Ready, Set, GO!

Clayton raced his final pinewood derby race on Tuesday night. He wanted his last car to be totally awesome. So Justin and Clay worked on ideas and how to make it go fast for weeks. Their final car was so cool! Clayton won second place and was over the moon with the trophy. All of the cub scouts took a vote on who's car they thought was the most creative. They voted for Clay's and he won a trophy for that also. That one really surprised him. He whispered to me, "I can't believe that all of the boys really liked my car. You and dad are the best parents ever." Moments like those really make me grateful that this boy is mine. This is the final car! Clay named it Geronimo!
Clay also earned 3 activity badges that night. He is slowly getting closer to getting his arrow of light award!

This is Clayton and his friend Hunter showing off their cars.

It was fun to see Justin and Luke last night. Luke is so dang cute. I love that you can feel what a happy kid he is... you are a good mom!
