The race is the weekend of May 29th and 30th. But activities start this weekend.
Cristian LOVES the cars "oom- oom" every time he sees a car.

Kaelobbe's Pinewood Durby

This car comes with the procrastination of Josh and Kaelobbe. They really got to work on the car Sunday. Finished up with the caving Monday. Painted Tuesday. Put the wheels on 1 1/2 hours before the race and we brake the front left axle off the car. Thanks to Gorilla Glue, a clap, and a hour to dry we made it through all 3 heats. The car only weighed in at 3.89 grams we could have added a whole gram more but we did not want anything else to happen.

Way to go Kaelobbe on your 1st pinewood derby. We are so proud of you.

10th anniversary

This morning I woke up to Cristian crying realized that Josh had got up. I went down stair and in to the kitchen.There was Josh. He asks me what time I got up to get Kaelobbe up and I said not for another 15 minutes. He then tell me that I ruined the surprise. He was making me breakfast in bed. So he sent me back to bed so that he could let me enjoy the thought.



The pink rose was on my breakfast tray and the dozen red roses where waiting down stairs for me.Josh made fresh blueberry pancakes, sausage, and a egg for breakfast with ruby red grapefruit juice. I was in heaven.

Then Josh, Jonathan, Cristian, and I all enjoyed washing Josh's car. We had loads of fun watching Cristian spray himself in the face with the hose. Josh and I got cleaned up and then we went out to dinner.

Me before we left for dinner

We ate at Ginza's. We love that place. Josh had Octopus Salad, Sushi, and the Scallop dinner (fried rice, veggies, shrimp, and his scallops plus onion soup, and a salad)I enjoyed the Ginger Chicken dinner (it came with the same as Josh's except for the scallops.) they were go good and a lot of food. yeah lunch for tomorrow. Yum.
