After making those pies, the bbq was cancelled. The weather was getting pretty nasty and nobody wantes to risk the chance of getting rained on. So, I decided to go spend the night with my parents. So sunday night I went down there . My mom kept the kids for me for a couple of hours and I went to one of my best friends from high schools house and we did a small photoshoot with her 6 week oild baby boy, Parker. He is ADORABLE!!! When I got back to my parents house, I looked at the pictures of my dads laptop, well when I got home yesterday, I went to look at them and do some editing and they were not on my card AT ALL anymore! I was almost panicking. I called mom adn told her what happend and I am hoping that the program I used on dads computer aoutomatically saved teh pictures to the computer and then deleted them off my card. That is pretty common, I just didnt think of it at the time. Dad had to run into the office for something and his laptop was in his truck, so hopefully today I found out whether or not Dad has the pictures. If not, its not too big of a deal because I recently bought a backdrop and studio lighting set that is supposed to be delivered today. We will be able to get better pictures with all of that. Maybe this weekend I will go down and do it again.

Anyway, on to happier things! FOREST WILL BE HOME TONIGHT......YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got my pies done lastnight for our bible study group bbq today. I made fresh strawberry pies and they look so yummy! Brielle ended up missing her afternoon nap yesterday becaue I really needed to go to the store and by the time Owen woke up so we could go, it was close to her nap time and then by the time we got back, it was dinner time, and then it was too late for her to have a nap, so she went to bed about 7pm lastnight. I put Owen to bed at 8:30 and finished up my pies and cleaned up a bit. I watched tv for a little while in my bedroom and talked to Forest on the phone for a few minutes. After I talked to him i was getting sleepy. It was 10pm. I only made it 10 m inutes before I went in and got Owen out of his bed and put him in mine. Usually when Forest is gone, I let Owen sleep with me. I thought I would be tough lastnight and try it by myself, but i am a big ol' sissy and only made it 10 minutes. The kids both slept til 7:30 this morning, so that was nice. We are going to go to Church at 10:30 this morning, then home for lunch and naps and then off to our bbq. I need to make a side dish of some kind today too to take with us. Anyhow, thats our day!

We went racing lastnight and the kids stayed hom with my nieghbor. It was nie to be there without the kids and worrying about them. Although, we were home early because Forest lost first round. He red-lighted, he left too early so the other car automatically wins. It was a bummer, but you cant win everytime I suppose. I have got a pretty busy next few days ahead of me. Forest left this moring for Lewiston. He will be working there until tuesday night. I am going to make a couple strawberry pies and a potato salad for our bible study group bbq tomorrow. Too bad Forest is going to miss it! Sunday we have church and the bbq, adn then monday I will be spending the day in Hermiston to see my grandparents who will be in town. Monday evening I am going to take some pictures of my friends new baby. He is about 6 weeks old now and way too cute! I am looking forward to our photo shoot.

This is for Grandma Marcine. I want to start collecting more of these. I have one figurine and I have a good start to the nativity set. http://www.willowtree.info/

Owen playing in our trailer at the race track last weekend

Showing off her pigtails. Arent they CUTE?!?!?!??!

The pictures that arent labeled at all are from yesterday evening. Owen has way too much fun on their swingset. He is going to wear that thing out!

So Forest will have tomorrow off! That great because now he doesnthave to miss the race, BUT he has to work saturday through tuesday and he will be out of town! UGH!!! I hate when he is gone. It is so rare that he has to work like this, but when he does, I absolutely hate it. Oh well, what can i do? Monday I am for sure going to hermiston to see my grandma and grandpa and I most likely will stay the night with my mom and dad that night. I have quite a bit to do to keep me busy. Sunday we are going to a bbq qith our bible study group, but it looks like that will just be teh kids and I. I am going to make a potato salad and a couple strawberry pies I think. So saturday will be busy doing that, then church sunday, then naps and then the bbq. Anyway, thats my sob story for the week.

Disappointed

Forest informed me that he most likely has to work out of town all weekend. The found a leak someone near Lewiston that has to be fixed. I am so bummed! Friday night is another points race and being that he is the leader in points, its gonna sick for him to miss this race. It will for sure bump him out of first place. Saturday we were going to go to Hermiston for a carshow, and then sunday we were having a bbq at the park with our bible study group. Looks like it will just be the kids and I doing that one. Oh well, life goes on I suppose.

I went shopping lastnight with my best friend and we were husband and kid-less for the first time in FOREVER!!! I bought a dress to wear on the wine tasting tour we are going on next month. I may return it and find something else though. It shows alot of cleavage and I dont know how comfortable with that I am going to be. We shall see I guess....

I will be posting more pictures of the kids soon. I feel like busting out the camera today!

Not much to report today. The wind is blowing (big surprise, huh?) and today is mowing day. So, it looks like I will be mowing in the wind. Yay, thats just an invitation for my allergies to act up even more. Which by the way, have been aweful!!!! At least the kids havent had too much trouble yet. I have their prescription on hand though for when it does start, because trust me, it will start!

We are going racing again this friday night. It looks like both kids will be going with us since I cant find anyone to keep Brielle. We will see how she does I guess. Its just a little hard on her with her being so young. Owen does awesome. He is totally into it too, so that helps.

Anyway, off I go to play referee between Owen and Brielle. He thinks its great to hurt her as often as he can, so I have to watch them like a hawk. Please Lord, help me through the three's and get onto the four's!!!!

We had another busy weekend. We went racing friday night and Forest made it to the semi finals, but ended up not winning that race because there was something on the track that made him lose traction and the car went a bit sideways, so he had to let off the gas and that cost him the race. It was a bummer, but it was still fun. The next race is this coming friday. Not sure why the track decided to do them back to back. Brielle stayed with Stephanie. If I can find somewhere for her to stay while we go racing, I do. Its hard on her to be out that late and with all the loud cars. I talked to my brother lastnight and him and his girlfriend Kara are most likely going to come to the house to watch her this time and I am thinking I will probably leave Owen here too since he is in absolute LOVE with Kara.

We didnt get him til 1:30 am from the races and then got up early with Owen. We had three graduation parties that we went to that were all outside and it hit 100 degrees that day. Yay, summer is here, but unfortunately so is the heat, yuck!
