Pinewood Derby

Kyle's Lightsaber

Brad's Lego Car

This year was Kyle's first year & Brad's last year for the pinewood derby. Kyle wanted to go with a Star Wars theme and Brad went with a Lego theme. The boys had a lot of fun making their cars. Brad had finished in the bottom half the last two years. He was a good sport, but I could tell it bothered him. Our friend Adam Worden gave us some tips on how to make our cars faster and it sure helped. Kyle finished 3rd out of the Wolves and his car won the award "Cubmasters Favorite". Brad finished 1st out of the Webelos and 3rd overall out of 38 kids. It was great to see the smiles on their faces. Now I only have 8 (possibly 11) more cars to make, which William has his planned out already. He wants to make a firetruck with a ladder that goes up.

Brandon Mull

Brandon Mull is the author of the Fablehaven series and he came to Omaha to sign autographs. My claim to fame is that Brandon served his mission in Antofagasta Chile. Unfortunately he left right before I got to Chile, so I never knew him. I'll tell Janette that Brandon and I are facebook friends and Janette likes to tell me he has over 5,000 friends. Then I remind her that he invited me to be his friend. I'm pretty sure not everyone can say that.

Bradley started the Fablehaven series. He finished book 1 in 3 days and is now reading book 2.

Candy

Candy got a haircut yesterday. Can you tell who gave her a haircut, but left her with a Mohawk & Fu-Man-Chu?
