Here is another cute picture of my 3 boys.....

I just couldn't resist posting this cute picture.....
I took it before we walked out the door on Wednesday night for our first race of the 2012 season.
All 3 boys were SO GOOD ALL NIGHT!!!  Hope they are this good all year long!!!
It was a wonderful night!  Just a little chilly- but we all stayed bundled up & warm.  
Brody, Brayden & Drake

The twins went to their first race last October when they were only 5 weeks old or so, so it was cute to watch them this year since they were a little older & could watch what was going on.  
Brody just kept his eyes on the race cars that were going around the track & Drake seemed more interested in smiling & watching the people in the stands.  
Brayden had his truck, trailer, cars & tractors to play with as he sat & watched all of the cars & especially his dad.  
Brayden said after the first lap of the main- 
"Grandma- dad needs to go faster & get that new car up to the front so he can win.  The boys & I want to get our picture taken with him tonight."  
TOO CUTE!  And I was wishing the same thing....but it will happen sometime- just not that night.
We all enjoyed the races!!  It is a family event that we all do together.
There were lots of cars to watch & familiar friends to visit with. 
Nathan did great in his heat, but put the wrong set up in the car for the main & didn't do so hot.
He has a brand new car & different shocks, etc. this year & it is all new to him in learning how to set things up.  He will figure it all out!!  Just hopefully sooner than later. 
Last night the guys went to Des Moines racing & he did much better!!!  He had to start in the back (16th) during the main because someone in front of him spun out during the heat& he finished 2nd- with it being 3 wide as they went across the line!!  Great job!! 
Maybe tonight will be a lucky night for us!

Have a great day!!!
ENJOY!
Happy Stamping!

Our son started racing many years ago when he was only 14.
(He is now 27 & a high school principal!)
Our 2012 racing season has officially started!
Practice races were last night.
Then races begin tonight.
We plan to race every night the rest of the week through Sunday.
I pray he has good luck this season.
Nathan has won many races throughout his career- including several track champions & a few national champions too!
We wish him good luck this year!!
I'll have to get a picture of his new car & post it sometime soon.
HOPEFULLY it will be a post with a win!
His car is a deep purple (Concord Crush) with a rainbow of colors on it this year.
It is very sweet!!
We should easily be able to pick him out on the track when we are sitting up in the stands.
Go 52!!

Have a great day!
ENJOY!
Happy Stamping!

Smooches products & my 3 boys!

Hello-
Here is a picture of the new Smooches products that I wanted to show you.
 Aren't they just beautiful!!  
They are such bright & pretty colors.
Great designs for both guys & gals projects.
And for both card making & scrapbooking.  
 
ALSO-
I haven't posted a picture of my 3 boys for awhile.  
Drake, Brody & Brayden
  
They are growing up so fast! 
They are so precious!!

I SO ENJOY being able to keep them!
We are all so happy about that.
And we are so happy that things are going to well with Brody's recovery from his surgery.  
Grandma & Papa both love them to pieces!!
Brody & Drake just turned 7 months & are mobile- so you can't keep them in one spot any more.
They get where they want to go to get what they want.
Brody is crawling.
They both now have teeth.
Brody has 3 & Drake has 1.
They keep me plenty busy!!
SO FUN!!  SO SPECIAL!!

ENJOY!
Happy Stamping!
