Sam was excited to receive his Wolf award at the Pack Meeting. With so many other boys Sam’s age, there were a lot of awards being handed out which tends to make Pack Meeting go a bit long but I appreciate the work that the Cub Scout leaders do and the time they spend on… Continue reading Sam’s Wolf Award

Snow Day
I am sure glad that I took care of the tomatoes yesterday because this is what my garden looked like today. A couple of days ago we had some snow, but not enough for the kids to play in. Luckily last nights storm brought in enough for the kids to enjoy!
Sam’s artwork
Today is my birthday and Sam made a special picture for me. It is interesting that when my girls draw pictures they draw a scene, but when Sam draws a picture he tells a story. Can you see the story behind this picture?
Summer Swimming Lessons
This year Caroline and Sam started swimming lessons at level 3. They can now swim well enough that I don’t have to keep a constant eye on them when they are at our community pool. Diana couldn’t take lessons at the beginning because she had a rash that took a long time to get better.… Continue reading Summer Swimming Lessons
Second Grade Puppet Show
Sam’s second grade class did a puppet show last school year and I thought it was about time to make a post about it. The class broke into groups and did a tiny puppet show about a story they read in class that year. Sam’s group did theirs on Tops and Bottoms. The kids prerecorded… Continue reading Second Grade Puppet Show

Fortunately for me, Sam didn’t have much patience for sanding and balancing and those… Continue reading Pinewood Derby
Fun at the new park
Down the road a ways the city built a new park. It is not that great, but since it is a change from the old on they have been going to it is like hitting the jackpot for the kids. One day I decided to take their pictures just for fun.
Sam’s Baptism
Sam’s Baptism was a bit different from the older kid’s baptisms because Grandma Connie and Grandpa Kent are no longer in Utah and thus can’t make it easily to the baptism. So this time it was a smaller, quiet affair. Like the other kids before him, Sam got a new set of scriptures and was… Continue reading Sam’s Baptism
A New Cub Scout
The best thing about turning 8 for boys is that they get to join Cub Scouts. Sam was very excited about Cub Scouts and his new uniform. Nancy wasn’t so excited about her assignment to be a Den Leader and her new yellow uniform. The family is looking forward to to Pinewood Derbys and Blue… Continue reading A New Cub Scout
Sam’s 8th Birthday and the lost camera
This past Saturday we had five little friends over to celebrate Sam’s 8th birthday. It was a very low key affair. To start things off we had Pizza and lemonade, while the boys talked about video games and other boy stuff. Then we played the candy matching game which is like memory where they match… Continue reading Sam’s 8th Birthday and the lost camera
