I'm Alive

OK, now I just have to share......isn't this what summer is all about, total sun, water, lake , fair, company, and lots of racing. Very very busy... Went to Kenny Chesney with my family and friends, I taught them all how to play flip cup. I have been helping Tabetha get her class room ready for school. Working lots at the store, taking lots of pictures and scrapbooking. We went to Georgetown in Ocotober for our annual weekend retreat, I had Spooktacklar Camp at the Grant Creek Inn. So as you can see I have been very busy. Beside all that I'm a grandma.... That's the most importan job I will ever have. Yeah It's a boy..... Blake Ross Fackler Photos coming soon.....

CPR

Wow, what a great time I had in Dallas, Texas at Creating Photography Retreat. I had so much fun Meghan and I were exhausted. I really liked how the classes were hands on. We had model their everyday kids, bride and groom, mom's to be all willing for us to take their pictures. We were able to set them up and snap away. Learning how to get that catch light in eyes, trying to be more comfortable (peanut butter and jelly) and defusing light. I really learned alot.

Congrats to my Husband

Yea, my hubby won the big race this weekend. We were at the WILD WEST SHOOT OUT @ Big Sky Kartway. Karts came from all over North Carolina, California, Idaho, Wisconsin, and Iowa. Gary had a clean sweep won everything. Tommy won one heat second in the other heat and 6th in the main. We had a great time. Good job honey. He even made the front page of the sports section.

Happy Fourth of July to all...

Gary won again, he is 4 for 4... I really think that he is on a mission this year. Just because everyone is giving him crap about being a grandpa and everybody know grandpa aren't fast.

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday to my kids today.... Tabetha is 26 and Tommy is 23. Wow where does time go. Please everyone with little ones. Enjoy every moment you can cause it goes so fast. Tonight is race night so that's where we will be on their Birthday no changing that. What do you think Riley told Gary that he should let Tommy win tonight for his birthday present that would be a good present. Gary said I'll just buy him one. He has to earn his wins. I think he should too. Well we will see who win I will update on Sunday.

Look what I came home too.

Went to the movie The Proposal this weekend and came home to my neighbors horses grazing in my yard. They had gotton out and weren't home. Help.... I was so worried about them cause a car came down the road fast and scared them. They took off running wild. They came home about twenty minutes later and we all rescued.
