How do you get out an oil stain? Just leave it to Dylan to find out!

That was the question of the day at our house, especially since we have an old truck that leaves a new spill nearly every day! So, when it came time for this years science fair, after some really crazy ideas were thrown out, Mom came up with one of her own, and handed it over to my little man!

Dylan tested our driveway with dawn dishwashing soap, baking soda, green clean, and cat litter. After seeing that the baking soda and the cat litter were working, he decided to do another experiment, and mix the baking soda and cat litter together.

Dylan also won first place at our science fair, and his project moved on to the District Science fair, where he didn't win, but he did a good job! He did the whole project by himself, including cutting out the letters on the Cricut! He's already talking about starting a new project! Gotta love that boy! and I do!!

We now have a young man on our hands!

Hard to believe, but my dear young son has reached the age of young man hood, that doesn't sound right, but you know what I mean, right? Dylan is now 12! He was ordained a deacon on January 1, 2012. He had to go to Primary...all year long! Kind of funny, because in our ward there is two other boys who have late December birthdays, and a girl with a late December birthday, so he wasn't the only one who had to wait, and he wasn't the only one to progress. Grandma and Grandpaw Bryant came up, actually on Dylan's Birthday, so Grandma could have a cornea transplant, and stayed until he could be ordained, and Aunt Kathryn, Uncle Jonathan, Emma, Drew and Jacob came to be with us. They were so kind to come up. Nana had to miss it, since Callie was having a new little baby, which meant that the Wagner's missed it too.


It was a nice day, and we are so proud of Dylan, and the way he is living his life. I can't believe he is 12, seems like just yesterday he was a tiny babe, but I guess it was 12 years ago!
Kathryn took more pics, but she hasn't sent them to me yet.
