A Valentines Day to love and remember.

We started our weekend early Saturday at the Scout's Pinewood Derby. It's our first derby of course, and Jackson's car design was basic, and the style was low-key. He wanted a Jets' car and when Brett retired the week before, he simply added Leon Washington's #29- no problem! We had low epectations and talked about how it would be a learning experience. But then his car hit the track and went more than 122mph!
He was 2nd in the Tiger Den and 4th for the whole Pack! We move on the the district race February 28.

Before completely soaking up our derby success, we rushed off to Jackson's last basketball game of this season (@ First Evan). I guess he was having an extended adrenaline rush cause he was fierce. He hustled so much, did not hesitate to take the ball from anyone, and even got a blocked shot. I happened to be standing close to a group of dads when that happened and their reactions were priceless. I was so proud! He's too fast for an action shot, but this one is cute.

Having 2 victories by noon can wear you out, so we came home to recharge. And then we headed to the circus. We had a good time as we usually do with the guys.

Then we headed home to hang out with fam and hit the hay!
