When they are not fighting. . .

. . . they can be pretty sweet.  I came in to put blankets on a few nights ago and I found Allie snuggled up in bed with Kassie.  It was so cute especially after a day of refereeing disagreements. I told them to stay there and ran to grab my camera. You have to capture these moments on camera so that you can remind yourself and them that they do love each other. Kassie was doing a good job telling Allie and her baby a story while they waited for me.

Brock got Married!

 Ok not really. Brock's school class went on a field trip to Tree House Museum and I was able to go with him. I am glad I did to witness this historic event. The class performed a Tall Tale. Brock was Davey Crockett and found himself in a predicament with some crazy growing trees.

He was rescued by non other then Sally Super Women I can't remember the rest of her name. 

 Brock, I mean Davy, was so impressed he went into town and found out all he could about Sally. It was love. So he proposed and Married her on the spot.

 After the wedding we moved to another section of the museum and printed our very own copies of the Deceleration of Independence. 

 We also learned a little more about the presidents of the United States.

Then we had a little free time to explore the rest of the children's museum.  My group of boys were excited to pay homage to our new King Andrew. We left the museum and headed for a near by park where we enjoyed the sunshine and lunch. Then it was back to school. I am so grateful that I have luxury of being able to attend field trips with my kids. It is always a lot of fun. 

Grammy's V-day Package

  Obviously I am doing a little catch up on blog posts. This is very important because when I actually scrapbook these pictures years from now (yes I am that far behind. More then likely so are you so I know I am in good company ;) I refer back to these blog posts for my journaling.
  Anyways. The kids received their valentines day package from Grammy. Obviously some get more excited then others but perhaps it was because she didn't understand what was inside that brown envelope. The kids loved their treats and toys. The girls needed little coin purses and Brock always loves the airplanes. I think I was only pegged in the head once. Allie also enjoyed her coloring book. Thank you Grammy for the package!

Crazy Hair Day

It was school spirit week a few weeks ago at the Elementary. I have to say I thought we did pretty good on the Crazy hair thing. 

For Mikele's hair we pulled it up over a cup and added profuse amounts of hair spray. It actually stayed up pretty good. She did say it wasn't very comfy to have a cup on her head. 

Brock wanted his hair shaved into a Mohawk. I honestly have been trying for yours to get him to let me do something like this for crazy hair day but he has always said no so I was pretty excited when it was his idea. 

Brock's Arrow of Light

  Brock's Mom has been keeping Brock busy working on his requirements to earn multiple activity pins, his Weblos and his Arrow of Light.  The Arrow of Light is the most prestigious award a cub scout can earn.  Jason and I are really proud of Brock.  We are also very grateful for his amazing scout leaders and all their hard work.  We appreciate the time that was put into den meeting and helping Brock complete the requirements.  We also really appreciate those who planned and participated in the Arrow of Light awards ceremony.

Wyatt, a fellow scout, and Brock both were awarded their Arrow of Light at packmeeting

New Niece Alayna

Last weekend we had the opportunity to go up to Blackfoot. It was a fun filled weekend. I was able to take newborn pictures of my sweet new niece. (see more pictures from the session here) Jason and I also were able to go to dinner and a movie with my parents. We went to the new Sherlock Holmes movie. I really liked it especially after reading The Sign Of Four. Holmes was not the proper sophisticated person that the PBS version depicts. These newer movies are much more accurate to the books.
