I am sitting here, wondering what I can blog about since it has been a few weeks since I updated. But I guess I am too tired to get up right now to get my camera and down load my "new" pictures. So instead of getting up and getting my camera, I decided to look back at the pictures we took when we were in MO. this summer. And noticed that we took some great pictures of us with our <span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: yellow;">FRIENDS</span>. <span style="font-size: small;">Terry and I have some very good friends and our kids have some awesome friends too. </span> </span><span style="font-size: small;">I am so thankful for Angie and Mike for letting us stay with them and giving us such a wonderful time while we were there. They are wonderful hosts:) Thank you, Angie and Mike. I love you guys. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">We also saw Jody and Melia. We had a good time hanging out a few times that week.We miss them here in SC but know that God has sent them to MO. to go to seminary. I am looking forward to see what God is sending them. But we miss them here in Lexington:( </span><br />
So I wanted to share some pictures of our friends...Although I am mad I didn't get a picture of Angie and I. Oh well, I guess we will have to take another trip to MO. next year so we can get that picture taken:)<br />

The week before school started we packed the family into the car and drove 12 hours to St. Louis, MO. to go visit Josiah's friend Walter. They moved last December and we decided that it would fun to take a road trip. We got there on Saturday night around 8pm and the kids were so excited. Josiah jumped out of the van and ran up to Walter and gave him the biggest hug. I wish I had my camera ready but I missed that opportunity<br />
<br />
On Sunday we just took it easy. We hung out at the Bianco's house and then around 5:00pm Jody and Melia Van Dyke and their kids came over for pizza. Joel was so excited to see Noah. They just hung out and played basketball and whatever else 12 year old boys do. Joel ended up going home with them on Sunday night and had a sleepover at their house.<br />

On Monday, Angie woke up with a stomach bug. She had planned to go with us to see Jody and Melia at Covenant Theological Seminary and see their new apartment. And then go to the St. Louis Arch. But she ended up staying at home with Hanna while we took Walter with us. <br />
<br />
We first went to Covenant to pick up Joel and the Van Dykes. The boys had so much fun together. I think they played video games all night. <br />

Last week, my friends Rebecca, Starr and I had a baby shower for our friend Sara. We had so much fun getting ready for it. This is Sara's 4th baby and since they don't know what they are having we decided to go with a "neutral color" baby shower. We thought a lamb theme would be cute. So I decided to google "Lamb Baby Shower Ideas" and found<a href="http://www.thecakeblog.com/2011/11/little-lamb-birthday.html" target="_blank"> this</a>. This is actually a 1st birthday party but we made it a baby shower. Rebecca made all of the table decorations; the invitations (50+) and the sheep frame. She did such a good job with all of it. I have to say, it was a LOT of work but I had so much fun doing it.</div>

Sara's daughter, Abby got to come and celebrate at the baby shower. She was so proud to be there (since her two brothers were at home with dad). I think she had a good time. I told her that she could have the little sheep from the cake...although I wasn't sure how it would taste. (I personally don't enjoy fondant that much)...and I don't think she did either. Oh well, the cake was beautiful:)</div>

Josiah's 4k class have been watching the life-cycle of a butterfly. They got some caterpillars in the <a href="http://www.insectlore.com/Living+Kits/Butterflies/Butterfly+Garden+Shipped+with+Live+Caterpillars.axd#" target="_blank">mail </a>and watched them metamorphosis in their classroom. So I told Mrs. Ward that I wanted to be there when they were going to release them. So last Thursday morning I got a phone call letting me know that they were letting the butterflies go at around 10:00am. So I grabbed my camera and went to school. <br />
I got some great pictures of the kids playing together on the playground. Of course when they saw the camera they all wanted me to take their pictures:) I have to say, this picture of Josiah and his friend Cooper is my favorite:)<br />

The last one she put on a flower and he stayed on it for quiet a little while. I think she walked down the line two or three times. When he finally did fly away, he stayed on a bush right in front of them. It seemed like he didn't want to go anywhere. The kids just loved that.</div>

