Pinewood Derby & More

Can't wait to see whose car is fastest!

P's car is the 2nd one (with a white tic-tac-toe board)

Watching with best friend Darby

Video above shows one of Parker's wins.

Lincoln has a new favorite spot for Hide and Seek:

If you were looking around this kitchen, would you think there was a child in here?

Peek-a-boo!

Parker was a finalist in his class spelling bee and moved on to the school spelling bee, which was held Tuesday. Here is a video of him spelling the word "eruption" (it's really quiet because we were so far away).

He ended up getting 4th place in the school.  Way to go, Parker!

Todd and the boys continue to ski as often as possible.  Todd had a bad fall a couple weeks ago - he got a concussion and ruined his helmet. 

So glad he was wearing a helmet so it cracked open instead of his head!

Parker's instructor said he could start using poles tomorrow.  He's so excited!

Funny story about Anndra.  This morning I was watching some of the videos that go with the lesson I'm teaching the young women Sunday and teared up a bit during the especially touching parts.  I dried my eyes and went on with my day.  A while later Anndra came to find me because she wanted a hug.  As I held her she looked into my face and said, "Why is the blood coming out of your eyes?"  I was alarmed and confused for a second until I realized she was just noticing that my eyes were red from crying!  She is always phrasing her innocent little questions in funny ways like that... and I'm really bad at writing them down.  So I figured I'd better include this one in today's post so we have at least one to remember.
