Brandt and Cars

This is what happens almost every morning. Brandt loves his cars and takes them everywhere. He loves crashing them and playing his game of Demolition Derby.

Sunday

After Brandt got dressed he looked in the mirror and said, "I'm the Bishop!"

Winter 2011

A few weeks ago we got a great snow storm! The boys were in heaven. We have two large common areas in our neighborhood so Spencer and the boys went and made this huge snowman.

Halloween Activities

This year Spencer wanted to be a vampire again. Rex was Superman. Zachary was a bandit. Brandt was Elmo or LaLa as his calls him. Here they are dressed up the Friday before Halloween because they had a parade at school.

The Saturday before Halloween we invited Spencer's family to a Halloween Party at our house. They carved pumpkins, decorated cookies, and ate dinner.

And here is the real Halloween costumes. They got a little more creative. Zach changed to a spy guy, and Rex is Yoda Superman. Whatever goes right? But as you can see by the look on Spencer's face he is not very happy. All four boys got sick Sunday night and we were all up most of the night. By evening they were feeling a little bit better but still had weak stomachs. They went trick or treating in just the neighborhood and were totally energized when they got back.

Happy Birthday Spencer!

For Spencer's birthday he wanted a Rocket Launching Party. So he asked Grandpa Workman to bring his rocket launcher. The boys made their rockets out of paper with the helpful tools my dad brought. Then they took them outside and tested them. They all made great rockets. We were so lucky to have good weather. It has rained for many days in a row and rained all morning and afternoon on the day of the party. It stopped for about one hour just in time for launching and then began to sprinkle when they were done. After the rockets we ate dinner, Spencer requested Navajo Tacos. Then he opened his presents. His friends were so kind. Spencer had a great birthday!

Pack Meeting - October

Here is Spencer receiving his first Webelos pins. He really likes going to Webelos and working on the different activities planned for them. I have been pretty pro-active when it comes to cub scouts making sure they get everything done and more. But the other day as I was thinking about all these boys in my life, I felt very overwhelmed that I have to do it all again four more times!

Brandt tried hard to not use his hands but the donut was too irresistible.

Spencer loved this activity. He got a little wild doing it.

Basketball

Rex and Zachary are playing basketball again. I will have to post some pictures of Zach when we actually take some. :) We just keep forgetting to take the camera.

Rex's team has some of his friends from the ward so it is fun to see them play together.

Shooting Range

Uncle Scott gave Spencer his 22 for his birthday so dad took us all to the shooting range. It was really loud so we were thankful to have our ears covered. I am sure we will be back many times since it is less than ten minutes from our home.

Brandt thought shooting a real gun was the coolest thing on earth.

Spencer did really good! He loved it too! I was surprised at how comfortable he was with the gun. He could have been there for another hour. Guess it is time to buy a gun safe!