For the past 12 weeks or so, Riley and I have been part of an organization called <a href="http://girlsontherun.org/default.html" target="_blank">"Girls On The Run".</a></div>
Girls on the Run<span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">® </span></span>is a life-changing,
experiential learning programs for girls age eight to thirteen years old. The
programs combine training for a 3.1 mile running event with self-esteem
enhancing, uplifting workouts. The goals of the programs are to encourage
positive emotional, social, mental, spiritual and physical development.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We have had so much fun. We met every Tuesday and Thursday from 3:00pm-4:30pm at our elementary school. The girls would have a snack, then a lesson and then we would go outside and warm up and run. So on April 28th was the BIG day for the girls. We ran the <a href="http://www.providencehospitals.com/Heart_Sole_Women_s_Five_Miler" target="_blank">Heart and Sole</a> 5k.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are a total of 15 girls that participated in our school and I believe they all had a wonderful time. To make things a little more fun, one of the teachers got all the girls and the coaches some very fun socks to wear on the day of the race. Those were a big hit with the girls. </div>

<br />Because SO many people were attending the Heart And Sole run, each little girl needed a running buddy. So Riley wanted aunt Merry to be her running buddy. She was SO proud that her aunt wanted to do it with her:)</div>

For Riley's 9th birthday party, she decided she wanted to do a cake decorating party. I had SO much fun working on it and getting it together. She invited about 8 girls. They all showed up except for one. I got them all little chefs hats and aprons (although they were a little small). But they liked them anyway. I used my cricut and put their names on their hats... </div>

and then we used cupcake liners to make little flowers to glue onto their chefs hats. They had so much fun making those, they decided to make one for their apron's too. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
After we decorated our hats/apron's it was time to decorate the cakes. I went ahead and make the cakes ahead of time so they would be cooled and frosted with a crumb coat. I made about 4 different colors for each girl to use. </div>

So Friday was our last "official" day of Spring Break and I had to make it a good one. Thursday we stayed at home but the Fontana kids all came over to play, so that was a pretty good day for the kids. They got to play together and Mari and I got to work on a birthday party for Donovan. I think we got a lot done. <br />
So today we decided to go bowling.They were so excited. We met Mrs. Stacey Strock and her son Jonathan there too. Jesse and Jonathan were in kindergarten together but now he is at a different school. I am not sure if they really remembered each other. But they had fun together anyway. <br />

Tuesday we got to take our neighbor to her doctor's appointment:) and watch a movie in the afternoon at home. Wednesday was another big day...we went to the zoo. Since we just got our membership renewed we thought it would be fun to go-and we had to pick up our membership card at the zoo. So we met some friends from church, Leigh and her boys Luke and Colt and Holly and her 2 year old daughter, Ross. Holly has her own <a href="http://lifeasathrifter.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">blog, "The Life as a Thrifter" blog.</a> Holly is one amazing lady. So crafty, so thrifty and an awesome mom. I have to say, Ross is one of the most adorable little girls I have ever seen (besides Riley, of course). <br />

They just opened this new exhibit called <a href="http://www.riverbanks.org/mediacenter/releases2012/0103.shtml" target="_blank">"Sky High Safari"</a>. Joel was dying to do it but we had to say no this time. There were so many people there and the line was pretty long too AND of course it cost more money and I didn't bring my wallet. So we walked passed it and walked to the giraffes. That is always fun because they got to feed them. <br />

And then of course when we got to the barn, everybody had to milk the cow again. I think its so funny how this wooden cut-out always is the BIG hit for our kids at the zoo:) and evidently Leigh's kids too:)<br />

Leigh also has a pass to get the free train rides. So the kids had a blast with that. Of course Josiah and Luke got into one car. Colt went into another one. And Riley, Jesse and Ross stock together in another car. Riley was the "care taker" of Ross. She did an awesome job. She is going to be a wonderful mommy one day.<br />

Finally, while the little kids were playing on the playground, the big kids (Joel, Riley and Jesse) got to climb the "wall". Joel loves doing this. I think he got up that wall in about 30 seconds. And then slid down even faster. <br />

We (Leigh and I) were ready to go home but the kids really wanted to go see the pinguins and the snake and fish aquarium. There were SO many people there. And if you have been to this zoo, you know what I'm talking about. These rooms are crazy. So we told the kids to grab a buddy and stay with them. Jesse got Colt (which worked awesome!!! They have the same personallity.</div>

