Welcome to Ontario










The bridge from the US to Canada!!!





Okay so Will I woke up yesterday morning, got ready packed up the Yukon and headed to Toronto. It took us about an hour to get to the border and then went thorugh border patrol and we were in Canada. We stopped at a Husky gas station and stocked up on some Canadian goodies. They have such great chocolate....it's cadburry candy bars and I can't even explain how good they are. It took us about four 1/2 hrs from our house to Toronto. Toronto was beautiful. It is right on the lake and it almost feels like being on a beach in California. The weather was awesome. We parked the Yukon and headed to check out the riders rigs and bikes. I am a Chad Reed fan and Will is a Bubba Stewart fan and if you're not familiar with motorcross, they are like enemies. We checked out Chad's bike and then went and saw Bubba's. Then we went inside and got some goodies and sat down to watch the practice races. The track was awesome and we were on the 7th row and they had the first 4 rows marked off so it was like being on the 3rd row. It was sooooo loud we had to wear ear plugs. We watched the lites and then the 450's practice. Reed and Bubba both looked awesome. They go soooooooooooo fast. Will ate some really good thai-food at the arena. Oh yeah the event was inside the Rogers Centre where the Toronto Blue Jays play and it was sweet. The final race was great. Bubba won...he was flying and Reed took second. I was kinda sad cuz you could see how disappointed Chad Reed was but I thought it was a great race. We stayed after for a while and watched Bubba and Chad give their interviews. Then we saw Reed leaving and Will grabbed me and said I know where Reed is going to come out let's go so you can meet him. We went outside and sure enough we met him coming out of the tunnel right where Will said he would be. We both told him he rode great but you could see how upset and disappointed he was. Will took a picture of me with him and Will said Okay Chad lets' see a big smile. I was laughing so hard. My hubby is so cute and funny. I was sooooo excited and I still am. Then we saw Bubba come out of the tunnel and he was crowded with people immediatly but Will was able to get a pic of him. We had soooooo much fun and we both love Moto-X soooo much. It really gets us both excited to ride our bike!!! Ne ways we headed home and got home this morning at about 4:30, got up and went and taught our Sunday School Class. It was a great weekend:)

A couple weeks ago we took a trip to the DIA and it was really fun. It was my first time being downtown Detroit!!! They had tons of exhibits and it took us about four hours just to browse everything.

These are just a few of Will's fav exhibits.......we took sooo many pics it would take all day to upload them all:)

Catch UP....

I am so behind on everything I want to blog about so this is going to be a Catch Up. First of all Will n I wanted to wish Skip a very happy belated birthday on our Blog. It was his birthday last week. I hope he enjoyed our little singing of Happy Birthday on his answering machine and we both hope he had a great birthday. Will's dad is amazing and he has always made me feel like a part of his family and like one of his daughters. I am so happy that he is Will's dad. He has taught Will so much and is such a great example to us both. WE LOVE YOU SKIP!!! Also we want to wish Katy and Kyle and girls a congrats for their new baby boy Kyler. He is super duper cute and we can't wait to get to see him in person. Will n I have both been super busy with school and work and trying to have some fun when we do have time to relax. We watched the movie Australia the other night and it was awesome. We loved it and recommend it. We are getting ready to head to Canada this weekend to go watch some SuperCross. I am a Chad Reed fan and Will is a Bubba Stewart fan and they have been so close the last couple races.....we can't wait. It's going to be on tv on Sunday at noon Eastern Standard Time on CBS and we have excellent seats so look for us on TV!!!!:) Also, my little sis DAvi went to prom and I got to see some pics and she looked so pretty and her dress was beautiful. Ne ways...I gotta run n pick up Will from work. Till next time.....PeAce!!!

HAPPY 17TH B-DAY DAVI DIANE!!!




So tomorrow is my little sis, Davi's, 17th birthday. Yes she is a St. Patties girl. I am blogging about it now cuz I probably won't have time tomorrow. Ne ways I am having a hard time grasping the fact that my littlest sister is turning 17!!! Time flies when you're having fun. I have always had a really special bond with Davi(by they way we all call her Doh-Doh or Doh-Doh Bird)!!! When she was little we would always be entertained by her sillyness. She would act out scenes from Jim Carrey movies at like age 8. She would spin around on the floor and do the scene from Liar Liar with the pen and he is trying to say pencil. I know that Davi is a really strong person because she has been through two knee surgeries and she is so young and that is something I dont' know that I could've done. She is really special to me and Will n I love her tonz. I am really sad that I won't be at her Junior Prom this Friday and thinking about it makes me want to cry.....but I just keep thinking about what Will tells me " sacrafice today for whats ahead tomorrow." I remember watching McCall get all dolled up for her prom, having my three sisters with me as I was getting ready for prom and doing Darci's hair for her prom and I really wish I could be there to see Davi but I want her to know that I love her very much and and I am really proud of the person she is and I hope she has a great birthday:)

Ice Moto-X

Will n I went with our friends, Ron and Stacy last night and watched Ice Moto-X. It was quite the experience. I had no idea that motorcycles and quads could race on ice. It was really fun. The heats they race in are really short, they only do four laps but there was a ton of heats so it kept it entertaining. All Will could talk about when we got home was how good his Philly Steak sandwich was........so needless to say I'm sure the next time we go to any event at the Palace, Will will be picking up a Philly Steak sandwhich. Ne ways, we ended up leaving early cuz Will had to work and it got a little repetative but nonetheless we had fun:)

ps: sorry there are no pics...i tried to upload a video of the bikes racing but it didn't work:(

The Golf Dome and Mansions....just another day in Michigan!

If there is one thing Will n I can't wait for is some golf weather. We love to golf and have been getting really excited for it to start to warm up so we can go play. This last Saturday we decided to go practice at this big huge dome golf place they have and we had a blast. I was really rusty and struck out a few times........but after awhile I was hitting the ball pretty well. Will was awesome. He was hitting so straight and so far. We had a blast. We decided that until it starts to warm up out here we are just going to have to keep practicing at this dome. After we were done golfing, we decided to go for a ride and see some BIG houses. They have some of the most beautiful and huge homes out here we've ever seen. We were driving along admiring all of them when this one caught our eye and Will slammed on the brakes and we flipped around. Now let me say the pic doesn't even do it any justice. This home had an 8 YES 8 car garage on the back. 4 car stalls on the top and 4 in the basement. I bet it had 8-10 rooms or more.......It was sooooooo huge and soooooooo nice. We saw a lot of other really nice homes but this one took the cake!!! We had a lot of fun on Saturday. Today(Sunday) we went to church and had a blast. WE love being in the Lake Orion Ward. There are so many great people we've met. We are teaching the 12-13 yr old Sunday School class and it has been a real blessing and we really like it. We went over to the Gibson's house after church for some dinner and Christina Gibson made the best Waffles Will n I have ever had. She uses yeast so they rise and I'm going to get the recipe this week cuz they were soooooooo good. We had a lot of fun over there. Oh yeah...and we went to the Detroit Temple on Fri. night with my friend Tammy from school. It was a great session and we are so so so blessed to live 20 minutes away from the Temple. Ne ways....we are doing good and just truckin along. Will has spring break this week and I'm getting into the really busy weeks so our blogs might be less but I will try to keep everyone posted on what we've been up to!! PeaCe!!
