2008 Pinewood Derby

Cole's first Pinewood Derby as a Tiger Cub.

He named his car Buckeye Bug!







His car went about 102 MPH. Not quite the fastest, but it sure did look good racing down the track!



Brady's car was named very appropriatly- American Flag







Brady's car wasn't the fastest either, although at 104 MPH-the red and white strips blended together!



Brady has retired his Pinewood Derby cars (the two on trophies). Cole's Buckeye Bug might be available for racing next year after a few adjustments.

Alyssa's 3rd Birthday

In the mind of a three year old, EVERYTHING is about being Tinker Bell or any kind of princess!! What a wonderful life!
























Even Archie enjoyed Alyssa's princess presents!
