Pinewood Derby

 Troy had his very first pinewood derby.  He was so excited to work on it with his dad.  He came up with the design all by himself.  I think he had a rocket ship in mind when designing it.  He worked so hard on that cool car of his.

The only problem was his silly parents didn't read all the instructions to find out that the car could weigh up to 5 oz.  The more it weighs the faster it goes.... Who knew?!?!  His car weighed in at 3.2 oz.  Needless to say, our little man's car didn't take first place.  I think he was a little bummed.  But, we still had a fun time watching all the races.

 Good Job Troyster!

Love you Buddy!

Cousin Time = Fun Time

Bentley and Kenli came over and spent the weekend at my parent's house while Cody and Wendy went away for a fun vacation to Canada.  (btw, totally jealous of them)  Living next door to my parent's, means that we got to see them all weekend long too.  Blakley couldn't have been any happier:)  She LOVES cousin time! 

These kiddos were so funny.  They couldn't get enough of the pool and the slip-n-slid.  We would get them all dry and in new clothes just to find them wet again.  But when they were actually in their swimming suits they would stay away from the water and just play in the sandbox or on the swing set.  Silly kids!  

Lagoon

Clint's work party was held at the one and only

The party happened to land on the same day as his marathon.  So what does he do??  Runs the marathon, takes a nap and then heads to Lagoon for the rest of the day/night.  The kids were so looking forward to it.  I was still recovering from my surgery (another post) so I decided to stay home and let my dad have my ticket and go up with them.  Cause come on who loves a theme park more than my dad???

Shane, Brooks, Benson, Cody, Wendy and Bentley all went to the big shebang too!  From what I heard, everyone had a GREAT time!

Thanks

Utah Valley Marathon

He did it again!

26.2 miles

This was Clint's 2nd marathon this year.

I am so proud of him!

This was about 1/4 of a mile away from the finish line and it looks like he could run another 5 miles.  Really babe??? Can't you make it look like it was a little hard for you???

Finish Time 3:58

Clint and Brent

So glad that it is over!

Troy's class made these tie-dyed shirts to wear for the last day.  They were all so colorful:)  He came home with everyone's signature on it.  What a fun way to finish off the school year.
