Caleb earned his Arrow of Light and is advancing to 11 year old scouts! I can't believe he's old enough.

I love my new calling in Young Women's. One of our first activities was a "Just Dance" party to get to know the girls better and just have fun with them. Of course the leaders had to join in too.

Marcus with his first ever trophy! He was so excited to be 5 and sign up for a sport.

 Yes! That's a snake and it was inside our house. I know it's small, but I watched as he slithered behind the washer before I could catch him. Ryan had to pull the washer out and remove the back to get it out. 

Found my keys like this the other day. I thought it was probably Nolan, but the drool on the floor confirmed my suspicions. 

First Day of School

Caleb - 5th grade

Eli  -3rd grade

Marcus - Kindergarten (1/2 day)

Caleb is 11

Caleb is such a great kid. He is becoming so responsible. He is perceptive and can tell when I need help.

 I will often hear him reading a story or occupying Nolan for me. We have even started to leave him in charge while I run errands or we go on a quick date.

This year we we wanted him to have a BIG party and be able to invite anyone he wanted. This is rare in our family. So, we had pizza at our house, then loaded up about 20 boys and watched "Percy Jackson" at the drive-in movies. We borrowed a trailer, filled it with boys, foam pads, popcorn and had a great time.

He got a wake board and a cool knife from Ryan.
