It was the Penick's year at the Grand Prix! Finally! We've been doing the cars with the kids in the Grand Prix for 5 years now and this is thier first time ever to win anything. And they all 3 got a trophy! Both Hunter & Dawson were in the final championship race for Cubbies/Sparks Division. Hunter came in first place overall & Dawson got 3rd. Savannah won first place in Novelty Design. She made a keyboard/piano. And she actually did most all of the work. Mr. Brunette cut it out & I drew the black keys with a sharpie, the rest was all her. She even used a ruler & measured evenly & then drew the lines for the white keys. She used the tip of a pen dipped in paint to do the buttons. Here are all the Cubbie/Sparks winners. You can see all 3 of my kids as well as a niece & a nephew. (Archie Won 2nd place in both speed & in Car Design. Mary Jane won 2nd place in Novelty Design) Here is Dawson's Sword car. He painted the whole thing by himself. Luckily...

We all had a restful, worshipful Valentine's day. Tim & I got new Droid phones for each other for Valentine's Day. (That's what we're claiming anyway) My sweetheart & my phone. :-)

Hunter is in Coach pitch baseball this year. We had a fly-by during his opening ceremonies. He was so embarrassed that we were all yelling his name & cheering for him, he wouldn't even look at us. :-) Hunter did pretty well batting. Such a big change from hitting it off a Tee. And here he is on the pitchers mound. I thought it was so cute, he's doing all the stuff the big- leaguers do. :-) You knew I couldn't post without a picture of out adorable baby. Ella loves to go in her car seat...she's waiting to be taken to Hunter's first game.

Better late than never, I say! It was a great baby shower, thrown by my dearest friend Jennifer Brown, and added to by my mom & sister. And here's what all the fuss was about! The newest Penick Princess! There were lots of interesting & fun games! And of course baby girl stuff is just darn adorable, so the gifts were awesome! Teddi, was incredible with the 2 cakes she made (even with being sick). The cute buggy cake on the right had the best whipped cream frosting ever! Thanks everyone!
