September Pack Meeting

Tonight at Pack Meeting, the Wolves were in charge of the flag ceremony. This was Brody's first time doing this and he did great.

The theme was cooperation. The boys did some fun activities where they had to cooperate. Brody and Mason had fun trying to keep the balloon in the air.

Jonah, Wyatt, Mason, Brody, Kamden and Parker.

Only

I don't know what it is, but Ledger and I seem to be having some of our best conversations in the car. Yesterday on the way to pre-K our conversation went like this:

L. "Mom...do you spell "arrow," O-N-L-Y?"

M. "What?" (thinking to myself...what are you talking about?) "Nooooo."

L. "How do you spell arrow then Mom?"

M. I start looking around wondering what he is talking about. Low and behold I see this sign.

After I explain to him what that street sign means, he starts in with a spelling quiz.

L. "How do you spell tree?"

M. "T-R-E-E"

L. "How do you spell Window?"

M. "W-I-N-D-O-W"

L. "How do you spell Purse?"

M. "P-U-R-S-E"

This went on and on. Anything he could see he wanted me to spell. An then...

L. "How do you spell air?"

M. "A-I-R"

L. How do you spell Heaven?"

M. "H-E-A-V-E-N"

This kid is a thinker.

Fear The Fork!

Jeremy and I had the opportunity to take Brody and Case (sorry you couldn't behave today Ledger) to the ASU football game tonight. We ate dinner at El Charro and then met Kunkle and Presley at the stadium for a night of fun. I love going to the games with the kids. They get so excited seeing it all happen live. Since we have the best seats in the house, the whole night it pure excitement. So I have a question for you. Would putting large vinyl "forks" on both sides of my car be considered a mid life crises? I seriously think my husbands having one. I about died when I saw these things on my car. Jeremy thinks they are, "sooo cool" however they weren't cool enough to put on his truck! I can't even tell you how many people have flagged me down, hanging out their windows showing the "Devils" sign. My boys and I are constantly laughing at the ASU crazies! Apparently forks on the side of you car ARE waaay cool because someone stole one off my car the other day at the grocery store. Way cool or U of A fan? You decide!

Yep that's us. 50 yard line, second tier up, second row. These seats are AWESOME!!

Presley and Kunkle. Go Devils!

Case and Presley.

Poor Case had some dental work done and his little mouth got so swollen and sore. He had a canker sore on his bottom lip about the size of Texas. I should talk to my dentist about that:)!

As long as Brody has a Root Beer...life is good!

Learning so much in Pre-K

Ledger has been working so hard on learning to write his name.

Unfortunately he forgot the rule about only writing on paper.

Funny thing about the picture above...he wrote on his right hand...HE'S RIGHT HANDED!

Willis Farm

While at the cabin for fall break, I had the opportunity to take the kids to Willis Farm in Snowflake, to find the perfect Halloween pumpkins. It is such a fun experience picking your pumpkin off the vine rather then from a cardboard box on the corner of Power and University. We walked up and down each row of pumpkins searching for just the right pumpkin. Brody wanted the biggest pumpkin in the field. Case was looking for the most unique. Ledger just struggled with the fact that one side of the pumpkin was dirty from growing on it's side in the field. Therefore, finding the perfect pumpkin was impossible. Miss B. was more interested in pushing the wagon then looking for a pumpkin. When it was all said and done, we left Willis Farm with 4 of the most awesome pumpkins you've ever seen. Can't wait to see what we end up doing with them for Halloween. Hope this record heat doesn't ruin them before the big day.

Miss B. had a ball pulling the wagon around the farm.

This was the highlight of the trip.

Thank goodness Sugar was able to find a pumpkin that wasn't dirty for Ledger.

Yep Brody...I think that's big enough.

Love these little Pumpkins!

Oh so fun!

The pumpkins at Willis Farm were all so perfect. It was hard to choose which we wanted. Is it weird that I felt a little guilty picking up and pumpkin and then putting it back because it had an imperfection? I felt so bad.

My cute little 6 year old pumpkin.

Thanks for going to Willis Farm with us!