Riley and Luke were partners. Evidently loves girls:) so that was the perfect match too. And Riley likes to be the "mommy" so that worked for her too. She would take him to the different exibits and read that the little plaques said. I think she will be a great teacher one day:)</div>

<br />Monday was the first "official day" of Spring Break for the kids. We (I) didn't just want to stay at home and lay around. So I have been trying very hard to come up with some things for us all to do but doesn't cost us (much) money. So for the first day we decided to go to pick strawberries. When Josiah and I went <a href="http://www.rogersfamilyof6.blogspot.com/2012/04/strawberry-picking-with-good-friends.html" target="_blank">strawberry picking</a> a few weeks ago, all the kids were pretty dissapointed that they didn't get to go (even though Jesse is the ONLY one that eats strawberries). So we loaded up the van at 9am and drove to Gilbert to pick strawberries. <br />
As you can tell from the picture below, there are fields and fields full of strawberries.<br />

As you can tell, we have LOTS of strawberries. We are almost done with the first bucket (remember, Jesse and I are the ONLY ones that eat them). I think I am going to try to make some strawberry jam with the other bucket. Those always make WONDERFUL teacher gifts. <br />
<br />
I think the kids had a wonderful day. On our way home from picking strawberries, we stopped at one of our local parks, <a href="http://www.lexsc.com/parks_gibson_pond.htm" target="_blank">Gibson Pond Park.</a> We first just sat on a little bench for a few minutes and just enjoyed the crisp spring weather and God's beautiful creation.<br />

I have to say, I had fun:) Joel and I were sitting on one of the rocks just watching them and he said, "Thanks mom, this is the best Spring Break". I love it when they are happy, even when its something so easy and basic! <br />

Yes, our little girl turned 9 yesterday. She was so excited for her birthday to get here:)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She woke up and waited for everybody to wish her a happy birthday. She was especially excited that we decided to go ahead and give her present BEFORE school instead of after school. </div>

This year she did not give me any ideas on what to get her. So she told us to "surprise" her. So we ended up getting her a <a href="http://mogocharm.com/" target="_blank">charm bracelet.</a> They are very cute. They are magnets that click onto the bracelet. </div>

Thursday morning, after Josiah got out of school we decided to meet up with Leigh and the boys and go strawberry picking. We met up at church, put Josiah's car seat in their van, and drove to Gilbert to pick strawberries. The boys have so much fun together:)<br />
When we got there, we got a bucket and started picking. They are SO red, juicy and waiting to get picked. So Josiah had to have a little lesson on how to pick a strawberry...we DON'T pick the <strong><span style="color: lime;">GREEN</span></strong> strawberries and we want <span style="font-size: large;">BIG</span> ones not <span style="font-size: xx-small;">little</span> ones-like the one in the picture below:)<br />

We had so much fun. We could have spent all morning there but really all the strawberries would go to waste. Jesse and I are basically the only ones that eat them. Josiah was so cute. Since he does not like to eat them he kept saying he was picking strawberries for Jesse. He was so excited to bring a bag of strawberries to Jesse after school. <br />
After we were done picking strawberries, we got to go over to Luke and Colt's house for lunch and a play date. They have all kinds of <strong><span style="font-size: large;">"COOL"</span></strong> toys over there so it was a lot of fun. They have a "Jeep" and a four-wheeler, so he got to work on his "driving" a little bit. He is not ready for his licence though...I wish I had my camera out there with me. He would drive the four-wheeler with one hand and have a water gun in the other hand....those two things don't work too well with a four year old. He kept running into our van's.<br />
After we were done driving around on the drive way, we went into the back yard and had a little snack and played on their trampoline. I have to say, Josiah was pretty sad when it was time to go. But we are hoping to get together again this week. Thanks Leigh, it has been fun getting together and getting to know you:)Paulinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11579142439639786371noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7864063404653602365.post-78573901459629829302012-03-25T05:00:00.000-07:002012-03-26T10:59:04.674-07:00Park Play Date<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Ever since Josiah's friend <a href="http://www.rogersfamilyof6.blogspot.com/2012/01/youve-got-friend-in-me.html" target="_blank">Walter</a> and his family moved we haven't had many play dates with people. I know BOTH of us are really missing them. So yesterday we got together with our friend Leigh and her two boys Luke (who is 5) and Colt (who is 3). We met at the park and had lunch while the boys played. We have been trying to get together for a while now but Luke got the chicken pox about a month ago and it took him forever to get better. So I am glad we got to have a play date at the park.</div>

