Pinewood Derby: Gavin and Brent threw this beauty together in just 2 nights. We did the stripe with marker and we could have used a coat of clear paint to keep it from rubbing off everywhere...but who cares.
Everyone in the ward expected Gavin's car to win because Brent is the resident carpenter. The pressure was on! We didn't bring home the Gold, but we should have. Don't ask Brent about the stupid track, or the guy there fixing everyone's cars for them before they raced, or how they bent the rules and let the winning car race even though they did not use the specified kit...still too sore of a subject!I got a kick out of watching Brent. He was just as nervous and Gavin! I tried to take a picture of him sitting there CHEWING HIS NAILS DOWN TO NUBS, but my video thing was on--so just enjoy this .02 seconds of him chewing away!

Great job Gavin! Jeremy caught a lot of crap from all the dads in the ward a few years ago when the girls got to participate with the boys. He did put the clear coat on and didnt let Kell help hardly at all. Needsless to say it sucked rocks but he did learn for the next year. She took 5th te following year and she helped much more! :)
i told shanan about this post. he was pretty upset about the cheating kid winning and the man in charge "helping" everyone with their cars! he is SO excited for our boys to get this big. He said that when he was younger (he has 6 little brothers) their cars never won, but they always looked the best and everyone always stopped to check them out!
