Indy 500...Part 3 of 4

The night before the race we had a fancy Banquet Dinner to attend.

Before the party the hotel delivered a "car" with checkered "flags" to our room. 


At the party they served us a fancy dinner.

We watched some Firestone commercials and interesting things about racing.


Indy 500...Part 4 of 4

Finally, the morning of the big race!

There were many buses going from the Marriott to the Racetrack all full of Firestone affiliated people.  We were on bus #8.

Angela came for a visit!! YAY!

My (ahem, this is Brandy typing this) best friend since forever, Angela drove 10+ hours with her two kids to come and visit me!!  Yay!

Here are some highlights:

We hung out around the house, went swimming, got sick (not from swimming though!), we played with a massive amount of glow sticks, went shopping, which with Angela is always a blast! And had a great time, sickness and all!














I sure wish we lived closer so we didn't have to drive 10+ hours just to hang out.  But don't worry we make the most of every minute together...and then talk for hours when we aren't.  Love you girlie!! And your kiddos too!!

Office quilt done! ...finally!


I started this quilt several months ago and I finished most of it, but then it sat waiting for binding for several more months and I finally finished it last week. I don't like how I quilted this one but it is what it is now. (Usually I like my meandering stitch close together and small, this one I rushed through and it ended up big and loopy looking.)

I made it to go in our office, it has matching pillows.

It has very happy colors.

We Went To The Arctic!

On Saturday we took a trip to the Science Center and enjoyed a IMAX 3D movie: To the Arctic!

This was the first 3D movie the kids have seen.  They loved it!  They were all amazed when it looked like things were going to hit them, or like it was snowing around them. 

We look so cool!

A Kindergarten Zoo Trip!

The kindergarten zoo trip is always so fun!

Katie loved the flamingos!


Another quilt...

Robert calls this quilt the honeycomb quilt.




It was super easy and one of my favorite to sew!

April 1st!

On April First 2013 I made cupcakes for dinner!  The kids were so excited!!

I wish I had a camera in hand when James licked the frosting...


...and when I yelled APRIL FOOLS!

These are meatloaf "cupcakes" with mashed potato "frosting" and carrot "sprinkles". 

It was awesome!  And yes, I did pipe on the "frosting" to make sure they looked authentic.
