October



George on the tour at Roloff farms
 At the beginning of the month Judy and Marc came to visit :)  They brought beautiful weather with them too :)  Marc has been a fan of Little people, big world.  We went to the Roloff farms here in Hillsboro to see if we could see any of the family.  We did see Amy but actually got pictures with Matt.  It was a successful visit :)

 One of our favorite places at Seaside :)  I couldn't believe Judy had never been there so we went and tried on a billion hats :)

Tayler's Senior Pictures





 Which one do you like? What a day.  The picture below shows more of what I had to deal with while trying to get these.  Of course I liked that over the bad attitude. I think we got some good ones though and I like them a lot.

2013 NorthWest Nationals


 
Post continued below ;-)

NHRA NW Nationals

 George has always wanted to go to the NW Nationals in Seattle. So this year we decided to go. Marc is a huge fan and said if we ever went to give him a call. It was a little inconvenient since it was the day after our Family Reunion. I'm glad that Marc and Judy came to show us the rope's :)  It was kind of funny before the nitro dragsters Marc had told Judy to watch George and I not the race.  I guess we put on quite a show.  The  alcohol cars were really really loud but the nitro cars were......super deduper loud :) The cars get up to 325 miles per hour in 3.1 seconds.  So yeah just a little impressive. We all had ear plugs in and it was still really loud.  Our seats rumbled, the percussion from the exhaust hit us like a brick wall, it actually made us move backwards, it actually kind of hurt me.  George says it makes his sub woofer seem nonexistent or puts it to shame :)

 One of the perks of going to the races is that everyone gets to walk around the Pits or Nitro Alley.  The cars are being worked on and started up (really loud and made our eyes water) but interesting.
George Young and John Force
 The drivers come out and sign things and take pictures with the fans. George was most excited by the Force family.  I had no idea who they were. I know more now :)
Courtney Force and Lora Young
 We had seats really close to the starting line, where the Christmas Tree is. We had little black specks all over us after the races.  We aren't sure if it was oil or pieces of tire or what but like I said when the Nitro cars went we were hit with a wall of something :)

I totally think Jesse James is a scum bag but he was there watching his wife race. I think I will leave it at that.


 George got quite a few signatures, totally made his day :)

 The last day as we were leaving the Force cars were out and we could walk right up to them.  Look in them and everything.  I was impressed that they would let that happen.  It was definitely an experience.  I am glad we did it and had more fun than I thought I would.  I would do it again.  Maybe next year :)

McCall Idaho: Family Reunion 2013

Tayler Young and Tage Kinsman (Kasey's little boy)
 I was going to be all great and put these pictures on in a organized manner. Then I had so many that I'm just going to leave it like it is.  I think the pictures speak for themselves anyway.
Jackie and Tyler Jones
 McCall Idaho is a cute little town surrounding Payette lake right next to Ponderosa state park. Beautiful mountains and lot's of trees and wildflowers.  It had just rained a little when we got to the resort and the smell was heavenly, fresh clean mountain air.  Smelled just like at the cabin.  I was in love from the get go :)
Doug Kinsman and Tage Kinsman
 We spent as much time as we could playing on the lake.  It was cold but not bad.  The kids just had so much fun.  I love watching them having fun together.
Tage Kinsman, Chance Kinsman and Emma Young

 We played games almost every night.  So much fun and so loud! It was great.

 Tuesday we all rented a Pontoon boat, speed boat and three jet skies.  It was fabulous!  We were at the lake from 9 to around 6 that night. We all slept really well that night.

 We can't go on vacation without some shopping :)  We had just bought some ice cream down the famous ice cream alley (it is really down an alley, walking on gravel  past propane tanks and everything) when we came across Russ and Jenni and their family shopping. It was a great time :)