Since I am "friends" with Leigh on Facebook I had found out that morning that it was her birthday. So when she told me that she was planning on going to this new place called "The Chocolate Monkey" after the park for some ice cream, I told her we would go with her. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We drove with them in their van and enjoyed some REALLY good ice cream. As you can tell from the pictures below, the sugar hit them pretty quickly:) They started being silly and they wanted me to take pictures of it. </div>

After we rested for a bit at the camp site we decided to go ahead and go to the lake and let the kids (mostly the boys) go fishing before it started raining again. <br />The lake we went to go fishing at had a very nice dock. There were some other people fishing there too. </div>

Riley has gotten very brave about holding a worms in her hand. I know, I know, its a worm no big deal. But remember, this is Riley. She can be a girly-girl and she does NOT like bugs. But for some reason worms are her friends, UNTIL....they poop on her hands. Then she puts them back in their container. </div>

So this past weekend we went to Table Rock for our camping trip with Jesse's cup scout troop. We had so much fun. I really wanted to hike Table Rock but evidently it takes about 3 hours to hike up there and then you have to get down again. So that's an ALL Day Edventure. And Josiah having little legs, I don't think that would have really been fun. But I really hope to do it one day. <br />

This weekend we went camping with Jesse's cub scout troop. We went to Table Rock and had so much fun. We got there around 5:30pm on Friday afternoon and had to get the tent up pretty quickly because it looked like it was going to rain any moment. Luckily, it didn't start raining until 9:00pm. It was a pretty good storm though, rain and thunder. But luckily we have a pretty nice tent and we all stayed dry.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br />The Next day we went to Hagood Mill in Pickins County where they were having their kids day. Again, it was pretty cloudy but it was nice because it is already getting pretty hot.UGGG! </div>

They had different things to look at including an old Cotton Gin. Riley especially enjoyed this because she is learning about South Carolina history right now and they are in the middle of the civil war right now and learning about Eli Whitney and the cotton gin.</div>

We had such a good time. After we were done walking around, we got into the car and drove to Pinkins and had lunch there and then went back to the camp ground. I was so glad we stayed dry that day. Although when we woke up Sunday morning to rain again. So we stayed in the tent until it stopped and then packed everything up and left for home. Once we got home, we had to put everything back up since the tent was ALL wet. So we put it up in the drive way so it could dry up. We thought we had to leave it up until Monday night so it could dry all the way, but because it is already so hot it dried up in about an hour. So then we had to take it DOWN again. Luckily my neighbors, Tony and Marlene were SO nice that they invited us over for dinner that night. One LESS thing I had to worry about:) THANK YOU, TONY AND MARLENE!!!!Paulinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11579142439639786371noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7864063404653602365.post-76599036308345297542012-03-15T17:49:00.002-07:002012-03-15T17:49:20.616-07:00Member of a team<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Yes, its official...Josiah has started soccer this spring. And he is loving it. We have practise every Wednesday night at 6pm. His team is "The Lexington Robins" and it has kids ages 4, 5, and 6 in it.I believe he is the youngest. But he is having so much fun.Last week they had a scrimmage during his practice and he just followed the group of boys, running after the ball and yelling. </div>

The coaches are great. They are coaching at the right level. They play games with them and show them the correct ways to kick. They play this one game called "OUCH". Where the coaches walk around the field and the boys are supposed to take their balls and kick their coaches with the ball. Let me tell you, Josiah thinks that is hilarious. Every time he hits his coach with his ball he just laughs. I guess its a great way to teach them how to dribble. <br />

He had his first game this past Saturday.And since I had a prior engagement that I had promised I would help with, I was unable to attend. So needless to say, I did not get to take pictures. I think Terry might have taken some on his phone but that is about it. So I am hoping I will get some next time.</div>
<div align="center">
Terry said that he had a lot of fun. You know they don't "keep score" at this age but you know the parents/siblings keep score!!! So, the older kids informed me that his team won...13-0</div>

