Viva Las Vegas

So we go to Vegas at least once a year for one reason and one reason only....

NHRA drag racing....

Ryan loves it.....It has grown on me....but I really go to get out of town and for the 90 degree weather in October!!
This is John Force.....he is really famous in the racing world...
Hot Rod Fuller

Me and RY

This is Tony....he won the championship this year....I think he is handsome and Ry got mad!! jk ha

It was really hot this dayRyan at the speedway

hApPy LaTe B-dAy LiTtlE mAn!!

This was Nick's birthday party.....with me being a weird bowler....Nick wanted a bowling party.

He invited some friends from school and his other close friends and they has such a good time!!

Nick tells me he is "Profechnald" at bowlingNotice the swing back of the leg {wrong leg..but it works}

He had a cars party...these are some of his friends eating pizza


His BFF Charley and Kara got him the hulk gloves....he was really excited to open a present..peeked inside...and started balling.....
He was afraid of them.....

{a month later...he LOVES them}


This was his present from grandma Lorri and Papa Billy

a "big boy" bike!!

He didn't care about his party the rest of the day...he rode his bike up and down the bowling ally!!!

Instead of a birthday cake, Nickolas wanted "tupcakes"

Me and Ryan wanted to make it fun, so we decorated each one in a different color.....It was painful....the whole time Ryan kept reassuring why we were doing this....."we are good parents arnt we!!" I could do nothing but laugh!!!

Next year we will buy a cake!!

This is Nick at Grandma and papa Holms

Waiting to open presents

What could it be.......YEAH.... a backhoe....and a cars one too!!!

He gets way into this stuff...he thinks it's his birthday everyday now

Rewind.......then fast forward!!

ALMOST a month later and here they are.......

We had a crazy October and it followed into November....and before we know it the snow will be flying and "Santa" will be at our house.

Nickolas's birthday was at the end of October, he turned 3! A few days later me and ry left for Vegas, the weekend we got home was Ashlynn's 5th Birthday....Here is a little catching up if you will........................

This was all the Halloween we got with the kids....We carved PuMpKiNs at G-ma and G-pa Holm's house, the same night we celebrated Nick's birthday with cake and a few gifts from Ry's side of the famI think me and Ryan had more fun with this than the kids

I had to put this pic up....it makes me laugh....This is the typical "Carrie/Ryan" picture, He doesn't know what to do and I'm being a complete brat telling him how to do it!! ha

Ryan PRETTY proud of his pumpkin creation!!*
