Pinewood Derby!

Last night Kevin had his very first Pinewood Derby race for scouts. He picked out the design and colors for his car. He sanded it and helped paint it, put on the wheels and everything. He was very excited. He lost his first 2 races and was a little disapointed, but then he started winning and kept winning. He realy got into it then! He ended up coming in 3rd overall (out of 19). Not to bad for his first race. He is very proud of himself and so are we!!

Kailey had a blast cheering on her brother!

Korbyn loved to watch the cars go down the track and at the end he helped move the chairs!

New bikes!!!

The weather finally got nice enough to get bikes out and the first thing we noticed was our kids have gotten much to big for there bikes. So we headed down to the Toys R Us and we let them pick out nice new bigger bikes. First we had to put them together (which daddy had the privlege of doing)!

Korbyn even helped!

When we finally got it all done Kevin took off on his.....

And since we've decided it time for Kailey to learn to ride a two wheeler she stayed behind to get help. She did really good, she's not quite there but i'm sure it'll be soon. She's very determined!

Annoying!

Alright, I am getting kinda tired of my music playing every time I open my blog, but for some reason I cannot get it off. Every time I try to edit that add-on it says there is an error and shuts down the internet. Any suggestions?

Birthday Picts!

We finally got Kevin's 8 year picts back and wanted to share them with everyone.



He's getting so big. I'm having a hard time keeping up!

Baptism!

Kevin got baptized on Saturday 1-31-2009. I am so proud of him and the decision he made. He was a little skeptical about it for a while. Joe and I did some special Family Home Evenings on it to help him get past it but he still was struggling. One night I told him maybe he should pray to Heavenly Father and see what He wanted Kevin to do. After he prayed he said "Mom, I think I got my answer." I asked him what it was and he said "I have a really good feeling so I know it's right and i'm going to be baptized." How amazing is that?! I love Kevin so much!!!! He's such a good boy and a great big brother.

Happy Birthday!!!!!

Today Kevin turns 8. Yikes I can't believe he's that old. It's such a huge day. He gets to start Boy Scouts today and he gets baptized on Saturday. He is so excited. He is such a great example to his younger siblings. I love him tons!!!!

Congrats!!!!

I just wanted to publicy congratulate my sister April! Today was her first day back to (duh duh duh) school! That's right it was her first day to ISU. I just want to let her know how proud I am of her for making this awesome and huge step. I know you will do great and I couldn't be prouder. I love you and wish you all the best!
