The Best Wedge Yet

Tanner started attending scouts shortly after his 8th birthday. He was so excited and counted down the days he could attend. Tanner just happened to make the cut off to participate in the annual pine wood derby. Here's a picture of most of his wolf pack! Boys, boys and more boys!

Tanner was called up to race his best friend Justin. Justin's parents, Sean and I became a bit nervous for them to compete. Tanner beat Justin and Justin was amazingly supportive and cheered Tanner on the remainder of his races.

The rest of Tan's cheerleaders watched with anticipation.

Tanner put a lot of thought into what kind of car he wanted to make. He looked at some scout websites for ideas and tips. Dad assisted him in cutting this car shape with a saw and Tanner did the rest. He spent hours sanding it so it would be come out just perfect. He won an award for having the "Best Wedge Shape"!

Tanner won the pine wood derby for his age group! He nearly won over all. We are so proud of Tanner's hard work, time and effort he put into his 1st of many derby cars. Daddy was adamant that Tanner do the project unlike some of Tanner's friends fathers make most of their sons cars for them.

Tanner and his best bud Justin. I was assigned to visit teach his mother DeAnne when he was a newborn and I was sick pregnant with Tanner. Needless to say, DeAnne and I became best friends and  by default we made the boys do the same.
