February...that time again

Well we certainly had a fun filled February!!!

Just take a look...

We ended January with one Pinewood Derby and started February with a different one!

It wasn't until after the event that I realized this was his last 258/264 Pinewood Derby. Next year he won't be a cub scout with them any more!

I got to go with the crazy Kindergartener on her field trip in February. To the Science Museum we went. I got to tag along with her and her sweet little friend. We all had a great time!!!

One of my favorite traditions in Norman is the Daddy Daughter Dance. Every year around Valentine's Day dad's with daughters 4-14 can get all dressed up and take their girls out dancing. This year we tried adding curls to her board straight hair. With help of some sponge curlers in her hair all day - it worked!!! She had a great time!!! So did her dad!!! Such a fun thing!

So RTC played basketball again this winter. Different team, but much the same outcome. The coaches were great and the boys tried real hard. Having fun and learning the game are my requirements and he met both of those!

Proof that it snowed in Norman this year. Yes enough to cancel school for 2 days...

RTC participated once again in the Mall Marathon. He enjoys playing - I hope he continues because I have no plans on letting him give it up anytime soon!           

And for your listening pleasure...

Enjoy your March!

Our Renaissance Man

In case anyone missed it we LOVE living in Norman. It's not just for the SOONERS either. Norman is a community filled with quirky little annual events (I can't think of too many towns which have a Chocolate Festival or a weather event). This weekend our son participated in one of those! It was the 23rd Annual NAMTA Music Mall Marathon. The event is sponsored by Norman Area Music Teachers Association, Gilliam's Music and Sooner Mall. This year there were 20 different music studios that performed along with a showcase for advanced high school students, and vignette performances featuring several of the teachers. There was piano, violin, and flute music from 5:30 pm on Fri. until close of Sooner Mall at 6:00 pm on Sun. Yes, anyone in the mall can stop and enjoy! It's seems a little odd at first, but this is his second year to participate and he really enjoyed it. 

We're a little biased, but we think he's doing pretty good and he's having fun. He loves his teacher and that makes asking him to practice soooo much easier! We found it interesting that the president of the University of Oklahoma was in the audience during this! 

It's a short video so please enjoy!
