Jake's scout troop held the pinewood derby on thursday night. Jake and Brent worked so hard on their car! When the time came to race it Brents words of wisdom to Jake were these. "I don't know how fast it's going to be.... but it sure looks good!"

CAN YOU GUESS WHICH ONE IS JAKE'S?

Just a little fun news about our Jake.

He started Baseball, spring training has begun. This year he'll be playing for the "Oakland A's" He's looking really good out there.

Also his teacher called us the other day to tell us he would like Jake to start going to a 4th grade math class for the rest of the year, because he is getting some of the highest marks in his 3rd grade class and the teacher thinks he would benefit from something a little more challenging.

The very next day, the reading specialist spoke to me and said that Jake is the top reader in the 3rd grade. (last year he was the top reader in the 2nd grade.)

We are so proud of Jake and his accomplishments. I wanted to make a note of it. Way to go Jake!

Rylie and I had a chance to volunteer at the Desert Breeze sectionals. It was a great opportunity to see some REALLY fast swimmers! Rylie and her friend Emma were the awards presenters. What a fun opportunity.

Nascar came to Vegas! Brent got us some tickets and we were off to the races!
