Weekend Visitor

Say hello to Earl. This is our weekend visitor from Nathan's 4th grade classroom. Nathan was lucky enough to be able to bring him home for the weekend. We sure have had a good time with him. We have the kids go in our bathroom and block him in. Then he can hop around and everyone can get lots of petting time in. We sure will miss him when he has to go back to class on Monday.







Kayla keeps a blanket on her lap to keep Earl from scratching her legs. He has really long and sharp nails.

Hip Hip HOORAY !!!!

Okay,it's only been 10 days since the pinewood derby, but I knew I'd get around to it eventually.

Yes, I will say it loud, I will say it proud. I will also shout it from the rooftop. This was our last CUB SCOUT PINEWOOD DERBY. Six years in the making between Kyle and Nathan. We have enjoyed them all, but glad to see them go at the same time.

Nathan did a great job this year. We actually ended up combining with the other ward in our building. There were so many boys and it was a lot of fun. Nathan ended up doing really well. He finished 4th overall and came in 3rd in just our ward.






This was Nathan's first race of the evening. He was so excited to have won his first race. He had a great time.



It's also been so nice that our wards have taken away the competition of the whole thing. They don't award prizes or trophies for 1st, 2nd, or 3rd. Everyone who participates gets an award. The boys just love it. That's what it's all about anyway. Making fun memories with your friends.
