The end of a chapter.

Bryan (and some of his friends) has hit some huge milestones lately. This month he had his last Den Meeting ever. The Weebelo II's decided that their last meeting should be laid back with plenty of time to visit. They had pizza and cupcakes and other wonderfully non-nutritious yummies. It was also nice for us parents to chat.

Arrow of Light:

The Arrow of Light Ceremony was wonderful. The boys worked hard to earn the highest honor in Cub Scouting. The gentleman who performed the ceremony for our den did an excellent job. He was animated and seemed to truly love the goals of scouting. He made Bryan WANT to continue on in Boy Scouts. The arrows we presented to the boys were made by a Tatanka Indian. They were very authentic looking. The boys were also presented with display racks made by the Weebelo I’s. We are very proud of Bryan accomplishments and we were super excited that Grammy, Papi, Grandpa and Uncle Brett were able to be there at the ceremony with us.





Bridging Ceremony – a.k.a. Last Pack Meeting

Den 7’s Bridging Ceremony took place at our last Pack Meeting. Have I ever mentioned that we have an AMAZING pack? Great leaders, great parents, great kids! One of the other mothers, Penny, put together a great slide show with photos of the boys all the way from the beginning as Tiger Cubs to the present as Weebelo II’s. We presented Jeremy with a plaque because we wanted him to know what a great Pack Master he has been. Seriously, he works really hard to make this Pack a success! We gave Laura an album with letters from all of Den 7’s families. She has the patience of a saint – who knew that boys could scream so much and so loudly??? Then Boy Scout Troop 751 did the honors of meeting the boys on the other side of the bridge and welcomed them officially to Boys Scouts. They already have their first meeting this week!!

Our fabulous Den Leader.

He's a Boy Scout now! My wish for him is that he enjoys it, learns from it and takes it all the way to Eagle.

Next year's rookies...

Snow Flakes in TX

Image
We woke up this morning to fluffy, white snow everywhere. The biggest snowflakes I've ever seen were falling from the heavens. It is just beautiful out there. Have I ever mentioned how much I love my house?? This shot totally cracks me up - Joshua on the receiving end of a massive snow ball from his big brother!! Joshua stuffing what's left of our broken flag pole... Just playing it cool until he could sneak up behind Bryan with that snowball. Not entirely sure, but I think he was taste testing that snow... Such a great smile - love it! Pretty sure he is up to no good. LOL ! Ahhh - the grassy snow man that just wouldn't stop falling apart. He was focused though... DEFINITELY up to no good! Check out all of that snow falling! Snow angel made by my #1 angel. Another gorgeous smile! I just like this photo because of all the snow falling around them. I think they both ended up with snow down their front collars on this one. It was a lot of fun watching them play in th

First Day of 1st Grade

Image
Bryan has been in school for 3 weeks now. He is having a great time in first grade and doing pretty well. He is loving the fact that he is a "veteran" student and knows his way around and what is expected of him. First Grade comes with a LOT of homework and tests and we've all come to realize that it is going to require a lot more effort on all of our parts to keep him ahead of the pack. They have mixed up what were the two Kinder. classes, so some of his friends are in his class and some are from the other K class from last year. It's great since he will get to know a lot more kids in his year.

Blogging for Scrapbookers

Image
I'm taking my first online class from http://www.shimelle.com/ . Although, I've been blogging since the end of 2006, I think there is definite room for improvement. I'm not the most consistent person in the world (and boy, do I wish that was the case) and I'm not the most articulate either... There are a few things I hope to get out of this class: Some tips and tricks on blog design (I have already benefited in this department) Some friendly reminders pertaining to writing techniques I would love for this to help me develop some habits - like maybe posting more frequently I want to develop my blog into, not only a place to keep family and friends up to date, but a place I can go back to in order to jog my not-so-spectacular-memory. I love to scrapbook, but I find myself forgetting the details so often. It would help to be able to come back here and say "oh ya, that's what I wanted to remember about Christmas morning 3 years ago". Cause let's face it, I
