1st Time on the Boat

We finally got out on the boat Sunday, it started getting cool so we didn't stay long but Julia seemed to enjoy her trip. We fed some ducks; she thought that was pretty funny. All went well, the life jacket is a little over-powering, but we'll have to try it again soon!

Scary Fast Race Car

This car looks kind of mean doesn't it? One guy came up to Jeff yesterday and told him it sounded angry - I told Jeff he better treat it nice then!

Below is a video of Jeff driving the black super fast race car - this one makes me pretty nervous. We'll be going to Joliet, IL with it next weekend.

At the races

Mom, Dad, Michelle, Jeff and Alec were all here in June. We went to Jeff's qualifying rounds and then the NASCAR race on Sunday. Mom stayed home and babysat Julia. Unfortunately Jeff lost in first round on Sunday, but did well despite that.

We all enjoyed the NASCAR race, not to many crashes, which is good - but not as exciting that way. Next time we'll all make sure we bring radios so we can all follow what's happening - and maybe try a different track that's got sharper curves, the front straight away in MIS is curved so, again less excitement. Alec stocked up on Earnhart Jr gear and it must have been lucky for Jr cuz he won the race. It was fun - glad we got to check out a race live!

Summer 08

Here's a few picts from that last month or so of Julia loving her swing, her new car (of course we had to get her a car, even though she's a little small for it), and eating whatever she can find. ...

4th of July

We enjoyed the 4th and Julia enjoyed the fireworks - never took her eyes off of them. Tobin, Karen and Carter were here for the weekend so we had fun with them and seeing how much both Carter and Julia have grown. We went to a old village and to a petting farm - I had to give Julia her first pony ride. I don't know what she really thought of it, but I thought it was cute and fun, that's all that matters right? Here are a few picts from the weekend:
