Derby Cars and Braces

So this is an all boy post. Happy things have happened in both Jacob and Nick's life the last couple of weeks and it's time to share the news. Pinewood Derby for Labelle 3rd ward was February 16th. Mom had to go to Las Vegas for work and so Jake and his Dad went to the derby without me. They had worked on his car for weeks before the day and Jake painted it in the colors of the Chicago Bears. Apparently the colors do better on a car than Hester, because Jacob won!!

All-in-all he was pretty proud of himself.

Then there's Nick. Kinda creepy huh. This is before the braces came off:
Here's the during the braces coming off:

And here's what $2500 has bought us:

Now, I'm sure it's time to start with Jacob.................. kids are so much work. :)

Good looking car AND smile :) How did you get such a good deal on Nick's braces?! We went with the cheapest consult plus got a discount for paying in full up front and Jer's ended up costing 3k! (And poor Jer had the pimped out old-school braces to boot!!!)

Ha ha! lightbulb just turned on…since he's still young and poor Jer was so old that was probably you're cost after INSURANCE ;) Don't mind me and my blonde moments!!!