Jesse's class is learing the rules of grammer this week and one way they are learning is by writing notes to soldiers in Kuwait. This project is partly because Mrs. Denny's husband is in Kuwait. He has been there almost a year and will be back home in May. Enjoy the video:)<br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">During Christmas break, Jesse and Terry worked very hard on getting caught up on all his activities from his Cub Scout hand book. One of the activities he had to do was cook dinner. So that is what we did. He decided he wanted to make spaghetti so I went and got all the ingredients from the store and we got started. He put on my apron and started cutting the onion, green, yellow and red bell peppers. Once we got everything cut he browned the meat. He did a really good job and you could tell he was really enjoying himself:)</span></div>

***Tonight Terry and Jesse worked on some more cub scout assignments and he is officially a "WOLF" tonight. He is So exctied. And I am very proud of him. He has such a good time with the Cub scouts. I can't wait to see what God has in store for him with the cub scouts/boy scouts. Who knows, maybe HE will go all the way and become an eagle scout!Paulinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11579142439639786371noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7864063404653602365.post-61969635897959454582012-01-29T20:04:00.000-08:002012-01-29T20:04:48.678-08:00You've Got A Friend In Me...<iframe allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" id="twttrHubFrame" name="twttrHubFrame" scrolling="no" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets/hub.1326407570.html" style="height: 10px; position: absolute; top: -9999em; width: 10px;" tabindex="0"></iframe><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Friday before Josiah's best friend Walter moved to St. Louis, he got to come over and play one more time while his mom Angie was at home with the movers. They had such a great time together. They got to play the WII, watch a movie and while Walter's sister Hanna was taking a nap the big boys got to play on the trampoline. As you can tell from the pictures, they had <span style="font-size: large;"><strong>SUCH</strong> </span>a great time. We decided it would be a great time to have some "silly" pictures taken oven each other. They would run around on the trampoline and tackle each other and then just hug each other. I do think they understood that it was going to be a very long time before they would see each other. We would love to take a trip this summer and see where they are living. I think they would both love to see each other again. And to be honest, I would love to see them again too.</span></div>

We learned that mom has a LOT of oak trees in her yard. It was amazing. We told the kids the day before that we were going to Oma's house to rake her yard. And let me tell you, they were not looking forward to it. And honestly, I really wan't either. But if you saw her yard, it was looking pretty bad. you couldn't even see her drive way or even the grass. So...we told the kids that ALL of us were going to help and that the less we complain the more we would get done. We started raking at 11:30am and the picture above was taken probably about 15-20 minutes into it. We made one big pile of leaves so the kids could jump into it. You know every child LOVES jumping into a pile of leaves. Ok, maybe not EVERY child because Jesse decided that he really didn't want to do that. <br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Joel turned 12 on December 6th. I can't believe he is 12...One year away from being a teenager!!! NO!!!!! I can't be a mother of a preteen?!?!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We had a nice night. Because his birthday was on a Tuesday (school day), we took it pretty easy. And since he is pretty much (by his standards) "too big" for a birthday party...we just had a family night. I made him his requested dinner: asparagus, garlic mashed potatoes with chives, shrimp and flaky biscuits. This is what he wanted to eat. I believe he enjoyed it.</span></div>

After dinner, we went ahead and give him his present(s). Terry and I decided that since he is 12 now he would be able to get his own key to the house. As you can tell from the pictures, he was very excited about it. He feels very grown up now:)</div>

We really did have a nice day. As I write this (on Friday, January 20th) he is having a sleep over with one of his best friends, Sal. They were supposed to do it during the Christmas break but it didn't work out. They love being together and it is amazing how much these boys are alike. They have been friends since 5k and they are still friends. I thank God for Sal and the entire family. We have so much fun together!<br />

As I am downloading the pictures on my camera, I noticed that the Rogers' children and myself have been pretty creative over the past few weeks. A couple of weeks ago, the kids were out of school for some kind of holiday, and it was rainy and cold. So as you can imagine, the kids were bored. So Joel asked me if he could make a cheesecake we have been looking at for about a year now. So, since we had most of the ingredients, I told him he could. He had so much fun. And let me tell you, it tasted SO good. Who knows, he might follow his two cousin's footsteps and go to culinary school. He did an awesome job on the cheese cake and it tasted AWESOME!!!<br />

