tis the season to enjoy a little of everything...


Heather's first concert.. she was taking a cheeze it break w/ her friend Zoe

You are way to young to be stealing Daddy's wallet little one!! LOL I guess she had some last min shopping to finish too
 We went to have breakfast with Santa. Heather and a few of her little friends had a great time playing in the snow, going on a train ride checking out the sled hill and even sharing their breakfast with each other. Santa was even cool to see... from a distance that is.. it was all good until they were right next to him. I guess you cant blame them.. who wouldnt be scared of a person all dressed in red polyester LOL Santa said they are still on the good list though =) the kiddies are loving the lights and decorations this year.. its so much fun
the train ride at breakfast w/ Santa

its snowing!! Heather had a blast w/ her friends in the snow (I did too) :)

Santa was NOT so loved this year.. even though Heather's shirt says she believes in Santa.. I think its only from a distance...
 We ventured to Oatman AZ while we were at the races in Laughlin. The weather was perfect! Oatman has wild donkeys roaming the streets and a lot of the shops sell carrots and hay bags for a buck so you can feed them.. you do have to be careful as they LOVE carrots and you have to watch your step too. Its like taking a step back in time.. the people are so nice too. Its a great place to check out if you are in the area.. they have great places for lunch too if you have the time :)
Daddy and his baby girl being silly

Heather got to feed the wild baby donkey in Oatman

we caught a glimpse of the rare donkalope that roams Oatman

Is that a stil outside the tatoo place? LOL
 Here are a few pics of the race in Laughlin, there are more on the family website. We raced in two classes and were in first place in both classes.. we would have won both if the truck didnt do a nice little flip during the last lap on sat. Everyone was ok and they landed back on the wheels but some suspension broke and we had to call it quits. Laughlin is one of our favorite places to race so it was nice to be back!
Here she is.. the night before the races (that's why she looks all clean haha)

The girls were getting some tips on how to start their own race team..

catchin some air

Heather was checking out what Daddy is seeing...

Amazing sunsets in the desert

You are wondering what she is thinking too arent you...

Happy Dance

Nyotaimori anyone?

Our friend Jackie threw a surprise 30th Birthday party for her hubby Daniel. Daniel and his buddies enjoy going out for sushi when they can so Jackie surprised him with a sushi party, which included a sushi chef to make anything you desired, a great bar and the Nyotaimoir (aka naked sushi). Its a considered an art form of the Geisha's and has a long history in Japan. It was a great party and so nice to see some old friends. Our living room was turned into the kids zone and the backyard and patio became the sushi palace for the night.

This is the behind the scenes look of where the model was going to be


beautiful spread for the food

Surprise Daniel.. he was wondering why no one was able to go hunting this weekend!

flashback to the TC house.. Jerah, Joel, Daniel and Kevin

The sushi chef made little butterfly carrots for the kiddies

Devyn was showing the kiddies how to play the monkey in the box

The Model was just revealed (she was a surprise, everyone thought it was just the great sushi chef, they didnt know it was going to be served nyotaimori style


Chris is just silly.. aaahh the many uses of chop sticks


She does a few different poses

This is the cake.. Daniels sister, Tiffany, made it..everything on it is edible. She's so creative!

A few of the kiddies that were still awake helped blow out the candles
Daniel was surprised with the party and happy to see his friends and family. His bday really isnt until Dec but with the holidays coming up and all Jackie didnt want his big 30 to get pushed to the side. Jackie did a great job with the party, everyone had a blast!

Halloween Weekend

We had a great Halloween weekend with friends. We went to some parties, a carnival at the park and got to dress up and goof off
Aaron and Heather are trying not to look like they are into mischief.. but we all know the truth :)

Look out. there's a wild sock monkey on the loose, she may look cute but she will attack you with tickles at any given moment

Heather and her Uncle Jeremy talking about Halloween

this was the only thing that scared Heather..a green bay fan!

Our friend goes all out with decorating.. what a great party
