Fire Station Open House

Tonight was the annual fire station open house.
The kids love it!
They got to climb around in this fire engine.
They got to check out a helicopter.
They each got to put out this fire with an extinguisher.

And Samantha and the boys got to use a real fire hose.


Samantha got to put on fire fighter gear in a race.
All this and Balloons and cookies and their picture with Sparky the Dog.
The best part.....it was all free!







Mohawks!!

I came home from my pack meeting Tuesday to find my
sweet little boys with new hair cuts.






I was surprised and a little sad at how grown up they looked.
They wanted to keep them to show their friends at school but in the end
Dale shaved them off that night.

Puppies Gone Wild

The puppies got to go outside for a few hours while I cleaned their pen. Most of their time was spent snuggled together on a blanket and sleeping but here are some pics of them wondering around in the dirt. They are starting to walk really well, not so wobbly!


This is Little Man. He's the oldest and the closest thing to a runt we have.


This is Spot (AKA Dot JR.) He's the #2 pup. He has the dot like Dot.











This is One Eyed Wendy. She's #3. She's giving her sister a run for her money in the size dept.











And last but not least is Fatty. She's the youngest and the biggest, thus the name. She's the only one with a long tail. It's so cute with a white tip. We are thinking about keeping her.

And the winner is.......

Tonight was our ward party.
The kids wanted to make some ice cream for the ice cream contest.
We tried a new recipe and I wasn't sure how people would like it but we won 3rd place.
Above is Patrick with the new ice cream machine we won.
This is our Key Lime ice cream.

The boy's 1st day of school

Today was the boy's first day of school. O.K. so it's only pre-school but this is still a very exciting day!!!!!
Mr. Patrick has a winning smile.




Here's Mr. Colin looking sharp for the big day.
They are such big boys with their backpacks. They go to school twice a week and even get homework sometimes. What happened to my little boys?