Then last week, Jesse had to decorate a paper "pumpkin" after a favorite character and/or book he had read the month before. It was not hard for him to come up with a character. He loves the Dr. Seuss books, so he picked The Cat In The Hat. Again, we (Jesse and I) had a lot of fun coming up with ideas and decorating the pumpkin. I think he did an awesome job:) I think he did a pretty good job.<br />

Then a few weeks ago, my friend Angie found this little craft project to do for the kids. I think they came out so cute. They are little jars that have been decoupaged with orange tissue paper and then we cut the vinyl and put it on top of the tissue paper and put another coat of decoupage glue over it. And when its done put a tea light in it and enjoy it. The kids love it!!!</div>

Yesterday, Josiah came home and begged me to play with play-dough. I have to say, I don't LIKE play-dough. Especially since we have carpet in our dining room. So, I told him he would be able to play with the play-dough in the mud room. Let me tell you, he thought that was an AWESOME idea. So Josiah and I went down stairs and we got him set up. He had so much fun. And I loved it!!! Because when he was done...all I had to do was grab the broom, and sweep up the play-dough and throw it away. </div>

If you know me well, you know that I don't sew. But now that my Riley is getting bigger and my sewing sister lives in Alabama...I figured it would be a great idea to maybe learn how to sew. So, a few years ago I got this sewing machine for free from a friend from church. And it has just been sitting on my shelf. So since Halloween is just around the corner, I thought it would be a great idea to make Riley her costume. So when I heard that my friend Rebecca was making two poodle skirts for her daughters, I wanted to make one for Riley. I went to Hobby Lobby and got me a pattern and fabric and all the other things I needed for the skirt. So Angie came over a few weeks ago and we sewed the skirt together. I have to say, it was so much fun. And I am very impressed with the outcome of the skirt. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I think it is so cute. I love the poodle. I am not totally done with the skirt yet. I am gluing pom-poms onto the poodle but I ran out. So I am going to have to get some more. As soon as it is ALL DONE, I will post the final product. But you get the idea. </div>

This was our 3rd year in a row to <a href="http://skytoporchard.com/">Sky Top Orchard.</a> This year our friends Mike and Angie Bianco went with us. Since Mike is moving to St. Louise in a few weeks and Angie and the kids will be here until the house sells, we thought it would be a fun trip to do together. We had so much fun, and so did the kids:)<br />
<br />
Our kids look forward to this trip every year because we pick apples and then I turn them into apple butter. I love making it for teacher gifts. Joel especially likes going so he can climb high into the trees and pick apples. <br />

I am so glad we got to this again this year. I have to say, I can't help but think of dad every time we go. The first year we went, he got diagnosed few days later. I bet he would have loved to come with us every year. I am glad our kids will have these memories though when they grow up. <br />
Mike and Angie, thanks for coming with us this year. I am glad we got to do this with our families. Its so great to see our kids get along so well. We love you guys, and we will miss you a lot. But look forward to see what God has in store for you guys.

Yes, we have another scout in our family. Jesse is so excited to be part of cub scouts this year. We went to the Scouting store the other day to get his uniform. He was so excited. Terry and him have been working on his work book and I know he is enjoying it. They other day I found him laying in his bed (during the day!!) <strike> looking at</strike> <span style="font-size: large;">READING </span><span style="font-size: small;">his handbook. He was working on memorizing his cub scout pledge and he did. I was SO proud of him. If you know Jesse well, you know that he does not enjoy reading on his own. He will look at pictures for hours but if you tell him to go read a book for fun...that's like pulling teeth for him. So when I saw him doing this, I was SO excited!!!! I have a feeling this boy is going to grow up A LOT this year!!!</span><br />

What did you say? We are missing one??? No, we are not. I am sad to say, Joel has decided to step down from scouts and go back to his first love-SPORTS!! I have to say, I was a bit sad when he stepped down because he really thought he would go all the way to Eagle scout. But Terry and I wanted to give him a choice and this is what he wants to do right now. Especially since next year, he owill be elligible to play football at school.</div>
