Seriously???

I can't believe that I really haven't updated our blog since 2009... seriously???  As Makayla would say, "Fail."

Well, since it's been at least a year and a half since the last update, of course many things have changed!  The kids are older, and so am I.  Makayla will graduate 8th grade in few short weeks, she has "retired" from go-kart racing, and she is SO excited for high school.  I, of course, am freaking out - how can I have a kid old enough to go to high school?!  Cole is testing my nerves daily, and apparently going to major in video games in college, so he's getting a head start on that now...

Jon continues to race when time and money allow.  He's loving racing a shifter kart and when he doesn't beat himself, he doesn't do half bad!  Here are some recent pics... and again I promise to keep up with this...

Love, Courtney

Family Day in Pinewood - 2009

We got to spend a beautiful day in the pines with almost the entire family last weekend! It was good weather, good company, good food and a good time!

1st Day of School - 2009

Well, the 2009-2010 school year started officially yesterday! Makayla is in 7th grade this year, and Cole is in 3rd! I am so proud of both of my kids - they are truly great kids!

"Coleslaw"

Our "little" Cole, or Coleslaw as Chuck has nicknamed him, is growing up so fast! He turned 8 in June and also played his first ever season of basketball! Now he's off to 3rd grade! Where does the time go?

Campland 2009

We had an absolutely wonderful time at Campland on the Bay this year! A whole week on the beach with great friends! We look forward to our now annual trip next year with the Kuehl's, Sanders, Nemetz, DeMarino's and Lathrop's!

Mother's Day 2009

Mother's Day this year was again spent with all of the Mom's in Prescott! We had a great day of eating and shopping - our two favorite past times!

Annual Girl's Trip - March 2009

Although we were missing a few family members, we had a great time again in San Diego for our annual trip! What can be better than vacation, shopping and eating with those you love???

Where to begin... Elyse's Wedding will do!

Elyse & A.J. finally tied the knot in December and we were so happy to be a part of it!

Bling It On...

So, my cousin Casey and I have started our own business (we're just about to hit the 1 year mark) adding bling to flip flops, hats, hair accessories and now clothing! It all started with the flip flops, but now we're creating custom clothing too! Visit our website at www.blingitonshop.com!

Stupid Hobby Racing Update

Jon has joined the racing family at PKRA and is doing pretty well, despite earning the family nickname of "Tornado" (passed down from my Uncle Tom) and finished 3rd at his last race! Makayla is doing great in her new HPV2 kart, and has posted two 5th place finishes in a row! We are proud of both of them! Check out their new website at www.stupidhobbyracing.com!
