PINEWOOD DERBY

Mason and Taylor competed in the Pinewood Derby for scouts tonight. They did such a good job helping Lance make their cars. Mason painted his pink and had Darth Vader as the driver and Taylor painted his blue with pink polka dots and had a lego guy as the driver. Taylor came in first in the Wolves. Overall Taylor came in fourth place and Mason came in fifth place. We are so proud of them.

Doug and Dylan Russell, the boys and Dad, Nick and Gage Saliby. These were some of the boys' competition!



Dylan, Mason, Taylor and Gage. These boys had so much fun!

Okay here is the real story now... The race was really these three against each other! You would think it was their boys that were so excited, but we all know it's really about the dads. You should have seen their faces light up when their car won! Lance was just proud that "his cars" beat Doug and Nick! It was a very exciting night hearing these guys yelling and cheering!

WHAT A BUSY WEEKEND!

Lance's family came down this weekend so we could watch Joel compete in a snowshoe race up at Kelly's Canyon. He came in third place and won a lot of "swang" (that is for you Joel)! It was only 19 degrees, there would be no way that I could run in that cold of weather!

It is fun to see Lance, Joel and his dad get together. They got new hunting back packs for Joel's birthday and spent hours trying them out. I am grateful that Lance's dad will buy him all the hunting equipment! Karen taught me how to do some cooking this weekend also, which everyone knows I need!

This is just a fun picture of Lysa all dressed up to go to a princess birthday party.

After Lance's family left we watched my brother's kids overnight so he and his wife could get out of town for her birthday. It was a fun weekend and the kids had a blast and got to see cousins from both sides. It is so nice to have family around.

LET'S BUILD TOWERS

When I study for tests I write everything down on note cards and then quiz myself. I had so many note cards after my finals just lying around the house that the kids decided to put them to good use!






They were having a contest to see who could build the tallest tower, I think Mace won! Taylor and Lexi did a fantastic job too! Lysa and I were the judges.

Mace and Taylor spent hours upon hours just building towers. They even built a hotel and then got some of their little Lego guys to put in it. Very creative boys!
