On Sunday 10/16/2011 we all met in Las Vegas for the Indy car race. My Dad, 2 brothers (Randy & Marek) and my brother in law Al. It was a beautiful day for a race. 93 degrees and blue sky's. It was a 200 lap race, but on lap 10 there was a 15 car wreak that killed driver Dan Weldon. the race only went 12 laps and then was called off for unsafe track conditions. The cars were going over 220 miles per hour at the time of the crash. I was using my Nikon D-80 with my 70-300 zoom. I just got lucky that I was shooting 6 frames per second at the time of the crash. The pictures tell the story.

Hi All, With the exception of one thing, Kerry and I had a great Christmas. Randy, Robin, Katie, Kolby, Michael, Rebecca, Walker, Jackson, Tia & Nate all stopped by during some part of the day. We had home made Cinnamon rolls, Honey baked ham and all the snacks that go with it, plus Kerry's home made fudge. We all had a great time and got calls from Timmy, Jason & Sammie. I wish that we all could have been together, but with a family as large as ours, we will take what we can get. Kerry & I hope your day was filled with love and happiness and we wish you all a Happy New Year!

When your youngest daughter is old enough to get wine for Christmas and be of legal age, whats that say about us? Katie & Kolby at the tree.
Just Family.

On 12/20/2010 We lost our Roxy. She was hit by a car and died in my arms in front of our house. She was a great friend and looked after Kerry when I was on the road. Our house is so empty now that she is gone. Her brother, Rufus is just lost without her. It was a sad Christmas without her. Roxy, you will be missed forever! Roxy spent one summer on the road when Kerry traveled with me. Roxy ate the grass of 38 states in those 3 months.

If I was sitting down, this is where she would always be.
We met my brother, Randy and his wife, Robin at Black Angus for a pre Christmas dinner and gift exchange. My brother, Randy. Do you think that he might have watched to much Yosemite Sam as a kid?
OH Yeah! Jordon's Mexican food gift card.
