Pinewood Derby

Recently Jacob participated in his second Pinewood Derby.

Last year we were rookies, so this year we put a little more thought into it ;)

 

I pulled up the trusty Pinterest and showed him some ideas of different themes for cars.

He really liked the Purple Minion.

 

He received first place for overall design.

We must give a big shout out to Daddy for helping ;)

He actually won 3 of his 4 heats in speed.  

Our pack.

This kid! 

He makes us laugh!

Oh, and he wore his Minion shirt to support Jacob :)

 

p.s.  Levi started reciting The Pledge of Allegiance on his own tonight.

I didn't realize he knew it! 

 

After 2yrs of tagging along to all the Cub Scout meetings, he memorized it!

Guess little man has been paying attention :) 



Play Ball!

A few nights ago the Cub Scouts had family night at our local minor-league baseball park.

We met up with our buddy, Cameron, in the kid area - thus no shoes :)

Give me a spoon!

The boys went down front to watch a few plays.

A foul ball was hit, and the player handed it to Jacob!
He was so excited! :) 

Love making memories with my little family!



Easter

We headed down to my parents for Easter.

The kids love all the fun my mom plans. 

She made the cutest bunny cake!

Cousins!

The boys and their fake smiles!

Cuteness overload!

Kris had to work, boo.

Doesn't Jacob look 13?!?! 

That needs to stop, asap!



Lucky Charms!

Before I recap Easter, here are a couple of pics from St. Patrick's Day. :)

 

Lucky to be their momma!

 

Puffy heart him so!

 

This is a pic of a pic because I didn't buy it.

But look at this pose!

He got ketchup on his shirt and pics were after lunch.

 

A few days later he found a 4-leaf clover! 

I know you can't see it, but there were 4! :)



Go #13!!

My nephew, Luke (aka Luke Buddy), recently played basketball with Upward.

Is he not the cutest?!

We made it to his last game that was bright and early one Saturday morning.

But since Jacob gets up with the chickens, we were still able to have breakfast at Cracker Barrel beforehand.

Sweet cousins and friends.

Later we went to Walmart, and we ran into Thomas the Train. :)

Love these boys!!

Zzzzzzzz

It's no secret.
I love taking pictures of the boys asleep.

I mainly only get Levi because he'll fall asleep on the couch or our bed before bedtime.
Jacob on the other hand would stay up till midnight every night!



Let's Bowl!

 My poor blog...

I've lost my blogging mojo. 

But I'm not ready to give it up just yet. 

 

So...

 

A few weeks back we went bowling one Saturday night with Beth and her family.

Kids loved it! 

Kris and I made a bet... whomever lost had to iron the boys' church clothes.

And I didn't have to iron!! :)

When it was my turn to bowl, someone hacked my phone :)

This kid.

HA!

 

Rough night of bowling.
Someone snuck in Jacob's bed :)
