Jacob's Baptism

It was a wonderful. day. We're so mindful and grateful to all those who attended and lent their support to Jacob on this special day.

To UT & IN With Love

As Oscar and I were cleaning his room today he said,

"I'm so glad you and Dad are my parents because that way I have such fun grandmas."

I'm glad we are able to afford him such greatness.

100,000

Honda turned its 6th digit September 2nd. There was a glitch in the camera...Honda's really not going 40 mph at the time of the picture. It's been a fun ride, Honda...here's to many more!!

James Bond Jaws & Sith Lord

Dan and I went to a friend's welcome home party from Afghanistan. We all dressed up like evil rulers of the world. Pardon the illusion of Darth's breasts being in his lap. I pinned my son's costume on and it...well...you see.

Chasing 'em down!

#1 is halfway through his first basketball season. Despite being the youngest member of his team (he has some 4th graders on the team), he does very well and really enjoys it. Here he is chasing down the opponent.

Oscar the Grouch & Friend

We recently received new garbage cans from the city. The boys found them fun to hide out in. Because they are still clean, we didn't object.

Bobcat

We went to the the first of many, many pack meetings on Tuesday evening. Jacob earned his Bobcat. The Wolf Den was asked to post and retire the colors. Jacob was the Color Guard for the American Flag. He did great! I, on the other hand, didn't know they were supposed to cross and had the kids post the flags on the wrong sides. Honest mistake. Back to the sewing machine to get that patch on. Mom's tip of using invisible thread worked like a champ, though the thread is kind of pricey. Actually, Mom did give credit to Mary B.
