Baby crack?

We were just goofing around and Preston just kind of went crazy, but then again he has 3 brothers (soon to be 5) to compete with!








I guess he wanted to take the pictures.






We have a lot of fun just hanging out after the boys get home from school!

Why didn't ford mass produce these?!!?

Last week on labor day Sheldon had it's Celebrations Days, the towns annual city wide celebration. There were all the usual festivities such as carnival rides, parade, fire works, craft fair, balloon animals and so on. All were very nice for the kids but I was particularly interested in the car show that promised to be one for the books. The big draw was a special tribute to Dodge/Chrysler muscle cars. Which I must admit was more than impressive, HOWEVER there was one car that could have provided a swell enough show all by its self.

As I walked up to the massive crowd of drooling mid-western car nuts, I asked a friend of mine standing on the out-skirts what all the fuss was about. This was his reply; "Have you ever wondered what would happen if an eccentric millionaire told a team of the most capable car designers in the world to build him a one of a kind mustang and spare no expense? This car is the answer."

And that, I must admit, is an understatement. This 1967 Mustang Fast-back is the only one of its kind (even though the only thing '67 about the car is the body style). As I found out, "The engine is Roush's new show-n-go 427 R crate motor that produces 552 horsepower and 535 ft-lbs. of torque, but still looks good enough to win awards under that vented hood!"

Anyhow, if any one is wondering what to get me for Christmas... let me shorten the list.
