Pinewood Derby & Scouts

The pinewood derby is such a highly anticipated event by the boys. Well, maybe more for some of the fathers. By the looks of most of the cars it is apparent that they weren't constructed by young scouts. This is what Howard's face looks like right after a loss. True disappointment.

You can see from the look on Howard's face that his car wont be the winner!!!! Sorry buddy, next time.

What a perfect refreshment for the boys. So creative...

While the pinewood derby is going on the older scouts are being taught the most efficient way to win in an arm wrestling match. You can see the confidence in Christians smirk. He knows Brayden is going down ;)

Christian did win this arm wrestling match. Its a good thing because I video taped it. He may have wish I hadn't if the outcome was a bit different.

How did I become so blessed to have such remarkable boys. My heart is so full of love for each of them and I truly would be empty without their sweet spirits. Even in days of trial and them trying to see how far I can bend, I still would do it all over again....

Saying good-bye to Grandma Judy

How do you say good bye to one of the most amazing woman I have ever met. True beauty on the inside and out. Such love and devotion like I have never seen before. So much compassion. Even in days of pain Judy was always more concerned with others than herself. She was a kind person with genuine love for those that crossed her path. A lady, with great strength. Someone who wouldn't give up no matter what. She never forgot a birthday or a holiday or any other reason to make you feel special, loved and appreciated. There won't be a day that goes by that thoughts of you fill our minds and hearts...... Judy passed away to cancer. Someday we shall be together again.

Grandpa and Christian. It was wonderful to see Dan and Judy together and enjoy the love they shared for one another. Two people who definitely belonged together. My heart goes out to you Dan and I pray that you will find comfort.

Grandpa and Christian

We had the pleasure of being together on camp outs and snow trips and many other events.

Grandma and grandpa with Sabrina. Judy's smile was infectious. It would be hard not to return a smile to such a friendly and welcoming face.

We will miss you so much Judy and our hearts will remember the beautiful moments we were able to have our lives blessed by you. Thank you so much for all you have done for us and the memories that we will cherish forever.

Grandma Judy is just like one of the kids. The water was so cold but of course Judy wouldn't pass up a moment to bond with the kids. Lauryn and Christian on one of our camping trips.
I love you Judy and will miss you always.
