A weekend for the boys!

Some weekends are full of house projects, others are busy with church activities and meetings, last weekend was full of events for Landon and Mason. All of which were a lot of fun!!



Friday night was Pack Meeting. Landon and Mason LOVE scouting.

Here they are singing with their Wolf Den.

Here Mason is receiving his Wolf badge. He worked hard and was so thrilled to be receiving it.
Landon also received his Wolf. He was just as excited.
I got two pins, from my favorite twin boys!
As part of the pack meeting, they had a cub-anapolis! The boys designed cars out of boxes and raced them around a track in the gym. They had pit stops along the way.


The pit-stops were: Wash your windshield (spray water in your face) Fill up with gas (drink a cup of water) and change a flat tire (take of shoes and put them back on again).

Mason wanted a Denver Bronco car:) And wouldn't you know Mason insisted on wearing his helmet and jersey while racing.


Landon wanted a Subway sponsored car. Too bad they didn't give us any money for the free advertising (maybe next time).



After the boys raced the siblings got a turn to race as well. Lydia loved it, and did alright considering the size of the box.




Then it was the dads turn. Oh how funny it was!!



Then the moms got to race. I couldn't stop laughing. What a fun pack meeting!




Saturday afternoon, we went to our School Districts "Reflections" Awards ceremony. Landon and Mason both entered this year. Mason wrote a song for the piano titled "I Can Make a Difference by Picking up Litter". Landon wrote a paper titled "I Can Make a Difference..." They both placed first place in our Elementary School's reflection contest. Those that place first, second and third go on to the district's contest.

Mason was invited to play the song he composed on the piano. He did a great job, and had fun playing on a grand piano.


Landon was awarded a certificate for participating in the Intermediate Literature Category.





Mason was awarded 1st place in District for Intermediate Music.

Mason's song will now be entered in the State competition.



Right after the Refection's Ceremony we raced across town to the boys first ever Basketball game. The boys joined their first basketball league this year and are loving it.

For being their very first game they did alright. Besides a few double dribbles, I think they understood the game alright. Landon was trilled that he was able to score a basket for the team on his first game.


Landon giving his coach a high five.

So many fun activities.

It's great that the boys did reflections. I hope Mason's song makes it all the way to National's because I told him I'd go to LA with him. That would be fun!

Way to go Landon and Mason!
Looked like a fun weekend. I would have liked to see your parents run around the church in a cardboard car.
