Cub Mobiles

K's Cub Scout den made "Cub Mobiles" this year. They were a little scary for the parents, but the boys enjoyed them immensely. Our "Cub Mobile" is still hanging around the house. I keep hoping someone will dismantle it. No luck so far...






















Easter in Maryland

We spent Easter this year in the Maryland/Washington D.C. area. We so enjoyed spending time with Aunt Brooke, Uncle Simon, Uncle Don, Carter and Hollis. We somehow managed to do our traditional Easter activities and fit in some sightseeing. Our only regret is that we didn't have more time to explore. There's always next time!

Mighty's 4th Birthday

Mighty's real birthday was in the middle of the week so his birthday celebration seemed to last forever. We had a tiny family dinner with cake and gifts on his real birthday and a party for friends on Friday of that week.







When we arrived at school on Friday, we were greeted by many beautiful young ladies all wearing green. They quickly let us know that Mighty had told them to wear green for his birthday...his favorite color and a garbage man's dream.




We were very fortunate to have a recycling truck visit our party. All of the children were given an opportunity to "drive" the truck, and the birthday boy was able to work the hopper. The recycling center even sent him a model of our current recycling cans. Needless to say, Mighty was more than a little excited.






























Spring Art Show

We always enjoy attending J's art show. He is still very passionate about his artwork and is improving every week (if not every day). We owe a huge thank you to Mr. Joe for keeping J interested and allowing him to express himself through his art. His love of animals and nature is always evident. This year he chose a wolf painting for his entry.
