Pinewood Derby

As part of my church calling I help out with the Cub Scouts in our ward. We combine with another ward and we still have a smaller group of boys so this year for the pinewood derby they decided to let parents, siblings, and pretty much anyone make a car to race. The boys thought it sounded like a fun idea. So Jaxon made a Rainbow Batman car and Jagger made a Superman car. They thought it was so cool to watch the races and see all the cars but especially when theirs raced. 

This was my first time actually helping to build a car so now I have a much better idea what I can expect in a few more years when they are in Cub Scouts. 

Party Fun

I had debated throwing a birthday party for Jaxon this year but it has been a crazy busy month so I never got around to it, but some friends of ours have kids that also have March birthdays so one of their girls thought it would be fun to have a big party for those that had birthdays this month. It was nice for me not to have to plan a whole party but for the boys to get to have a fun party. 

Between the three families their were 5 kids with March birthdays we celebrated. They picked an animal theme for the party and even had animal costumes for all the kids. We ate yummy food and played fun games and the kids had a great time. 

We even had all the food animal themed. Brent made snake sandwiches and I made cupcakes and decorated them as monkeys, lions, and tigers, but I forgot to take a picture of the cupcakes. 

Birthday Boy

Jaxon had a great birthday this year. He had the day off from school so we spent the whole day doing things he loves. We started the day out with a present from Jagger. It was a box of Frozen cereal. He has been asking for months if I would buy it for them so I thought it would be perfect for his birthday. Next we went to a few of his favorite places; Target, Hobby Lobby, and the mall. We got him a new tie for church and the boys played for a bit at the mall then we stopped for a special treat. 

After that we headed home and had a quiet afternoon while Hendrix napped and I finished up Jaxon's cake. Brent got home a little early and we went out for a special birthday dinner. Jax's choice was McDonalds and we even ate there so the boys could run and play on the toys. Then we went home for cake and ice cream. Jaxon was very insistent on having a Batman cake this year. Luckily I have an amazing friend that helped me make it and Jaxon really seemed to like it. 

Then of course it was time for presents. He got lots of fun new toys. He was so sweet sharing with Jagger and when he was all done they got to stay up a little later than normal to play with all the new toys. 

He said that he had a GREAT day! It was so fun spending the day with him and doing some of his favorite things. He is growing so much and is a really good kid.
