Pinewood Derby Champion AGAIN!!

Brett won our tri-ward pinewood derby on Friday! For the 3rd year in row he won first place in the pinewood derby! He was so happy! We kept telling him that he's already won twice, it would be okay if he didn't win this year. Patrick and Brett worked on his car all week... they had a lot of fun together. Brett designed the car... they painted it Philadelphia Eagles green and then printed out Eagles logos to put stickers on his car! It looked totally sweet! He was so proud of it and then he won! He came in first in every single race! There was about 25 cars total in the race. Patrick and sons have made a total of 12 derby cars... now he has only 3 to go with Luke! Patrick loves this quality time with his sons... and they truly work on this together and makes it such a memorable experience for each of them... win or not! This year they happen to win! Everyone was asking why Brett was crying after he won... well that is a great question... why was Brett crying... because his mean mom made him put on his Cub Scout shirt (which he absolutely hates to wear) so when he got his award he would look like a Cub Scout! What a rough life!!
If any of you have spare time and are interested in seeing all 200+ pictures from David's memory card. Go to http://photobucket.com/davidsmission ... spare time! HA! HA!! David's camera broke too... he just emailed us yesterday so he is sending it back to us so we can get it repaired because it's still under warranty.

We also missed having pictures of Tanner's first trip to the Temple for baptisms! (Thanks to our broken camera!) It was a great day! Patrick and I were happy to be there with him. It was a special day.

Last week, Patrick & I spent Tuesday at the DC Temple to be there for friends that were sealed! I do have pictures of them (they emailed them to me!) It was a beautiful, special day for us to share it with them. Some of you might recognize the older teenage girl, Jessica, she is one of Ally's best friends and went on several of our family vacations with us! It was great to see her family sealed in the Temple. Many of you know we live 3 hours each way from the DC Temple so going twice in a week is a rare occurrence for us. It was beautiful and wish we could do it more often!
