Let's Race!

Daddy was in Phoenix for the Nascar race this last weekend. He took requests for shirts.... Joey - Kahne, Stefan - Gordan and Emmi - anything pink or a tank top. I'm proud to announce that he did well! All kids were very happy!

Our good friend, Race Car Roger, is always generous and again sent shirts for the kids. He knows the way to a kids heart... M&M's... they love their shirts... Thank you Race Car Roger.

In memoriam we say good bye to another good friend... Mr. Ike. Mr. Ike lost his battle with cancer Sunday. He was also a huge race car fan... Our thoughts, prayers and love go to his family; especially his beautiful wife Ms. Kacy. Thank you always for your love and friendship.

I'm giong to play football for the Ducks!

This was the quote from Stefan when he returned from the U of O / Arizona State game. He loved it... both boys loved it. They had a great day with Daddy and Tante. They got Duck hats, football cards (which Joey has already memorized names and numbers) good food and met one of Daddy's friends from childhood. Joe's friend, Gary Johnson, is the head trainer for the Arizona football team. He gave Joe the tickets for the game. They were able to see him briefly, but he was pretty busy working. I wish I could have watched the boys experience their first big football game... I remember mine. My dad took me to the University of WA. I don't remember who they played, but I remember loving it. I stayed behind with Emmi and we took in our first bazaar. I'm sure the first of many. Being a WA fan, I guess I'd better learn to say GO Oregon. Especially if the boys think that they may be there some day. Dream big boys.
