IT all STARTED with a Block of WOOD...

I remember how excited I was when Jack was born! After having three girls and doing all the fun girly activities..... baseball, football, and scouts seemed forever away!


The famous Pinewood Derby seemed like it would never come.

But that's not how life happens... it all happens way too fast.

Finally it was time....... I think Chip was just as excited as Jack was! Chip suggested a really cool car with a fighter jet theme. But Jack had his own idea... red with white flames! This was Jack's car... and he knew exactly what he wanted.

It all started with a block of wood...

First.....the design.

Then shaping it...

Sanding it...

Painting it....

Designing the flames...

Loving it...

Testing it...

THE BIG DAY!

Racing it...



WINNING IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Easter 2010

Still catching up..... Easter was cold this year, but still very fun, and very nice. It included dying eggs, a nice church service, a hunt in the front yard, and a quiet ham dinner.

Each child finds a certain number of things - it must have their sticker on it, or they have to leave it there for who's ever it might be! This ensures everyone getting the same fun stuff and the same number of eggs and treats. (My mom was an Easter egg hunt genius!)

We had the privilege of having dessert at one of our favorite Trail Wind teacher's home. Truly a unique, wonderful woman who we love dearly!
