Mark "Earnhardt" Ward

A mother never stops worrying about her children - even when they are adults!!! Mark has been getting his new car ready for the new race season starting next week. A couple of weeks ago, the fairgrounds held a "play day" for the race car drivers to test drive their car and fine tune them before the first race.

Here is a video of Mark winning the race - he won because he was the only one out there!

He improved a lot in the last year and actually led one race for 12 of 25 laps - til the engine caught on fire and lost a tire a couple of laps later!!! Made my heart pound!!!

A Few More Pics of Buffy, Karlie (And Mark Too!)

Just wanted to share a few more pics of our wonderful visit!!

This is Karlie's happy face.

This is Karlie's silly face!!

Karlie kissing Meowie (that is what she calls cats)

Karlie enjoyed playing in the back yard - look! a chair just my size!

Helping Grandma Barbie!

Just chilling with Uncle Mark

Karlie loved walking and practicing her "steppy". These days, everything ends in "y"...cuppy, steppy, etc.

Trying out her watering can.

Trying on Grandma's slippers!

These are blocks and a wagon that my grandpa made for my mother - notice her initials - B C - on the cart.

Bought Karlie her first motorcycle vest at a rally in Arizona. Now she has one to wear when she is on the road with her daddy and mama!

Karlie sitting on Grandpa's Harley!

Grandpa sitting on Karlie's chair!!

I found a little munchkin in the tree!

Can't wait for the next visit!!

Easter With Buffy And Karlie

Had a wonderful time last week when Buffy and Karlie came to visit us. Karlie has grown soo much!!! Grandma bought her some toys to play with.

It is amazing to watch children at this age - they are so fascinated with everything they discover.

We took Karlie to the fairgrounds for her first easter egg hunt. Doesn't she look just precious in her easter dress!!!

There were many children - at least it was divided into age groups. This was the age group for 1 to 2 years and one parent was allowed to assist.

Oooh!!! I found an egg!!!

Here's Grandama Barbie helping Karlie dye her first easter eggs!

Karlie gave up on using the little scooper and just reached in!

We had a couple more easter egg hunts in the backyard too!

For more easter pics of Karlie, check out the link to Buffy, Scott and Karlie's web site. There is a cute video of the egg dying too!

Creating a Blog!
