First Day of School

Each year as the first day of school rolls around, our house is visited by a Tazmanian Devil. For 2-3 days this peculiar creature drinks our coffee until the wee hours of the morning and tears up our school room. All of the books are deshelved, supplies are scattered, old pet habitats are turned over and a general chaos ensues. This year, Brandon actually stayed up trying to catch a glimpse of this creature and determined that once he saw this room, he might not want to hang around or he might get blamed for the mess.

Carson turns 6 - Casey turns 4!

We had several birthdays at our house this past weekend. Carson turned 6 and Casey turned 4. Aunt Katherine also had a birthday along with Casey, but we won't discuss her age!

Spelunking

Cameron and I went to Cumberland Caverns with the cub scouts. We walked, scooted, slid and squeezed through some tight spots in the cave, but had a great time and even slept overnight in the cave.

Pinewood Derby

Today we had our annual Pack 455 Pinewood Derby Race. 87 race cars were entered at a great time was had by all. Cameron and Carson both placed 3rd in their divisions and Connor placed 4th.

Cameron will advance on to the district races in a few weeks.

Ski Trip 2011

Carson's first ski trip in January 2011. We went back to Paoli In for a ew days of skiing and the indoor water park at French Lick. A little rain, a little snow and a whole lot of fun!

The six of us went camping with Cavette, Megan and Wyatt at Joe Wheeler State Park in Florence on September 17-19. Once of our favorite past times was playing The Settlers of Catan. Cavette won most of the games...because he is "almost perfect!"

Couting Eggs Before They hATCHED

1...2...3...6...7...8...10...11...12

We had our first day of a dozen eggs! That means each chicken laid an egg. Woohoo! One thing can be said, our chickens have helped makes some really good omlets!

Summer Swimming

We have missed having a pool at the new house, but Uncle Derek and aunt Katherine have been very gracious in allowing us to swim in theirs. We have enjoyed watching the kids learn how to dive and even Casey has been jumping off the diving board. These youngsters swim like fish!

Camping October 2009

The Coopers, Culwell and Robinsons and Bells went camping to Fall Creek Falls for Will's Birthday. We hiked in the rain, sang songs, ate and enjoyed a very nice weekend together.

It has been a long time since my last post. We have moved and been working on our new house in Eads. The kids love the room and we don't mind the drive.
