Rednecks Gone Wild!

So, I guess this was kinda a redo of my birthday...since I missed a bit of that. haha. But I think mostly it was a good reason to have a party! Winter gets kinda boring, this was a way to shake things up...

Debra, aka "Jail Bait"

I loved the overalls and pig-tails!!

Janice, Rebelicious

"Do you know how hard it is to explain the Rebel flag to that little Chinese lady that does my nails?!"

Dale stole Amanda, I guess that was party of his "redneck-ness"


This one got a little blurred- but I loved to see that Kim dressed up too!

A party just isn't a party without Diesel!!!

Something funny...

Tammy and Janice!

We were so glad Tammy got to come, so sad that Joe missed it.

Hope you feel better Joe!!!

Pool, taking pictures, and drinkin...that's our kind of party!

Can't sneak one in on Amanda, she spotted my camera

Me and Janice- Tammy was playing with my camera and we couldn't resist a smile

"Jail Bait" and Dale

(another of Tammy's pictures)

What's under those coveralls?! Oh My Gosh! haha

AND- my Tramp Stamp

Putting the coveralls back on, you can see Debra calling us from out the porch door.

(Mark had the camera here...haha)

Tammy was among the first to peter... Janice was trying to talk her into getting up...

Redneck Newlyweds!

Love it!

Ben dancin with me

(idk who had the camera...)

Whoa! Baby got LOW!

I know who had the camera here... I would only make that face at Ben. haha
My shadow looks HUGE...

Debra was going to show me something...or change the music...

She said she couldn't dance with her overalls hooked. haha

I love Debra, and she's the only one that stayed up to dance with me.

(Janice 'half-petered' and retired to the couch with Mark)

Ok Ben, that's enough pictures... seriously.

Janice was the dutiful nurse all night, poor Tammy...
we thought she'd get back up, but she didn't quite make it.

Rednecks play pool...backwards?!

Who ordered the Redneck strip-o-gram?!

I'm not sure who is getting on to who...but this is a very serious discussion. lol

Ben made up a "Peter Board", he was charting who petered first.

He'd have to explain it to you...but I think checks meant you were still good, scribbles meant you were gone...?! Maybe.

"My name is Ben White, and I approve this message"

across the top there...haha...oh my politician

Renamed it "PETER BOARD", it was more appropriate. haha

OMG- these are thanks to Debra.

We aren't usually in pictures together, guess we decided to ham it up!
This one is one of my favorites of us ever...haha.

Strippin again...to show off his shirt 'art'work

Hahaha, I don't know what he's doing... but I like it of me.

Ben's handiwork of the night...

"Redneck & Proud 2 B the color of this SHIRT"

(Don't know why he didn't just write "White")

and my beautiful (and smeared) Tramp Stamp

We look guilty of something... but I don't think we actually did anything bad...?!

Awwe, I love my Ben.

Can you tell if I'm standing on my toes or not?!

BAHAHA, ya'll are lucky I love making you laugh or this would NOT be on the internet!
There are no words to explain this...but Ben is rubbing off on my picture faces!

I don't know what the lighters were about...that boy is crazy.

Last picture from the party, taken at 3:08 am. We left about 15 minutes later.

Happy to say that I petered the very last, and Ben is a Passer-Outer, no matter how much he denies it! (Haha, can't erase the internet baby- gotcha!)

And, we took 98 - 59 home, with one short stop.

As soon as this sign got in vision range we were both trying to figure out what color it was...

"Is that PINK?!"

Yes it was, we took a picture to be sure.

I'm just sayin...

I cannot WAIT for tonight.

It's exciting to do different things every now and then, and I think this'll be just the fun we all need to clear up this old winter routine.

AND, this is the funniest redneck thing I have seen in real life in a long time!

That sign is just priceless!

Little boy, Big gun

Well, they aren't the biggest guns Ben has- but they are pretty big compared to Mason! He will be 5 in about a week, and this past Tuesday we took him with us out back while Ben shot some.

He was very excited, but even with his earplugs in he jumped every time Ben shot. I took a couple steps back to take this picture, but he kept backing up to me (scared him a little I think).

Mason wanted to shoot, Ben was more than happy to oblige. Here he's explaining where the trigger is, that you don't touch it til you're ready to fire, how to hold on- he was all set!

BANG, *pause*, BANG BANG BANG BANG

Shooting the automatic is fun! He really got into it! Emptied the clip I think!

Mason wanted to try my kind of shooting too!

He got Ben AND his Gatorade, that was a big deal. haha

Uncle Ben! Don't know what happened to the smile, this is still Mason's handywork.

Mason wanted a real picture with the gun. "This one's heavy!"

Look at those grins!

He wanted this one too, just for show, he didn't shoot it.
He'll be big enough to use this one by himself soon.

Then he stood on the hood and we counted the ducks that flew over (luckily in groups of 2 or 4). He wanted to shoot them too, but we told him they aren't in season (and I don't think we had the right gun for duck hunting. haha)

2/1: Sunday

After rabbit hunting and teaching Sunday school, I was ready for some relaxing fun at the river. We met everyone at Paul & Kim's, and after getting into some warmer clothes (On "Freedom" blog) we were ready to ride!

Saw this guy going into a creek, he was very pretty- Ben named him "Hootie Who".

haha.

Every time Debra tried to snap the picture he did this! He was ignoring all of our "Who?!" calls.

Back up shine creek, we wanted to show Ben. He misses a lot when he's off huntin instead of coming with us. Here is the mash drum with the ax blow to it.

A new angle on the same scene.

We dug up a few more of the jars, they are thick in about a 12 foot radius from that drum.

That branch knocked Ben's phone out of it's holster on the way down. It had been in the water about 15 minutes by now, but he really just wanted the sim card out of it.

Hard to fish it out when your net breaks!

"Baby, roll up your sleeve!"

But it was too late, haha, he was already wet.

Fishing for phones!

He caught one!! And a lot of muck with it.

Is he rinsing it off?! Really?! He just pulled it out of the water!

It was still turned ON!

Let the phone dr. clean it up for you. They were discussing something about the battery.

That thing is STILL working (it's Tuesday!). Those Nextel phones are tough!

Debra did some dare-devil fishing on the way back up.

Something funny...

The "gaggle" of Ibis that was hanging out near the dock.

Scratch chased Tux up this tree...but he didn't seem concerned.

It was a great weekend!!!
