Charlotte, North Carolina (Nascar Fun)

We recently spent a few days in the Charlotte, North Carolina area prior to traveling on to Myrtle Beach during our Spring Break from school. The boys are big Nascar fans, and we were able to visit many of their favorite team shops.

We began our stay in Charlotte trying to dodge bad weather. There were tornado warnings in the county where we were staying and later learned that there were in fact 8 reported in the area. We spent about an hour and a half in the hallways of our hotel. Thankfully the storm eventually passed without any harm to our family.

The next morning the boys were excited to get out and tour this big Nascar city. Our first stop was at Stewart-Haas Racing for Karsen, and then off to Dale Earnhardt, Inc. for all of the family, and finally we finished the day at Hendrick Motorsports for Kaden. We were also able to drive past Lowes Motor Speedway as our hotel was located less than a mile from it. We all had a great time, and the boys look forward to hopefully another visit in the future so that we can see the Nascar Hall of Fame that is set to open in May of this year.

New Addition

We welcomed a new baby boy to our family within the past week. We are so happy for Kory's brother and his wife and congratulate them on the adoption of their precious son.

YMCA Basketball

Karsen has been really busy and had a lot of fun with YMCA basketball this year. It was his first time to play. He loves it that the "Lady Viking Volleyball Coach" is his basketball coach.

Farm Machinery Show

On Saturday, February 13th, we attended the National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville, KY. The boys had a wonderful time and look forward to going again next year.

Basketball

Kaden recently began his YMCA basketball season. He is on a team with several friends from school. He practices one time each week and plays his games on Saturdays. He really enjoys this.

We recently attended a basketball game at USI to watch former B-R standout Nick Duncheon play. Nick played a great game, and we are so proud of him and his team. They are 16-0 as of this posting. Sadly since we enjoyed this family outing, one of Nick's teammates passed away suddenly during a game in Kentucky. Our thoughts and prayers go out to this young man's family and friends.
