About Me

My photo
Our adventures started in amazing Alaska, but have since taken us to beautiful Spokane Valley, Washington. Our family consists of Nick (Dad), Becki (Mom), and our four boys: Alvin, Alex, Rilie, and Jackson. I enjoy homeschooling our kids and we're excited for what adventures Spokane has for us.

Pinewood Derby and other exciting things

First Pinewood Derby for the Anderson family!

"Green Golden Dragon"

Dad adding graphite!

Setting up the track. Alex enjoyed helping out wherever he could. 

 
  
The boys have enjoyed taking pictures.
I told Alvin to go around the room and take a picture of anything special to him. 
These are just some of them.
 



So cute, I made it on his list!
 

Such a handsome boy!



We love our new pack! It is a great group of boys with wonderful leaders. 
I was amazed at how good of a job they did at keep the competition light and happy. 


Nick's (and Alex's and Rilie's) Pinewood Derby Car


To encourage the dads to let the boys make their OWN car, our Elder's Quorum hosts their own pinewood derby the Saturday before... with only a few house rules:
CO2 cartridges, okay. Gas powered engines, not okay.

Alex and Rilie both helped dad make his car. Next year, we'll buy those $1 kits from Michael's and let EVERYONE have their own car.

(Nick enjoyed setting up his work area in the garage.) 

Other Exciting Things

March is interesting here. It can be warm, cold, sunny, rain, and hail... all on the same day.

Thing One and Thing Two

Andrea made these adorable onsies before the babies were born. We were hoping to wear them for Halloween, but we're just now fitting into them. 
Binky Boys

Kael's sweet smile.

Kael: Cousin! Where are you going? We're not done!

Alvin and Alex wanted pictures too. They love their brothers!

Baby Gate!
"Nobody knows the troubled life I lead..."

Having a backyard exhausts, even, the best of us.
