It's a work in progress, so stay tuned...
There's an awesome movie, called "Down and Derby", inspired by the pinewood derby, which I highly recommend watching. It is funny!!!
The Elders' Quorum in my ward sponsored the Lake Ridge 12 Ward 2nd Annual Extreme Pinewood Derby on May 17. I participated in the first derby a few years back, and did poorly. This year, I added some grease to the wheels, and taped some quarters onto the car for added weight. It helped. I won 3rd place. I also won the "Prettiest Car" award. It was a fun night. The funniest, most memorable part of the evening, was when Chris Barton used taco grease from his dinner plate to grease his car's wheels. He won 2nd place.
After the derby,I hurried over to my neighbor Brooke Robbins' wedding reception (Her sister, Kristin, made her wedding dress and it looked amazing!) . I met Luz Cardenas' mother and we took a picture outside the center.
My awesome cousin Jason came home from his full-time mission in Brasil on March 13. My Aunt Lisa was able to go spend a few days with Jason in Brasil before they both flew back to SLC. The night before, many friends and family members made "welcome home" signs and blew up balloons in an attempt to fill up Jason's room. The room ended up about 1/2 way full. It was a lot of fun!!!
I wore my Brasil shirt in honor of Jason's return from Brasil.
Later in the day, I went with my grandma and Aunt April to see my cousins' piano recital. They did great. I wish I could have made it to my nephew's recital a few month previous.
