Pinewood Derby

Brian (with a little help from Tanner) made a pinewood derby car.
Well it was actually a truck. They worked on it all week.
Dark grey was the choice of color. It kinda looks like the dodge.

There was lots of excitement on the drive to the church for the big race.
Tanner knew it looked sweet. Now he was just hoping that it would be fast!

I even snapped his picture. He couldn't even look at first.
Well his wasn't the top 3 fastest. But he did win the cars that he was up against.
His truck even jumped at the end of the track. And still won.

All I was thinking that night is that there is going to be many more pinewood derby races in our future.

Today...

I finally got a cute picture of all the boys.

We were late to church. Brian was on call. So I was by myself. (that was my excuse!)

I took a nap. That was nice!

I cheated on my diet again. I just couldn't resist the girl scout cookies.

We had sunday dinner. I love my sisters!

Brian & Tanner worked on their pinewood derby car. Well it is actually a truck. I like how it looks. I will post more about that later this week. After the big race!

We had a pretty nice Sunday.


By the way....what do you think about my new blog design???

WE LOVE....

Kim.
She gave the boys a heart attack on Saturday night.
It was around 8:30pm.
The boys were asleep already. And so was I.
They were pretty excited to see it when they woke up.
She loves her nieces and nephews.
We LOVE her too!

Brian turns 36

Brian's birthday was Saturday.
He still was not feeling well.
We gave him his presents: new running shoes, an electric razor and 2 UNLV tshirts.
He was pretty happy.
He needed all these things.
We sang happy birthday to him when he was opening them.
Crew wanted to sing to him all day.
He kept asking if it was time.
We had hot fudge sundaes instead of birthday cake.
Well he doesn't really like cake anyways.
I thought it was be easier for him to eat.
He only had about half a scoop.
So I guess this gives us a reason to celebrate again when he feels better.

Get better soon so we can celebrate!!

WE LOVE YOU BRIAN!!

* This week has been crazy at our house. Brian was home sick all week. It all started last Saturday night. With a fever. Then turned into flu symptoms. So with him home and sick I have not had a lot of help. Well really NO help! I was trying to keep everyone away from him. Especially Greyson. Well he is finally on an antibiotic and doing much better. But not 100 % yet.

* Yes I think I lost my cool a few times this week. My family was pretty much scared of me. I turned into a crazy lady! I think I was just on overload. Sorry!

* Driving to pick up Brian from the quick care Carson said: "Did you know that singing is just like talking except you say the words faster and it's more beautiful?" I love that boy.
note to self: I need to write more things down of what they say. I want to remember.

* We went to math night at the school Thursday night. I didn't want to go. I was tired. The boys really wanted to go. At the end I am glad that we went. We came home with some fun ideas to practice math problems. That was the night that I cheated on my diet! :(

* I haven't taken many pictures around here. But we made these for the boys to give to their classmates for their valentines party. Carson reminded me that this was his first v-day party. I was wondering why he was asking so many questions about his mailbox that we had to make for homework. I had to explain to him how it all worked.

* We went to a party on Saturday for Alex. A company came called Games 2 you. It was a big van that the boys could play xbox 360, wii and rock band. All inside and on the outside of the truck. It was the greatest idea. Uncle Eric got to spend some time with his newest nephew!
* Oh and how could i forget? Wednesday night while Brian was laying on our bed. The bathroom toilet over flowed and got onto our carpet! Good thing Crew saw it and came to tell me that there was water in my bedroom. I didn't really rush to see because I knew Brian was on the bed. We called a friend to come help and between Brian and him they sucked up about 20 gallons of water!! So we had this monster fan in our bedroom trying to dry it all out.
* Now my throat hurts and I am trying not to think about it. Mom's can not get sick. Why is that? Not fair! Just my opinion.
