Riley's 1st party

We had our baby shower on Saturday. My Mom and friend Kristine threw everything together and we had a BBQ at our house. It was a blast, I don't know of too many baby shower's lasting until midnight! That was when the last guests left :) Here are a few pictures I will add more when I get them.

Happy 4th of July!

So I am a little late, but Happy 4th of July! Hopefully everyone had a safe holiday. Ron and I didn't do to much on our 3 day weekend. We stayed close to home and went to the Brownsburg fireworks on Friday. Saturday after some shopping with my Mom, Ron had to work, Ron and I decided to get out of the house for awhile and just spend sometime together. Didn't do much of anything besides baby shopping and just enjoying the day. It was a wonderful day!

Ron raced on Sunday and as Steve said, "it was an expensive day". Ron blew up both the shifter and the TAG motor. As of right now they don't know what they are going to do with the shifter, second race in a row the motor has failed. They were able to put Steve's TAG motor on and Ron finished 4th, and looked really good! The TAG class is a tough class with a lot of good talent and they are learning the set up of the new kart. I think it is just a matter of time before he gets his first when in the new kart :)

On another note, Tony comes home in 4 days!!!!!!! Ron and I can't wait, it seems like he has been gone forever. Hopefully we will be a little more exciting once he gets back :) And one more note the countdown is on, only 8 more weeks until we meet our baby girl. I can't believe how fast time is flying by!

Nursery Pictures

We spent this weekend working on the nursery, after a lot of hard work it turned out wonderful! We still have some small details to add, but neither one of us could be happier. We had help from my parents and Ron's parents and couldn't of finished it without the help, thanks everyone!

As you can see from the pictures above we have picked a name!! Riley Dawn Petersen :) Believe it or not Ron and I have had this name picked out before we found out it was a girl, we could never agree on a boy's name so I guess she better come out a girl otherwise we are in trouble. Only 9 more weeks until she will be here! Time is flying by fast!

We Are Boring!

Chase helping Dad set the pool up for the second time. The first time we set up it up we got some much rain the ground softened on one side and the pool shifted. We had to drain it and start all over again.
He loved playing in the water! We are going to have to get him his own pool to lay in.

Chase thinks he found a new bed!

I realized with Tony gone I haven't had much to post about. Ron and I must be boring!! With no kid around I don't have any one to take pictures of, so I have been more aware of the crazy things Chase does. He is quite the character.

On a plus note Ron and I are working on getting Tony's bathroom painted, the little monster decided one day to peel a patch of paint off right in the middle of the wall :) The good thing is I have been wanting to repaint it for awhile. Ron started on that today while I prepped the nursery to get painted. We will be doing that next weekend! Will post some pictures once we get done. What I can't believe is in 10 weeks our little girl will be here. Ron and I were looking at the calendar and between his racing schedule, my work schedule, and few other things here and there we only have one free weekend between now and her due date. I feel like we have so much to do in order to get ready!

I know lots of you are waiting on belly pictures but today it not the day, between painting, mowing the yard, and cleaning the house I look a little rough today :) I will have Ron take some this week.

Double header Day at the track!

Ron and Tony raced this weekend, it was suppose to be a double header weekend. With all the rain we received on Saturday the race was cancelled and they ran both races on Sunday. Now this might not seem like a huge deal but, practice starts at 8:00 am and Ron practiced, qualified, and ran two races in both the 125 ICC shifter class and the TAG class. We got home Sunday at 10:30 at night, we were both exhausted and I didn't do anything! Ron won both shifter races! He also finished 8th and 6th in the TAG races. Tony raced two races as well and finished 4th and 3th. He gets so excited when he does good and you would of thought it one the race the way he was pumping his fists in the air! Sunday was also the first day I have seen Tony run his "new kart", next year he will graduate from the Kid Kart class and they are trying to get him some experience in a bigger and faster kart. It makes me a little nervous, but after seeing him run the kart in practice he did awesome!

Of course we were in such a hurry to get out of the house when we left, I forgot the camera once again. I swipe the pictures above from the photographer that takes a lot of great pictures from the track.

We all survived!!

I can't tell if this is morning or evening but I know I was there no matter what time it was!

Well another month of May in the books and we all survived it. The 92nd Indianapolis 500 is in the history books and we all got to be apart of it again this year. I worked 19 hours on race day and Ron and Tony came out and had a blast. Ron didn't bring the camera, which is probably a good thing, so we don't have any pictures that captured the moments. I think Ron is glad the month of May is over so I won't be living at work anymore and things can go back to normal, wait what is normal! Tony had a very eventful day on Sunday he went to the race with Ron then Ron dropped him off at the airport and he went to California with his Mom. Ron and I already missed him so much but we also know this will be the last time for a really long time we are "kid free" so we both agreed to make the best of it and enjoy the quietness while we can.

Month of May!

Holy Cow I can't beleive the Month of May is half way over. As most of you know our lives turn upside down this month because I live at work and Ron and Tony are racing. That is why there have been no posts lately.

Ron and Tony have raced two races since my last post. Ron is leading the shifter class by one point, after another win and a third place finish. Ron is 8th in points inthe TAG class after a rough start to the year. Tony has had a wonderful start to his racing season, he is 4th in points at New Castle and finished 2nd at Whiteland a couple of weeks ago. As Tony is getting older it is so much fun to see him race and just see the improvement from year to year, and at this point it is race to race.

Month of May at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway has been an interesting one. Lots and lots of rain and that makes for long days at work. I can only hope come next weekend there is no rain in sight and the 92nd running of the Indianapolis 500 goes off without any problems.

Hope everyone is doing good, we will do a family belly shot sometime soon. Ron, Tony, and Chase are getting smaller, I am getting bigger :) I had my 6 month appointment on Monday and everything looks great so far with our baby girl. She will be here in 16 weeks and that frightens me!
