We had another pinewood derby on January 30th. Somehow Wesley had in his mind that he was to old to participate so he did not get a car made. We showed up to the church and Derek got his car weighed in and his number. Wesley brought one of his 1st place cars just to see if it would still win. They let all of the cars have a practice run to make sure the wheels would stay on and they could fine tune them if needed. Wesley decided it was time to see if his would work and put it on the track. One of the ladies in charge asked him why he didn't enter and he said that he was to old. The lady set him straight and took him over to get his car weighed in and a number. On Derek's last pinewood derby his car was having some problems so Grandpa Wright helped Derek and made sure his wheels were perfect for the race. Derek won his 1st & 2nd round, Wesley won his 1st & 2nd round and on their 3rd round they were up against each other. Wesley's won by a very small margin so they had them run them again because it was so close. Wesley's won again and that was the run that was recorded. We switched lanes with the cars and Derek's smoked Wesley's but because they counted the other one it went to Wesley.
Well they took the 3 cars that one all three rounds to see who came in 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Because Derek lost to Wesley he was out of that contest. Wesley said that he felt bad because it was Derek's turn to win. I was happy to see that side of Wesley for a minute. Derek did win a ribbon for the best paint job.

I cannot believe how big the boys have gotten. Preston is already acting like a big brother and doesn't like when his little brother gets hurt or cannot reach a toy, etc. I hope it stays that way for a long time.
Oh the boys are so handsome!!! I can't believe how big they are getting! I am starting to feel really old :) I am so happy to keep up with you guys on your blog! Isn't blogging the best!
