Joey goes Racin'!!!

For Christmas Joey received a chance to drive 8 laps in a Nascar car. He drove yesterday at Phoenix International Raceway, and we were able to go watch. Because I was juggling the kids, I did not get video of him zooming past, but the clip shows him climbing out and his friend Tanner, drives past in the background. That will give you an idea of how fast they were going.
Here are some photos of his "pit crew" and his gear!

 Even strapped into a race car, the sun devil pride is apparent!


The Wedding

Casey, joey's brother, married Janea on March 7. Here are a few shots of our family in our wedding best!
As a side note, since this is the last of Joey's siblings to be married, we decided to use the event as motivation to get healthy. Starting in January Joey and I started what Luke describes as "a diet for health". The day of the wedding, each of us was only shy of our goal by one pound! We are quite proud of ourselves. After the wedding Luke asked, "Are you still eating for health?" Gotta keep it up.
