Silly CJ

CJ decided that the best place in the whole house to take a nap was... Chu-Wee's dog bed! He is such a silly boy!

Pinewood Derby

CJ participated in his very 1st Boy Scout Pinewood Derby. He got 2nd place in his age bracket. I am so proud of him! He was a really good sport and he cheered on his friends.

Here is CJ's 2nd place ribbon.

CJ painted his car all by himself. It is blue with a red racing stripe along the top. He says that next year he wants to get the award for the shiniest car...

This track is awesome! It has sensors that track the cars across the finish line that times to more than a thousandths of a second and transmits it to a computer and the times get projected onto the wall so everybody can see the times.

Along with Mom & Ashley, Dad & Liz drove in from Tracy, and G&G Smith came to cheer him on. The Buells, Henrys, Pittmans, and Jeff & Aidan were there too! Our families definitely got the loudest cheers!

Ashley entered a car into the sibling race... AND WON 1st PLACE! Her car was so fast!

She was the fastest car on every run!

Here is her trophy. She was so excited!

Here is the winning screen for the sibling race.

Tahoe Jan 2011

We got to go to Tahoe again in January. This time we went with The Pittman's and Erin Odessa's Family. We brought Addison with us. The weather was warm and sunny and the kids stayed out for hours and hours and hours. We had to drag them inside for food and potty breaks, then they went right back outside the minute they were done.

Creating a snowman is a must when visiting the snow!

I know i'm a little biased but he is such a CUTE kid!

Girls vs Boys Snowball Fight... guess who won...

The Henry Family has an awesome snowball maker that they shared with us. It rocks! It makes perfect snowballs.

The kids kept eating the snow no matter how many times we parents told them it was yucky. I'm surprised they didn't freeze their poor tummies.

CJ looking in the 2nd story window. The snow was piled really high between the houses. He liked to knock and wave at whoever was in the family room or kitchen.

Hot tubing in the snow was awesome. The kids thought it was fun to be in the snow in their swimsuits. When they got hot in the spa they would jump out and go stand in the snow till they cooled down then run and jump back in the spa.

CJ liked grabbing the snow then jumping back in the spa and watch the snow melt right in his hand.

We ended up going to the hot tub at the Rec Center every night because the kids liked it so much.
