Shelby's

This is Shelby's presidential report on Calvin Coolidge. I thought she did really great. This was my first time to post a video so I hope it turns out. Of course today, when I did not have my camera, Shelby did chapel and she recited all the presidents! She stood in front of the mic with two other kids but she was right in front of it so she was the only one you heard. She did great! She got all the presidents right. I was so proud of her!

Shelby's first Karate tournament

Shelby had her very first karate tournament today. As you can see she won. She was very proud of herself as was I. I was trying something different in placing the pictures so they are not in order. The picture at the bottom is before she went and these two are after she got back home. Of course I made her put her jacket back on so I could get her picture with her medal. Aww Mom!!

Tyler's thumb injury




I know these are gross, but just to give you an idea of what we dealt with this week. We still don't know what he did to it, but it is MUCH BETTER NOW!! We are still on antibiotics but doing so much better.

Western Day


This isn't the best picture, but here we are at school for western day!

This was Tyler's first jog a thon! I thought he did great!


Jog A Thon

Every year our school has a jog a thon to raise money for the school Shelby was the fastest runner in her class!










USS Lexington Pt. 3


Tyler sitting in something - I don't know what it is but it must be pretty interesting!



A view of the ship from the outside

These men were actually sailors on the ship

Steve taking a picture of Tyler sitting in the barber chair - Tyler looks so thrilled!

Hey, I'm ready!

USS Lexington Pt. 2



It is really windy out there!!


These are the showers that the sailors used. None of the scouts took showers while they were there.


These are the beds they slept on. I hear they are as small as they look!

USS Lexington Pt. 1


These are some pictures of Tyler's cub scout trip to the USS Lexington.

I don't know why this is underlined to bear with me - I just picked some random pictures and don't really know the story behind them, just thought you would enjoy seeing them!


I think they are looking at the ocean

So excited to be here - he is with his best friend, Eric

Pinewood Derby


Tyler's Cub Scout troop recently had their annual Pinewood Derby

This is Tyler's car. The story behind the car is Taylor was going to enter it in the cub buddy's. But, Tyler had lost his car (imagine that!) so she have him her car. Believe me, it was a rare moment of sisterly/brotherly love!



This is Tyler getting his ribbon. He got third place in design. He did on one of the races get in third place and got to move onto the next round!




This is Tyler with his den after getting their awards.
