Winners Once More!!!

Last night was the Pinewood Derby. I am the new Cubmaster so it was a big event for me. We invited the YM/YW to join us. It was a youth family activity. First we had a dinner and then the Cubs had their race. There were 6 cub scouts. After the cub race we had an open division race. There were 30 cars racing. It was crazy. We all had fun. As you can see Matt and Hyrum did quite well. Matt took 3rd place in the open division and Hyrum took lst place in the Cub Scout Pack division. Kim's car on the other hand had some problems. Oh, well, there's always next year. It was fun, but I'll be glad to get something done besides build cars. We've spent the last three days every night working on Pinewood Derby cars (we meaning, Matt, Kim and Hyrum). It is serious business around here. Congratulations, especially to Hyrum.

Getting Rid of the Yellow Toilet

Why did I entitle this post "Getting Rid of the Yellow Toilet"? For years everyone has been telling me that I just had to get rid of my mustard yellow toilet that is as old as the house. Who puts yellow toilets in houses? Well, after the toilet flood of the new year, we decided since we have to recarpet the back bedrooms it would be a good time to demolish our bathroom and remodel. Here is a picture of the yellow toilet and old vanity on the back porch awaiting the fate of the dump. YEA!! My new toilet is white. Plain old ordinary white. I can't wait. You can see whether a white toilet is perfectly clean or not. Pictures of the new bathroom as soon as there is a new bathroom. Right now we are a four bedroom, one bath family.

Wedding Bells

I know I'm a little late in posting this, but it has been a busy few months. Jenny and Tyler Weech got married Nov. 17th in the Mesa Temple. After the wedding we had an open house at Tyler's parents house in Gilbert. It was great fun. The slide show is just a few pictures from the open house. We haven't received the photographer's picture yet. A big thanks to cousin Tami for these shots. Then the newlyweds went on their honeymoon while the rest of use got ready for Thanksgiving. Two weeks later (after Thanksgiving) we had a reception in Yuma. I will post more pictures when I get them.
