Pinewood Derby Night

Look at those sweet pinewood derby cars that Jace and Tanner made for cub scouts. Tanner's is the red Spider car and Jace's is the green Frog car. Jace and Tanner both picked out their designs, and helped to sand, paint and decorate their cars. They had a great time racing their cars, did OK in the races and enjoyed going to Arctic Circle for a victory treat!!! The whole family had fun an we look forward to making cars next year.

An update on "The Cat"

Well, we wanted to give in update on our cat. Yes, our cat. Patti took the cat to the local pet store and discovered that the cat had a microchip. Eventually we were able to contact the original owner who graciously let us keep the cat.

The Cat actually has a name, Zipper. Ben still prefers to call it "The Cat" because it likes to wake him up in the middle of the night to get fed, play or go outside.

The kids love having a pet and Emma asks Ben almost every day "do you like the cat?" Only time will tell. Enjoy the pictures of the cat who crawled into the warm dryer one cold night that Ben was changing over the laundry.
