Zoom Zoom- Fast and Furious Weekend

This last weekend Jason and I were lucky enough this last weekend to be able to head down to Vegas to the Speedway for the NHRA Nationals (drag racing). Michelle's Dad raced early Saturday morning and we knew we didn't want to miss that so we made sure to get up for that. We had so much fun being with the Loeffler's and watching the races. This video is of Michelle's Dad, Skip, doing his second run of the day. Jason got to go watch this race at the starting line because he got a special pass. You should have seen how excited he was... he thought Christmas came early!

Later in the day we got to see the Top Fuel Dragsters which shook my socks off! They were awesome to see but if you blinked you wouldn't see them at all!

We even got T-shirts! We are officially part of the Crew!

We had so much fun and are grateful for the Loeffler's letting us come and hang out with them during the weekend. Thanks so much!!

Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze Pictures

Just this last week Jason and I were lucky enough to join Kurt, Shel, Drewbie, and Matters at the local corn maze and pumpkin patch. We had so much fun there and I was very impressed with all of the themed activities they had there to keep the kids (and us adults) entertained.

Here are some of the fun things we did there:

Went down these slides made out of pipes. The bottom of the slide was filled with hardened corn. Here is Drewbie demonstrating his graceful landing skills.


You could race rubber ducks in these PVC pipes with the provided water pumps. This was so clever and fun to do, even though Shelli kept trying to cheat! Jason's ducky in this picture is the pink one and Shel's the yellow one... looks like it might be tie!

The boys loved these swings made out of tires to look like horses. I loved the way Matt refused to look at the camera, but he was laughing and having such a good time shouting "faster" that we still got a good picture of him. Drewbie always looks good in his pictures, too!

There was a petting zoo as well at the farm. Jason found a relative, as seen in this picture.

We then took a tractor ride to the pumpkin patch. It was so fun to go and pick out pumpkins and watch as the boys tried to lift pumpkins as big as them. It was such a nice day and we were there right as the sun was setting. We couldn't have asked for a better evening!

The boys were tired of lifting pumpkins, so they decided to use them as seats.

Finally we went off to the corn maze when it got dark. I remember doing the corn mazes here growing up, so it was a special treat to take the boys. We got in to the maze, but the boys didn't really care about finding their way out, they just liked jumping out from around the corners and scaring everyone. Eventually the boys got bored of the maze so we found our way out and went home.
Before we left, Kurt convinced Drewbie to get on top of this huge pile of hay and jump off to him. Here is Drewbie in action!

Thanks for adopting us for the night, Kurt n Shel! We love your fam and loving having all of these fun adventures with the boys!

This picture is a recent one where Jason and I were lucky enough to join Kurt, Shelli, Drew, and Matt and go to the local corn maze and pumpkin patch here in St. George. We will post more pictures from that fun event, but for now here is the picture of me and Jason looking for a pumpkin.

Also, it is one month to Jason's birthday (Nov. 22) and I am so excited to celebrate his birthday and spoil him the way he spoils me every day! Just thought I would give him a little payback for stealing my sketches! Hey, I'm not saying how old he is...yet! I love you, Jason!!

Shh...I stole these from Lisa

So, one of the things that Lisa loves to do in her spare time is to sketch. Usually she will get her inspiration from things she sees around her. Recently, after coming back from Disneyland, Lisa was watching a few Disney movies, just "Keeping the dream alive." She did some amazing sketches, and when she wasn't looking I took them and scanned them in. I just wanted everyone to know how talented Lisa is, and show off her stuff. Here are just a few.

These pictures are of Kurt n' Shel and their cute boys, Drew and Matt. We just love their family and love being down here in St. George so we can be around them more. I love it that Drewbie always asks if I brought him a game to play with from my preschool, and how Matt jumps for joy every time he sees Jason. They all look so cute in these pictures and I am glad that they got some good family photos.
