Utah Le Mans Grand Prix

I was actually doing some of the flagging and communications for the ALMS Grand Prix. It was awesome! I was right on the track and had a killer view of all the action. I spent most of the time on a very technical corner and got to witness some pretty cool driving... a few wrecks too. I've been racing for quite a while but obviously not at this level. Heck, I just think its cool that I was able to participate. Alex loved it too. He wants to get into kart racing. We'll take him out and see what happens. I've included a pic of me and some of my favorite cares. I also got to see, and sit in, a Bugatti Veryon. Only 1.5 mil if you have it!

Day Out With Thomas...Pt2

 

A Day out with Thomas

We had a day out with Thomas on Saturday. We went up to Heber City Historic Railroad and had a blast. The kids loved riding the old train all while being pulled by Thomas. Old kids had fun too although going through the Thomas gift shop could cause your wallet to shrink significantly. Most pics coming.

Soccer Man!

Alex has been doing wonderfully in Soccer this year with me, the Dad, as his coach. My goal was to get all the kids actually playing positions and since they seem to have mastered that, they have since been undefeated. I'm really proud of the kids and Alex in particular. He has been doing great.


 

MaxTurns 3!

We celebrated Max's third birthday today. It was a blast. We had a pinta, some of his kid frinds and a Thomas Cake the Cristy made. Max got covered with frosting, as you would expect, and played. he was out by 7:30 tonight.


 

Two Little Boys

The boys have gotten so big these days. I swear I blink and they grow a foot. Alex will be 8 in July and is already 4ft tall. It never amazes me how big they are. 

Lets Go Camping!!!

Alex and I went camping this last Friday and had a blast. We went a good ways out into the the Desert SW of Salt Lake City. The Butte in the picture actually has ALex standing on the top! Climbed up there by himself. We had a wonderful time together and can't wait till Max is big enough to come along. We took the telescope with us and were able to look at the moons of Jupiter and the rings of Saturn. It was fabulous! Cristy had a fun night at home with the chic flicks... Glad she enjoyed it too!


 

Pics of the new house - Outside

A couple of you have asked me to post some pics of the outside of the house. These were taken after the snow melpted but the flowers hadn't bloomed yet

 

Easter Morning

Its Easter morning and Spring flowers are finally up. We've been trying top get the yard back in shape as the weather warms up. I was so happy to have a big yard until I spent 3 saturdays just weeding the dang flower beds. But all is well that ends well. Its starting to look nice.

Max the destroyer is being very good today. He was really excited by what the Easter Bunny brought to him. That is the look of pure glee in that picture. Alex as a bit grumpy and didn't want any pics taken.

Here come Peter Cotton-Tail

Getting ready for Easter. Things are good although Alex has developed a it of a 'tude at school. he walked out of his class 2 days ago because he didn't win a prize. he also told his reading teacher we wasn't going to participate. Needless to say, we had a long talk and threatened him with bodily harm. Actually, we threatened his electronic entertainment and he snapped right back into shape. I still think the bodily harm would have worked tho. The house is doing good. Our spring flowers are in full bloom and looking good. We're slowly getting the rest of the house in shape and hopefully will stop unpacking stuff soon.

Killer Fun-time

We had the whole family over tonight. My bro Mar, his family, Robby and Sarah, Teet, Tom , Shane and some famly friends, Dwayne and Leann. It was a blast. Teresa made old skool Chicken and Dumplins and Granny's fried chicken. it was awesome. The Te Hira's brought this killer raspberry and meranque dessert that rocked. We all hung out and shot the breeze till pretty late, we all ended up leaving due to kids school the next day. The craziest thing is , and I do not know how she did it, Courtney threw a roll up through the ceiling fan blades and into the lamp on top of the ceiling fan. Amazing shot. We figure, after we beat her butt, that we should get her into professional B-Ball. All in all, it was a good weekend.

Fun in the snow
