Easter Feast with Rachel's Family

I stayed in Kansas City on Easter Weekend and my best friend, Rachel, invited me to celebrate Easter with her family. Her family is great! They have pretty much adopted me as one of their own. We went to her aunt and uncle's house where they had a huge feast of food. Grandma Olga's beans are the best! After the big meal what would Easter be without an Easter Egg Hunt? There were so many kids and we must have hid over two-hundred eggs in the backyard. Kids were climbing trees and digging in leaves to get every egg out of the yard. Each egg was filled with yummy candy. I think the kids made out better on Easter then on Halloween. It was great to gather with Rachel's family and I always have such a fun time playing with all the kids. I love her family so much! They all love the Lord and it was great to be around her family and celebrate the true meaning of Easter! Thanks Rach! Thanks Cari and Tracy for having me over and for your servant hearts!

NASCAR at Kansas Speedway

I went to the NASCAR races at the Kansas Speedway with my brother a couple of weeks ago. He goes every year with his family and a bunch of friends. They have infield passes and camp out in their RVs for three days. My dad came up this year so I got to hangout with him, my brother, sister-in-law, and all of their friends. I brought a couple of friends on Saturday for the Busch Series. For those that don't know about NASCAR they have two races every weekend. The Saturday race is the Busch Series and the Sunday race is the Nextel Cup Series. The Sunday race is considered the bigger race but a lot of the same drivers race in the Busch Series on Saturday. It is awesome to watch either race. During the race we had the Kansas State/Texas football game on. Kansas State beat Texas and it was a great game. During the breaks in the football game we would run up to watch the race at the fence. After the race they fired up the grills and let the festivities begin. Here are some photos from the day.

Chicago Family Shoot

I did a photo shoot for my friends in Chicago last month and realized that I didn't share any of them on my blog. They are too good not to share! Jeremy is one of my best friends since high school and his wife, Mandy, has been a friend since high school as well. He play a big part in my relationship with the Lord and we have had a great friendship over the last 15+ years. They have a precious little girl named Sylvie ("Sylvie-Bug") and another one on the way. I loved taking photos of them. They are so in love with each other and it made it easy to capture these great photos. Here are some of my favorites.
