PINEWOOD DERBY!!!
So Conner is a scout now, and we got to his first pinewood derby. He designed it, painted it, and helped put the wheels on. We had a little trouble sanding it, so his dad and grandpa helped him with that, but everything else was his invention. Kody wasn't sure about the design, cause he thought it would be too light, and there wouldnt be much wood left (hence the hard to sand!) But Conner must have known what he was doing, cause he got first. After getting beat last weekend in wrestling, winning first in this was amazing! He was so excited!!!

YES! THOSE ARE REAL PISTONS!!! The big one is from a Semi Truck. And it is heavy, Conner needed help carrying it!

About Me
- Brianna
- I’m a small town girl… Born and raised. I met my husband, Kody, at his brother's mission farewell, although he grew up 2 blocks from my house, we never met until then. He was fresh off his mission, and we were married 5 months later, on August 14, 1999. We still live in a small town, and now have 3 children. Conner; 8, Naomi; 5, and Katlin; 3. I am going to school (after 10 years!! ugh!!) and I work as a waitress part-time. We are busy, but enjoy having fun together!!!
That's cool he took first. Much better than Porter's first Derby. He took dead last. We had no idea what we were doing and I did most of the paint job. It looked cool (The Mystery Machine) but it was not heavy enough so he lost every race. Poor kid, he had a great attitude though. Hopefully this year (next month) he will do a little better.
ReplyDeleteThat's so cool. Good job Conner! Cayge said his car looks awesome!
