After Sophie’s trip to Build-a-Bear, the boys got a surprise box in the mail. It was from Ridemakerz, which is the boy version of Build-a-Bear, but with cars you make and customize yourself instead of bears. We had to order by mail since Dallas doesn’t have a store yet.

Tommy got an orange Dodge Challenger and Jake got a blue 2010 Mustang (or DaddyStang, which is Jake’s word for it).

She’s eight today and just made her annual trip to Build-a-Bear with her Daddy!

Jake figured out a way to reach the pedals on NASCAR 09 for Xbox 360 (and having a blast wrecking the field)
