Our Big Cub Scout and Outdoorsman!!

Zach has been looking forward to the first Cub Scout Camping trip of his young scouting carreer. Dad flew into town at 2, packed and left the house about 5.

Seth and Eli were excited to have Zach out of the house and even came with us to make sure he was going to be gone for a little while!!



During marshmellow cooking, Zach comes up to me and asked me to hold his marshmellow cooker...then proceeds to hand me his FIRST lost tooth! He was very excited when everyone (all the adults) gave him kudos for pulling his first tooth on his own. They said the tooth fairy would get lost with 1400 pillows to look under...but Zach wanted to lock it up so he could take it home and put it in a jar.




Here is Zach and his Tiger Cub...and the leader Mr. Chad!




A "little" Grasshopper captured the attention of the rambunctious kids very quickly...and for probably 10 minutes!!





The boys got to learn about a TON of different aspects of the Civil War Era, but while Zach had a good time with most of them, the ammputation was a little much for the little guy!




Zach and daddy at the last stop (the CALVARY) prior to lunch...he was worn out, and we skipped all of the afternoon stops...except for BB guns!











He was a Crackshot!





Zach's favorite part of the reenactment (in spite of the LOUD shots...) was the cannon.



After coming home a day early, I promised to take him fishing in our own pond...so here we go!




After Seth and Eli went home with Mommy...we got a little lucky. Not sure what the big fish was, but then Zach pulled in a nice little bass. Both of them went back in the pond to be caught another day!!

Almost 3 months...

I know that I have said this before, and certainly I will be saying it over and over again...Wow time flies! It's hard to believe that this little sweetheart is 3 months old. I took this picture in a small town in Arkansas! She is quite the traveler at such a young age...however Eli has surpassed her record with his international travel at just 7 weeks!



10 pounds 3 ounces...30 inches long...she is growing. The doctor was impressed with her alertness and with her ability to control and hold her head up (she probably tells everyone the same thing). This little girl has 3 big brothers to keep up with...so she has to be strong! We are so thankful that the Lord has blessed us with her!

Baby Dedication

After two weeks on the road with Justin, we are home! I have so many little things I hope to be posting in the next couple of weeks, but I really wanted to start with this. We were blessed to be able to visit our church in Colorado Springs, and even more blessed to have Paige dedicated in front of some very dear friends!



This is the first time I have posted a video on the blog...hopefully Grandma's and Grandpa's will be able to enjoy it!
