Cub Scouts

Connor was introduced at the pack meeting this month. He has been a wolf for a couple of months but we had to miss pack meeting in November because of Parent Teacher Conference and they didn't have Pack Meeting in December. He was very excited. When a new scout comes in the parents/or scout leader (I'm not actually sure because I feel both roles) paint the boys face as an introduction. He also received his bobcat (he is pinning it on me in the picture) and a swimming belt loop. Connor is loving scouts. I am trying to get used to it again. It is a little more caotic than I remember.

Knee Surgery

I have had a very busy month. I have slacked on blogging. Chad had his knee surgery 3 1/2 weeks ago. Everything went very well. He wasn't allowed to walk on it at all for 1 week and then he was supposed to ease into walking without crutches--He got rid of them on the first day. He is getting better every day but it will be a couple of months before it heals.

Sugar Bowl Half Time Entertainment--in South Weber

The boys survived the 26 hour trip to New Orleans (and the 28 hour drive back). I thought Chad was insane to want to take a 6 year old and an 8 year old on such a long trip. I didn't even want to go because it was so far. Chad said the boys were great in the car. This morning I told Logan that I wanted to go to New Orleans now and asked if he wanted to drive with me. He actually got excited and said "yeah"! I couldn't believe it. I never thought they would want to get in the car again. The boys have now seen more of the country than I have. They had a fun filled day in New Orleans. After a polar bear swim in the unheated hotel pool, they walked around the French Quarter a little bit and then spent the rest of the day at the Super Dome. What a game! What a memorable experience!! Maybe this will become a tradition.
