This year we had more snow fall on us than we have for the past few years. It was a welcome sight to the children. It even brought the kids a snow day from school. The snow had fallen since the day before and left the roads really icy. Chase and Baylie learned how to somewhat snowboard on cheep plastic snowboards that i found in town since all of the sleds and tubes were sold out. Chase is a natural at it. Baylie took a few times to figure it out but finally got it. Stetson would also tie a rope to the back of a 4 wheeler and pull the kids around on a shovel (they come up with the craziest things), a tire tube and so on. They spent hours playing outside and building tunnels in some of the drifts too.

PINEWOOD DERBY

In January Chase with the help of his dad at the last minute built a pinewood derby car. This was the last year either of the boys would be participating in the pinewood derby, so Loney really wanted this car to win. It was built as a replica of Loneys White Chevy Silverado. It was down to the last race for 1st and 2nd place which was between Chase and his best friend Wyatt. The two dads waited down at the finish line as the two cars passed and it was then that Chase won first place.
