The future

I couldn't help but snap this picture of Jamie helping Reagan do homework.  Jamie affectionately calls Reagan "mini-me".

Lava Lamps

Keeping with the theme of simplicity- the boys and I made "lava lamps" a few evenings ago.  Nothing more than vegetable oil, water, food coloring and Alka-Seltzer was used to make the content come alive inside.

2014 Boys State Hockey Tournament

The Boys with Cousin Greg and cousin Jake

Pine Wood Derby 2014

Much preparation and effort went into creating two official 2014 Cub Scout PineWood derby cars for competition.  This highly anticipated event is taken very seriously in the Halverson household.  I couldn’t help but join in on the fun by creating my one of a kind Skunk car.  I focused on esthetic value rather than speed.

Reagan took third place and Riley took 2^nd place in their age groups, respectively. 

I anticipate this yearly event will produce a wide variety of wood cars that will serve as reminders of the simple fun we had together as a family.
