03 February 2008 "Y" my Daughter

Well now we know why Nana always makes Swedish Pancakes when we come to visit. With a full 60% of the votes, our favorite dish that Nana makes is Swedish Pancakes!

"Y" my daughter? That was the conversation Vicki and I were having this past Friday. Since Katherine was accepted into BYU, she now had to find a way to pay for her college. That included writing three 300 word essays. Once those were completed, we had about 20 minutes before the deadline to look for additional money's that were available in the BYU comprehensive scholarship fund. It was reminiscent of when she completed the early admission filing deadline by 15 minutes and she remarked, "I was 15 minute early." Well for scholarship applications, she was four minutes early.

Spencer "crossed over" from cub scouts to boy scouts on Tuesday night. Wouldn't you know that on his final night they had a pine wood derby race. That was Spencer's fourth pine wood derby race in cub scouts and one too many as far as I am concerned. This year, he did the majority of the work so the car was much more his than Dad's or Mom's. His average speed of 4 races was 61.7 mph and he took fourth overall. The grand prize winner was 62.8 MPH. To give an idea of how close the race was, the close up picture shows Spencer's car in the 2nd from right lane and the winner in the 4th lane. The other second and third place cars were clocked at 62.8 and 62.7 MPH respectively. Spencer's car was second fastest in the ward and he got a very nice 2nd place trophy.

The video shows Spencer's Car in lane one and the grand champion in lane 3.
