Grand Prix, Soccer Stud and Folly Fun!

Last weekend, the boys had their annual Awana Grand Prix race.  Daddy works so hard to help them with their unique designs each year and creates cars that zoom down the track.  This year, Zander came in 1st place for design with his Avengers themed car.  Maddox came in 2nd place for speed in his division.  There are three division and over 90 cars that enter this race each year so we are really proud of the boys for their podium performances!  They are already planning their car designs for next year!

We spent this past Friday and Saturday at the soccer field!  Zander had a tournament to finish out his season!  He played all three games of the tournament and his team came in second place overall, being able to play in the championship game on Saturday afternoon.  We had great fans supporting our soccer stud at each of his games this weekend!

After soccer, we went to our annual Spring Folly!  The boys (like their mama) enjoyed the snacks as we moved from one vendor to another!  This is always a favorite weekend of mine as it signifies the start of summer events for our town!  Maddox saw his BFF, Mollie, and we had to grab a picture for the wedding album. ;)

My azaleas out front always bloom on Mother's Day weekend.  They seemed to have bloomed early this year so I grabbed some pictures with my boys in case they don't last until next Sunday!

After Awana last night, we grabbed a sweet treat (a tradition each Sunday evening)!  It is our next to last Awana of the year as we take a break for the summer.  We splurged and let the boys get dipped cones with their ice cream! ;)

In news from around the globe, the United Kingdom crowned a new king this past weekend.  I woke up at 5:00 a.m. to watch the processional and coronation ceremony for King Charles III.  His mother, Queen Elizabeth II was crowned in 1953 as the head of the monarchy so it had been 70 years since the last coronation.  It was exciting to see King Charles III's son, Prince William, along with his family as they are the future heirs to the throne.
