Nascar Race - Indianapolis Motor Speedway

Wow! What an experience. We had such a good time at the Nascar race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Before the race we got to meet 4 drivers - Greg Biffle, AJ Allmendinger, Reed Sorenson and Kyle Busch. 3 of them gave us their autograghs. Our seats were amazing. We sat right behind the pits in the infield. Ski and Bryan got to go right up to the pit crews and get lug nuts. They chatted with the Nascar officials and tried to get jobs. It was soooo hot that day but it was still a great race. Tony Stewart won and as usual Jeff Gordon made his way across the finish line before Jr did!

How often do you get to go THIS close???

Doesn't this official need to be paying attention to the race? Ski and Bryan take this opportunity to interview for a position.

Jack Roush - he wouldn't even turn his head to the fans so they could get his picture.

Bristol Week

He's waited two years for this week to come - and so have I! Ski and his brother Bryan - one week of nothing but Nascar at the track of all tracks - Bristol, TN! For me, that meant one week of doing whatever I wanted. (as long as I could drag 3 kids with me) It wasn't even that I could come and go as I pleased without someone worrying if I didn't call or come home. It was the fact that at 8:00pm when all the kids went to bed, the TV was ALL MINE, the computer was ALL MINE, the snack cupboard - you guessed it - ALL MINE. I didn't have to share a single girl scout cookie with anyone!!! (Or the "whole box" of girl scout cookies - which ever way you want to look at it...) Come Wednesday though, I was soooo ready for him to come back! (Remember those three kids I was taking care of...I almost sold them to the next stranger I talked to.) Just kidding - we had a good time together, just me and my babies!!! As you can see below - Ski had a GREAT TIME also. Some bonding time with his brother at one of the best tracks there is. He called me so many times to tell me how awesome it all was. Bryan did such a great job getting everything ready for their camping trip! They stayed at Farmer Bob's right outside the track. The first night they got there, they were so excited and powered through an obscene amount of beer. The next morning while Ski nursed his hang over Bryan made them a great breakfast. At the track they paid 6 dollars a beer so hang overs weren't an issue the rest of the day! They went to both the Busch series and Nextel Cup race! I hear it was one of the best pre-race shows that Ski has ever seen. He even got to watch Jeff Gordon cross the finish line before Dale Earnhardt Jr AGAIN. Here are some pictures of their week!

Labor Day weekend!

We had a very nice - very BUSY - Labor Day weekend. On Friday Ski went to Vegas for a Bachelor party. It was just me and Cadence hanging out together. Saturday my sister Megan and her boyfriend Bobby came to town for a visit. That night they bought me dinner at my favorite restaurant Casa Guatalajara. On Sunday, we got up early, I rented a mini van and we headed to LA. The kids were flying into LAX that afternoon so we drove around Hollywood and Beverly Hills before their plane landed. After the kids got here, we then headed to the California Speedway and met Ski for the Nascar race. We got free tickets from the military and they were awesome seats! Cadence got to go to her first Nascar race before she even turned a year old. She was nervous at first but after a couple laps you'd think she'd been going to these kinds of events for years!

We had an awesome weekend even though it was so busy! Hope everyone else had a great weekend too. Oh and I'd also like to congratulate our friend Darlene in South Carolina who got engaged to her boyfriend Clyde this weekend! We are so happy for you!!!!
