Thanksgiving 2009

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I definitely couldn't have asked for a better day. I even enjoyed shopping for and preparing for Thanksgiving (I know for me its hard to believe, since I am definitely not a big shopper)!!! I am so Thankful for my family and the time we spent together! This is the second year in a row that Scotty and I have been home to celebrate with my family. I am so glad that we have decided to spend time at home over the holiday... I feel so blessed to have this opportunity, we have our little miracle boy (Brenden), to THANK!!

My First Photo Shoot

I am so excited, Sam and Anthony gave me such an awesome opportunity! Thanks Sam and Anthony! They took time out of their Saturday to let me take some photographs of them and their cute little puppies (Stormy and Lady). I had such a great time!

Avi Laughlin, NV 2009

PlanetSand WestCoast Shootout at the Avi, Laughlin

We are on our way to the Avi Hotel in Laughlin, NV for the Winter PlanetSand WestCoast Shootout. For the first time, ever.... we are on our way when there is still daylight. This trip is going to be extra special for us. It sounds like there are going to be quite a few people coming out to watch Scotty race. My sister-in-law is coming from Wisconsin to meet Brenden for the first time. My sister, brother-in-law and niece are coming to watch for the very first time ever, My father-in-law will be coming up, our friend Bill and last but not least Marvin (a friend of Scotty's from childhood) will be heading up on Saturday. I will be posting pictures through out the week. Here is a photo of Brenden on the way to Laughlin. He is quite a little trooper. He is very excited about the vroom - vrooms....
