On his way to Eagle

This handsome boy loves scouts! We are lucky because my dad is scout master in his ward so this summer went to Camp Geronimo with my dad and his troop on June 18-23 then had Sunday to rest get all his stuff cleaned up and then he left Monday morning at 4am for camp Raymond with his scout troop in our ward. He earned tons of merit badges and had a blast! A couple of nights ago he had his court of honor and advanced to a star. I'm so proud of all the hard work he has done so far to earn this. One of the merit badges he earned was cycling. This is not an easy one to get & one of the requirements is a 50 mile bike ride. He did it and when he came home I asked so how was it? Cody said hard and I'm happy because now I know I can do hard things. And, also I will never have to do that again:) I love this boy he makes my heart dance! Thanks to Mike, my dad and Cody's leaders for loving Cody and helping him achieve his goals. We are blessed!!

Double Stuffed

Cody had his first pinewood derby for boy scouts. He had a blast! Mike and him worked very hard and Cody did almost all the work himself. He drew out how he wanted his to look. He was very concerned about how it looked & he was very happy with it in the end. He named his car double stuffed & he placed 1st in his pack. Which wasn't to hard since it's him and one other boy but, he was thrilled and had no idea! Thanks Mom and Pam for coming and supporting Cody!

A long & fun day!

Paige has been out of town since Monday and my mom has been watching her kiddos. Yesterday we had a little party with all the cousins for Tatum's birthday! Today I gave my mom a break and had her drop them off at my house for some fun! We played a lot! Lots of silly games, dress up, bubbles & even outside. Just wondering if it's ever going to cool off here!!! So after a lot of fun I needed a break. I put on a movie and we had quite time and this is what happened. I thought that was such a cute picture. All the kiddos that usually take naps were out in about 20 minutes! When Cody & Kelsey got home I had 9 kiddos at my house. It was fun and Cody & Kelsey are such great helpers they really love playing with the little kids. I tell them all the time what great babysitters they will make.




I have really been loving my new calling as Cody's wolf leader. Tonight we were in charge of the skit at pack meeting and I was very impressed with our boys acting abilities. I never took a picture I think I was laughing too hard. It was a fun night!
