Our Little Einstein

Grace and her friend Mckenna entered the Science fair this year and got a blue ribbon.  They did a project on which flavor of gum lasts the longest.  Their results were Trident Vitality with a time of 5:10.  Steve and I loved looking at all the projects.  Steve's favorite was "Will my dog drink more water after a long walk" project.   Shockingly the results were YES! HA  My favorite was a project by 2 boys "Will you make a higher percentage of your basketball shots with One eye open or Two eyes open."  You will never guess how that one turned out! HA  I love kids!  Grace's project got very high marks. The judges LOVED their use of gum wrappers all over their poster.  Good Job Einstein!

The snow has finally melted and the weather is above 32 degrees! YAH!  That means it is springtime in Idaho.   So we played some basketball in the driveway for Family Night.  We are all a little competitive but luckily no one got hurt and no one left crying.  That must mean everyone is growing up.  (or Lauren is gone! ha)  Sometimes I am sad at how small my family, living at home,  has become.  Derek will be a senior next year and then we will be down to 2 kids at home.  :(  The only good thing about everyone growing up is they get married and have children!  I LOVE having grandbabies!

funny how the game of bump always ended up with Steve against Derek

I am so very glad that Grace did the science fair and even more glad that she did the project on which gum flavor lasts the longest now I know what to buy for my plan trips. Thanks Gracie, job well done!
