Every year around this time, NASCAR comes to Vegas. Not usually a big deal for us, we are not big racing fans. But this year, a friend of ours got 4 free tickets to the Saturday race and asked Patrick if he wanted to go with one of the kids. Sure, why not... after all, who would turn down free tickets to something and it would be some good quality daddy-son time. So Patrick and Brayden headed out to the races on Saturday with Adam and Easton.
They had so much fun! I kept getting texts through out the day from both Patrick and Brayden about how much fun they were having. They even got to meet up with Patrick's dad and step-mom who come to town every year for the race. I think Brayden was in seventh heaven getting to spend the whole day doing something so fun with his dad.
They got to see some of the cars...
eat good food... ride around on Grandpa Patton's shoulders,
win prizes, meet the Air Force Thunderbirds... and they froze to death! It was kinda a stormy day on Saturday. But they had fun anyways! Brayden came home so excited to tell me all about it. He told me "Mom... that was the loudest day of my life!" Kids are so funny!
Well Conner felt a little left out... sometimes it's hard being a little brother. So I decided to make a special day for him, and we went on a mommy-son date! (Landon tagged along too!) Conner got to pick everything we did... and I mean EVERYTHING! We had a great time. I wish I had pictures but since Patrick took the camera, you'll just have to take my word for it. We started off out date with a wonderful lunch at McDonalds, complete with a Happy Meal where Conner got a Star Wars toy and tattoo, and a Dr. Pepper to drink, that is a BIG treat for my boys. Conner played a little at the playland and then we were off to Dairy Queen for chocolate ice cream cones. Conner had ice cream ALL OVER his little face! I mean it was everywhere, but he sure enjoyed his ice cream cone. Then we went to Target to look around (this was kinda for me!) but Conner ended up getting a new Hot Wheels car. Then we came home and played Wii, watched a movie, and made a cake together. It was so fun. As we were driving back home from Target, Conner says to me from the backseat... "Mom, I sure liked going on a date with you!" Oh, so sweet, that little boy knows how to melt my heart!!
It was a good weekend!

You are a very lucky woman to have such great boys!!!
I'm sure glad it was all the boys out there watching the cars and not me! I am happy Conner had such a fun day with you, I was worried he was going to be sad he didn't get to go!
What a sweet Mom you are!!! Man, I bet Patrick and Brayden had fun too!
