Pinewood Derby 2012

Parley survived another Pinewood Derby.  The boys had a good time designing and paining them.  The stressful part is always getting the weight just right.  Josh must have gotten his just right because he won the whole thing!!  There were many that thought it was the good paint job that did it :)  Taylor also did a great job and came in 5th overall.  Good job boys (all three of them).

It's great to be 8!

Josh had a great birthday even though it was on Sunday :)  Saturday we went to see The Lorax and out to Sweet Tomatoes.  A few days (maybe weeks) later he invited Chaz and Dru to go to Planet Play for a pizza buffet, video games and mini-golf.  We love Joshy and his (mostly) happy attitude!

Happy 13th Birthday Lauren!

Lauren is now a teenager.  How did that happen?!  She says she had a good birthday.  A lot of it was spent walking around the mall and then to Training Table for dinner.  I don't know why I didn't take any pictures of that.  Then it was back to the house for cake and presents.  We love you Lauren!

Zions Natl. Park Feb. 2012

While in St. George visiting our friends, the Bows, we decided to take a day trip to Zions.  It was sunny and warm the day before but a cold front came in that night and left a dusting of snow and cooler temps.  It was still fun and we bundled up and did some easy hiking.  It was so beautiful and fun!
