Hello Race Fans

Wow what a busy weekend. We started with going to Zoopolis at the Zoo to watch some big turtles race. I got to meet Tony Kanaan there (see attached photo). After that we headed to the track for Community Day. The girls had fun, we drove around the track to make Mr Devon happy.

Friday was Carb Day where the lady friends and I participated in the Carb Day festivities. We had LOTS AND LOTS of drinks. We had a blast.

Saturday was the Playboy Party for Devon and I. We had fun. Lots of dancing, hanging with some Celebrities. We got to see Ludacris, Giles (Naked guy from Sex and the City Movie) , Derek Hough from Dancing with The Stars and Carlos Diaz from Extra. It was nice to dress a little nice and do something fun. And the Conrad is the most gorgeous hotel ever. Their ballrooms are to die for.

Sunday it was Race day!!! We started engines at about 1:10 pm and raced away. My man Will Power did great but fell back and finished 5th. But nobody can hate on Helio for winning. He had a great run. And we had fun here too. Got lots of sun, food and drink. Good times were had by all.

Monday we had a cookout in mind but the rain came down. So we just lounged around and got some much deserved rest after all the running around. Back to the old grind tomorrow.

Mothers Day

Happy Mothers Day to all you moms out there. I started my day by getting 2 adorable handmade plastic bottle vases from the girls. They glued tissue paper all over them and put paper flowers inside them with their pictures on them. We ended up going to Fountain Square today and had a DELICIOUS brunch today. It was some wonderful food. I gave mom her gift of a framed pic of Allison and Zoe (cause you can really never have enough), PJ's and roses.

After we all stuffed our faces and Emily ate every chocolate covered strawberry that she could find, we headed over to Duckpin Bowling. It was all of our first time there. We really enjoyed ourselves. Great times were had by all and we will definatly be doing that again. We headed over to the soda fountain where the good times came to a screeching hault when Zoe had a melt down.

We came home, Allison and I took some flowers to the cemetary and then it was time to weed. We all did some gardening and Devon cut the grass.

Chinese food was our dinner. All in all it was a pretty good day.

We now have mothers day wrapped up. Next up is Girl Scout meetings this week, field trip saturday.

I hope everyone had a great mothers day. Hopefully I can get a picture or two to post.

Here comes the fairy.

Today Zoe lost her front top tooth. She looks so different and of course she is talking a little differnt. Allisons feelings are slightly hurt because she has not lost hers so she will be wiggling her tooth for the next couple months until it falls out.

Other than that Zoe and I are still sick. My throat is on fire, Zoe has a horrible cough but we are making it. Zoe actually stayed home from school today. Last night we met Danya and Ethan at a China Buffet for dinner last night and every time Zoe coughed people were staring like she had Swine Flu.

Tomorrow is FRIDAY!! It is Mothers Day weekend. We will be going to the nice Fountain Square area for Brunch (such a fancy sounding word). Then some Duckpin Bowling.

Busy, busy, busy...

Well the busy weekend is finally over. Unfortunatly the baseball game was a no-go due to the million inches of rain we got. So we went out for a nice family dinner at Frank N Marys instead. Saturday my day of super running around began. We went to one of the girls friends birthday pool parties. I was on top of things making sure we were out of the pool at exactly 3pm.

Then we hauled it home to change clothes and head out to the wedding reception for Mark and Amy. It was wonderful, great food, open bar, lots of dancing, open bar, great music, open bar, beautiful location, oh did I mention that there was an open bar. We had so much fun.

Sunday our feet hurt so bad from our Saturday night dance party I woke up, cut the grass then it was onto Leader/Daughter bowling with Girl Scouts. Of course we all had bumpers. I think a combined score was around 175 for 2 games. Poor little Zoe stepped on the waxed lane and biffed it and fell. But in the end for door prizes her number was pulled (as was mine). A nice older girl gave Allison her prize.

Mom and Dad took Allison to dinner and Devon and I took Zoe for a speical dinner at Bob Evans, which was her decision. Great times had by all and Allison will have her special time next week and her dinner of choice is Steak N Shake.
