February Happenings 2009

This is a picture we sent our parents and grandparents for Valentines Day. Rather than coordinate everyone's clothing, we just made the hearts and it was fun. So, Happy late-valentine's to everyone! Below is a picture of Will at his preschool Valentine Party. For the party craft we painted wooden frames, then took pictures of the kids and had them printed before class was over so the kids could take them home for their parents. We took individual pictures of the kids (with our signs from home) and put those in the frames. FUN!




This was just funny! I was about to make sandwiches for lunch and turned around to get something and before I knew it, Zach was up on the counter with a spoon eating the fluff and peanut butter and obviously loving it! I had to laugh.


We decided to keep Will in gymnastics and it has turned out to be the best thing! He continues to excel and he goes without his blanket or stuffed animal and even without ME! He has gained a confidence he didn't have before and he listens to his instructor and then does what he should. Just last week (Mar. 24) the instructor asked if Will could be part of their advanced class! How exciting! He's come a long way and we're so proud of him.


Here's Cami singing at the Activity Day Girls Program. Doesn't she look so grown up? She'll be turning 10 soon, and Young Women's is just around the corner. Yikes!


Here's Emma with her friends at the Activity Day Girls program, too. This was one of her first meetings as she just joined after she turned 8. She loves going and spending time with her church friends.

Here's Spencer getting his Arrow of Light award in scouting. He actually earned it before his 11th birthday, but for various reasons, the ceremony couldn't be held any sooner. Congratulations, Spencer, you (and I) have really worked hard on this! I'm just glad to have a breather from scouting...don't get me wrong...I found myself really liking being a scout leader towards the end, and I'll be ready to go again when Will and Zach get to be that age.
