For halloween this year the boys were Mario and Luigi. I was sick but we went to the University because they had and indoor trick or treat thing going on then we came home and Brad and the boys went out to hit the surrounding houses. Then we had some good friends and my mom and Ron here for Thanksgiving it was a nice visit and I am glad that they got to come. So we put up the tree a few days after Thanksgiving. Xander and Zaan disappeared for a little while and when they came back down we had santa and his elf in our living room! We all had a great laugh. I am now done with the semester and am waiting on three grades. I am bummed because I got a B in Macroeconomics but it could have been worse so I guess I will take that. Pretty sure I got an A in both of my social work classes but not sure about my biology grade am hoping for an A think I am in between the A and B range so we will see. Life is good here. Brad is staying busy as he is acting first shirt and is studying for his next stripe. The kids are doing great in school and counting down till Christmas break. Zaan's Holiday program was tonight so we had fun with that. Well that is the update for right now.

Love and hugs enjoy the pics!

Pinewood Derby

Mr. Aaron and Zaan

Last Tuesday was the pinewood derby for Pack 412. Zaan an Mr. Aaron worked hard on his car:)

Zaan chose the design and did as much of the work as he could. He raced a total of eight times and came in first each race. He won the honor of tenth place overall and received a participation medal. Then night was fun till the end. However, we then moved on to district races last Sunday and he won 1st place in the Bears races and 4th place over all in the final twelve cars!!! Needless to say he got a cool medal and trophy for his wins and the day was a smashing success the only thing that could possible have made it better would have been having his dad there to share in his glory. Mr. Aaron was able to come and spend time with him and watch Zaan's car race. Here are some of the pictures of those two events:) His car was lighter on the first night and you can tell the different days because there are weights on the back of his truck in the Saturday runs:)!! Mrs. Pam and Zaan registering his car he loaned his one from last year to his friend to race and that is what Pam is adding lube to.
