Happy Birthday

Aaron turned a whopping 31 years old on March 11th! No matter how bad he feels about turning 31...he never forgets to remind me that I will always be older than him!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

We love you so much and hope you had a great day!

Daytona Supercross 2009

As part of Aaron's Birthday celebration, he wanted to go to the Daytona Supercross again. Unlike last year, the weather was perfect...a little chilly in the evening but nothing like the inches of rain that fell on us last year. Although, Aaron and I both agreed, the rain and mud made the race more exciting. It is Bike Week in Daytona so we headed out early to check out all the bikes and the vendors. My boys loved the thousands of motorcycles everywhere. Thanks to our friends Paul, Deb and the VanDykes's for joining us...we had a great time!

Tanner more interested in the people and climbing the stairs than the race.

Go James!

(Unfortunately, James Stewart wrecked at the very

beginning of the race and was not able to catch up.)

James Stewart finished in 7th place. Kaden was a little disappointed but he was such a sweet boy and said "I am happy for Chad Reed."

Kaden's 6 Year Pictures..Only 5 Months Late

I was a complete procrastinator when it came to getting Kaden's six year picture done. He had some school pictures taken, but I'm not a huge fan of plain ol' school pics. Anyway, I was going to take Kaden last week to have his pictures done but Aaron convinced me to take them myself. So here is my best attempt at portraits of my little man. I am still learning a lot about my new camera and Photoshop...so hopefully someday I will be able to take all of my kids pictures!

Got Money?

One of Tanner's new favorite things to do is pretend to give you his "money". He always asks "Mommy, you have two dollars?" Then he says "Tanner does", after digging in his pockets and pulling out his money! He is such a sweet funny boy and is always making us laugh!
