3. She lets Nathan and I sleep at her apartment every time we come visit... even when we take up the whole living room.
4. She always compliment me on my crafts... which makes me feel good... even when they probably are not that good.

Thanks for the tree Chace and Rivka!

Mini Baja!

Saturday my dad and two sisters came to visit. Luckily that was the same day Nathan and his SAE buddies were taking the mini baja out for a test drive. The goal was to break as many things as possible and find all the weak spots on the car. We all had such a fun time trying to wreck the car... well until Hana decided to actually wreck it. Hana took it off a pretty steep cliff and when she landed the front left axle (i think) broke and that was the end of the joy rides.
I think the best part was how much fun (see picture above) my old dad had driving it. He was better than a little kid in a candy store. What a great way to spend the weekend with my family.
