Happy Birthday Chris!!

Chris loves the Yankees and how convenient that they were in town playing our own Tigers. Here we are at the game sporting our twinner shirts. We had great seats (thanks mom). Too bad the Yankees didn't play that well.
But GO TIGERS!!

Then on the actual day of his birthday we to PF Changs with the Elders (thanks Sharon for babysitting). We had so much fun at dinner just chit chatting. As you can see the girls were on the same side. Happy Birthday Chris!

NASCAR

NASCAR

So NASCAR comes to Michigan every year. We decided that we should finally see what all the fuss was about. We had so much fun. It was so extremely loud. When the cars went by they just shook the stands. It was amazing how fast they were going. And one of my favorite parts was the people watching. Every stereotype this sport gets, it is true 100%. If you look closely at the picture on the right, you can see a guy with his shirt off, hairy chest/back, and a beer in a coozey. There were mulits everywhere. It was great.


Can you see we have ear plugs in? You could hear each other talk even if you were right next to there ear. That is how loud it was.



We went with our good friends Ryan and Collin. Collin did such a great job. We told him we were going to see Lighting McQueen from Cars.



The stands and the cars coming around turn 4
There were 3 crashes!!

Pit Stop.

The Winner, #20, doing donuts



Here we are on the actual track. You could see marks in the road from the tires and the crashes.

Summer Fun

Summer Utah Trip

Here we doing some classic putt-putt at Cherry Hills



My friends threw Hailey a baby shower. It was so fun to see all the girls and catch up. I miss all of you girls.


Here we are having a blast at the Real Game.

Here is the Princess, Marquel giving me smiles. She has changed so much. It was a blast being with her. She is more aware of what is going on now.

Chris is tearing it up skiing at Schofield

Here is the classic blessing photo. I was so happy that they did it while I was there. She is definitely a blessing in our lives.

Here is the family. We were all there. Can you believe how big we are?? Total of 11, crazy. But I love being in a big family.


Chris after a hard days work of skiing.

Bud and I at Lake Powell

Here we are both trying to surf. It is really hard to find the sweet spot to let go of the rope. But it is fun to do, even though neither one of us found the spot to let go.







Girls at the Lake

I love skiing here. The water is so warm. You can be in it all day long.

Last but not least we did have our classic game of WAR. Here is Chris and I on the banana.
