An epic event occurred a few weeks ago
that involved a lot of preparation...
The Pinewood Derby
Not that I know how these things go
But this was pretty impressive
The cars were down to milliseconds with photo finishes and instant replay
Cody ultimately didn't win, but he did AWESOME!
I heard the secret is slicking up the outside of the wheels somehow.
Cody and Ben definitely put graphite in the wheels and spun them, something everyone I talked to seemed to already know, but was a totally new thing to me!
(This winners put the whole track-and-technology together, own the track, and win every year...so no one was surprised when both their sons took first and second, but it is something to try to beat next year!)
Cody named his car the Blue Dart.
Such a well organized event and one of Cody's favorite things ever.
He can't wait until next year!

Mackayla asked me a few days ago if we could buy a baby.
I asked her where we buy babies.
She didn't know, but said they do go in tummies.
Then again the next day, she asked about buying a baby. A boy baby. One she could teach things.
Ideally he could crawl and say goo goo gaga.
I asked her again where we would buy this baby
and she thought about it
and decided it was at the temple.
Maybe she is trying to think of a way not to be the youngest :)
Of course I didn't laugh (because Mackayla does not like to say "cute things," and hates more than anything to be laughed at, even if she is being "cute") but I thought this was the sweetest thing ever.
I hope it's because she knows that the temple is the best place on earth
and it's all about families.
We got the flu vaccine today at our doctor's office.
Cody went first-no sweat- then Mackayla - a few tears of relief and stress, but it was over, phew.
Macey was last and most incredibly, intensely nervous.
I had to hold her on my lap with her arms pinned down and watch her head while the nurse quickly shot...
FLUMIST into her nose.
The girl cracks me up.
