Pinewood Derby Race 2012

 Here are the cars lined up and ready to go!  Curt's is the one with the battery on top.  Maggie created the one with the bunny thing on top.  We have such a sweet Cub master that he lets the girls make a car and race after the official cub race.  Maggie was so happy to make one!  Curt had tons of fun too.

 Curt and Sam getting their cars lined up and ready to go!

The girls in on the act!  They did awesome!

Doug's 13th Birthday!

I Can't believe Doug is 13!  Time flies.  

 He wanted Brownies instead of cake.  They were yummy!  Doug is going to run track this spring.  He loves video games (don't all 13 year old boys)  Minecraft is all I hear about...  He also likes hiking and asked for a camelback water thingy for his birthday. He has been wearing it around the house.  His voice is getting deeper by the minute and he is very funny.  He makes us laugh all the time.  He tends to be quiet and is the kiddo I have to make sure to connect with regularly or he could be overlooked.  Everyone else DEMANDS attention in some form or other.  Doug is easy going and relaxed about most things.  Nothing seems to stress him or phase him.  He is truly a blessing to have around.  Happy 13th Doug!

Feeling the Need

I am feeling the need to go to the temple.  I just want to be inside the walls where things are peaceful and serene. 
These are pictures from the last trip I made to the temple.  This is the Columbus, Ohio temple.
I do miss my Palmyra, New York temple very much.  I am learning to deal with it.  :)
 
 I just love the architecture of the temple. 

 It is beautiful in the sunlight with its sparkling marble.

 I wish Columbus had stained glass like Palmyra.  Palmyra is amazing! 

 I guess the windows don't really matter much.  The peace is what I am after.  I can't wait to go back. 

Happy Valentine's Day!

4-H Sewing has begun!

We had our first 4-H sewing meeting last week.  It was fun but very crazy.  Lots of new members, which is always exciting.  We love to see 4-H growing!  Here is some pictures of Curt's project.  He finished it at home.  He was very excited!

Sometimes it is Boring...

Sometimes waiting at church for all the boys to be done with scouts is very boring!
