to the other. I did manage to grab a funnel cake and a Texas Twister (careful how you say that) drink on my way out the door.

I may have failed this year but I'm going to use this next year as an opportunity to do some hard core training for the 2009 Morgan County Fair. The kettle corn man doesn't stand a chance!

It's a Boy!

Although he looks more like a little old grumpy hispanic man.

Two out of three Lafitte cats surveyed had this to say.....

Time to meet the funny farm

Dear Pancho-

I'm gonna give you one last chance to back out of this deal. I think you should meet your soon-to-be roommates.

Welcome to the Lafitte funny (looking) farm.

This is JackJack has a freakish man face and meow's like a little girl. He's the only tiger in this joint that was allowed to keep his finger nails. His favorite pass time is hanging out in the wood shed sharpening those claws so watch it! He likes to feed his freakish man face with a special diet of neighborhood birds. It is not a pretty scene. If he tries to take you out for a stroll to "bird watch" don't do it!

This is GracieGracie is our "challenged" friend with a "special spirit". This poor little fluff ball is cross eyed, clumsy and is easily confused so move slowly when you are around her. She is also a little skiddish so no loud, unexpected noises. Barking will not be tolerated.

This is little darling is MissyMissy is our little princess/massage therapist. She rules this joint and has a soft spot for Big Daddy Tim. Her favorite pass time is climbing into bed with Tim and marching on him till he falls asleep.

If you don't behave yourself, we will have no other option than to send you over to Grandpa Bob's where you will have to face this thug:

Abby "the Terminator" Netz. She will leave marks on you that will require medicate cremes in order to heal. Her bite is definitely worse than her bark.

Sounds like you have one day to make up your mind. This place does not come with a money back guarantee. All sales are final. Once you get in, there's no going back. Choose wisely.

Everyone loves a parade

Welcome to the Morgan County Fair Parade 2008:

First up.....

Brennon Netz proudly representing Cub Scout Pack 244. He's our little fire cracker! (get it? firecracker? He's sitting under the firecracker)

Netxt up; Morgan County Council
Of special note on the County Council Float: Last minute wardrobe change. Overalls vs. Matching Green Shirts. Matching green shirts were the noticable winners.

Jim and Gloria Anderson in their parade favorite: Chevy?Nova? 19?? (my dad can rattle off the make and model---me, I'm a girl, all I know is that it's shiny and red) . In the front seat with Grandpa Jim is Colton "The Candy Thrower" Hyde, son of Leslie and Travis Hyde. Hey Gloria (in the back seat) what's up with covering your face?

And here is the Lafitte Family Hair Dresser, Diane hauling Deb and her Spicy Pies.

Where's Lydon you ask?

He's right here-

Taken care of bizness for Deb while the rest of Morgan County parades on.

And rounding the corner is the Carrigan Caravan...

We won't even ask why Casuree gets to drive the truck while Nate and Jason get assigned to candy chucking duty...?????

A small tribute to Uncle Jill.

Try finding an ugly side to this girl....there isn't one...believe me, I've tried.

Excuse us while we take a short intermission so that Aaron can sqeeze in a quick shower...

After

Let's get back to the parade...

This one's for you Roxanne, Arlin, Brooke and Justin

Someone needs to call Search & Rescue cuz Lester Lee Stone was MIA tonight--we're kinda worried.

And we'll end tonight on the crowd favorite--the Morgan County Fire Department

Chaston Netz was the lone family member riding for the fire tonight. Way to go Chase! Good to know that we can count on you!

Oh......one last thing......dad dared me.......
