The Evo's first day at the track

So I finally was able to make it out to the track with the evo. It was an open track day so nothing too competitive. I will be making some more track days for practice as I will be entering the RedLIne Time Attack in March which is a race against the clock. I am going to be doing some more modifications to the car  with the sponsors I got so that I will be able to compete, and I need some more practice on the track.  ill keep everyone posted as it gets closer to the competition. Ill have some more pics once I download the pics from the camera.

The snuggle Muffin

Had to take a pic of baxter when he curled up in the warm towels-russ

Memories

During thanksgiving, I helped weed through photos to put into a special digital picture frame for my grandparents. While doing so, I found this cute picture of us at Jeni & Chris' wedding. Look at how happy everyone is! :) And Jeni looks so adorable! I love this shot!

He's lovin' it.

So when you're all out of dog food....

What do you do when you wake up in a rush for work and find out that
you're all out of dog food? This was my solution this
morning............and he loved it. He ate all of the marshamellows
first, just like me!

Not again.

So being pulled over sucks.... Right? How about twice in one week? It
happened to Russ' last week and of course I had to be in the car for
both times! He got out of the first ticket, but the second one he ge
got a fix it ticket for his tint. The cop was nice when I asked him if
I could take a "told you so picture" of Russ. He even turned his
lights back on for me so I could get a better shot. If you can click
on the picture and zoom in on Russ' face.

Baxter-zilla

Attack of Baxter. And he thought Halloween was over.... It's fun
packing up things and finding lost treasures like old dog costumes
that still fit.

Lobster Farming.

Riley brought home the bacon, I mean lobster. He went lobster hunting
in San Diego which consists of a night scuba dive. And voilia fresh
lobster for dinner- which was delicious. Thanks Riley!

So it's official. Rachel is 5' 8".

So a few weeks ago, Rachel had a get together at her house and she
said she didn't know how tall she was. So instead of letting her
continue to guess for the rest of her life, we decided to measure.
And it's official. She is 5'8".

Deb & the Christmas tree

Here's the pic

Debbie Gets Ready for Christmas

It never ceases to amaze me what you can fit inside of a mini. This time is was an entire christmas tree. I was impressed, yet I always have a hard time fitting in????

 

I finally got my own Facebook

So after everyone telling me I needed a Facebook.... I finally took the leap today. With some help from Jeni today (and hopefully some training from Amanda & Kristen) I am on my way to being an official Facebook-er. Russ has had one a for a few years... and we've had the magazine for a while, but this is my first! :) Please add us as friends! :)

The winnings

With the winnings debbie got a shirt and I got an evil robot dog for
Baxter. It barks and walks backwards and forwaards

Debbie wins big

We wentto dave and busters for robs bday and we were playing some
games. Debbie walks up to the mega wheel and wins 1,000 tickets which
was awesome. I later got a smaller jackpot of about 350 tix but debbie
was the big winner. I should take her to the roulette table in vegas
and start winning. It was a fun night

Another girls day shot

Girls day at the spa

So Russ and Chris went to a drift show up in Long Beach today so Jen,
mom, and I decided to relax at Burke Williams! It great!

Need a good book to read?

A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle

My review

rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book was a fast read that sparked my imagination. I read this book when I was younger and loved it... my friend Valerie gave me it again as a gift and I just read it for the second time and found it even better than the first time I read it! It really made me think about time, space, distance, etc.... the author has a wonderful imagination and I feel lucky to have been able to have been able to share in it. I just ordered three other books from the same author... "A Wind in the Door," "A Swiftly Tilting Planet," and "Many Waters." I can't wait to see what these books have in store for me.


View all my reviews.

Anyone else read this book? What did you think of it?
Any other good books out there that I should check out?

Nothing says it like writing it in the sky

So yesterday (Monday) around 2pm, my boss and I were driving back from looking at some potential properties to move to for our business.... when all of a sudden I noticed in thh sky, plans writing VOTE YES ON PROP 8. Pretty cool.

Voting yeah!

I voted. Have you yet?

More pictures for this weekend with the Taylors!

So we had tons of fun this weekend!  Here are some pics from "CathyVision" (aka Cathy with her iPhone!)

Rip tide again!

Heather, Scott, Russ', cathy, brian and I went to our favorite sushi
place for lunch today!

Yes on Prop 8

Driving around town today we noticed a lot of people with yes signs and a lot of people with no signs.  So to do our part, we drove around  and Scott and I held our yes on prop 8 signs out the window.  On El Toro Road we hit a red light and got next to a whole bunch of NO on 8 people holding signs. So we started chanting "yes on 8" and they started chanting "No on 8". We were yelling back and forth for like two minutes and the light didn't change so we stopped chanting and then they stopped... and then it was really awkward as we sat at the light for about 5 minutes. But overall the sign holding was fun!
