Today our family got to experience our first "official" scout pinewood derby. There was a lot of anticipation, perspiration, and exhilaration that accompanied this event, and we didn't do too shabby if we do say so ourselves. Jake, Reed, and Grandpa Kerry managed to create an awesome looking spider car that performed pretty decent. We won once, and barely missed another. All in all we were satisfied with the outcome. Satisfied but not extremely thrilled - if you catch my drift.

Grandpa Simper's 90th...
Today my grandpa turned 90 years old, but if you were to ask him he feels like he is about 21 - if only he could get his legs to work. We planned an open house for him at the church across from his house and he seemed very delighted at the number of guests who came to wish him well. Two of them even beat him to his own party. We love Grandpa for a lot of reasons but perhaps the biggest reason is his optimism. He sees the good in everything and loves everything about life. He doesn't get too worked up over anything and he loves his family. We love you Grandpa!
