Jacob's Cub Scout Pinewood Derby

Today was Jacob's Cub Scout Pinewood Derby. He did very well & I'm very proud of him. Although he did not place, he did his best & was very happy for the boys who did!

Jacob got his belt loop for Marbles.

Todd's Promotion

Todd has gotten promoted to Master Sergeant. I did not go to the promotion, but I am very proud of him!

This is not a picture of his promotion, but a picture after he as promoted. For the last 2 weeks he was in the field & these are the guys he's "in charge" with. My, oh, my....... look out! Hee! Hee!

Highlights from 2008

As we begin a new year, my very good friend, Carrie, suggested I start a blog. So to get caught up, I'm first going to post some special days from 2008. Then, throughout 2009, I will do my best to update my blog on a regular basis. So, let's look over 2008, shall we?

2008 Camping Trip

When Todd got home from Iraq, we went on a camping trip. This will be the last time I camp in a tent! There was so much wildlife in our campground. One night, a bear came into our campsite. I didn't get a picture of it, but it's something I will never forget!
