As a part of my Christmas, Dad and I went to the Winter Warm Up at the Millinium Hotel.  There were prizes, games, giveaways and lots of autographs.

Among the ones I got was one from Bob Forsch.

Did you know that Bob threw TWO no-hitters fro the Cardinals!  And he and his brother Ken are the only brothers to throw no-hitters.

A friend of my Dad’s invited us to the shooting range today.  I got to shoot a 12 gauge shotgun, and I hit the clay pidgeon on my second shot!!

I think I’ve found a new hobby! :)

Here’s a picture my Dad took as I was dropped off Sunday at 5th Grade Camp.  Much like Cub Scout Camp this summer I am away from home for 4 nights, but this time we are in cabins and there is about 100 of us!

I’m lucky too that Mrs. F (seen in the picture) who I had as my second grade teacher and is my all-time favorite teacher runs the program.  She’s the best!

This was the first year that I asked to play baseball.  I’ve played soccer (it’s OK) and I’ve taken quite a bit of swimming lessons (I really like swimming!) and of course I play chess (Hey, it’s a sport! :) )

Anyway, here’s some photos from my season with the Padres.

And I finished…….3RD!!! 3rd out of 26 racers!!!!

IT WAS AWESOME! Last year, I was 13th out of 17 cars, so this year we did much better.

I’m pretty darn happy with the work that my Dad and I did on this years car. On Wednesday of this last week, our car was REALLY slow. The wheels and axles seemed to be the problem. So my Dad got out the wheels from another kit, cleaned them up lightly, polished the axles, and graphited the heck out of them, spun them and hoped for the best.

Friday night at the shakedown, we finished first probably 15 times out of the 20 test runs we did!! We were RED HOT!!! :)

Against my wishes, my Dad put some glue on the axles (I didn’t want to mess with it at all!) to hold them in place, but it was fine. Saturday we put some more graphite on the wheels, and hoped for the best.

I won the first seven races I was in!!! Then I started to slow down, I guess all of my graphite was wearing off. I next placed second, and then at the final round I was third and thus third overall.

Here’s some pictures.

He’s a picture of me working on my Pinewood Derby car for this years race. Last year we did “OK” for first timers, but this year I hope we are more competitive. My Dada has been reading up on Pinewood Derby Secrets. So hopefully we’ve made some good choices. I’ll post a picture of my car when it’s completely done.

PS. My dorky sister will have a car for the race too. We’ll post her car picture as well.
