Had a great week and weekend. Tyler was awarded the Eagle of the Month at school. He also read the weekly announcement that gets sent out to all the parents and did in amazing job with that. Over the weekend he had friends over for a playdate and nerf war at our house. He and Kristin also went shopping for a new sofa, which he then reported back to me with the all reasons we should get the one he likes. Jake, his buddy Nolan, his Dad and I went to a huge race for kids Thursday through Sunday. There was almost a thousand kids at this race. It started off on the wrong foot when Jake’s engine died on his 3^rd lap of the practice day. With permission from Kristin, I got him a new big wheel 85 (early Christmas, Birthday, Easter, St Patrick’s day… present!!) Lots of fast competition but he did great and jelled with his new bigger bike immediately. He had a great first day of racing and went 2nd-1st in his motos. He had some bad luck on the second day going 8th-6th. The third day he dug deep for a 3^rd-2^nd and got a 4^th and 1^st overall for the weekend!

They ran outside with no prompting when they heard the national anthem playing.

We took the boys to the sprint car races right next door to where they were racing.
