Miata Racing!

Greg has picked up a new sport... Miata Racing!
Mark and Greg both have attended numerous races to get enough time in to participate at the big race at TMS. (Texas Motor Speedway)
Greg of course painted his the same as the Grand Sport Corvette, and Mark painted his as Bumblebee from Transformers. Either way you look at it, it's a "guy thing!" Believe it or not, there is actually a huge following for Miata racers. This is a small race, but it was amazing to see the amount of people at the huge race. And, of course, there are more than just Miata's. There was a nice Lotus that I liked. I think we should buy one ;). There are all sorts of cars, not limited to sooped up honda's, corvettes, RX7's, Porche's.

Kien wanted to be the photographer!

Brandy and her friend attended as well and became bored after a little while.

Kien liked watching daddy race, and was his number 2 fan. (Mommy being number 1 first!)

Here's my handsome hubby! Awww, he looks so cute! Eh-hem, I mean MANLY in his race car! (HAHA)

The guys you see standing out in the parking/time trial race area, are working the areas to pick up knocked over cones. It could a dangerous job, that is why the guys/gals need to arrive early to walk the track and have a briefing of their jobs.

Swimming!

Please don't pay attention to the dates on the camera, it was set wrong on the camera. :D
Here we are, all set up at the swim meet. Jeremy poses nicely!
Brandy wasn't allowed to come sit with us, but she was able to come visit between relay's. Kien sure was happy to see her! Of course, he did inquire to take a dip in the pool, however he was greatly disappointed because this wasn't anything like our neighborhood pool. :( He did have plenty of snack and enough comotion around him to keep him satisfied!

Jeremy of course was being a huge help to keep the boys occupied as well. Do notice the lovely tight curls due to the high moisture in the building ;)

Brandy and her friend Kristen getting ready to leave us for their next relay! :)

Here are some more shots of Brandy's swim meets! She is growing up so fast! We are very proud of her. Kien was one of her biggest fans!
Suited up and ready to go!

She is the swimmer 2nd from the right!

Ready... Set... GO!

It was a couple hours long, and in between the relay's she participated in, she was able to come say hello and of course eat. Swimmers, I have discovered, have an unbelievable appetite! She could have 8 meals a day and it not have any effect on her weight! Ah, to be young again! (Ha! Day dreaming)

Breakfast and Britches!

Kien and Gabriel attend the Mother's Day Out program twice a week. Kien's class hosted a "Breakfast With Someone Special" event, and so I had the pleasure to go and eat such yummy food with him! We brought yogurt with blueberries and strawberries in them. They were good, but not very popular. Most of the kiddos liked the grapes and sausage sandwhiches and donuts! Go figure! :D Jeremy likes to carry Kien on his shoulders as every child likes to be way up high! This time, Kien nearly lost his britches! LOL

Diaper Cakes

I have had the honor to create these cakes for sale, and a gift.
Greg's friend Darren and his wife were double blessed! They delivered two boys, twins!
They are so cute in the photos! I didn't even think about it, but I should have built a cake for twins Christmas style!
My sweet friend DeeAnne was hosting a baby shower for a family member and asked if I would put together a cake for her. Sports themed for a boy of course!

Do ya think that the lil guy will be playing sports? :D

Another one of my sweet friends, was hosting a baby shower also, and I had the honor to build this cake for her as well. She purchased the blankets and the puppy, and whaaaalah! It was a HUGE hit! :D

Baptism -A Beautiful Choice

In Matthew 3:13-17 Jesus was baptized. We are to follow his example, and as a statement of faith in Jesus, we choose to be baptized when we accept Christ as our Savior to proclaim outwardly that we are followers of Him.

I was baptized as a baby, and then again when I was 21 years old.

Both Greg and Jeremy were baptized a couple years ago, and Brandy was baptized at summer church camp.

I am sharing this story because Brandy's friend Lex from school began coming to church with us several months ago. He accepted Christ as his Savior and chose to be baptized. This was an exciting time for Lex, Brandy, and us! Lex was sneaky though about telling us AT THE END OF SERVICE!!! His mom came in town from Louisiana to visit with him, and she didn't know until the day of also!
