Because this started out as a racing updates blog, I suppose I should of updated how racing in Arizona went (over a week ago)! Well, not the greatest, that's for sure. The first night Shane wrecked...to the point of unfixable. (Well, fixable, but not something you can fix at the racetrack in your trailer). So they offered him to drive another car that they had down there. Pretty trusting people to give ya a second chance after you just demolished the first one :) A guy in front of Shane blew up his engine, so Shane slowed up and a car behind him got into the back of him and he hit wall pretty good. He made the feature the first 2 nights and on the 3rd night, had issues with handling and something leaking (IDK)....so they parked the car for the remainder of the weekend. On the up-side.....the weather was beautiful (or so they say)!! Sunny & Warm with not a cloud in sight!! A tad chilly when the sun went down though. Now if only I can find a way to get more vacation time out of my job! :)
I bought a new laptop, and being I know NOTHING about computers, I took the advice of the saleswomen at a family owned company and bought one for $650. She said it had "x" amount of ram, GB, yada, yada, etc. and it was quite a bit more than my $400 pile that crashed. Well, wouldn't ya know it, I liked my cheaper one better. Not to mention, this thing I'm currently on is SLOW and often says "internet explorer cannot display the webpage". Frustrating to the point that I sometimes want to smash it with a hammer (like mid purchase of online shopping) :) Anyway, I will be returning this one, or exchanging it or something, so I won't be uploading any pics to this computer. Sorry!
Braelyn is growing so fast... She is turning into a little chunker with legs like her momma (short and chubby ;) Although I do have to add that I'm pretty proud of myself for sticking to my workout routine and staying away from fast food (except Subway). We used to eat McDonalds at least 3 times a week, and just not eating there, and doing a half-hour workout a day has helped me drop the baby fat. Shane and I have both dropped 10 pounds since December, but now I just have to figure out a way to lose the extra skin :/
Mason is currently addicted to Super Mario Bros, both on the Wii and his DS. We have a rule that he cannot play during daycare hours, but he would definitely choose to play ALL DAY if we let him. Hopefully it's just a phase, and he's not a permanent video game junkie. :)
Shane's been working on a vintage snowmobile to race in Detroit Lakes the beginning of February. We also have a weekend snowmobile trip planned for mid february. Other than that, we haven't been up to a whole lot- just watching B (Braelyn) learn new things (like how to eat her whole fist, giggle when shes ready to cry, and starting to grab at things). I know it sounds like the pettiest things, but if you have kids, you'll understand! That's all for now!
