Last night our family went to a family Pine Wood Derby at our church. In Cub Scouts Nathan built a car and raced it (Well, Grandpa cut it out, Dad painted it, Nathan raced it). He won first place for his pack. Well, a few weeks after the Scout Derby, our congregation always gets together for dinner and another derby where everyone can enter. This is fun becuase the men go all out to see whose car is the fastest. We have a regulation race and a nonregulation race. For the regulation race cars have to be a certain weight, length, etc. but for the nonregulation race, anything goes. We had cars with engines powered by remote controls for the nonregulation race. It was pretty cool.
Here are the four GRAFF cars!
Anyway, Alyssa, Nathan, Savannah, and Alanna all had cars that Grandpa cut out last year but they didn't get raced because we ran out of time. SO this year Jared painted them and they all had cars to race. In the first three heats Alyssa, Savannah, and Alanna took first place every time. Poor little Nathan kept coming in third and fourth. Then they did the final race off with the final five. The official ending was Savannah first place, Alyssa third place, and Alanna fourth place! Here is Savannah with her car, being announced as the winner. She looked a little embarassed by all of the recognition. It was cute.

Are you a winner?
As I blog surf I found this on my friend's blog. Abi posted this and I thought it was a great idea! My friend Lani posted it on her blog too.
The first 5 people to respond to this post will receive something made by me. What I make will be my choice, but it will be made just for you. Since I only really have 5 readers, that means that you’ll all probably get something
This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:
1. I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!
2. What I create will be an original and it will be made just for you.
3. It’ll be done this year (might be December 31st, but you WILL get something) and I will post all of my original creations as they are completed.
4. You will get no clues what it’s going to be. Heck, I don’t even know what it will be. I might paint or draw something. I might compose a jingle or short song. I might even write a short play just for you. Who knows? Whatever it is, it will be a surprise!
5. I reserve the right to do something extremely strange
The catch? The catch is that you must repost this on your blog and offer the same to the first 5 people who do the same on your blog.
Happy commenting (AND posting!)

Another great video
Another great video with information about LDS temples. Take a few minutes to watch.

My new assignment in church is Enrichment Leader. I help plan activities for the women in my area. One main thing we are focusing on is being prepared for trials that are ahead. The economy is getting bad, and from the projections that Jared watches, it is only going to get worse; worse than the great depression.
This video shows what the leaders of the LDS church have been saying for many years about the need to be prepared both temporally and spiritually.
