3rd Place!

The pine wood derby races were on the 19th of March. I'm not sure who was more excited--Dave or Triston! Dave put some extra love and research into the car this year as we're not sure if Triston is going to continue to be in cub scouts next year. It paid off! The car had several races and did very well--he was in the last race for 3rd & 4th place against one of his best friends, Nick. He was so excited that he got a trophy but he felt really bad for Nick who only received a medal--he didn't quite understand that! He tried to make him feel better -- it was nice to see his good sportsmanship. We're proud of you guys!!

Proud owner of the 3rd place trophy!

Two happy guys! Great job!!

Cheering for Triston's semi-final race!!

Happy St Patty's Day!

Having a little fun with the camera after Larkin's bath on St. Patty's Eve!

Dance Pictures 2009

We had dance pictures tonite so I thought I'd share a few pictures. I should of allowed myself a little more time with getting her ready because I didn't have time to take any pictures until after the professional ones were done--last year I probably took 30-40 beforehand! She does like to pose for the camera though!! She was a little trooper with me last night...rushed to pictures, rushed back to the hospital for an hour or so to help with the power outage, then rushed to volleyball, and rushed home so she could get to bed! She wasn't happy with me when I dropped her off at home so I could join my team for a drink...but heard she went in and went straight to bed--guess she was truly wore out from all the running!!

Mom, it's still winter out here!!

But I still have one smile left!
