I'M DONE!!!

So Day camp is offically DONE!!! unfortunatelly our district was way to disorganized this year which made for a way too stressful week for those who were trying their best to put on camp... but i don't think the Boys even noticed.. Hunter and KayLea had a blast and Brad even had some fun although it was a different guy running the water so he couldn't just frolic in the water with kayak's this year he found a buddy (a fellow older brother) and they fished and swam (on their own) and did bb's once or twice.. so it was a success over all and the best part was I NEVER HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN!!! now thats not to say if i still have a cub scout calling i might come for friday skits or something like that.. BUT... i won't come for a whole week again, and i'm holding firm to that!~!! it's someone elses turn to get those blessings (sounds good right.. i'm going to bookmark this post and remind myself of this next year!)

So it looks like i've finally figure out how to reduce the size of these pic's from my camera so i can post on the blog.. it's still taken a bit but at least here's a couple from this week... above is Hunter shooting arrows, BB's and with half of his den figuring out a catapult and doing a jousting exercise (the theme was Knights of the round table) below are the few pic's i got of KayLea playing and doing her skit with her tag-a-long group..

So dispite the pitfalls it was a fun LAST week... ta ta for now

Pinewood Derby and "Ben's the Man!"

Well last night was "build Derby car night" A wonderful Man in our ward who happens to be in the Stake Presidency also each year lets us set up his table saw and sander and lets the boys and their dads cut out their cars.. it was a huge success each boy got their car cut out and is getting excited for the big race in 2 weeks..

The "Ben's the Man" portion of this post is that Ben earned "supervisor of the Quarter" for the last quarter of 2007 at his station.. this although i don't think Ben would admit it.. is a GREAT honor and one that he's never really gotten before as a supervisor.. it's voted on by the higher management of the station and along with this groovy plaque he gets an additional paid day off which will come in handy with us moving and all...

So thats whats going on today... we hopefully will hear today what the Appraisal came in at an then we need about another couple of days to get the money for the down and we should CLOSE! i'm getting excited but a little overwhelmed at all that i need to get done but it will happen regardless.. the good thing about if we close early is we'll have the rest of the month to get moved in so it's not so much pressure etc. etc..
