~PInewood Derby ~

It's Derby Time! Shawn is the Cubmaster and did such an amazing job doing this. The boys had so much fun and it ran smoothly! If you have ever heard of horror stories that happen at Pinewood Derby's you would know what I mean. Ours ran so smoothly. Shawn was (is) amazing.
This is our little friend Austin that came with Wyatt! His parents aren't LDS but have always let him come to activities with us!
We had a double elimination derby which Wyatt took 2nd place. We are very proud of him and his hard work on his car.

Of course we made this Pinewood derby a family event. More pictures to come soon of the amazing car the Mckaylee and I made. We had so much fun making it together. The boys were all excited to when Shawn pulled it out and said "Who wants to race Sister Pickett?" It was AWESOME. My car beat every single one of the boys and it was within weight limit too. All in all just another fun event in the Pickett family.

~OuR CuTe DoGs~

Group Hug!They love it when Shawn just pulls the laundry out! It's all nice and warm! This is about the only time Lady will let Shelby lay next to her.

~Verdict~

Well, we will still be here at least another year. Which is great. I love Cache Valley I have a hard time picturing myself moving back. But the hard thing is I miss my family.

~Pickett Update~

Well this week has been busy so sorry that I haven't updated. I have some great pictures coming soon. This week I signed up with 4 other teachers at the school to do the Ogden Marathon 5 person relay on May 15th. I am scared but excited. I will either be running a 6mile leg or a 3 mile leg we haven't figured it all out yet! Also, Shawn meets with his boss on Monday morning to find out if we are moving out of the valley and back down to Davis County. I have had some very mixed emotions about it. First, I would love to be back down by family. I would hopefully go back to work at Tanner Clinic the kids are old enough now that they wouldn't need to go to daycare after school. The catch to that though is I wouldn't be off when they are like I am now. I have enjoyed over the last 2 years of the time that I have been able to spend with them by working at the school. Second, I love Cache Valley. Once you live up here you never want to live anywhere else. It's beautiful. But if we moved I would get out of my calling. (He, He) That sounds horrible. I do enjoy my calling but there is times that it is very hard and many struggles. I will say that I am thankful for my calling and the strength of my testimony that I have now because of it. I will let you all know as soon as possible what the decision is! Love you all!!
