Webelos!

We had a Pack meeting last night. I am a Wolf Den leader so I had to be in uniform. The theme for the night was dinosaurs. We had a great talk by Bishop Pace who collects fossils.

Aaron received his Religous square knot, Compass Points Emblem, 1 compass point, Artist badge, Citizen badge, Communicator badge, Geologist badge, Showman badge and Fitness Badge.. He is trying to beat his friend Tanner at having the most. Aaron also received his Webelos badge. So I had to go up and get the mothers pin.

The Hawks

We got Aaron's basketball photos on Sat. Let's see if I know everybody on his team.

Aaron is connected

Aaron's cell phone came today. Jaime ordered it the other day when he got Aaron twice while trying to reach me. Aaron went to the park with Pam and a friend from school. When he does this I always give him my phone so I can check on him. Aaron has borrowed my phone a lot lately so Jaime and I decided it was time to get him his own phone. Now I pray that he doesn't break it, lose it or run up the minutes on it. I am sure he will do just fine but a mom worries about these things.

Basketball catch up

Aaron's team has been working really hard. Unfortunately, they have yet to win a game. The boys try but they have a hard time working as a team.


I give Anthony our camera during the games to keep him busy. He takes some interesting pictures.

Anthony found Dad.

Anthony took a few pictures of the water bottle.

I think he was comparing my shoes to his.

It was fun going through the 100 or so pictures he took. Some were blurry. Some were cute. But all of them tell me exactly what goes on in his head during a basketball game.

12 years...

and 4 kids later. That's right. Jaime and I have been married for 12 years. We joke around and say "12 looooong years". Really though, it doesn't seem possible that it has been that long.


Every year on our anniversary Jaime brings me flowers. One rose for each year and a carnation for each kid. This year there were 3 white carnations and 1 pink one.




We never make a big deal out of it but we do get each other small gifts. I gave him a "Office Space" gift set. He loves that movie. And Jaime gave me the movie Edward Scissorhands. A little known fact, I love Johnny Depp. You can all laugh now. It's OK, I don't mind.

Band

I have been trying to upload the video from Aaron's band concert, but it seems to hate me. I will try to get it up here somehow.

The kids did a great job.

The kid got big

James had an appointment with the funny Dr. Macon. He was having some congestion problems. I was up all night with him in the recliner. Every time I laid him down he would cough and gag. The doctor told me that he seemed fine except for the cold. I was told to use a cold air humidifier and call back if I needed.

James weighed in at 10 lb 6 oz. He doesn't seem that big to me.

The other day the kids helped give James his first "tub" bath. Aaron took pictures. I have no idea why the photos are red.

James did not like it.Click on the pictures to see more.

The New Year

I took Anthony and James to the mall yesterday. Anthony needed a little run around time. Anthony loves the mall play area. He needed to run, climb and get some energy out. It has been cold and wet here so he has been stuck in the house a lot.

We had a great New Years. We went to a party with the kids and had a blast. Other than that we have all been trying to get well.
