More Indy Pics.

Here are more pics. from our trip to Indy. There is always a big festival parade the day before the race. We had really good seats again this year. There are usually big Hollywood names there. I'm sure most of you remember AC Slater from Saved By the Bell. Mario Lopez is riding in the red convertable. He still looks good! We also had a close up of Indy driver Danica Patrick. The other pics. are of race day. We were right across from the pits. We got to see a lot of action including seeing Helio Castronovez cross the finish line to win the race.

Indy 500

Here are a few pics. from our weekend in Indy. There is a lot to see at the track. They were promoting the new Transformer movie and the new 2010 Chevy Camaro. Shawn and I each picked out the car we wanted! We were also lucky enough again to get into the garage area on Friday. We met up again with his professor from MU, Dr. Miles. He always has a garage pass that he lets us borrow. Since he just has one we have to move in fast and act like we own the place or at least know what we are doing! In the garage area, you usually see them working on the cars, doing inspections, or if your lucky see someone famous. By the time we got in there this time things were quiet. But we still did see most of the cars. If you would have told me ten years I would be going to the Indy 500 I would have laughed. It's actually a good time and I actually enjoy watching the race and all the crazy people. Shawn actually got to see some nasty lady show off her tatas! He happened to turn at the wrong time! They always have a parade on Saturday before the race. We went last year and again this year. There is always a group that walks together that represents all the different nationalities and cultures. There was a man who I think was Hawaiian, wearing some sort of skirt bearing his cheeks! Of course Shawn missed it,but me and everyone else around us caught it. It was all I needed to see. No pics on that one!

Marissa's new bike

Marissa got a new bike last week from Great Aunt Terri. Of course it is a pink John Deere to go with Dylan's green John Deere bike. She even has the Barbie helmet and pads to go with it. She really took off on it. Dylan may have a hard time keeping up with her! I think she is going to be a little dare devil. It's in the blood!!!

Circus

Kim and I took the kids to the circus in Macon a few weeks ago. Shawn was gone on senior trip so I thought it would be a good time to go. It wasn't exactly what I thought it would be, no big tent. The kids thought it was great. And yes, I am riding an elephant. They wanted to ride really bad but would not ride without me!

Preschool Graduation

Dylan graduated from Wee Kids Christian preschool in April. He is all grown up and ready for kindergarten this fall. I can't believe how fast the time has gone! I'm ready but yet a part of me is not ready to let my baby go!

Easter Sunday

I tried to get a good picture this year, but they don't seem to want to work together or work with me!

Easter Fun

I decided this year that I thought Leonard should have an Easter Egg hunt again. It had been a while since there was one so I decided we would have one again. The kids had a great time and couldn't wait to inhale all the goodies they found!

FFA Barnyard Zoo

Future Farmers? We went to the annual North Shelby FFA barnyard zoo in February. The kids always like to go see the tractors and animals, and of course their dad!

Turtle Time!

The kids are fans of the monster trucks. We, along with the Wiley family, went to KC a few months ago to see Monster Jam. I think Marissa had the best time! We may now officially be rednecks, but the kids still had a blast!

I don't know what you call this! I think I have said before, they like to dress up.

Birthday pics.

I'm finally back to the blog! Still catching up on pictures. Here are birthday pics. from January and February. Marissa turned 3 on 1/26 and Dylan turned 5 on 2/12. We usually make some kind of cake together on their birthdays and then Grandma Kim makes them cool cakes for their party. I think you can tell which is which!

Dylan like to dress up, even in Uncle Jeremy's old suit. He owns two suits himself. For a while he would wear them around the house, now it's usually just to church.

A pick and a grin! Marissa smiles for the camera!

They really do love each other! Kim took these last fall at her house. You never know what they are going to do.
