Congratulations to my Nephew on his Confirmation

Sheldon....I am so proud of you. Not only are you a Christian, but you are just a special and talented boy. I love you very much! I can't believe that you are so grown up already. I pray that god always protects and gives my Sheldon much guidance. You make me very honored to be your aunt! You are a great kid!!

CONGRATULATIONS to my Anson Boys!

Well the tortue is over! And even though I felt like I was going to throw up.....Jake Anson raced his first ever night at the Boone County Raceway. It was almost emotional for me. Close....real close. I have known Jake for along time and I have watched him grow up. He use to sit by his Mom and me and watch his Dad race.
What a site, watching Dad and Son race on the same track in the same class.....unfortunately Dummy forgot her Camera! (Dummy is me)
I am so proud of the whole Anson family. First, to Jake for the first time in a race car ever, and a Mod, he didn't spin out or pile it up.....unlike OTHERS who have raced for years. Second, to Dave for a great 6th place run from the back and lastly, to my best friend Rhonda for being solid as a rock....even though she was shaking like a leaf.....
I Love you ALL so much!! I don't know what I would do without my Ansons!

This is our racing picture from last year...the new one. Coming SOON!

Well here it is....

the eve....of the night before the first night of racing. I have mixed feelings about this Dirt track season here in Central Nebraska. My main reason for the hesitation is my fear. Fear that I might shed an obvious tear over the first year in like 10 years that I won't see my driver in the familar Stock Auction 18 car.....and fear watching his young son take over and drive the 6a Modified for the very first time....EVER! I am scared crapless over this. I am excited, sad, scared, apprehensive and thinking back on all the first nights I could NOT wait for Driver to get out there.

So be it as it may. What ever will be will be. But I do know that seeing father and son race on the same track in the same class with definately be a moment in time and one that I am very glad I will have the chance to live.

Make me proud boys. My 'other" brother and me "nephew"! Now you both can give me double the heart condition!

I am honored!!

To have been chosen by Gretchen Tripp to be part of her Digital Scrapbooking Creative Team. For those who are wondering exactly what a Creative Team is...it is a team of Scrapbookers who creative layouts using the Scrapbooking kits created by the designers, in this case kits created by Gretchen. I am so exciteted and so honored to have been chosen.

Currently, I have created two layouts for Gretchen's Team. I have posted at my usual sites in addition to www.elementalscraps.com and www.digishoptalk.com, both of these site sell Gretchen's beautiful kits.

See my Scrapping Blog for the Layouts I created for Gretchen......

Here is my second layout I did for Gretchen's Creative Team using the Admirable Kit. I also did this one because this picture of John and Mindy is just so cute! I just snapped this of them before they went into their reception. Are they not the cutest!

I created this layout for Gretchen Tripp Designs Creative Team. It is also a layout I was inspired to do after seeing this photo of Krissy and I at John and Mindy's wedding on my camera. Love you Krissy and I really do love this layout!

Happy Birthday Kristin......
