On Your Mark, Get Set, Go!

On saturday, the boys had their first pine wood derby

experience. They were so excited and really had

no clue what it was all about. Here is Larry Denzil helping

them paint their cars. Larry Denzil cheated and bought

the already cut kits at AC Moore. This is what happens

when you procrastinate to the night before and don't really

know what to design with your block of wood.

Here is their painted cars. Larry named his

camo truck and Xander was calling his

speedy wheels.

Here the boys are checking their cars in.

Xander was so thrilled that his was exactly 5 ounces.

All the derby cars from pack 57. I think everyone

did an amazing job.

Xander got to race first. He won for

the tiger cubs. He was smiling from ear to ear.

That is Xander's car in the lead.

Larry getting ready for his race.

Larry too went undefeated for the wolf pack.

And the winner is......

Here are the 3rd, 1st and 2nd place winners

overall. Not bad for their very first pine wood derby.

Xander was a little unhappy because

Larry's car beat his. He told me that Larry made his

car heavier. Just so you know, Larry and

Xander's cars were neck and neck

in their race, but it is all who wins

I suppose.

That is brotherly love for you.

I have some video, but I won't bore you with that.

I hope everyone had a marvelous weekend.

Apple Festival

OK, I was too excited to wait on this new post. We went to the Hendersonville Apple Festival this afternoon. We have lived here 2 years and this was our first time going. It was fun. People had their crafts for sale and of course, lots of apples. Anyways, center stage, a band was performing old rock n roll music. We stopped to take a break and enjoy ice cream. While sitting there, a square dancer asked Larry Denzil to be her partner in the square dancing routine. Talk about a laugh, I hope you guys enjoy the pictures. Did I forget to mention that the Hurts were in for a visit? Ok, here is Larry Denzil having a great time square dancing. I think he has found his true calling. Here is little Larry relaxing during the bands gig. Here is Larry Denzil and the little old lady who asked him to be her partner. Poor thing, I do not think she read the back of his shirt. He had the number 7 and at the top it said Baby Maker. This was his work soft ball shirt. He is actually enjoying...

What on Earth!? How can you not stop and smile?

This morning I woke up and felt really good and energized. I was just ready to start the day. I had a little fun on the wii fit at 5:30Am before waking the kids. A Valentine's gift from a dear husband. I love video games and well, you might as well exercise while playing. Afterwards, I started with my chores. Just trying to tackle one room at a time. The first room I cleaned was the children's living room. Why did I choose this room? I knew Ethan & Ruby would play and watch TV, but I had no idea they would do this!? Here is a darling Ruby Isabella exhausted and asleep after her mayhem and destruction. Yes, that is toilet paper all over the floor. An entire roll they managed to toss all over the living room. They also got a hold of the baby bath and made some bubbles in the boys bedroom, and got a hold of the lotion and squirted it all over the footboard on my bed. Where am I during all this? Feeling really good because I had washed, dried, and folded 4 loads of la...

Scary Moment

Last night we had a bit of a scare in our house. I was making dinner for the missionaries. No my dinner was not scary! I was making a pre-holiday meal, ham and the whole nine yards. I had purchased fresh cranberries to make cranberry sauce. Larry and I do not like cranberries but all of my kids do. Ruby was anxiously waiting to eat and was dancing around in our small busy kitchen trying to help me. To scoot her along, I gave her a fresh cranberry to nibble on. Less than 5 minutes later she began crying. Larry had just gotten home so I thought she just wanted him to pick her up. He did and she kept crying and holding her mouth. He thought maybe she was teething, but those pesky 2 year molars came early. I was stressed making the meal, I did not have time for tears. But Larry would not stop crying about Ruby. Just kidding. He was freaking out and her crying was uncontrollable so I checked on her. Her lower lip had completely swollen up. This was our first experience with a...
