Chandler's Pinewood Derby

Chandlers first race that night. Chandlers car is the one way up front. He won that race by a long way!

Chandler and Daniel racing against each other. It was a pretty close race but in the end Daniel won!


I LOVE to hold Daisy Hansen anytime I can, so I was holding her, cheering and taking pictures at the same time!

Wow, what a exciting day and crazy night!!! First we had to go put the pinewood derby track together at the church. Then the Elders came to help with our front yard. Then our sister Mindy had her baby boy, Coleman Jace Muir (YEAH) and then Brian and I had to go get my mom from the airport at 4:44 and then hurry back to get to the derby by 6:oo, luckily her plane was a little early and we were able to make it in time to see Chandler race. This all happened on Tuesday. CRAZY!!! There were 14 boys that raced their cars and we had 96 races in all. Chandler won 9 out of 13 races and tied with 3 other boys for 4th place. Even though he didn't win he had a blast. They would all cheer on their favorite cars or their friends cars and it would get pretty loud in the gym. The track that they raced on is new and they bought it with the popcorn money they raised and still have plenty of money left over for a fun trip this summer. I think that is neat that they bought a new track, now it is something that they can be proud of and look back and say "Hey, I helped get that"! Well even though Chandler didn't get 1st place like last year (he tied with Jeron), Daniel (our nephew) took 2nd place. He was so excited his car did so good for his first derby. They are going to take their cars to the Miami/Globe tournament next month. Jeron made a car for that one too. It will be fun and neat to see how well they do at that one. They take the top 4 to Phoenix to race!
