Earning his first badge!

Kode decided he wanted to join boy scouts a couple of weeks ago. So we got him all signed up and on his way. Well their first badge they are working on his their exercise badge. So the director asked if I would drop Kode off at the police department so that he could use their equipment and that is where he could earn his badge. He is not the only boy scout working on this badge so it was nice to know he wasn't going to be the only one there. Anyway he is really enjoying scouts.

 

 I just wish I could talk Bry into joining scouts. (he dosen't want to cause he would be in a different group then Kode. He would actually be a Cub Scout. When he turns 11 years old then he would move up to be a Boy Scout and then he would be in Kodes group. So we are all still working on him!

 Some of Shawn's family came and visited us for a few days this past week. It was great to have them down. Even though the boys had to go to school and I had to work we still had a great time with them. Thanks Peggy, Pam, Rachel, Jordan, Isaac, and Hannah for visiting us at our house. We loved having you!!

 

 

Kode started Basketball last week. So we all decided it would be lots of fun to go and see him practice.

Here are the kids just chillin' watching them practice.

 Kode just after practice finished up. He was one tired little man!

 

After practice was over we all went and had some ice cream to celebrate every ones birthdays!

 

Thats all of the pictures I took of everyone. Although I didn't get many photos we had a great time hanging out with family. Thanks for making the jont our way. We enjoyed having you!

bowling

 The boys were invited to a birthday party today at the bowling alley! They had a great time! They bowled, ate pizza, played around, ate cake and watched the neighbor girl open presents. It was a fun way to spend the afternoon!

 

pizza time!

 

 good stuff!

 

 Kode said he really likes to bowl. His score was 104!

Awesome Job Buddie!

 

 Bry said he enjoyed going to the party! He bowled an 85!

Way to go Bry

tryouts

 Kode decided he wanted to tryout for basket ball. (well every boy makes it on a team. they all have to try out infront of several coaches and then the coaches decide their skill level and then split the boys up on different teams. this way its fair for everyone) So the other night Kode and I went to his school for tryouts! He did everything that the coach asked of him and he did great!  We should find out in a few days which team he is on! We are excited to see him play!!

 

they split the boys up into 4 groups. they had several boys sign up. kode was in the first group for tryouts!

 

 here is a side view of him!

 

 going for a layup!

 

this picture made me laugh. He jumped as he threw the ball to his team mate!

 

Anyway we are all excited to hear what team he is going to be in!! Hopefully his coach will call us soon!!

(bry is to young to play on a city basket ball team. so he just gets to see kode and our neighbor friends play. hopefully next year he will be able to play!)
