Scout Camp

I just had to post this photo of my BIG nine year old boy going to his very first Cub Scout Day Camp (lunch in right hand & money in left hand)! (Man, do I feel old?) He was such a trooper this morning, having to wake up at 6:00 AM and all...but I am sure he is having a blast and I can't wait until he gets back!

Just one of the boys!

Lately, Rachel has been noticing just how COOL her big brothers really are. She has been dressing up in their clothes and doing some of the manly things they do!

A couple of weeks ago, when it was pouring rain outside, the boys decided that they wanted to go out and jump into some water puddles. It occurred to me that I didn't know where Rachel was, so I went searching the house for my sneaky little girl. I happened to be in her room and looked out the window and much to my surprise was THREE little kids...all in *BOYS* swim shorts, no shirts....jumping in the puddles. Yes...two of them were Brock & Kory...and the third was Rachel! I couldn't help but giggle...after all she did look really cute, playing with her brothers! Here are some pictures that day, after they had jumped in the puddles (unfortunately I didn't get pictures of that because once I had my camera...they moved onto something else! Darn!). They had a GREAT time that day just playing in the rain, jumping in puddles and making water balloons! (Note: I made Rachel put her shirt back on for the photos!)

After playing outside, the kids were cold and so they changed into some warm clothes...this is what they all picked out for Rachel to wear! CUTE!

I am so glad that Rachel looks up to her older brothers and even more grateful that deep down inside she is STILL my little princess!

Happy Birthday Brock!

Today is Brock's #9 Birthday....WOW! (Does that make me old? sheesh!) Brock is definitely the MOST energetic kid I have EVER seen, but also the most tender one too! I love this little guy with all my heart and am grateful for the awesome little guy he is turning in to!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KORY!

We had such a great day today! We had a Birthday Party for BOTH Brock & Kory and had about 25 kids over to our home! It was so AMAZING that everything worked out so perfect! The weather was so WONDERFUL during the party and didn't begin to storm until after we had cleaned everything up!!!! Can you say...WOW???!!!

I cannot believe how time flies!!! My two little guys are getting so big and just growing up! I am so proud to be their Mom and just love them to PIECES!
