NASCAR

Patrick's brother had extra NASCAR tickets and it happened to be on weekend that I couldn't miss Primary. Shayna was more than happy to be her Dad's date for the big event. Patrick LOVED it and Shayna had a good time (that was all I could get out of her).

Shayna's Birthday!!

Eleven VERY short years ago on a Sunday night around 9:30 Shayna was born. I cannot believe how time has flown since I first became a mother. What was life like before this day? I have a hard time remembering. However, I wouldn’t change it for the world!! I’m so grateful to be her mother. She’s a great kid. Now that she’s getting older we are becoming good friends and hope time won’t change that (I hear teenage years can do that). She loves to tell me how to do my hair, make-up, what to wear etc. How fun it is to have such a special oldest child. We LOVE you Shayna!!!!!

Tour De Tucson

Patrick has yet another accomplishment to add to his list (his list is MUCH longer than mine). Last weekend he rode the El Tour De Tucson which was 109 miles. His goal was to do it in under 6 hours and he did it!! His time was 5:48, which put him in the gold medal group. He did awesome, especially considering he only had 600 total miles on his bike. He's only been riding since May. Maybe next year I'll join him :-). How many of you laughed (be honest).

My Name is Tanner Austin and I'm Playing Little Indian Brave

Tanner had a piano recital and did awesome. He's really starting to catch on (after him and I nearly giving it up a few months ago). He was so handsome and did a great job.
