Pinewood Derby - Districts

We went with Taige to districts to race his car again. There were a lot of boys in his age group. Taige raced in the 4th heat and took 1st place in his heat! Yay!!! He made it to finals! There were 14 boys in total that made it to finals. Taige took 4th place overall. He had a lot of fun. Unfortunately only the top 3 received trophies. He was so close! He was such a good sport, but he sure was hoping to be in the top 3. He kept a big forced grin on his face while his eyes watered and his face turned red, but he never did cry. We were impressed he made it so far!

Scouting

Today was a first for Chase and I both. I took him at 4:30 to his first Board of Review for his Tenderfoot and Second Class. There were three adults on the review asking him all kinds of questions, having him explain certain things and having him recite different oaths, promises, etc. by memory. He did great! I of course was sitting there beaming with pride. I don't know if there is anything that makes me happier than to see my children making good choices, excelling and doing well. He will be presented with these awards at the Court of Honor next Wednesday night. He is very close to having his First Class completed as well. He is hoping to finish it in the next 2 1/2 weeks before his 12th birthday. He plans on having his Eagle at the age of 14. I am glad he is enjoying Scouts so much.

After his Board of Review, I picked up all of my kids and went to Taige's parent baseball meeting. Baseball practice starts next Tuesday! From there, I quickly raced to the Church for Taige's Pinewood Derby. He had a lot of fun and enjoyed winning a lot of races! In his Pack, he came in 2nd place and overall (3 Packs) he came in 3rd place. Unfortunately for the little boy, the 1st place winner was disqualified and so technically Taige ended up being in 1st and 2nd place. We get to go to Districts on Saturday!

And there it is!

He's pulling ahead!

It's important to line them up just right.

Along with his awards, he also received a coupon for a pizza and another one for a donut!

California Adventures - Day #3

"California Adventures was a BLAST!!!" - a direct quote from Abi.

Abi was a little too nervous to drive the bumper cars.

They finally got Abi to drive!

It looks like she survived and liked it!

A trip never to be forgotten!

The Beach - Day #2

On Thursday they went and enjoyed lunch at Ruby's on the pier. While they were waiting in line, they saw a sea lion! After lunch, they went to the beach and played in the waves. This was Abi's first time seeing the ocean.

Grandpa said at first they were running from the waves, but after a while,

they were anxiously waiting for them!

Disneyland - Day #1

My parents began a wonderful tradition starting with their 2 oldest granddaughters, Jordynn and Kortlynn. The year the grandchildren turn the age of 12, Grandpa Randy and Grandma Cindy take them to Disneyland! They get to go and stay with Grandpa and Grandma Weech in California, go to Disneyland, the beach and California Adventures. This year, Chase, Abi and their cousin Madi were able to go during our Spring break. It's such a great opportunity to have some one on one time with Grandpa Randy and Grandma Cindy and it's so much fun for them to get to know Grandpa and Grandma Weech better. We sure appreciate all of you for giving our kids such wonderful memories!
