Happy New Year to All!

Happy New year, Everybody! A time to try to stick to those resolutions, forgive and forget from the past year and look with anticipation to the new. My resolution is to lose a bunch of weight by racing season in April.

So, it seems that on an earlier post regarding the Racers for Tots party, I promised to post pictures of the event. So, I am going to post those pictures, pictures from Christmas, and pictures from New Year's eve....

Racers for Tots............

The Crowd, The Toys
The Marines, The Fabulous
Gunslingers!








Christmas...........
This is Jordan's pile, him on his bike and with his Pap-pap (Dean)





















Jordan with me, with Grannie (Pam, Sara's mom) with Daddy and Mommy (Henry and Sara), Jordan's wonderment at the tree, a full shot of our tree, and Jordan pointing to the Winnie the Pooh and Tigger motion ornament. It sings too. Winnie the Pooh, Winnie the Pooh....







New Year's Eve with the duo of Lacey-Weiss,
Danger Frog (From Froggy Radio), Bucwyld
(Buck Wild is how it's pronounced)








The Headliners--THE FABULOUS GUNSLINGERS!!!!!! And everyone jammed!







Scott's Tiggers always make a guest appearance at the shows, then Me and Dean and last, but not least--- SCOTT!!!


Our New year's Eve celebration rocked! We went to the Pepsi Roadhouse to see our favorite band-The Fabulous Gunslingers-headline the night's festivities! They were awesome, but then, they always are. Bill Staley had to step in for lead guitarist Darryl Novack who we found out last night, it pretty ill. We hear he will have a full recovery, but we do miss him. But, Bill did in fantastic job in Darryl's absence.

There were 2 opening acts- the Weiss-Lacey duo, who were good, but since we've never seen them before, we didn't know any of their material. The second act was a cover band called Bucwyld (Buck-wild) and they were a great act. Did a wonderful job on all the songs they "covered". For anyone who doesn't know the term cover band- it's a group that performs songs by other artists, usually famous, and you hear their songs on the radio. So these guys were pretty good and a lot of fun and energy. There is nothing worse, I think, than a band that "covers" a song and it doesn't sound even close to the original.
All in all, it was a great time. I think it was the best show we have sen at the Roadhouse. That opinion may be biased since our favorite band WAS headlining.......
Happy New Year all! May your loved ones stay near, your enemies far and prosperity bless us all!
