MiniMoto Riding!!

We have an event (tonight, actually) that is a dirt bike/moto-cross event for the smaller cc dirtbikes called MiniMotoSX. It's a REALLY fun event. The promoters let us ride the bikes last night on the track! It was AWESOME! I'm trying to, now, figure out how I can stretch our tax return into getting some! I miss riding. It was really a lot of fun. They started me out on a 250cc...but that was a little big. LOL



This was the track I rode on.

Update...What the heck have we been up to!?

I haven't updated this thing in a while. Oops! So, let's see...it's the beginning of March. On Sunday, Jim and I will have been married for one and a half years! I know that might not seem like a long time, but to think that one and a half years have gone by so quickly makes me want to sllllloooooowww ddoooowwwnnn!
We've had a lot of events at the Orleans Arena - check out the site if you're ever in town and want to come to a show. Part of my job is working on the Meet and Greets with the preformers that we have here. Rarely do artists ask the 'venue workers' to get in and take a picture with them. Reba McEntire and Larry the Cable Guy were two that did. Very nice people!! Very nice to their fans, too.

Before the event began (and the public was let in) Larry and some of his production crew were 'air guitaring' a concert! It was hilarious! A couple of us threw fake flowers at them and pretended to be outragious fans. It was a lot of fun. That's a fun story from part of my job.

Here's one with Reba -
We're going to Denver in 2 weeks! I can't wait! I'll be taking a lot of photos!!
I've ALWAYS wanted to see the Harlem Globetrotters! We had them here this year and I got to watch them! I was so happy!! I was also lucky enough to get my friend Niki and her little brother (from Big Brothers, Big Sisters) in to watch and meet the Globetrotters! It was so heartwarming to watch it through his eyes!
Jim's been a VERY BUSY MAN!! He started a new job with a Mobile Billboard company - Big Traffic. He also went to Phoenix to work for the NBA All Star Game! He worked on all of the Fan Fest Activities including the Celebrity Basketball Game, Slam Dunk Challenge, and many more! He saw a lot of celebrities and sat in the club level to watch the game. Now, he's working with the West Coast Conference Basketball Championships doing all of their game day operations - staffing, entertainment, etc. It's such a great opportunity for him (and actually going on right now). I'm so proud of how well he's doing (and not surprised at ALL!).

Well, I'm sure I'll get some more on here, soon. :) Love you all! And, you know we miss you!

Decorating The House For Christmas

We decorated the house the other day...here are a couple of pictures.

Plus, it's my Momma's B-Day today...Happy Birthday Mom!

Christmas Tree and Stockings!

Jim putting the Star on the top of the Tree!!

I've ALWAYS wanted to put garland on the stair case!

It Snowed!

So, it snowed in Las Vegas on Monday and today! And, let's just say, that's not normal! 

I just don't think these pictures do it justice. Driving around seeing snow on your everything that really never gets touched with snow is surreal.

When I came out of work today, there was so much snow on my car (and it's not like I'm equipped to get snow off of my car) that I had to, ironically, use my sun shade to get the snow off of all my windows!! Ha! Yep, that's how we do it in the desert.

Plus, you know it's big when it's no msn.com and ET (on TV).

We hope you enjoy the photos.

Ummm...I don't think so!

Fine...I'll go!

Our House on Monday. We thought THIS was a lot! Little did we know...

This is right outside of our street!

This was tonight!

Brrrr....

More to come! I'm sure the snow's not going anywhere yet! Wahoo!

Here's one more that I just took right now - 

Right Outside Our House

Our House...Brr...

Photoshopping

My dad got me some photoshopping books. And I'm putting them to use and learning a lot. I'm very excited! Here are some photos, that I took while we went hiking yesterday, that I used some color correcting techniques.


Here is a photo from the wedding that I did some work on. I think it's so interesting the difference a little program can do. I feel like I look like an angel! LOL Jim says he can't tell a difference...what a nice husband. :)

Uh Oh OOoooOOOO!! New Kids On The Block!!

I went to the New Kids On The Block Concert with my BEST friend, Latoya, and some friends from work. Not only did we make our own shirts (there were 5 of us and we were each a 'step' from "Step by Step") but we crimped our hair! We truly had a blast and I have TONS of pictures...but I'll only punish you with a few. :) I was reliving my young childhood...

I've been dreaming of this day for a LONG TIME!!

Jim in San Diego!

Jim went to a San Diego Chargers game a couple of weeks ago. I know it was great for him, because he was able to watch Bret Favre play (with the NY Jets). I tease him because he didn't get to see him as a Packer. :( Everyone together...awwwwwww Jim! Here are some photos.

Our New House!!

Wahoo! We did it! We bought a beautiful new house! Thank you to my mom, Latoya, and her mom Carol for all of their help with painting! I couldn't have done it without you!
Take a look...
