Rangers vs. D-Backs



Surprised justin with tickets to the Rangers game, and guess who they were playing! The AZ Diamondbacks! We stopped and ate at steak and shake before the game, which has been on the to do list since we moved here! Same yummy goodness that they have in indiana! 

We only saw maybe one other dback fan!! We were surrounded by rangers fans!! 



The kid next to us got the biggest hot dog I have ever seen. It had at least 5 hot dogs worth with chili and cheese on top. he ate the WHOLE thing. wasnt looking so great when he left.  


Talk about some good seats :)

Firestone 550 - Texas Motor Speedway

So my dad came in town this weekend for the Firestone 550 Indycar race at Texas Motor Speedway. We got a campsite on the speedway grounds so we didnt have to drive home at night after the race (Smart!) 

 The poor little tree didnt give us much shade but it was enough. 
 Before the indycar race they had Rallycross which was sooo cool to watch. travis Pastrama! Yeah! 

 Lining up to start the race!
 Meanwhile in the bleachers....... Doing the hula hoop for free stuff!

 Here they Come! Indycar!!
 It was pretty hot out but we tried our best to stay cool and refreshed. Refreshments were important!
Like Snow Cones!!! Yumm!!!

 Indycar under the lights! wooo!

 They let us go down into the pits after the race to watch all the teams pack up. Refreshments in hand ;)

 Go Ed Carpenter! 
 If anyone wonders what his heaven will look like. It will be this. Happiest kid around at the races!
 Man I have one good looking dad! oh and pretty good photo skills, especially after all day refreshments!

 Could you imagine this at 300mph? No thanks. 
 Discussing the race probably.
More Discussions while walking back to the tent where we heated up some ribs that we made the day before. They were SOOO good after a long day! fortunately it cooled down just enough to be bearable once the sun went down so it was nice hanging out by the campsite. We played a little catch phrase then hit the sack! Got up early with the sun and headed home!

California Wedding

Went to california for a wedding for justin's cousin. It was really nice to get to meet his side of the family! Got to meet grandma, Aunt's uncles and cousins. I wish we would have been able to stay a little longer to spend more time with them but at least I got to meet them.

When we got in it was rush hour traffic time in LA so we decided to drive up the coast instead of take the freeways.

It was a nice weekend we got to go to the beach for a little but but Ron (Justin's dad) had just had a surgery and didnt want to be in the sun, not only that we didnt have a lot of time to spend at the beach before we had to get on the plane.


Sorry I cant find the pictures from this weekend!
