February is upon us...

Besides all our crazy snow & everyone being in & out of sickness... we had a fun week - weekend here is a re-cap:

We had Tyler's School carnival where the kids loved playing the D.D.R. Here are a couple video's below of Madi & Brady - then Garrett & Tyler. (After watching Madison & Brady.. you have to know that they actually "cleared" the game!)


Garrett had a Court of Honor for Boy Scouts & earned a rank Advancement & also earned the "Scout of the Court" award where he had the most points from wearing all parts of his uniform, completing the most merit badges, going to the most activities, & doing everything else possible to get it. (They earn a special pocket knife & he has coveted this award for almost a year I think!) We were very proud of him!! Here he is getting the "Smarties" award with 2 of his best friends in a activity where the 3 of them together knew all the scout oath, scout law, outdoor code, motto, etc... (They are the 3 musketeers - one does something you can probably find the other 2 right behind! Which in their case is always a good thing!! Very smart boys always looking to do good things!)

Last night I think we had to make out about 300 Valentine's cards? (Ugh) O.k. so that is an exaggeration...but, I have never really cared much for making Valentine cards in mass quantities... so we trudged along. Here is what Tyler enjoyed most - he wanted to create a "NEW VALENTINE BOX" ... he found boxes, all the supplies & went to work. He was bound & determined to make a big House that has a secret drop in the roof for his Valentines! (I hope it made it to school ok today!)

Happy Valentine's Day this week everyone!!
