Pine Wood Derby BABY!!!!

TROOP 343 PINEWOOD DERBY

This year was a great race! There were 12 cars competing and Tommy took 5th overall! He also took 2nd place for the Bears group. He was a great racer! There are some pretty cool cars, I may be biased but I think Tommy's is the coolest. He won a certificate at the end for "FASTEST LOOKING CAR"- Overall it was a great race and we all had fun!

Bad Blogger

I may be viewed as a really bad blogger for this, but I don't care. I don't really have an excuse as to why it has taken almost 2 months for me to put party pictures from the kids birthday on here- so I will admit it... I have been lazy. Today I am taking advantage of some quiet time while the kids are in school to update these fun pictures. Another confession- I still have more! YIKES! But I will get to them.

I apologize for that rambling- Anyways, this year we decided to throw Timothy and Siera a combined party. They wanted to go ice fishing for the activity- pictures to follow (I promise)- so we did that and then we got together for a dinner party the next day. It was just family but we had fun and the kids loved their cakes. I may not be the greatest cake decorator in the world but the kids are happy and that is what counts!

Siera wanted horses- there were a lot of complicated designs that she thought were pretty cool, but my lack of ability won with this simple design. No it is not actual horse poop just in case you were wondering.

They loved opening presents. Siera got an American doll which she was very excited about and Timothy got lots of puzzles and they both got scooters!! Boy those are fun!

Timothy LOVES "Toy Story 3" which means a woody cake. We saw one like this at Wal-Mart and I figured it was easy enough. But in order to get the toy that goes on top we had to go through the toy aisle-- YIKES!! We barely made it out alive!!!

behind the times

Here is a little bit of what we have been up to. Josh has gone ice fishing the last couple of times he has been home. He LOVES it! I admit I always thought I would hate it, but it is pretty fun. But this is the fish he caught. It's pretty big as fish go- I'm not sure of the statistics, but I'm sure if you are super curious you can always call Josh and he will tell you.

About a month ago- i know it has taken me forever to post this- I did a photo shoot in my front room. In order to get everything set up I had to move everything out. It was still in its empty state when the kids came home and they had a ball. They brought up their stereo and started dancing! By dancing I mean arms flailing, legs flying, believe they can break dance- dancing! It was so fun to watch. Luckily I still had my camera out to capture my littles getting jiggy with it!
