And the Winner is....

Cayden Odegard!! You might remember this post about the AWANA Grand Prix. Brandon and Cayden got his car looking great and Cayden won every race he was in. Which meant he got the first place trophy for his catagory. Congratulations Cayden!!

Mom Side Note: I know I was more excited than Cayden was because he didn't really understand what was going on. It was so hard for me to balance all my emotions. On one hand I really wanted to cheer for him and encourage him, but on the other hand, I wanted him to understand that it's ok if he didn't win, its just fun to participate etc etc and then on another hand (yes, I'm a mom, I have lots of hands) I was so excited for my son to win. (which isn't the best example either, but I'm a mom I can't help it, it's a primal instinct I'm sure:) )

(I thought I had a picture, but I'm not seeing it. Maybe I'll just have to take one now and put it on here.)

Piano

Last Tuesday Cayden started piano lessons with Miss Eliza. We've only had one lesson, but I think it will be lots of fun for him. I was going through old posts and saw this one. Little did we know she'd actually be giving him lessons a couple of years later.

Preparing for the AWANA Grand Prix



A couple of weekends ago, Brandon and Cayden spent a lot of their Saturday making, painting and decorating their cars for the AWANA Grand Prix. Result post to come as soon as I get pics :)

Bedtime

Cayden loves to sleep with his "buddies." I try and rotate which ones he sleeps with so that he's not too attached. He currently sleeps with either, Boy, Bull, Naptime Care Bear, Moose, or Dolphin. He names them, aren't they original? :)

And Karis just loves to play with her clothes, usually it's her socks, this time though, it was her pants:)

What Does Karis Think?

Valentines Party

Cayden and Karis had their first Valentines Party and it was so fun, they had...

Crafts...
Heart hunts...
Cookie making...

And they went fishing for gifts:)

It was such a great time for everyone. I love our new church and all the opportunities it offers!
