Hard Working Men

Last Sunday Mike had to go up to the ballpark to bust up some concrete. Tim met him up there with his little mini back ho. Tim pretty much ran the track ho while Mike busted up concrete with a sledge hammer. Chase hung around some and asked to work the back ho. Tim let him and he totally mastered it. He stayed on it ALL afternoon and loved it. He was SO good at it. Chase busting up some concrete with a little cleavage showing.

One of my favorite pics of the day.
Another of my faves.
Notice Chase's mouth in all these pictures. He was working his mouth as hard as his hands were maneuvering that back ho.
Watch those toes!

A little supervision.

Nice shades. Chase and Mike shared m y $3.00 Dollar General sunglasses for eye protection in the busting of the concrete with the sledgehammer.

I was really surprised that he could work that thing so well. Mike and I both were very pleased. He did WAY better than Mike did.

I like the sun in this pic.

LOVE the action in this one.

I think the men were all pretty impressed.

Notice Mike and Tim giving direction...and Chase's mouth.

We were pretty proud of the ol boy.

Falcons, Hawaii and Pickles Gap

On Friday afternoon Chase and the Falcon band played at Cornerstone Church in Sherwood for Football Fan Fest. 'Little' Wally Hall did a remote with his show there. There was food and local high school coaches and players were invited to attend. Rick Schaeffer was the guest speaker (the biggest Razorback suck-up on the face of the planet...I would imagine that most you reading this do not know who he is). A video of the Falcon band is at the very bottom of this post.

The band

The Freshman trumpet-ier
All under the watchful eye of Karen Dismuke (aka Ms. D) the best band director around.
Carson was asked to hold music for the fluters-is that what they're called?
So Saturday started off with a meeting in Greenbrier. We left the house at 9:30 am and made it to GB in 40 minutes...flyin low. The meeting was in regards to a trip that Chase may....and I DO MEAN MAY get to go on. Lots of different high school bands (actually random students from those bands) from around the state have been invited. It's in Hawaii. I think they need chaperones and of course with Chase's asthma bein so bad and all, I would never send him alone...wink...wink! Wellllllllllll this trip is really, I mean REALLY expensive. But anyway, it sounds WAY cool and any donations would be accepted. Simply make your check payable to the Sanders Foundation. This, of course, will be tax-deductible. So on the way back from GB we stopped at Pickle's Gap. We've driven by it a hundred times but never stopped. The name...don't ask...I have no idea. But we did meet Chase's long lost twin brother there...take a gander.

Looks like a mean dude to me. All he needs now is a Harley.
These 2 goobers were trying to figure out some type of brain teaser. How many Sanders does it take....
Daniel Boone??
This was in the antique shop. I loved all the hats.

Harry Potter

Mike and I discovered that we really enjoyed the antique shop. Yes, even Mike! Pretty cool stuff to look at. We may just go do that again sometime soon. Oh yeah, they have a fudge shop, too.
Chocolate Fudge with caramel and nuts...doesn't look to appetizing but oh my.
Fudge + Diet = NOT!!!!

So he doesn't have much rythym but he can sure toot his horn! I myself think they sound pretty darn good.
