Romantic Deserts!!

I have been hosting a Recipe swap for church at my house now for the last 4 months. At first I didn't really want to do it... you know having to really clean the house and then just being a hostess is a lot of work. After the first one, I decided that it was a Blast. So here we are 4 moths later and I finally remembered to take pictures this time.
Being that Valentine's day was comming we did Romantic deserts. I was totally amazed at all the YUMMY sweets.
Here is a link to the recipes... http://tresa.mccormick.googlepages.com/img049.pdf

Tribute to the Prophet

I received an email from my sister the other day that challenged us to read the Book of Mormon again. The twist is to read it in 97 days, which was age of the Prophet when he died. There is a cool site to keep track of your progress and everything. So I asked the kids if they wanted to do it with me and we started it last night. They are very excited to read it and I am excited that they are so eager to do it.
Anyway here is the site if you want to check it out. http://www.hinckleychallenge.com/index.php

PineWood Derby 2008

Its that time again, to build a pinewood derby car. Aiden came up with this design from one of his hot wheels. James cut it out and the the cockpit is a silly puddy egg :)

Sanding the wheels and axils so there is less friction.

The paint job is almost finished. I think they had to repaint the sillypuddy egg like 4 times... mom will get the quick dry paint next time!

Trying to ONLY superglue the two pieces of wood... not the fingers

Weighing all the pieces to see if they need to add any wieght.

Aiden names his car Firebird. The boys had a great time putting it all together.

Here are the other cars that he raced against in our Ward. #3 was the fastest and #5 acctually won overall in the stake derby this last weekend. Aiden did win the best design for the ward.
