Pinewood Derby Results

Yea! The boys had a great time at the Pinewood Derby race. Alec took 1st place and Spencer took 2nd. The funny thing was that Spencer actually had the fastest time, but they had 4 runs and Alec's car won the average. So I have to make a disclaimer - even though I posted a video of Brian working on the cars without the boys, I PROMISE that the boys did quite a lot of work on the cars themselves! But we did have a few people ask if we were cheating somehow!

When they called Alec's name he started jumping up and down - he was so excited!

Here's a cute video of Kortney saying one of her first prayers. She is so cute! She's at the fun stage where everything she says is adorable and we keep trying to make her say things just to hear her words. Whenever Brian asks Kortney to say the prayer she responds in the cutest voice "I say it."

Here's Brian getting the axels ready for the Pinewood Derby - The boys had just gone to bed and Brian wanted to get just one more thing done on the cars. He had just informed me that he loves Pinewood Derby, because he never got to do one when he was younger. We laughed about that after a fun reminder that this wasn't for him, but for the boys.

Kayley's new smile!

She is so excited! And looks so darn cute! My girl just keeps growing up - how do we stop that?

I know her eyes are closed and she'll be embarrased for a minute - but you can see the braces so much better in this shot!

What a vacation!

We had such a fun winter vacation! It was sad to see it end! I was very spoiled and slept in almost every morning -- We knew it wasn't going to happen again in a long time so we enjoyed every minute of it and didn't feel guilty once. But we also stayed up pretty late so we decided it evened itself out!

Brian was able to take 1 1/2 weeks off -I LOVED IT! We put ourselves to work and redid our bedroom. You know how these old houses are with the small master bedrooms, so we added tall cabinets and took out our dressers- It created so much room for us -we are so proud of ourselves!

Isn't it just so cute! I now have a place to put my Willow Tree figurines without my kids knocking them off. And Brian can't put anything on top of the dresser anymore! The doors hide everything!
The kids had a great Christmas - They finally got a Wii and some Webkins! Almost three long years of waiting for the kids - It's actually pretty fun so the only hard part was waiting for the kids to go to bed so we could play it!!!

One of our favorite days was going SLEDDING - We stayed for a couple of hours and exhausted everyone!

Look at the huge smiles. Kortney stayed in the sled the whole time - she is quite a daredevil!
