Getting Old!?! No Way!

This post is dedicated to the old folks below! Yes, we turned another year older in October too. Me, Oct 18th and Dana, Oct 29th! Happy Birthday to us! Photos below taken by Joseph. This proves that we are still young at heart!
We were at a midevil festival and we are balancing on swival boards. If my memory serves me right, and it always does, I belive I won!

We were laughing so hard! It is fun to act like a kid.

I love you Dana!

Mason's 5th Birthday!

Mason turned 5 on Oct. 23rd! We had our little family party.Dana made a scavenger hunt and Mason went around the house finding presents. It was fun!The next day Mason had a small birthday party with friends. They had so much fun training to be superheros! Dana is so creative and had lots of fun games the kids loved.I actually made my first pinata! With a little spray paint, you could almost recognize the spiderman logo!Here is James taking a wack!Mason got to finish off the job. Bring on the candy!

Here is Mason getting ready to pin the arm on Doc Ock! The kids really had a great time. I am just grateful for a wonderful husband who is awesome with kids and does all the hard work! Happy Birthday Mason, we love you!

The world of Cub Scouts

Since Joseph turned 8 we have jumped feet first into the world of Cub scouts. I still feel like I might be missing something, but understanding is starting to dawn. He had his first space derby a few months back and he was so cute! Joseph pretty much won first or second every race with the "Blue Torpedo" and it was a happy event!

I got second!
Last week at Pack Meeting Joseph was awarded with his Bobcat Badge. He also earned four beltloops in BB Shooting, Astronomy, Archery, and Ultimate Frisbee! Hey, I even got a bobcat pin! Cool! Way to go Joseph we are proud of you!

Oh, I am so cute!

This is me, Vilate. Most of the time I am being knocked, bumped, stepped on, carried, hugged, kissed, and teased, by all four of my big brothers. I love them tons, and despite all the attention I get from them, I do get a few solo moments. So...
