A Busy Saturday

Today was the Stake Activity Day for Caelin and Jace had his 2nd Pinewood Derby.  Jeff took Jace, Jett and Calissa (she is potty training) to the Pinewood Derby where Jace showed off and got 2nd place.  Way to go Jace!  Jett and Calissa enjoyed watching the cars race and Jett talked non stop to people on the side lines.  Calissa made it through the activity with no accidents (lucky for Jeff), then when she got home she let him have it with four of them.
Here is a picture of his car aka "Mach 5"

Here is a video of the final race where Jace (the white car) came in 2nd Place


Caelin's activity was a Mother/Daughter Day where everything was about being a Princess and was titled "Princess Training.  Their first class was "Celestial Princess" based on President Uchdorf's talk "Your Happily Ever After".  That was really great I love that talk and they also learned a new song, "Walk Tall You are a Daughter of God".  The next class was a "Kingdom Cookery" where they made layered deserts that were so neat to see and to eat.  The next was "Majestic Grooming" and why it is important to take care of our bodies and our spirits.  Then Caelin's favorite was "Princess Bootcamp" and we had the best drill sergeant  and she pushed the girls and the moms hard.  I think quite a few will be sore tomorrow.  The final class was "Royal Photo Shoot" where the girls were able to decorate a picture frame and they had taken a picture of us and then had copies made.  It was a fun and exciting and I think I enjoyed it as much as Caelin.

A busy day for sure but the kids had a GREAT day!

Well I can't vouch for the Scouts, but us Princesses sure had a great time! Emma has been sleeping with her picture frame all week!

It's been great seeing you so much lately!

Way to go Jace. Derbys are so fun for boys & dads! Jace has placed the last two years, he should go to the Tucson Mall and race with the region!
The Princess Day sounds perfect. That song is an oldie but a good one. How great they are starting younger with the girls to build self esteem and personal worth. Love it! What a great day!!
