Braxton's Arrow of Light

Last night, Braxton received his arrow of light at pack meeting. It was a fun pack meeting, with a pirate theme. Each of the boys received an award, but the night really belonged to Braxton. The pack leaders are awesome at really making these special awards ceremonies. Braxton was really great, too. Don't you love Kaydon's painted-on mustache?!

Saturday Morning Service

Saturday morning, we got up early to go clean the church. It goes so fast with the boys. They are hard little workers and they each do their job super good, and super quick. We were done in less than an hour! Even little Colton went with us. Thursday afternoon, Colton came down with hives on top of hives, caused by a virus. Talk about misery! Poor little kid! He was a trooper! He cleaned the entire gym floor by himself. It's good to have lots of big helpers!

Chiropractor C.H.A.O.S.

So, my brother is a Chiropractor, and a VERY good one. I am supposed to go see him every two weeks. Whoops a daisy! Probably haven't seen him in six months. I took the quorum with me on Monday because we all had the day off. The boys are loud. FYI. LOUD. They yell, scream like girls and laugh out loud while they are being adjusted. It frightens other patients. My poor brother! The good part is that we all leave there feeling SO much better. No more headaches for the big boys. No more shoulder and back pain for the small boys. All of the above for the Mama.

February Service Project

For our February service project, Kaydon asked if we could do something for Grandma Jayne. Jayne is their dad's mom. The boys have not seen her in several years. We decided to make several meal bags for her so that she can just warm items and eat. We prepared spaghetti, tacos, clam chowder with crackers, and sandwiches. She wasn't there when we dropped it off, so we left a note with it. We hope that it is helpful for her and that she feels loved!

Birthday Celebration

We went to Red Lobster to celebrate Josh's mom's birthday. Red Lobster was the place. LeAnne, Lance, Grandma, Marlys, Josh and I and the boys, along with Uncle Colton were all there. Besides Colton throwing up, it went great! :)

Kaydon's Pagen Ribbon

So, last Sunday, Braxton won the ribbon. This Sunday, Kaydon won the ribbon. I am SO proud of these boys of mine! Kaydon was recognized for what he did at the Monster Truck Jam, actually. There was a boy with Down's Syndrome sitting in front of us. My boys have the softest hearts for these special angels! They just eat them up and are so kind to them. He kept turning around and waving to Josh and the boys... he wanted nothing to do with me! Kaydon shared his popcorn with him and just made that little boys feel so special!

Monster Truck Chaos

Saturday, Josh and I had a date! I NEVER take pictures of our dates because I am usually so stinking excited that it's just the two of us that I forget about everything else. We went to the RV show and Crown Burger. SO romantic! That night, we took the boys, and Jack's friend Chris, to Monster Truck Jam. It was C.R.A.Z.Y. The boys loved it! It was pretty awesome to watch the tricks they can do. However, there was about five minutes of three motorcross motorcycles doing tricks. I seriously almost left the building! I was so sure that one of them was going to die... I could not watch. I did not watch. I am assured, however, that all went well. Phew!!!
