Vegas Pics

Here are some of the pics from our trip to the drag races; some of the cars are in the middle of a race and some of them are burning out (hence the picture of pure smoke). Everyone should see this at least once in their lives; the top fuel (nitro) are going anywhere from 300 mph to 335 mph and the horsepower of these machines cannot be measured....wow! That is some major power...wish it was me!!!

There is also video of my favorite driver (and yours) John force burning out. He goes almost all the way down the quarter-mile on his burnout...what a crowd pleaser. The other video is part of the light show we watched on Freemont St!

Curtis' Birthday

We were in Vegas during Curtis' 26th birthday. He was so excited...kept telling everyone we passed on the street that it was his birthday. One lady didn't think he was cool, but he kept on her and eventually got a "happy birthday"from her. Nothing like persistence, huh? He is such a character; keeps me hopping, that's for sure.

He is pretty busy these days...always helping someone do something. Usually, working on cars. He can't help himself; restoring cars is in his blood. He helped our friend build a race car, and is currently working on a car for one of our friends kids to drive. Yeah!

Long time, no post!

So, Lindsey informed me that I haven't updated my blog for a while....so here we go! Things have been a little crazy around here lately. Curtis and I just got back from our second trip to Vegas....yep, 2 visits within a month. We went down a couple of weeks ago for the NHRA drag races with my brother Travis and his wife Paola. This time, we went down with our friends Tony & Melissa to the Supercross Championship. Both trips were so fun! We love those kinds of things.

While we were gone, Savanna got to stay with my sister Susan and her kids, my mom, and this last time, with Jarold & Nancy. She got to play with all of her cousins and now, that is all she wants to do. She wants to play with Wesley, Janey, Bridger, Alyssa, Shelby, etc. She wants all of them here all of the time. She had a really good time with everyone and really enjoys being with her family that she doesn't see a whole lot.

She is getting so big; ever since she turned 3 she has just changed so much. For one, she thinks she's going on 20...YIKES! But mostly, she's just growing up and getting to be such a little personality. She is so friendly to everyone and loves to talk to people. She is so smart, too. I just can't keep up with her sometimes!
