The things children say

I love the things children say, especially when the words seems so grown up and they are so little. I just read Jamie's blog where Emily said "now I have my ticket to Heaven." It filled my heart and made me smile. Today in the car driving back from Kids Kingdom, Rebekah put her hand on my arm and said, " Mom, I apologize for everything since I was born." I cracked up laughing. Now if you know Rebekah, you understand why that is funny. Rebekah is our most trying child we have. She is extremely persistant, and headstrong. She can negotiate like nobody's business. So I told her apology accepted and continued to drive home, with my heart filled with life's simple little blessings.

Go Karts Part 2

Ok so Tim took his office staff to Need 2 Speed today for a meeting and some racing. I was going to go along so that I could take pictures, however my wonderful, super sweet loving husband said that he'd video tape and I could race. YES!

Everyone who was going was pretty excited. Few had never been there before. Then there's Chris. Hardcore racer. And don't forget his brother Mark. The first race we had was a warm up. Mark took first place in that race. Then the second race we had Chris took first place. Surprisingly Holly our office manager took 3rd place in the first race. As for me, I took 6th place both races. =( Guess I need some more practice. Overall we had a blast.

Go Karts!

Amy and I had the opportunity to ride the Go-Karts at Need 2 Speed.
If you've never done this, I highly reccomend it! I absolutely LOVED it.
(When I drove my Pontiac Grand Prix, my kids were constantly reminding me "Mom, your not a race car driver.")
If I ever had the chance to go one one of those Fantasy Vacation Camps, I would choose race car driving.

These area few pictures of my cousin Amy and I out on the lake. I haven't seen Amy since I was 7 years old and she came to live with us for a while.
We did many things this week, indoor go-karts, hiking to Mossbrae Falls in Dunsmuir, visiting her father in Mt.Shasta, Sundial bridge and Turtle Bay Museum.
We had some minor communication difficulties, I wish my signing was better so that I could talk about more in depth subjects.
