Derby time!

Wow, I am completely amazed! Benjamin & Michael raced their cars in the Pinewood Derby tonight. They had a lot of fun. They were kind of lazy if you ask me on working on their own cars. So when Michael got 1st place and Benjamin got 3rd, i couldn't help do a mental victory dance since I'd never in my life made one before. Theron says I'm Nascar material now. LOL! I remember my brothers doing cars when I was little, but I've never participated. So it was a lot of fun. They were good sports about it. Michael came home saying it wasn't about the winning it was about having fun. I was impresed. Must have learned that one from Dad. hahaha! :) jk. :) Anyway, here's a few pics of their fun.

Jacob got his ears lowered :)

a little rug cuttin' going on :)

Sandbox fun!

My dad's house in Cowley has the best sandbox ever and my kids were on it like...well they were always there. :) It was awesome. So we've talked and talked about getting one and finally we did it! Dad was able to locate some railroad ties and the sand was from Cowley's sandhill and voila! So far today they've spent about 4 hours all together out there. haha! Can't wait for warmer weather.

Flashback Friday!

I'm flashing back to my bridal shower. :) It was a blast. It was a Saturday and the day everyone ended up going trick-or-treating since Halloween was a Sunday that year. My mom and Tali threw it for me up at her place in North Salt Lake at the time. Lots o fun.

if you click on the picture it gets bigger and names are there if you recognize faces, but can't remember names. I'm doing this too late to add more. haha! ok ok, the truth is i'm sucked into a good book and want to go read! :) Happy Friday! Have a great weekend!

chili & goodies for a cause :)

Tonight we went to the ward Chili dinner fundraiser for the Young Women's group to raise money for camp. We took baked goods to be auctioned off and had some enteretainment as well. It turned out to be a really fun night. The kids all had a blast playing and I was really getting into the bidding. haha! Dad really wanted the German chocolate cake I made with pecans on top. I think Theron put the bug in his ear to buy it back since that's his favorite cake. Then I won....snickerdoodles, chocolate chocolate chip cookies, cinnamon rolls, caramel popcorn...and I think that's it. haha! It was fun. We came home with quite the loot. They had three of the girls up on the stage drumming on tidy cat boxes and here's a video of Madelynne feeling the groove. My cellphone stopped recording before she started jumping and twirling all around. She's a nut. Any music comes on and she's ready to dance.
