Robbie is 11!!!

Happy birthday to Robbie, he turned 11 on the 27Th. He had a sleepover last Saturday with two of his Buddy's from school, Eric and Noah and his brothers. They played basketball out front and on the trampoline, Nerf gun fights, golf cart rides, fire in the fire pit, candy, food, cake, pop, movie, and last but certainly not least to Robbie, presents. And on Tuesday we took him to one of his favorite restaurants for a family birthday dinner. After dinner he got to open his presents from us. Robbie was very surprised to open his one big present an "I Pod Touch". Were all very proud of that little man.

Toby Tiler Wonder Dog's new house

Jan hired Luke to to build Toby a new casa to put in her newly fenced back yard. Luke did all the work from design to completion. We are so proud of Luke for doing such a great job with the leftover lumber from next door. The front opening is cute and fits that little dog perfect. Luke also added an access door in back for maintenance. We love the bungalow style look that Luke did on Toby's new crib. I wonder where he got that idea from???

New house update

With the sheet rockers completing the sheet rock, including tape and texture, the finish carpenters moved in and started trimming out the windows and doors. Shannon also had the concrete guys out and poured the garage floor. Its been a bees hive of activity over there this morning, including the delivery of the siding package.

Marty & Kathie Stewart's first race of the season

Marty's first race of the season!

Shan and I had a great time hanging out with Marty and Kathie this last weekend at The Woodburn Dragstrip. They drag race in a class that's called "Pro bracket", where the slower car gets a head start, and the faster car has to wait, then hunt the slower car down by the finish line. Marty actually lost the round on the video by leaving too soon, where I said he won, but he ran exactly to the hundredth of a second what he thought his car would run. That's awesome. He waited for what probably seemed like forever while his opponent is heading down track.
There were Jet cars there too. They put on a big show with lots of smoke, fire, and the whine of the jet engine is really loud, but the coolest thing about them was they ran over three hundred mph in just a quarter mile. Its a show for sure! It looked like the car was going to blow out the windows in the tower. Shan actually took her home work and got some work done in between rounds. Thanks for the hospitality Marty and Kathie and the great BBQ chicken.
