TAG!! You're it!

So Kimberly photo tagged me.  http://reedingrainbow.blogspot.com/  I'm not really sure if I'm going to do this correctly or not...but I'll give it a shot.


The above photo is of non other than 2006 MotoGP WORLD CHAMPION Nicky Hayden.

It was taken two days before the MotoGP race held at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in September of last year.  We had just arrived at the track after driving all morning from Nashville.  Some of the riders were doing a little 'Meet 'n Greet' and Nicky was one of the last ones to get up on stage.  Look closely and you'll notice a crutch.  Nicky had hurt his foot competing in the Super Moto races at X-Games a few weeks prior and still couldn't put much weight on the broken foot.  Despite the injury, young Nicky Hayden did race at Indy that weekend and actually finished on the podium.  Due to the remnants from a hurricane that was sweeping across Indiana the race was held in some of the most treacherous conditions the riders had ever raced in.  It was truly a sight to behold.

Am I in a circus, or what?

It's 9:00pm and I'm reflecting on the day. I'm super tired, but I can't go to bed yet on account of Milla's last feeding for the day (scheduled around 10:00pm or so). I can't help but laugh now that I look back on the events of the day, but I was ready to grab the keys and my purse around 4:00pm. Forget any luggage, I'd just charge everything I need or want when I hit my destination-- wherever that was going to be (probably the first of the Florida Keys for some Key Lime Pie). Did I mention I was going to go alone? Maybe I'd take Milla. . . Let me set the scene for you. . .It's 4:00pm, I've been watching the neighbor's two kids since 11:00am. Yes that's a total of 5 kids-- did I mention I have a one month old? Being the thoughtful wife that I am I decided to make chocolate banana bread so Ty could enjoy a nice warm treat. It's Milla's feeding time and Ty has decided to go down for a nap, so I'm trying to keep all the ...

Family Photos

Ya know how families tend to have a theme when its time to take the annual family picture? Don't know what I'm talking about? Picture Mom, Dad, and all eight kids dressed in faux cowboy shirts with those mother of pearl buttons, blue jeans, and cowboy boots and to top it off, they are all sporting home-made denim vests and cowboy hats. Everybody from teen-age Billy right down to the still-in-diapers toddler all dressed exactly alike. The family is neatly arranged on bales of hay with a cheap looking barn back drop. Get the picture? Anyway, I think I found a family photo that takes the cake...and no, this is not us or anybody I know...its from the internets, so feel free to laugh AT them!
