Pinewood Derby 2010

Jarrett Wins Third!

Yes, it's true. Jarrett has won third place his Pack's 2010 Pinewood Derby races. Jarrett would like to thank his dad for helping him carve his car to his specifications. Thanks is also due to his Mom, who purchased the paint colors requested and helped with the fine painting details. Thanks again to dad for the precise wheel alignment and graphite application. Jarrett would also like to thank his family for watching the races and cheering him on. Jarrett won first place 5/8 times and second 3/8 times. It was a close race, with first and second place winners only 1 and 2 points less then Jarrett's. He was awarded a 3rd place certificate along with an arrow-shaped plaque and a certificate for his car design titled "Best Use of Imagination." It was a great day at the races!

Trey's 7th Birthday

Trey celebrated his birthday with our traditional "Birthday Week." His "real" birthday was celebrated at the very minute he was born with song and a single cupcake to him. Later we all enjoyed cupcakes with Uncle Jason's family as they visited. After their visit, Brandon and Jarrett created a birthday present scavenger hunt for Trey to locate all his presents by following clues. He enjoyed that! During the week he opened presents as they arrived in the mail. He finished up his celebration with a birthday party. Friends from school came over to play games, eat birthday brownies and ice cream, and open yet more presents! We can't believe he's 7 already. Thanks for all the generous gifts!
