Labor Day Weekend

The Klemmensen's took a family vacation along with my parents, Cassie, Tyler and Marisa. We go to Brainerd every year as a family to watch Papa race his car. This is year was by far the most fun yet. Trig was so into it. He was so cute. And said the most random stuff. Nala was so good. I don't think we heard a peep out of her all weekend and she slept through the night Saturday night and again last night. Things are going great. Everyone was going out to eat Saturday night so I thought Trig and I would stay back and use the water park. He loves the water park. We were all crammed into the elevator along with a few other people and the door opens and Trig yells GET OUT. He wasn't being mean or rude he was just so excited to get to the water park. Than we were going into the racetrack and he is telling the cars COME ON LETS MOVE IT. He was so funny. He so much wanted to ride with Papa in his race car and kept telling us that he was going to wear his helmet and race a mile with Papa. He was bound and determined that Papa raced a mile not a 1/4 mile. So we let him think that. The last run down the track Trig got to ride in the car with Papa back to the trailer. He was in heaven he waved at everyone like he owned the place.

Nala had a lot of firsts it seems like this weekend. She is sitting up by herself, pulling her toys to make noise, teething (she sucks her bottom lip) and got to go to the track with us and watch Papa race. Although she pretty much slept. This teething I think is hard work for her. She doesn't ever cry though. So she is either really tough like her brother or she is just another great baby. She slept through the night the last two nights and that has been awesome besides I think that I am way more tired now that I am when I have to get up with her because I am up a lot when she doesn't get up to check on her.

Chad and I are doing great also. Chad joined us on our trip which I love. I don't feel like we see enough of him so it was so good to have him there with us. We really tend to miss him. He has been working really long hours at his job and it makes it hard to have a family life sometimes. One thing my parents always say is they wish we would have had more family dinners together. We as a family now could never have family means as Trig would be eating as he was in bed sleeping. Chad is eating dinner half the time at around 10:30p - 11p. I have been keeping busy with work also. So we are just running around with our heads cut off.

I will post some pictures of the race.

Papa's favorite pit crew. They are the best helpers.

Sleeping beauty at the track. She sleeps through the loudest noises.

Trig is all ready to drive. But he needs to wear a helmet and so far the helmet has not been found since it was bought last year. It will show up. But it was also a good excuse on why he couldn't race with PAPA as it was never going to be able to go down the track with him anyways.
