Happy Birthday Dallin

This year we did not do a big friend party because of Dallin's baptism next week.  But he had a great birthday none the less.  It was a BUSY day to say the least.  It started off with Dallin going to baseball practice with Gar in the morning after we had waffles with a special caramel syrup and present opening.  Then we went to Skyzone, a warehouse filled with trampolines for the kids to jump.  We let Dallin choose one friend, he chose his friend from school Mason to come with us.   

Then Dallin had a basketball game in the afternoon.  Mason came with us to that as well and Dallin insisted that we bring Zingers for his team to celebrate his birthday.  After we had Dawson, Lisa, Abby, Lex, Chase, Logan, Papa, and Mae Mae come over for pizza and cake and ice cream.  (Papa and Mae Mae are Lisa's parents)  They were sweet to come and celebrate with us.  We ended the day by the playing Just Dance 3.  They even got Garrett, Dawson and I to join in.  Birthday wishes pull a lot of weight!

I can't believe that my baby is 8 years old.  Seriously where does the time go???

1st Pinewood Derby

This was Dallin's first pinewood derby and first outing as a cub scout.  He is not officially 8 until next week, but they let him race because his birthday was so close :)  Dallin was so excited to build his car with hid dad.  They had a lot of fun doing it together, with some help from Jake Marshall in our ward.  They did not expect much from a winning standpoint, but they were pleasantly surprised to be one of the top 10 of the 3 wards racing so he got to move on to the finals that night.  He did not place in the finals, but it was fun to participate.  He got to participate with one of his best friends Matthew Edington.  They turn 8 within a week of each other and get to be baptized on the same day.  Dallin told me he can't wait to turn 8, be baptized, be a cub scout and get his Faith in God book.  

Dallin's car is the white one, named F-5. 

Dallin took 1st in one heat and was so excited!
