Winner of the Flat Tire Award! Ü

Well, here it is another year and time to do the Pinewood Derby again. I can't say that is exactly the top talent we possess in the Crawford genes. We ARE good sports, that's for sure. Well, usually. Ü You might have seen one of these pictures with Eli not looking too excited. But, the important thing is that we participated, right?
 
Our stake puts on a pretty impressive Pinewood Derby. They have a nice track, have a screen up with the boys' pictures and how they rank, sound effects that sound like the car is starting it's engine and then peeling out....and all that fun stuff. We enjoy watching all the different cars that are created.

But for sure, we don't have the mad skills to get a trophy car. I don't know what it is that the rest of them have. Honestly, we only have one more year to go and we have NEVER won the thing. I know, there are lots of people that swear by watching some stuff on you tube or some other place online...but i guess we just never thought of doing that ourselves. Or maybe it's too much work? I don't know...but....if you can't be THE TOP DOG.....what fun is it anyway?
 
Unless you win the FLAT TIRE AWARD! Eli was so excited that he got the flat tire cake! Yep, that MUST be the reason why we didn't want to get any extra hints from anyone or anywhere, cuz that way you get a cake all to yourself! Yesiree! Good Job Eli! Here's to one more year til we're DONE with this sport! AMEN!

I sooooo dread the Pinewood Derby with 3 little boys! Nice to know I"m not the only one who can't figure out those things!
Masons poster was awesome! He would've made a great Pres. What a good sport.
