Cheesy Pinewood Derby

Josh decided that this year for the Pinewood Derby his car would be all about the design.  He looked through several pictures and ideas online when he finally decided on a hunk of cheese for his car design.  Josh and his dad spent lots of time cutting it out, sanding it and getting it to the right weight before finally painting it.  It turned out awesome!

He must have been hungry....

...since he chose a design that looked like a wedge of cheese.

He had a great time at the Derby.  He didn't win first, but he most certainly did not come in last.  He won the "Creative Chester Cheetah" award--which he had to explain to him (Cheetos).  Good job Josh!

Curling

Jeremy and I got together with some friends and tried our hand at Curling.  It is a fun sport that takes a lot of coordination so you don't slip on the ice and land on your rear.  We had a good time!

 Sweeping the ice so the Curling Stone will slide further across the ice.

 It is much harder than it looks.  I was sweating by the end by the end of our sweep!

 We had a great time and laughed the whole way down the ice.

 It was definitely something we will do again.

 

Slippery stuff.  

 

Expert sweepers.

Be Still My Heart

I was having a rough day.  I may have cried a little--or a lot.  None the less, Jaxon rode his bike to the store with a friend and brought me home this:

My favorite candy bar.  A giant one that he purchased using his own money.  He wanted to help make me feel better.  It worked.  I still have the candy bar--it means too much to me to eat it!  So thankful for Jaxon's tender heart.

Cousin Time

Cousin Sara is going to school up at Utah State.  During her spring break she came to visit us for a few days.  We had a great time hanging out with her.

 On the first weekend she was here Jaxon had a double basketball game.  We had an hour between games so we had a picnic lunch in the back of our car out in the parking lot. 

 We took Sara and Grandma to the Aquarium with us.  Kayden and I thought the anaconda snake was pretty cool.  It was huge!

Checking out some pretty big fish!

 Posing for a picture on some killer whales.  Boy do my boys love their cousin.

At the end of the day.  They were worn out.

So glad Sara got to come and spend some time with us.  It has been so fun to have her so close the last couple of years.
