Boys & Bikes!

Dear Journal~

There has always been a love of bikes at our house...and with empty building lots close by, it is the perfect setting for boys, bikes and jumps. Here is a jump the boys helped to build but then decided it was a little to large to be safe! Thank goodness for that underlining caution that has caught on due to numerous crashes. However, it didn't stop the boys good friend Nicholas Putnum from jumping over his brother Tyson!

Here's Bren showing me a couple of his riding skills...

This is Levi, with his primary friend Chaz Holbrook...


I'm so very grateful for you talenteted boys!

Scouts...

Dear Journal~

I'm grateful that my boys love scouts & have such amazing den leaders!


In March Brock and Brennan both did a great job in earning their Wolf and Webelos badges. I was so happy for Brennan with his wolf, but apparently he doesn't understand the system yet! He's suppose to wait until I take a picture of him before running back to his seat! Maybe next time!


Brock looks so handsome in his uniform and is one badge away from his Arrow of Light...the ready man and a troop hike is all that's left!

Way to go Boys!

Valentines Boxes!

Dear Journal~

Every year the boys and I get so excited about creating their Valentines Day Boxes! This year we thought we had all weekend to make boxes, and had a few cool paper mache things planned, but then Brock's 4th Grade class decided they wanted to do a service project & celebrate Valentines day on Friday instead of Monday.
HELLO...WRENCH! Thank goodness we had all those suckers made!


The service project was to make sandwiches for Dixie Care & Share which was really cool!

The kids had a great time making sandwiches and assembling the sack lunches.


Because of the short notice on making Brock's Valentines Box...Nana suggested this cleaver idea with a real basketball verses a paper mache one and amazingly it worked!

Here are a couple of other Boxes we thought were cool in Brock class!




Last but not least! Brennan and Brock are such awesome kids that when Brennan mentioned that he thought Brock's basketball was very cool, Brock offered to let him use it on Monday for his Valentines class party. Brock even helped change the name on the ball to Brennan! Brennan was so grateful... which I really appreciated! He could have easially complained that he wanted his own ball or something like that but as always he just smiles is happy and rolls with life as if everything is the best it can be!

I'm so grateful for such thoughtful boys!

I love you....Happy Valentines Day!
