Race Day

This weekend was the long awaited Pine Derby Race for Cub Scouts. Caden (with Dads help) came up with this "red lightening fast" car.

Gentlemen START YOUR ENGINES!

Red Lightening didn't do so well in the first heat....forgot to put graphite on the axles. Once the graphite was on, Red Lightening was lightening FAST!

Woohoo!! Won the second and third heat!!

McKenzie was "so bored" by this point.

Once she saw the camera on her she had to turn on the charm

Caden didn't place but we all had such a good time. All the boys were good sports and cheering each other on, I even caught a few giving congratulatory hugs (so cute!). Caden is very lucky, he has an AWESOME pack and den leader. I can't say enough about them, they put so much of their free time into scouts and we are so grateful for that.  

One Year

So I have a confession, I started this blog Sept 2, 2011 so our families could keep up with us. It is now the end of March.....and no post. I'm kind of a procrastinator.

Tomorrow marks the one year anniversary of us moving from Aurora, Nebraska to Fort Worth, Texas. One year. That's crazy! Wow how our lives have changed. In one year we went from a family of four (this pic was done over two years ago by Allison)

to a family of five.

Note to self, we need family pics done...soon.

Now that I have the first post published, I can sleep at night. Okay, so that isn't the reason I don't get a good nights rest, but that would be an easy fix. In the mean time, I don't mind loving on my sweet baby Samuel at 4am.
