Happy Birthday Buddy!

Breakfast in bed was Swedish pancakes of course and Canadian bacon.
Lunch at McGrath's, Austin's favorite food in the whole wide world is shrimp. He loves it so much that he didn't want to eat any snacks or anything all morning because he was saving his appetite for shrimp!
Austin and Grammy
Austin's comment to the cash he is holding- "Money Rocks"! He has $83 dollars in all!

Pinewood Derby


Austin and Rob putting some graphite on the wheels to make them super slickery!
This was Austin's first Pinewood Derby and he had a great time. Technically he's not really even a scout until his birthday tomorrow but because he would have missed it by only one day they let him participate. I can't believe my baby is a bobcat!

Matt and Austin have the funniest conversations. I've learned that if I try to set them straight then it just becomes the two of them telling me that "I just don't understand what they are saying? Whatever!

Austin: Matt did you know that my cat will live longer than I will?

Matt: It will? How come?

Austin: Because cats have nine lives. They can die 8 times before they HAVE to go see heaven. Then on the 9th time they will
finally kill over.

Matt: Wow! I wish I had nine lives because then I could do lots of crazy stunts and never die for a long time!

Austin: Me too dude!

A couple of hours later this other conversation took place.

Matt: Trent how tall are you?

Trent: Not very tall.

Austin: Matt we're not very tall either.

Matt: So. That just means we'll live longer cuz tall people don't live very long.

Trenten and Austin: Why?

Matt: Because tall people don't have as much oxygen in the air up where they are so they can't breathe as well, so they die
earlier than we do.

Austin: I know, I've heard that before. I think my teacher told me that or something?

Trenten: Didn't say anything to them, he just gave me a silly face, giggled, and rolled his eyes.

Wicked awesome dude!

Monday Rob's mom decided to have the kids play hookie and go snowboarding at Brighton. It was the perfect day, great weather, awesome company, and some really fun memories. She is such a COOL Grammy! They had an absolute blast. I was very impressed as to how well they all did with this sport even picking up on the lingo (wicked awesome dude). By the end of the day I thought that they would be exhausted and ready to go home, but boy was I wrong! They actually rode the lift until it closed, snowboarding back down the mountain as fast as their little legs would let them just so they could hurry up the mountain on the lift one more time before it closed. Thanks Grammy!!!
