Pine Wood Derby

Jacob received his first award, the Bobcat, at the Pine Wood Derby.

Rich was in charge of the races. The boys all had a great time. Not even one boy shed a tear. I was informed that that is a good measure of a successful Pine Wood Derby. Jacob was sad when we had to leave.

Jacob received an award for his car. Rich and Jacob worked really hard on his car. Jacob's car won the first three races and lost the last three. He painted it green with flames on the sides. Great job Jacob! Oh yeah. Grandma Phillips also made a fun dessert for the evening. She made race cars out of twinkies and mini oreos for the wheels. They were a big hit!

Rebekah's Baby Blessing

What a great day! Rebekah Joy Phillips was blessed on
January 25, 2008.
Notice the beautiful blanket that Rebekah is on. My mom made it for her.

Scott and Connie blessed their baby just after Rebekah was blessed.

What a treat to have Grandma and Grandpa Phillips here. Grandma Phillips helped us out for several days driving the kids places, helping with practicing, doing laundry and dishes and making sure that we had lots of good food to eat. The kids were only OK with Grandma and Grandpa leaving because we reminded them that we would get to go and visit them soon in Florida. Richie even told his teacher at school that he was concerned because I would not have anyone to help me anymore. Thanks for all of your help!

What a beautiful dress--Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Foote. We missed you at the blessing and are so grateful that you are serving a mission. We will always be able to tell Rebekah that you were where the Lord wanted you to be on such a special day.
