The race is on







Saturday was a very fulfilling day. Some days you just feel so blessed with what the Lord has given you and you have a full heart. Saturday was one of those days. It started off dropping Lil Hoff off with my sister and brother in law so that I could head over to the bowling alley and participate in an Optimist activity. Optimist has teamed up with S.C.A.N. (supporting children with additional needs) and a couple volunteers are signing up each Saturday to spend the morning helping a child bowl.  I had such a good time. These kids are so delightful to be around and have such wonderful personalities that you forget that they do have additional needs, but the kids are bowling and laughing and having such a good time. And the parents are just hanging out with one another and laughing and have a equally good time. I left that morning feeling so unbelievably humble by what I have in life and I could not wait to see Lil Hoff and smother him in kisses.

I then meet up with my sister and brother in law and nephews at the derby race. My nephew is in cub scouts and this is his first race. They get a block of wood and they can shape it into whatever they want, the only rule is that the car can't weigh more than 5 ounces. It was fun to watch him get excited as his car was beating out others, we are not sure yet if he won but he defiantly had a fast car.

Here he is with his car. He had designed and named it "The Hawk". My sister said he did most the work himself and did such a good job.


Get ready, set, go! Each car raced in each lane so that it was completely fair and no one could say that one lane was faster than the other.


They can really gain some speed coming down that hill.


And the crowd went wild!


Good job Steven! I am so proud of you.
