Last week Desiree spent a few days with my parents, she had a ball! One night she went to their ward’s youth activity in the mountains. After they got set up for the activity – my sweet dad offered to take her portrait. Pretty AMAZING!! I love how these photos capture her radiant spirit. BEAUTIFUL Desiree! She also just got her braces off – a fun way to celebrate. Still can’t believe she is only 14. Thanks for the photos Dad! And thanks Miriam for making her that pretty flower. You would never guess that she can’t walk and is on crutches for her torn hamstring. Happy she is healing and done with her month of bed rest. FYI – NEVER force yourself flat in splits, especially outside in the cold.

{Pinewood Derby}
Tonight was Jacob’s Pinewood Derby Race. He was so excited to race the car that he made with the help of his Grandma and Grandpa Bair. Jacob sketched his car shape out on the block of wood and Grandma cut it out with her cool scroll saw. Grandpa drilled holes in the bottom and helped him put the weights inside. Jacob really enjoyed painting it and putting on the cool decals they found for him. We are so thankful for such kind and helpful grandparents! He needed a little extra weight so our friend gave us some extra ones on top – Jacob said they are rocket launchers (of course weapons!).
He was THRILLED when he placed 1st in a few races and 2nd in a few more. Made his little heart swell with JOY! It was a pretty crazy night with 3 wards participating – but they boys had a great time! We loved seeing all of the creative and unique Pine Wood Derby creations. :)
