Last night was our Pinewood Derby. It was a great success and everyone seemed to have fun. Scott and the boys made cars. Reese won the Webelos heat and came in 2nd overall, so he now gets to go to districts at the mall. His record for the past 2 years: winner as a Wolf, last as a Bear, and 2nd as a Webelos. He designed his car (red, of course) with a hole in the middle. It turned out pretty cool and fast too. Davis' car was red with black splatters. He raced in the sibling heat after the big race. His car was also fast and a winner. It was a good night. We have a great ward with lots of great friends. Reese is ready to receive his Arrow of Light next month. He has been working hard at this (actually been ready to get it for a few months now but since I have to plan it we've been waiting for a few more boys). We'll do this at the Blue and Gold Banquet. He loves scouting and enjoys working on it. Davis is ready to turn 8 so he can officially be a scout. He has been a "blueberry" (term used when Scott was growing up) scout for a couple of years now and enjoys it as well.
As a side note... I've been accused of having a "main character on the blog" by child #2...he is right... child #5 does appear on the blog a bit more than the rest. He'd like me to equal things up - so I'll give it a try :)
Also, I just had my past 3 years of blogs printed in books. They are really cool!!! What a cool journal...now I don't have to feel guilty for sitting down and writing.

Could it have been a year ago when we were there for the pinewood derby??? Are there two a year? Good for you, Reese! Congratulations on your car wins and Arrow of Light! Love you, G&G
Way to go Reese!!!
I am sure I have been accused of the same! They are all different ages and there is more to tell at different times of their lives :)
They know you love them all the same... blog or no blog. So blog away!
You need to keep track of that Arrow of Light patch. My boy got theirs (days before the deadline!) and of course, they get to wear them on their Scout uniforms. Unfortunately, somewhere in the transition between old shirt and new shirt, I lost Daniel's! But since they are currently sharing shirts, I'm not feeling too bad. Congratulations Reese on the Arrow of Light and the Pinewood Derby!
Lucky you, get to race at the mall! We always secretly hoped we wouldn't win....
Glad your pinewood derby went well. They make me uptight. I'm always afraid a boy will cry.
funny blog favoritism accusation! where did you get your blog book printed?
