Kason participated in his first ever Pinewood Derby this past October. He and Kerry spent hours making his car. I so lovingly added his "Cars" movie eyes to give it that finishing touch. Their efforts paid off in the end as Kason took 4th and qualifies to go to a regional competition in April. I don't know how many of you have experienced the new updated way the Scout program has of determining their winners. It's all done by computers and can be recorded down to a hundredth of a second. It's amazing! A light at the end of the track will light up in the lane of the winner. Kerry and I couldn't believe how far the derby event has come. Oh, and you wouldn't believe the amount of people who make derby cars for a living or a hobby. Kerry search the internet for car ideas and any tips on how to make a winning car. There were hundreds of e-books that "grown" men had put together and were offering for our purchasing pleasure. Seriously!

Your kids are so cute and to think I've known them since birth! I'm so lucky! Kason is such a great kid. It's funny how into the Pinewood Derby some dad's get. We have a good ward though. Kerry is doing a great job in scouts too.
Zach is such a good boy too. I'm glad they're such good friends.
