NASCAR Las Vegas 2006

We were in Las Vegas in March for our annual NASCAR Vegas Vacation. As you can see by our layered clothing the weather was not overwhelmingly warm. I usually like to get my seasonal tan started while we're at the races; This year we got snowed on!!! Can't complain too much, at least the weather cooperated enough for the races to run and we still had a blast. Already reserved the rooms and tickets for next year.

Crescent Dunes

We spent a few days at the Crescent Dunes just outside of Tonopah last week (04/20/06-04/22/06). We left midday Saturday as the kids had a race in Fallon that night. Here Cody is changing from sand tires to dirt tires in preparation for the race. Unfortunately, Fallon was bombarded by a massive thunderstorm just before the races were set to start and neither of the kids got to race that night. Needless to say, not only did we hear the groaning about not getting to race, but also the whining about leaving camp early. Oh well, the next race is right around the corner and closer to home.
Shelby is kissing her new friend good-bye. She released him safely back into the wild before we left the dunes. Mom is not only a supporter, but an enforcer, of catch and release.

Cody's 1st Day as a Junior


Cody on his first day as a Douglas High School Junior back in late August, 2005. Probably not the best way to make friends....

Shelby's 1st Day of Kindergarten


Going back in time to August 10,2005, this is Shelby on her first day of Kindergarten. She was very excited to meet her teacher, make new friends, and get homework.
