Pinewood Derby

This year was Braxdons first PineWood Derby. Braxdon drew a picture on paper and told his dad that is what he wanted his car to look like! So of course Brandon got out his hammer and chisel and started to work on the car. After a few long days the car was complete and it was Beautiful! The day of the race Braxdon was so nervous, but he did great. I think you learn a lot when it is your first time competing. But Braxdon took 5th and now we know what to do better for next year!

Pocket Rockets

For Xmas the boys got a little electric motorcycle called Pocket Rocket! These little machines are so much fun and can go pretty fast! They can hold up to I think 175 lbs which means MOM gets to Ride!! Yippy!!!

The first time out Braydon was feeling pretty confident so he would go faster and faster and he would turn the corners sharper and sharper, until he finally took a pretty good crash. Good thing he was wearing his Helmet because it got a pretty good chunk taken out of it.. Now days we are taking it a bit slower!!!
