Since I am still trying to catch up with making posts, this picture is once again about a month late. This was a picture of Ashley when she turned 5 months old, which was Oct. 30. She is now 6 months old and hopefully it won't take me another month to post that one too. 
She started to stick out her tongue when anybody talked to her and it was so cute!! I finally caught a few pictures of her doing it.
What a ham she is! It looks as if she is thinking, "Aren't I just the cutest thing?!?!"
Me, Kenny, Kenny's boss and his wife all went to the Talladega Nascar race back in October. We all had a blast and it was an experience that we will never forget!! So many people, such loud cars, wreck after wreck, and a million and one rednecks. Talladega, Alabama is a very small city except for twice a year when the nascar race is there and then it is one of the most populated cities in the country.
Kenny and his new friend....Crown Royal. Kenny's boss bought us pit passes and VIP passes to go see the pits and party with the die hards. It was so much fun!!
We had scanners to listen to during the race to hear the conversations between the drivers and their pit crews. It was definitely interesting to hear what goes on behind the scenes!
This is the angle of the track at the flat strait away part of the track. Can you imagine what the corners look like if this is the flattest part of the track?!?!
Cars and crews in the pits getting ready for the big race. 
Cody was so excited that mom & dad got to see 'Doc' from the movie Carz. They had the original Hudson Hornet at the raceway. He ran a lap around the track before the race, running 141 mph. He was way cool!!
Kenny used to be a die hard Napa fan, but decided to also root for the Crown Royal car. Here he is posing next to the toolbox down at the pits. 
Of course here is the old Napa car that we got to see upclose and personal. The Napa reprsentative showed us all of the cool modifications that they do the racecars and why.
Me and Kenny after the truck races on Saturday before the big race. 
Boys & their toys!! Sometimes you are never too old for a trike. ha,ha. Cody wanted mom and dad to play on his bikes with him, so I volunteered Kenny to ride the trike. Of course he had to teach Cody how to ride wheelies.
Cody and Kenny playing............
Time is going by so fast and I can't believe how fast Ashley is growing! I decided that I was going to try to take a picture of her at each month mark and this is the first one that I took at four mos. old. She is actually going to be five mos. old on Oct. 30th, but since it has taken me so long to post some pictures, I am a little behind. There will be another one at five mos. coming soon, so stayed tuned and be patient because it seems that I always run out of time during the day to get things done.
So we were thinking of sending in this picture of Cody to Oscar Meyer for their next corn dog ad, what do you think????? Anyway, this was our visit to the NM State Fair last month. Cody had a ball even though he was too short to ride on most of the kiddie rides....poor guy is going to be short like his parents.
