So I've always want to quilt, but really didn't think I could! I failed the sewing part of home economics! I decided to give it a try, and my sister in law was pregnant at the time so I decided to make her baby boy one, then after I made his I was so proud of myself and had so much fun doing it, that I decided to make her little girls one too! Then I thought it would be cute to buy them a baby of there own and with the left over material, make a matching doll blanket to go with them! It was so much fun making them, and giving them their blankets! They were so cute and excited when I gave them their blankets and dolls! I'm going to go for a higher degree of difficulty in my next quilt so we'll see how that goes!
In other more exciting news Emmy had her baby! He came a couple of weeks early, but he is healthy and doing well! And way tiny! My mom made the final production, so cute right?
Henry's blanket had sock monkey material, thus the giant sock monkey on top
Mia and Izzi's blankets were very similar, however there were a few differences in material to make them their own
Here's cute little Henry!
Mia loved her dolls blanket. It was more her size! (it was so cute to see her curled up on the floor except I couldn't handle that it was the hospital floor)
Mia and Isabelle, two proud sisters

Who is this Kid?

We had a family party on May 30th 2009. We went to the park and played kick ball! I was not planning on being able to play because Gordon was having a rough day and running on one nap! I put him in his stroller and positioned him so that he could watch. Well he sat there content for about 2 hrs! I could not believe it!

He's Going to be a Runner
Just before Gordon turned 9 months he would take one or two steps and fall. Then at about 9 and 1/2 months he started taking a lot of steps! Now he can walk (still a little wobbly) but if he want's to really get something he "runs", falls, and then crawls the rest of the way! I am so ready for the crawling days to be done! His harnds and knees are always dirty and he finds the tiniest things on the floor to put into his mouth!

The Indy 500


Last year, May 25th 2008 we were able to attended the Indianapolis 500, (which is the most coveted race to win in the Indy Car racing series) thanks to Tory's uncle, Roger Penske. He has 2 drivers in the Indy! I'm not going to lie, I did not want to go! I was about 6 months pregnant, watching a bunch of cars go around for 500 miles did not sound like fun! However, it was actually a blast, those cars are so fast and so loud that all I did for the first 30 mins was laugh! (No. I don't know why my reaction was to laugh!) We both had such a great time, and feel very lucky to have been able to attend the INDY 500! When we went, Roger's drivers took 4th (Helio) and 23rd (Brisco), but this year 2009 his driver Helio Castroneves,(You might know him better from dancing with the stars) won the race, making it his third win for the indy 500, and Roger's 15th win! When we were in Indianapolis last year, we got to meet Helio and he was such a nice guy! We are so happy for him! Here are some pictures from last years race...
We went to a fun parade they had down town the day before the race
We got to attend the dinner they held for all the drivers and the sponsers. We were able meet all of Roger's old drivers, including the famous Rick Mears!!!
Car number 3, driver Helio Castroneves
Car number 6, driver is Ryan Brisco
Tory's cousin, Jay Penske's car, driver Tomas Scheckter
Tory and me with are cool head phones, we could hear whatever the drivers and thier pit crew were saying and they also helped us from going deaf with how loud the cars were!
Rogers two cars and Jay's in the middle
Carl, Mikey, Trygg, and Tory in the pits before the race.
