Hello All,

Well thanks to my wonderful sister, Jayme I again have a new fantastic blog. Well the holidays are over and it is back to the norm. I am just getting over a very bad cold and sinus infection. I was down for the count all last week. I still have some congestion and cough left but all and all I am doing much better.

Brandon celebrated his 10th birthday last Sunday. I can't believe he is already 10. He was able to have his friend Kevin over for the weekend. I took the boys to see Marley and me. It was a good movie but very sad at the end. Brandon and I cried our eyes out.

Brent and Brian had Baby Grand school last Sunday. This was just to learn about the cars and different things in a classroom setting. He will be going to driving school on February 22nd. Brian is frantically trying to get the car ready for that day.

This weekend is a 3 day weekend for all of us as it is a Holiday for Martin Luther King's Birthday. Brian was suppose to work but requested the time off to be home with us. We do not have any plans at this time as I know Brian has a lot to do on the Baby Grand. It is probably going to be another quiet weekend for us.

The weather here has been awesome. We have had 70 degree weather all week. I feel bad for my sister, aunt, uncle and grandpa in Tennessee. They have been having below 10 degree weather and snow. I bet they wish they were here in "sunny" California right now.

Well I better go and get to bed so that I can be ready for work tomorrow morning. Talk to you all soon. Have a great weekend.

Christmas 2008

The Christmas Holiday

Well Christmas is finally over and now I look forward to the new year. We had a wonderful Christmas. I made my first Christmas Eve dinner. I made prime rib for the first time ever with the help of course of Malma. We had prime rib, seasoned red potatoes, salad, fruit salad(made by Brandon), ravioli's and dinner rolls. My dad, Malma, Justin, Daveen, Kathy and Jerry were all there to enjoy a nice Christmas Eve.

On Christmas Day I had my mom and Gary over for breakfast along with Kathy and Jerry. After breakfast the kids opened their presents. The Hill family stopped in for a visit before going to a friend's house for dinner. After that it was time to prepare for the boys to head to Tennessee.

We woke up and loaded the car on Friday and headed to the Sacramento airport to drop the boys and my mom off for their trip. I cried when I said goodbye as it was hard to see them go. They arrived in Atlanta on time but got delayed for an hour and a half there so they ended up getting to Tennessee at 12:13am instead of 10:47pm. The good news however was they did get there. When I talked to them yesterday, they were having a great time visiting.

As far me and Brian we went out last night to see Valkyrie and then out to dinner with Bill and Julie Hill. Today I am getting caught up with my laundry and Brian is working on the Babygrand.

Well that's all for now. Have a wonderful week and Happy New Years to all.

Hello Again

Yes I'm back. Thank you goes out to my sister, Jayme for her wonderful new blog creation for me. I have been so busy with work and our move. We are finally all moved in. Now the unpacking and organizing begins. My Stepmom aka Malma came over last weekend and helped me put some pictures on the walls so at least my house is starting to feel like home. This weekend we are going to start the Christmas decorating. The boys have been itching to start, especially Brandon. He can't wait. I also plan to start and finish my Christmas shopping hopefully. Well with our racing season done until spring there has not been very much else happening. The boys and my mom will be heading to Tennessee for a week the day after Christmas and they are very excited. School for them will be out starting next Friday. They are looking forward to that as well. As for me I have a full work week next week and then I have to work Monday and Tuesday and then I am off until the 29th of December. I am so looking forward to the time off. It has been very hectic at work lately.

Well I better go so I can get the boys ready for bed and get settled for Survivor Thursday. Have a very nice weekend and I will blog again soon with some pictures of the new Curran pad.
