You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. some may be significant only to you. some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experience. - President Hinckley

Our First Pinewood Derby!

Hunter participated in his and our first Pinewood Derby on March 17. We had Uncle Philip send us a car because he's had several boys do this and has gotten very good and mastering the car building part and being very competetive. Hunter wanted to build one of us his own as well, so Travis used Philip's car as a model and Hunter helped sand and paint and glue the weights. I think he has a fun time - the great thing about Hunter is that he loves to win, but doesn't get bent out of shape if he doesn't. He lost one race due to a bad start and when his car hit the bottom last he looked up and just smiled at everybody! Cute kid! It was a super loud fun night!

Good for Hunter!
