Pinewood Derby- Septeber 2009

This was Austin (and Jake's) first pinewood derby. I had to post these pictures because it was a pretty funny night. Austin (and Jake) had alot of fun.

Austin (and Jake) came in first place!

The picture above is of the three boys who came in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. The picture below is of the dads of the top 3. I'm not sure who enjoyed making the cars more-the dads or the boys. Jon (in the middle) let Jake come and use some tools in his shop to build the car. When we got to the church Russ gave Jake a few extra weights for Austins car. And guess who ended up winning! I bet Jake (and Austin) won't have quite as much help for the next Pinewood Derby.

Kemry turns 6- September 19, 2009

Wow! I can't believe how fast time goes by! Kemry turned 6 in September, and she had her birthday party at Jungle Jim's. I love this girl so much and am so thankful every day for the sweetness she adds to our family. Kemry is such a great sister and we are so lucky that she is healthy and doing well after the rough start she had with her heart. Kemry you are beautiful and we love you so much!

Austin's first year of football! Jake was able to help coach, and they both had so much fun!

Happy Birthday Madison!

Yesterday was my Madi's Birthday! I cannot believe how grown up she is and how fast time goes by! I am amazed every day at how beautiful Madison is on the inside and outside! She is an amazing sister. Kemry and Maycee look up to her so much, and want to be just like her! Madison is so kind and thoughtful and she does her best to please everyone! What a sweet girl! Its so sad to have her grow up so fast. I love you Madi, and I am so proud of the wonderful person you are!

My baby turns 4! (Still trying to catch up!!)

Maycee's Birthday started out with Grandpa coming over and bringing some fun presents! An Ariel crown, and a Diego rescue pack full of some fun card games. Maycee's party was the day after her Birthday at Backyard Adventures.

It is crazy to think that Maycee is 4 years old! I seriously can't believe how fast time goes by. I love this girl so much, and I can't imagine what life would be like without her! Life was a little bit crazy with her the first few years because she was a pretty sassy baby, but now she is so much fun to have around. I really don't know what Kemry would do without her. The two of them are best friends, and I love to listen to their conversations, and watch them play together. They watch out for each other and wherever one is, the other one wants to be there too.

I love you Maycee!
