End of Year Girl Scout Camping Trip

We spent the weekend camping at the GS camp....Camp Whispering Pines at the end of May. It was a family camping trip with our GS troop. Kaitlyn and Isabelle will be Juniors next year!! There were many activities planned....there were crafts, swimming, hiking, rock wall climbing and the bonfire on Sat night. We were all exhausted when it was time for bed....that we didnt even noticed we were being eaten alive by mosquitos. We sprayed before we went to bed...but I took off my socks...so my feet were horrible...Kase got hot..and took off his shirt...and rec'vd several...everyone else faired pretty good. Let's just say....there are some FAT mosquitos at that camp!!

RANDOM Pics

Just a few pictures from the last few months.....

Kase is in a 'love' triangle with Danielle and Abbie (the blonde)....when did he start liking girls? I thought he still thought they had cooties.....oh how they grow up fast!!

Katilyn with Isabelle (on left) and Lakin (right) at their cookie booth sale in Loranger....the girls as a whole troop sold enough cookies to earn the 'SUPER TROOP' award in cookies sales!! I am so proud of Kaitlyn's hard work this year in girl scouts!!

I took this at our last camping weekend with the cub scouts....these are too brothers too...Ethan and Nathan. Ethan is Coby's age...and nathan is only 4. The boys enjoyed catching fish!! It was the highlight of the day!!

Cub Scouts End of the Year Blue and Gold Banquet

The boys are finishing up all the scout stuff they have left to do. We are closely approaching to our last meeting until August! Their Blue and Gold banquet is wear they are awarded their patch for meeting all criteria needed to move up to the next level in scouts.

Coby bridged up to be a wolf.....Tigers are considered 'beginners' in cub scouts....

Here are the boys with all there awards, patches, and belt loops for completing requirements and "Doing Their Best"!!

Love this Pic

I took this picture right before the boys performed the flag ceremony for Mayfest! I am so proud of them and how much they have learned in cub scouts this year!!

Kase Turns 8

Kase had a great birthday....lots of presents and sugar....what every kid dreams of....LOL

He started his day with cupcakes for breakfast.....



then I brought cupcakes for his class....



then on Saturday we had his birthday party at the Children's Discovery Center. His theme was fishing. I had his cake made at a small supermarket here in Loranger.....I was really happy with the results.



I had blue table cloths as the water....and gold fish were 'swimming' around in 'gold fish' bowls on the tables...(the kids loved this)....they wouldn't stop eating them so we could cut the cake.









The kids (and adults) enjoyed 'buckets of bait' with their cake.....AKA...chocolate ice cream with oreos and gummy worms! At last we couldnt forget the 'life savers' in the water...just in case someone ate too much and needed to be rescued...LOL!





Once the cake was cut and presents were opened....









......each party guest took home a goodie bag full of wonderful suprises as a thank you for 'fishing around' with Kase on his special day!!!



Once the party ended...the kids went back to playing.....

Easter

Hello May

Ok...here we are in month 5 of 2011. I just don't know where the time goes! Lots of things to report for April.

Kaitlyn had a day camping trip with Keith. She canoed...which she didnt like....and went fishing, did arts and crafts, and climbed a rock wall...and finished up with some swimming in the pool.

The boys and I went to the Discovery Museum...and Kase has decided that is where he would like his birthday party to be.

We went with the girl scouts to the Marydale camp....and learned alot about horses...and the girls even got to ride one.

Kids week was April 18th thru 21st. The school had a petting zoo and sock hop...

and a carnival on Thursday......

Coby went on a field trip to an alligator and turtle farm.

The kids have been on Easter/Spring break from April 22nd till yesterday.....today was there first day back to class....only 3 weeks left till SUMMER VACATION...and they are counting down the days!!

We went on a camping trip this past weekend with a few of the boy scouts and their families. It was lots of fun....but really exhausting. The kids canoed, fished all day friday, and got to swim a little and slide on the water slide.
