Cubscouts Blue and Gold Banquet

So, Dave and I were recently called to be the Cubmaster and Cubmaster Assistant for our ward. We had worked all week getting everything ready for the dinner on Thursday night. We were at the church and finally had everything almost ready to start when this happened...



Ty went head first in to the cabinent in the kitchen and split his forehead wide open. Blood was gushing out. Dave and I had to hand everything over and spend our first event for Cubscouts at the Emergency room.
I get the feeling this is what raising boys is all about. I can't believe how brave Ty was while he was getting his stitches and he made sure they gave him the sticker they had promised before we left.
Hopefully next month's pack meeting will go better!!!!

PrEsIDeNt'S DaY WeEkeNd!!!

President's Day Weekend most of us were sick so we decided to go camping in our Master Bedroom. Dave put up our tent, which is for six to eight people, and the boys slept in it all weekend long. It basically took up our entire bedroom, but the boys had a ball. Don't dads have the best ideas!

All The Boys!!!

I haven't posted in awhile, so I just thought I would put some random pictures of the boys and their friends up.

Isn't Ty the happiest kid ever???

Lunch Time!!!

Hopefully something worthy of a blog post will happen soon.

DeJaVu!!!

Kade turned 5 months on Sunday and I can't belive how fast it has gone by. I was looking through some pictures and I can't believe how much he looks like Jase. Here are some pictures I found of them close to the same age. I think Jase is a little bit older, but Kade is so big it is about the same.

Kade's first bite!!!!

Kade wasn't sleeping very well at night and was trying to grab any food I had in my hand, so we decided to try some rice cereal and see if that would help. He wasn't so sure about it the first couple of times, but now he really seems to like it. Here are his first bites we captured on camera.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! We had Star Wars heroes and villains and incredible hulk. I tried to talk Ty into being Luke and keeping the Star Wars theme, but he wouldn' t have it. We went over to the church ate chilli and did a trunk or treat. What a great idea that is. No more walking door to door and you get it all done in about an hour. Afterwards we went to our neighbors for more food and games. Dave shocked everyone with his tennis pro outfit. He was wearing my short shorts under his pants and he pulled off his pants with one tug and showed off those lovely Greenwood chicken legs. Sorry, I didn't get a picture of that. We have so much candy I am sure my kids are going to be bouncing off the walls for weeks, but hey that is the best part. Candy!!! I hope all of you had a wonderful Halloween and I am sorry we missed all of the fam this year and all of the little ones costumes.

Bitter, Sweet

Well today my little boys got a little bigger. Jase had his first day of kindergarten and Ty had his first day of preschool. The morning started off okay and we seemed to have plenty of time to get ready. But getting us all dressed, fed, and the baby fed took a lot longer than I had anticipated. The boys wanted to wear their new shoes and I hadn't planned on that. I thought I could talk them into their crocs for a couple more days, but nope they wanted their new ones that require socks and tying them. I looked over at the clock and we had to make it to the bus stop in 3 minutes. We ran out the door and half way down the street I had to pick up Ty because he was slowing us down. So here I am pushing the stroller and holding Ty and I have Jase at my side running as fast as he can. Just in time for the bus to pull up and get on it. After Jase got on the bus and was pulling away, I thought I hope he remembers where to go. This feeling of worry went through my body as I realized all of the things I had forgotten to tell him. All of the sudden my little boy was off to school and I would not be their by side to make sure he was okay. It was an awful feeling. No time to waste though, I had to get Ty to preschool. I always thought that Ty going to preschool would be a challenge and I would have to stay there with him of awhile. Buy my little Ty has grown up. He walked right in and showed his new teacher his school shoes and said "good bye, mom." I couldn't believe it. I went back to car with the baby and realized I have over two hours with just me and him. What was I going to do with myself. Sleep sounds good. Anyways, I picked up the boys at the bus stop from school and they had a blast. I can't believe how fast they have grown up! This is the beginning of a new era for us and I have to stay it is a lot harder then I thougt it would be. I wish I could keep them in a little bubble and keep them this big forever, but I can't. I love my boys and it has been so much fun watching them experience life. I can't wait to see what comes next.
