Most Rockin' Car

Tyson participated in his first Pinewood Derby last weekend! He had such a great time. We knew ahead of time that Shawn wouldn't be here so Ty and him cut the car out a few weeks ago and Tyson went to town painting it. Shawn got the wheels on and then the rest was up to me! I added the weights and Ty did the rest. He insisted that this was HIS car and he would do the work, which thrilled me!...and he did. On Saturday morning before the derby he decided to add a rock to the top of his car...he said "I want everyone to know that this is my car...if it had a rock on it they will know!" He was right! He raced well and was a great sport. He came home with the award for the most Rockin' Car. He was so super excited about that! We had a really fun night.
Austin had his first Boy Scout Campout as a Deacon. He totally packed himself, made his own tin foil dinner and he did great. He said he was fine the next day when I picked him up. He had a lot of great things to say about camping and can't wait till the next one! :)

**Kailee was invited with about 20 other students to go sing at the Houston Rockets Game on Saturday. We watched and watched to catch her on TV singing the National Anthem. All they ended up showing was when they lined up on the court and then they went to commercial. Bummer...so we didn't get to see her on TV. Oh well...she had a blast. She called me and told me that Yao Ming is a giant cuz she stood by him and that she got to high-5 all the Golden State Warrior players! :)
