Cub Scout Day Camp!!!!
This is the first time Brady has gone to cub scout day camp - I think he was sick last year - but the hubs went along with him and he LOVED it!!!! I mean, of course he does, what little boy doesn't love sling shots, guns, making boats, running around beating each other up with foam swords - I mean really - cub scouts is just heaven on earth for boys ;)
Brady's Boat!
I get to shoot this rock in a sling shot? SWEET!
Learning to fold the flag.....
Train cars - cool!
Knights of the round table? Let's roll!
Boys and their guns - I'll never understand the attraction ;)
Bows and Arrows are pretty cool too.....
Awwww - a great day!

Brady's 9th Birthday - Blast from the stone ages - DINOSAURS :)
better late than never right? I figure I will just kind of go backwards and post stuff til I am allllll caught up :) Sound like a plan???
Soooo - on to Brady's party :) Brady is in love with all things Dinosaur! Well - maybe I should clarify that - Brady love the Land Before Time series. You know the one, Little Foot, Sera, Duckie, Petrie, Spike - the band of eternally constantly getting into messes and then screaming as they run away little dinosaurs from the 90's.... Yup - those ones. It's just a bonus that we have so many episodes on VHS, and that they are so cheap on DVD - AND that they even made a TV show for a bit of those darling little dinosaurs (oh save my poor ears.....). But, I digress and ramble - sorry - bad habit of mine - it hasn't changed in all these months that I haven't updated my blog ;) Brady loves dinosaurs - so he chose to do a dinosaur party!!! Yayyyyy :) Lots of work - but lots of fun! Unfortunately he came down with the stomach flu the morning of said party - which we had anyway - although he was still feeling a little under the weather right up until cake time :)
Here you gooooooo.......
What's a dinosaur party without bones and a little excavation? In advance of the party we prepared a little archaelogical "dinosaur dig" :)
Welcome to a land before time :)
The finished dinosaur dig and kids in action - excavating their bones :) Oriental trading company actually does a pretty good dinosaur skeleton and this was a BIG hit :) Only one injury from the excavation tools....
Hot Lava Rock!!! - you know - kind of like hot potato :) Played to the song Do the Dinosaur ;)
Dinosaur Egg hunt :)
Dinosaur egg grab :)
Protect your dinosaur egg - this game was a hit - Little T here was a pro ;)
Presents are always a big hit - and spongebob ones? AMAZING!!!!
Ice Age Dawn of the Dinosaur cake - PERFECT!!!!!
Sooooo fun - dinosaurs, volcanoes, friends, food, games and fun :) What could be better???

How am I doing with my new years resolutions...
including writing on my blog - well - not so great- hey???
There is definitely room for improvement :) It's been kind of a rough year - and I haven't felt all that positive - hence - not very many blog posts.
But - hopefully things are on the up and up - and I will be posting more often and finally do a picture post catch up from the last year ;)
If anyone still reads LOLOL
Have a happy week!

Thank you for your prayers....
my amazing big brother, Brant, passed peacefully away on Tuesday September 6th. He fought valiantly to stay with us, the surgeons and doctors fought valiantly to save his life, but in the end, Heavenly Father called him home.
I have so many thoughts and emotions about it all. I can see so many tender mercies from the Lord in his life and our lives over the last year - things you don't really notice or see the Lord's hand in, until you start looking back and realizing how many things that you may not have thought were blessings, really were.
Brant endured several really difficult trials during his life - but he was always positive, always loved life, and always looked forward to the future. He was optimistic, he was fun, and he was always funny! Even though his last year was filled with pain and hardship after the accident last summer - he was always grateful and he loved that he had more time to spend with his family. He made the most of every single minute and showed his love and kindness to everyone around him. He was, without a doubt, an amazing man, an amazing, father, an amazing husband, an amazing son, and an amazing brother. His death leaves a big hole in our family - but we are comforted by knowing that we will see him again in the eternities - he was such a wonderful man - I know he's got it made :)
I love you Brant, and will miss you! Thanks for being the best big bro a girl could ever wish for :)
