"Holy Bat Bike, Batman!"

Brady's preschool has a traditional Grand Prix Race every year. The dads and kids are supposed to create a car (or in our case, vehicle) together out of cardboard, decorate it any way they like and then they race them in the "GRAND PRIX". All the dads take the day off work to go. It is a pretty big deal.
This was our third Grand Prix to participate in as Mckinley and Reagan went to the same school. Brent was feeling pretty creative when he and Tanner decided to build Brady the Batman Motorcycle. Oh my! They spent HOURS and HOURS on this thing. Here is the finished product.
You can't see it but it had "guns" and a laser sight on it. A little over the top you might say. I put my foot down when he started talking about embedding a motorcycle sound in it.
I have to admit that they had alot of fun making it.

And naturally, when you are riding on the batman motorcycle you HAVE to wear your Batman mask!


Brady was pretty excited when he brought home a first place ribbon. How old do you think he needs to be before I break the news to him that everyone gets a first place ribbon? :O)

Builders vs. Wreckers

Image
A little poem I heard from John Bytheway on a BYU fireside (on BYUTV) today. Makes me stop and go "hmmmmm....." I might have another resolution to add to my growing list..... Builders vs. Wreckers I passed one day through a lonely town And saw men tearing a building down. With a ho-heave-ho and a husky yell They swung at a beam and a side wall fell. I asked the foreman, “Are these men skilled- The kind you’d hire if you had to build?” “Oh no!” he chuckled, “No indeed- The common laborer is all I need.” “Why I can destroy in a day or two What builders have taken weeks to do.” I thought to myself as I went on my way “Which of these rolls have I tried to play? Am I the builder who works with care Strengthening lives by rule and square, Shaping my peers to a well made plan- Helping them do the best they can- Or am I a wrecker who walks around Content with the labor of tearing down?” -Author Unknown

Surprise McKinley!

Image
A week ago, McKinley's best friend, Caty, texted me and asked if she could throw McKinley a surprise birthday party on her birthday.  The girls had been challenged by their Young Women leaders to do a 10 hour project for Individual Worth and she thought it would make a great project to plan a fun party for her! She invited 14 fun friends to join in on the surprise. I wish I would have taken the time to take a picture of the cute chocolate fountain and home made cupcakes she made.  She had blown up about 20 balloons and when McKinley walked in to the house they jumped out and showered her with shredded paper. Then they went swimming.  Yes, in November and NO, they had not heated the pool. kiki and  Lexie   with Emily  and Molly  and Mallory  and Kylie H.  and Kaly   the Lloyd twins and Abbey  Megan  Kaylie W.  Michaela  and Kylie P who had celebrated her birthday with a party the night before.
