Tubing

Uncle Nathan, Aunt Deanna and Dax came to town for a snowboarding trip. We met them at Soldier Hollow one afternoon and did some tubing. It was really fun. All the kids loved it.

Late in the day, Derek fell asleep while being towed up the hill. He did wake up until he hit the hill at the end.

Pinewood Derby

About a month ago Derek and Blake participated in their first pinewood derby. They've been dreaming about  this for a long time. We've been watching videos online about how to make pinewood derby cars for over a year. It was also my first time making a pinewood derby car (as a dad) and I kinda suck at this stuff. The pressure was on me and I had to make 2 cars. With the help of online videos and suggestions we got two cars they were happy with. However, they didn't just want cool looking cars but they both wanted to win.

Derek and his turtle car (it was fast but looked like a turtle).

They raced each other twice and each of them won once. Wow, was that lucky for us.

Brandon liked the sugar cookies with blue frosting.
