Kevan's Birthday

I surprised Kevan on his birthday and took him to the Orlando Speedway to drive a Nascar racecar. It was the Richard Petty Driving Experience. He went through a training program so he knew how to drive it and then rode with one of the instructors. The instructor drove 145 MPH!!! Then, Kevan got in and was able to drive about 18 or 19 laps. They gave him a paper that listed how well he did on each lap (seconds and MPH). He did about 124 mph!!

Here are some pics from our day (click on one of the pics to see the slideshow of all the pics).

Mission Board

Since Kevan is so handy a couple from the seminary asked Kevan to help them build a Mission Board for their church. Kevan and I did the construction, paint, sanding, etc and the other couple put the map, words, etc together. Here is the finished work. I think it turned out great. He bought a big piece of board, added molding to the sides, painted, sanded and then put a piece of plexi-glass on the front using some decorative knobs.

Christmas 2007

We went to Michigan this year for Christmas and we brought Judy (Kevan's mom) with us. My (Jayde) family lives in Michigan so we drove up from Florida through Tennessee to pick up Judy and then on up to Michigan from there. The drive up was pretty uneventful, but on the ride home we ran into a snow storm and I pulled over to let Kevan drive. I didn't want to end up in the ditch in his nice little red car!

It was nice to see my family and spend Christmas Eve and Christmas with them. My nieces & nephews are the sweetest ones in the whole world!! My little nephew Isaiah kept showing us his "ipod" and would point to his eye and say it's broken. He's 2. It was sooooo funny....I'm sorry I didn't take a picture! We played "Spoons" on Christmas Day at my Aunt Janis' house and it was so much fun! The game got a little physical and I even ended up on the floor when my husband knocked me off my chair while he was trying to get his spoon!

The picture on the water is a picture of the view from our room in Mackinaw City, MI. We went up to see my best friend Julie and her family. It was pretty cold and it snowed the day we left.

RTS Vision

My Afternoon at the Spa!

Well, my best friend got me a gift certificate for a spa visit so I was able to spend the afternoon getting a pedicure & manicure. :o) It was great!! I thought I'd put some pictures out here so she can see how pretty my toes are now. lol!! Thank you Julie!!! Don't I have the cutest feet ever??? I love my feet. lol!!

Front Yard

Judy came to visit us this past weekend and she helped us come up with ideas for our front landscaping. She was able to tell us what would look best, what required shade/sun, etc. She helped us out a lot. See the pics!
