Daniel's Birthday!!!

Daniel turned 5 today!!! Happy Birthday Daniel!!!

Big Sis

Alaura is the big sister in the family, and she certainly lives up to it. The other day, on her own initiative she approached Karah and I about wanting to help her brothers and sistes clean their rooms. She talked it over with them and decided that the older kids should combine bedrooms with the younger kids to help train them to clean their rooms. I know this was a big sacrifice for Alaura, but she wanted to do it because she saw a need. So we spent Monday evening, reshuffling all the bedrooms and I must say I think Alaura was inspired.

Alaura is a great leader for all her brothers and sisters and really helps create some fun family times together for everyone.

Hunter earned his arrow of Light today!!!

Hunter earned the most prestigious badge in cub scouting tonight, the Arrow of Light. This is the one badge that he can wear on his Boy Scout uniform and throughout his life. The Arrow of Light also has an age cap of 11 years old after which boys cannot earn it any longer. Hunter earned his Arrow of Light 5 months early, enabling him to start focusing on Boy Scouts early and preparing for all the campouts, survival excercises, and high adventure activities. Way to go Hunter!!!

Little Angel

I woke up at 5:30AM to get ready for work and make a lunch and when I opened the refrigerator, this is what I saw...a nice big brown sack lunch that was thoughtfully prepared and even had my name on it. Thanks Rhiannon!!!
