Pine Wood Derby

Dylan had his 1st cub scout Pine Wood Derby race tonight! Chris and Dylan have been working on the car for a while now and we were excited to put it to the test. They did a great job and his car was one of the best looking out there! Dylan won 2 of the 4 races he was in! The winners were based on averaged time though so he came in 11th place (out of 37 cars). This was our first year and we learned some of the tricks tonight so they better watch out next year!

"Incredible" Sunday

Dylan got his report card this past week and he did great! We are so proud of him. His Nana and I decided to treat him to an afternoon at "Incredible Pizza." (a new fun place that just opened in Cordova- it is like Chuck E. Cheese, but more stuff for older kids to do like min. golf, 3D ride, indoor go-cart race track, bumper cars, etc) So, G-daddy, Nana, Aunt Mel-Mel, Chris, Dylan and I spent much of today there. We had lunch (pizza buffet) and then we hit the games. We all tried out the arcade games. Dylan and Chris really liked the motorcycle race game. I liked the 3D ride and skeetball. G-daddy and Dylan did a go-cart race together and then Melanie, Chris, and I raced! Chris won by a long shot (he watches ALOT of NASCAR), Mel came in 2nd, and I came in 3rd. There were 5 other cars behind us. We all had tons of fun!

Basketball

Dylan is having alot of fun with his 1st basketball season! We've won some and lost more but the kids have a great time playing. Tonight they took some team pictures so I brought out my camera to try to get some shots of my own... (the gym lights don't agree well with my camera)

Skating Party

Well it was a busy day for birthdays! Today was Meemaw's birthday. Late this afternoon was Tatum's birthday party. Before we went to her party, we went to a birthday party of one of Dylan's classmates, which was held at the skating rink. I went with him and even got on skates myself, which I haven't done in over a ten years! there are no pics of me-just Dylan ;-)

Tatum's 1st Birthday

Dylan and Cedie's Godmother's daughter Tatum turned 1 on Jan. 4th. The age difference between Cedie and Tatum is the same as between her son Grant and our Dylan. Dylan and Grant call each other "God-brothers." I guess Tatum and Cedie would be "God-sisters." I digress....

Tatum's birthday party was today. We were out of town the weekend after her birthday and it was the anniversary of Cedie's passing so Tatum's mom held the party this weekend instead. The party was at their house and there were lots of people. Tatum was adorable as always! She had a princess crown that was just like the one I bought Cedie on her 1st birthday. The party was bitter sweet for me but I'm glad we went.

Happy Birthday Meemaw!

Happy Birthday Meemaw (Chris' mom)!
