The Race is On ~ Pinewood Derby 2009

The Date: February 3, 2009
Are you asking yourself what is so important about that date? It was only the first Tuesday in February, right? WRONG!
It was Garett's first Pinewood Derby! Man was he excited. He worked hard on his "Cowboys" car. It really did look great.
The gentleman that brings the track did a fantastic job with the boys. It is so high tech now.
When all was said and done Garett took home the 2nd place award. Congrats, G-Ray!

Science Fair 2009

A school year would not be complete without the Leatherow boys entering the science fair. This year Colton wanted to know why when you open a can of veggies are they not soggy . . . they are sitting in water.
And Garett he wanted to know which type of bread would grow mold the quickest. The boys worked hard and both recieved great scores.
Way to go boys!

On the way to Vegas we stopped and spent the night in St George. We stayed at WorldMark. The condos were fabulous. We did the same on the way home. The weather in St George on the way home was in one word ~ COLD. The boys,however, would not take the parantal advise given to them and they headed to the outdoor pool (it was heated). But we knew they would FREEZE walking back to the condo. And they did.
The trip was great, the boys did a fine job on the soccer field and this mom loved every minute of it. . . well that was until we hit the weather bewteen St George and Cedar City. The snow, the wind, wondering where the road was, the windshield wipers freezing up, the snowed in first exit. But we made it and really we enjoyed every minute of it.

First Vacation of 2009

What a better way to start the new year than to head to Las Vegas for a soccer tournament. Weston was asked to guest play for a Rampage team ~ he of course was excited; so we along with the Smuins loaded the cars and headed down south. The weather held out for the most part. The last game of the tournament the wind was blowing pretty hard.
