Christmas Card 2012

2nd Day of Christmas vacation

Saturday we woke up and went to Shoney's.  Then we headed over to NASCARS speed park.   We bought the boys a wristband and just let them do want they wanted.

They let me and Stephen ride one a BIG go cart and he only wanted to do it one time!

I just mostly stayed with Stephen and we stayed in the kiddie section.

I did go over and watch my little race car driver.  He was tearing the track up.  2 guys kept saying he should totaly race cars.  Jackson keep saying I do.  Finally I was like yeah he drives a Jr. Dragster.  

Stephen didn't like the go carts to much!

After about 3 or 4 hours at the go carts we went back to the hotel to hit up the beach again!

Another fail at the Christmas card picture!

I loved this of Stephen's little hand!

After the beach the kids played at the pool!

We went back to the go cart track so they could play some more.

We stopped at a hot dog place and ate supper.  We got ice cream there if you couldn't tell.  AND I even helped feed Stephen his ice cream!

We had to check out the work out room!!

Christmas Vacation 2012

Every year we try to do some kind of small Christmas vacation.  This year it just worked out for us to go the very beginning of December.  We had only been home 4 days from our Thanksgiving Race and neither Bart or I really wanted to pack up and go somewhere else.  We just went to Myrtle Beach for 2 nights.

Friday we got there in just enough time to go to this HUGE craft fair they were doing.  4 stories FULL of crafty stuff!!

We let the boys spend $1 at the chocolate fountain.

Then we hit up the beach!  It was warm outside, but the water was chilly!

It doesn't matter how cold it is he was playing in the sand/water!

That night we went to Cheeseburger in Paradise!

They had to much fun playing with the door!

My husband hates pictures.

After dinner we drove around and tried to figure out what we wanted to do for the next day.  I saw this and thought it would be perfect for a Christmas card picture?

I finally gave up!

Thanksgiving Race and Jackson's PERFECT light .000

I gave Jackson's dad my Thanksgiving and he gave me his weekend.  Jackson has been wanting to go to Montgomery Motorsports to race ever since he started racing.  We have several friends that go to the Thanksgiving race and a few that race there normal race days.  It didn't disappoint.  It was a super fun laid back track.  It was a SEJRA race and those races are fun in it self!

It didn't start off to great.  We blew a tire at spaghetti junction.  Thankfully my inlaws followed us down there and were behind us.  Bart and Farrell changed it pretty fast!! 

I don't know why I take pictures of his dial in???

In between time trials and runs the kids had a ball playing.

Jackson got a PERFECT light while there!  He lost the round itself, but we were super proud of the .000 light.  His first one ever!  Thank God for buy backs cause he was actually able to win a few rounds each night! 

Stephen wanted to display he was proud of his Skelton racin shirt so he wore it with the Skelton on the front!!

After the race Saturday Bart took all the weight out of his car.  Since Jackson is now 10 he is able to run his car 8.90 instead of the 12.90.  He took all the weight out and he only went like 11.40???  The wind and weather plays so much in this racing that is was soooo slow.

Here's a video of him running his car.  

Stephen had been SOOOO sick from the Tuesday before Thanksgiving and this was Saturday night.  His fever finally broke sometime in the night and he had a nasty fever blister.

Didn't want to wear his frog hat anymore and his hair looked like this!

Oh that face gets me every time!!

Didn't want a pic with his mom!
