Crawling, Soccer, and Pinewood Derby!

Wow, did we have a fun weekend! It all started Friday with the annual Elders Quorum Pinewood Derby. Nick had worked on his cars for many many hours! His first car, was made of pine, and was painted gold, and he called it "the Whale' for the way it was shaped. The other car, the one he pimped out, was made out of aluminum, and was pretty detailed. Neither of the cars were the fastest, but it was fun, and the food was good. It was fun to see all the men and boys so giddy over such a simple task of speeding toy cars down a ramp! Here we are before we left, Kaylee all dressed up to attend the big event....the flower bow didn't last very long, but it was cute while it DID last!
Nick and Carson getting the cars registered. It was double elimination, and I think Nick won one, and lost the others.

Ready, set, GO!!!

Once we got the race cleaned up, the little kids started a game of Red Rover, which was so enjoyable to watch! Carson had never played that game before, and he really thought that was fun!!

Here is Chris Hall, I think he is putting graphite on his wheels to make them faster, we just thought it was funny, he was being so surgical about it!

We had yummy steaks that we grilled, and people brought delicous sides to share.

So the next morning, we got up and got ready for Carson's soccer game. Nick worked that morning, but got home in time to come with us to the game. Carson did even better then he did last week, but still isn't the best at kicking the ball. But he loves to run, it is so great to see him out there playing! (He is the one with the white shinguards on).

(Notice that other than me, the coach, there were also other parents out on the field, since some of the kids didn't want to play by themselves! :)

Look at Caron run! Isn't it the cutest! Notice the other little boy pushing, which is a common reaction of three year olds! They are constantly being reminded to "Not Push" and "Don't touch the ball with your hands"

The other thing we found over the weekend, is how mobile Kaylee is getting. We were just getting ready for bed, and relaxing, and some how Kaylee got herself under the couch, and was happy for awhile, then realized she was kind of stuck!!

Kaylee loves to get around now, and loves being on her tummy. She is slowing realizing how to push off with her legs. It will only be a matter of time, before she is really getting around!

Carson and Kaylee are so cute together! I hope that continues as they both get older!

Sorry for all the pictures, and rambling of how CUTE and FUN everything is! But I just wanted to share!
