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!

So, it's January again

We've come full circle and it's time to begin a new year. Now that the busyness is over and we're settling back into our routine again here's what January held for us...

We started 2015 off right - with friends at a New Year's Party. These kiddos rang in the new year!!! We had so much fun!!!

La attended at cheer clinic put on by Norman High School. She got to cheer at the halftime of a varsity boys basketball game. The theme was "Frozen" so she was in heaven! She had a great time, but informed me she liked dancing more than cheering...just broke this former cheerleader's heart :(

All 3rd grade year this boy made the honor roll. This year he missed it by 1 B in the first semester, so he buckled down and made it happen in the second semester. So pleased he did what he needed to do in order to make it happen!
Way to go RTC!

This is also the month that brings the Pinewood Derby! For the 3rd year in a row, he finished 4th in his den. (It was a 3 way tie for 2nd so we had to endure run off races too!) The top 2 move on to race for the top spot in the pack, and his friends finished 1 & 2 in that. I'm glad he's enjoying the competition and that he's happy for his friends to do well. 

This girl competed in the sibling races this year. Her pink dragon came in 1st! 

Then on the Martin Luther King Holiday we met our new friends for a day at the OKC Zoo. It was over 70 degrees and we took full advantage of it! I even handed my camera over to the kids so they could take photos of whatever they wanted. Some of their handiwork is below! We had a great time!!!

 

Looking forward to seeing what February holds for us!

Pinewood Derby

Pack 221 Pinewood Derby...lots of cars and lots of fun!!!

For this derby he and his dad created a tank. 

There were 13 in his den which competed...he earned a 4th place medal.

This was the Pinewood Derby car that

he made for the derby in Pack 258.

He raced both against each other and 

it shocked me but the tank won! 

He loves being in two Cub Scout packs. The differences in each pack I think are what he enjoys most! He had fun at both derbies. 

221 Pinewood Derby

RTC is in 2 Cub Scout packs (we like to keep him busy!) and recently his pack from school held their Pinewood Derby.

In his den there were 13 cars entered. He finished 4th in his den which allowed him to get a medal! That's a HUGE step up from last year!!! He was pretty excited!

Here is RTC with his Dad & our Pinewood Derby Engineer! Thanks for your help, we couldn't have done it without you!!

He's having so much fun!!!

Wow! February already

Wow! I really let January slip away. It must have been all that unseasonably warm weather!


Here are a few shots showing what has been going on here...

This is our first attempt at a pinewood derby car. RTC loved the camo sticker we found to cover it. It looked cool.

Sadly, it didn't run very fast. Oh well, we learned a lot for our first year and hopefully we'll do better next year!

We also had our first school program. I promise he's in there on the left side 3rd row on the end. He had lines that he didn't flub and songs that he actually sang. I can't believe he's growing up so fast!
