Derby, Birthdays, and Peek-a-Boo Too!

We have been having a ton-o-fun at our house lately. Mike went to his Cub Scout Pinewood Derby. He didn't place, but his car was super cool. It was a hammerhead shark. Yeah, it was awesome. And Mike turned 10 yesterday and Josh turns 12 on Friday......he is going to be the skinny little deacon passing the sacrament. Ahhhhh.....so crazy! Mike is a WONDERFUL kid. He is loving and thoughtful and kind and helpful. He has gotten the "caught you being good" award at school probably 20 times this year. He has great attitude most of the time. He loves playing baseball and loves the outdoors! We love having him in our family. Josh is still the Mayor of our family. He makes sure everyone is okay. I love having one on one time with him. I get glimpses of the young man he is becoming. He still loves to play the computer (minecraft is his fav). He is in band this year playing the snare drum and bells. He even got asked to be in the 8th grade band next year as a 7th grader! He is a great kid and we can't imagine our lives without him! Ben is almost walking. He can stand by himself really well and takes 2 steps then stops. He started playing peek-a-boo and can do the actions to patty cake. It is stinking adorable! Here is a video of Mike at the derby. I love how he gives the kid he races a high five! Here is Ben playing peek-a-boo....I know, you could eat him with a spoon!
