Paul at Cub Scout Camp

Nature time at cub scout camp was cool! Dr. Brown brought in his critters.

Paul liked the frogs.

And the snake...

But, the bunny got the most love. She was so sweet.

John Henry and the flower bed

Again, working on a merit badge, John Henry did a flower bed for another part of his family life merit badge. The whole crew shopped for flowers and bushes, mulch, and ground cover. It took us a loooooong time, but it was fun. Everyone picked their favorite color and I picked out the bushes.

So here is the before...

And here is the after...plus the boy scout!

Good job, son.

John Henry's Family Life project

Before..... Our bicycles are just a mess. The more folks who ride, the more of a mess the bikes make in our backyard.

John Henry measured and cut all the pieces.

He got a little help from his siblings!

LOOK!! So much neater and nicer looking! It makes me so happy! Great project, John Henry.

Blogging on an iPad!

I have been neglecting this blog for a long time, but I have an excuse, I got an iPad. I tried mightily and just could not figure out how to blog via this iPad. I gave up, but recently decided to try again with the app called Blogsy. So far, it is pretty easy, but I will just have to see long-term!

So much has happened with the kids since my last post.

The boys are now GREEN belts in karate!

John Henry has braces and broke his arm.

John Henry just returned home from AU football camp

Lizzy is enjoying her move up to the three year old Sunday School class! She is still putting on fashion shows daily, too.

Paul and Sam moved up to their next rank in cub scouting. Paul is a Webelos 1 and Sam is now a Wolf! I don't have pictures of this, but we attend cub scout camp next week and it will be well documented!

And in extended family news!
My nephew Turner graduated from high school and signed to play football at UNA!!!

I cannot remember everything, but I am just going to start now and go forth.
