The SUmMEr Project

I have finally finished my summer project, not that it took me that long but just getting to it and finishing it. I love this swing and got it for my birthday like 10 years ago, well with time it got a bit tattered and worn. I fond memories of sitting on the swing with my kids enjoying those summer nights. So all summer long all I wanted to do is sit on the swing and enjoy summer.



So here is the finished project and it has been nice to sit in the swing with Devin and Easton (Garett is too busy yet). I just wish my other kids would come home so I can sit and swing with them!

Discatta Devin

This year for Devin's birthday we cooked out on his discatta that he got from a friend at work. She lives in the Colonies and this is one way they prepare food. It was so yummie and colorful! What a party, Happy 29 Devin!

The Eagle had Landed!

Almost two years ago Hayden completed his Eagle project and now he is officially and Eagle. We finally held his court of honor and he is an Eagle Scout!

Ryley was the one who presented his Eagle to him!

Devin did the Eagle charge. He talked about how Hayden's scout experiences helped him the summer he worked in Alaska and how he had to save some peoples lives. Can you tell Devin is rowing the boat?

Hayden we are proud of you and your example to your younger brothers-sorry it took so long to finally get your Eagle presented to you!

(P.S. Hayden had his wisdom teeth pulled three days before, still a little swollen in the face but still so good looking!)

Happy Holidays

This year for the Holidays we were all able to get together after Christmas and it just happened to be Ashley's birthday!!! So we decided to go skating.( We tried to build an ice rink in the back yard like the good ole days but the weather was not cooperating.) We had a great time together!
