Singing and Scouts

September brought us the first PTA performance of the school year. Joshua took part in it and it was quite entertaining. He’s not all that shy once he gets into it. Of course along with school performances comes the frustration of the people who feel the need to not have any sort of common courtesy *thank you dude in the front row who still felt the need to hold his camera up above his head while weaving back in forth, blocking 75% of the photos I took in the process*. Oh well, everyone wants shots of their cuter-than-every-other-kid 1st grader…



Bryan and Brandon also went camping with scouts again. I love that they go together every single time and I love that I get some one on one time with Shorty on those camping weekends. This was a fishing campout. Bryan likes to fish and he did bait his own hook and he learned how to gut a fish. YAY! I say YAY! Because anyone who really, really knows Bryan knows that a) he doesn’t like to be dirty and b) he is a complete animal lover and this was really hard for him. He did come home and say that he was never going to “torture” an animal like that again. LOL! After asking him what he thought he was eating when he had a burger or chicken strips, he told me that he was completely aware that he was eating animals and he was OK with it, but preferred that his food come pre-packaged. He didn’t need to see how it got there. Hehe! Boy after my own heart.

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...
