The Race is On!

Pinewood Derby Season!
It was fun for Collin to race on the track that his Grandpa made 40 years ago (when Robert was a Cub Scout).

As you saw earlier, Collin worked really hard on his car. Dad helped with the flames (cut the tape for him) but it was all his design.

On your mark...

Get set...

GO!

Go...

Go!

Collin was really excited he got 3rd place on his first race...
They didn't really keep score - which made the whole thing go much faster - and they all got patches. The only kid that got a reward was the one whose car broke but just laughed it off.

Spring time in January

Since Spring is here in January we headed off to our favorite park on the Beach

J found a spot that blew his hair back picturesquely...

Collin loved taking Jason on the slide

Kelsey's is just so cute... do I really need a reason to take her picture?

Pinewood Derby Workshop

Again this year my dad volunteered his workshop for the pinewood derby enthusiasts (and those that had no idea what they were doing)

Collin, checking to see if he's sanded enough

Chad tried to keep a close eye on everyone and only stopped one or two dad's from almost losing a finger (or putting out an eye)

Collin always has fun with the other scouts

Dad shows off the car he made with Robert about 40 years ago (before I was born)

January Birthdays

Half of the Meyrings have their birthday in January so we just have one big dinner for everyone.J-man sporting some sweet shades!

The true gift of love

This picture just shows the craziness that are Meyring Family Gatherings!

See, I'm cute!

I was trying to show off Jason's 16 month vocabulary to my mom. He keeps using new words so I was trying to reenact when I pulled out the camera yesterday and he asked me, "See? See?"
This time he didn't say it so I tried to prompt him, showing him the picture I took of him and said, "See?"

He looked at the picture and said, "Cute!"
I swear this kid amazes me everyday.
