AWANAs Yacht Races

Each year at AWANAs they have an event called "Yacht Races." The kids start with a simple block of wood and some basic guidelines and they create boats which they then race in gutters. Heath and the boys had so much fun designing their boats. Gramps even helped some when he was here. Carter's was a camo boat with a sail made out of a milk carton. Hayden's had an arrow motif with a sail made from a plastic cup with a propeller inside. Hayden's boat actually won the "fastest yacht" and the "best design" in his age group. Although Carter's wasn't the fastest, he did place 1st and 2nd in 2 different heats. We took the night off from our small group Bible study to watch the races. It was so much fun! Carter came home already designing his for next year.

Hayden's Birthday

I can't believe my little Hayden is 4! We sure had a good time celebrating his birthday. He had a gymnastics birthday party at Los Alamos Gymnastics and had 11 friends there to help him celebrate. What fun! The theme of his party was Hotwheels Battle Force 5 and Grammy made his birthday cake this year. Miss Jennie also made some awesome cupcakes to share. Gran and Gramps drove in from Texas for the occasion. The Monday following Hayden's birthday I brought cupcakes to his preschool. They ask the parents to bring pictures of the child to share with the class so I brought Hayden's baby book. He was really excited to have me share pictures of him with his friends.
