Fun Saturday!!!






We started our day at Shay's first cheerleading competition of the season. Her squad did a great job and was so cute. They are all 5 and younger. After awards Shay had a birthday party and Nathan had a flag football game. Thankfully we made it back across town in time for both activities. Shay loved her party. It was a princess theme and there is nothing more exciting than that in her world. Nathan's team did great and he scored his first and second touchdowns ever. He was so excited. We then headed over to visit a friend and do some crafts together. Both kids really enjoyed it and we not have a few fall decorations.
Saturdays are so fun and I feel so blessed to be able to enjoy all these activities as a family.

Boy Scout Family Trip


This past weekend we went on our first camp out of the year. Nathan's favorite activity is Boy Scouts. Last year we had a number of chances to camp out with his troop but we never stayed the night. Nathan and I had an agreement that if I bought a tent for our family he would try and spend the night out side. We got the tent and Nathan made it out side for the first time. He had many firsts over the weekend and I'm very proud of him.
We all had a great time. We were blessed with the perfect day for camping. During the night from 2:00 a.m. on I was freezing but the kids slept just fine. Shay and all the younger sisters slept in until 8:00 a.m. The boys were up and going around 6:00 a.m.
I think I've recovered. This is the first day I don't feel tired and worn out.
Feeling my age and lack of fitness all week.
I'm very thankful for all the leaders of our pack. They did a great job and all the kids enjoyed themselves.
