Baseball, Soccer, Grand Prix, Fun Run and Career Day!

We have had a lot going on since my last post!  This spring has been the busiest one yet!  To finish up Zander's birthday festivities, we had Super Hero Night at AWANA.  Check out Spiderman (a.k.a Maddox) holding the AWANA flag.  Zander got a sweet treat (which is the Sunday night tradition after AWANA) to finish out his birthday night.  Both boys had new shoes delivered since they keep wearing through their tennis shoes.  We are hoping basketball shoes might work better for these busy boys!  Finally, Zack brought lunch to Zander on Monday, and he got to invite some of his friends to sit outside and eat with him.




Zander testing out the new hair product that Grammy and Grandpa got him for his birthday.... he looks so grown up here!
I went out of town last weekend to celebrate Jamie's 40th birthday.  While I enjoyed a weekend away in a mountain cabin, Zack had fun with the boys.  I got a picture of them playing soccer at the nearby track.

I got home in time to see Zander play in one of his last soccer games of the season.  They brought home a win with a 3-1 score!
After bringing Zander home from soccer practice this week, I discovered that Zack and Maddox had taken out two more of M's baby teeth.  I have no idea how he will eat until some of these teeth come in! haha
Maddox continues to love baseball and even had Mollie cheering for him one night last week.  He had three home runs this week!  He has played catcher some but his favorite positions right now are short stop and first base, both positions where he has had double plays recently!  I can't wait to get his baseball picture... they sent the proof that is included below.  I get to see Emerson and Eli while I am at the ball field which I absolutely love!
We had our annual AWANA Grand Prix night last Sunday.  Maddox brought home third place with his American flag design.  The rest of the Houstons participated in a 6 minute challenge to build a car from scratch and see which car made it down the track the fastest.  Zander won the whole thing competing against his parents and some other AWANA leaders and his best friend, Jackson.  We all came home winners as it was a fun evening.  We are so thankful that Zack works for weeks to get the boys' cars competition ready!
We had our school Fun Run (Glow Run) to raise money to buy new curtains for our school.  I loved getting to check in on my boys for a moment during all the fun! #workperk
Yesterday was Career Day and Zack was asked to be a presenter!  He was in one of my friend's classrooms and she said he did an incredible job keeping the kids entertained and giving them important information about his occupation!  Zander loved having his daddy at school and purposely planned to attend one of his sessions!
