Scout Campout

Matt had a camp-out in January and I'm finally getting the pictures up. The boys had a great time, or so I heard! He goes on another one in 2 weeks.

Dinner or Breakfast? I'm sure this was breakfast because by the time they got to the site it was dark Friday night.
The boys found a rope swing and Matt said they were entertained for hours with this thing.

I'm A Lucky Girl

I planned on posting this on Valentines Day but as you can tell from previous posts thing have been a little crazy around here. But, I still wanted to say thanks for my wonderful husband who wakes up an hour before me each morning and leaves me these wonderful presents.


For those of you who have had formula babies you know that the task of making formula never seems to end. So we make batches every morning for the entire day and leave it in the fridge. It is always nice to wake up and find this in the fridge and know that you have one less thing to do. Plus the sweet note is always nice as well!
Thanks Matt for always being so thoughtful, your my favorite!

North Carolina Snow

It isn't suppose to snow in North Carolina but once every three to five year and it has snowed here 3 times this year alone, once this last week. Here are some pictures of Keeley enjoying a snow day in January.

And a video for your viewing pleasure.

Look What I Found

The other day I found Keeley like this! Some other good finds were on top of the fireplace, in the cupboard with the the toilet paper and in the fridge. She has just started to stand by herself this past week. Fortunately for us she doesn't like it. As soon as it occurs to her what she is doing she quickly sits down.

Work Work Work

For those of you who have know me several years your really going to get a kick out of this. . .

I decided that I needed to pick up a part time job to help out a little. I've been looking and looking for something that I can do part time and either from home or in the evenings. I even checked out the climbing gyms. However, I had a very difficult time finding something that would pay decent. Then I found a job as a cheerleading coach. haha! That is one part of my life that I thought I would never go back to. It has been over 10 years since I cheered and I have found so many other things that I enjoy doing more. But i have really enjoyed coaching. I work two nights a week and between both night coach more than 100 girls most between 4 and 7. I think I would enjoy anything that is active and with children. I will keep you updated on how it continues to go. I take the girls to compete in May.

Matt also received another calling a few months back. He was sustained Young Mens 1st Counselor. Between this and his calling as Scout Master (that he won't be released from) he should stay very busy. These are both new callings to him and I think he is pretty excited. He is finally getting the hang of all the scout stuff so it is good time to pick up a few extra responsibilities. I know many people who are severing church position that take much more time but I'm proud of Matt for how he handles everything. He works very hard to balance all of his responsibiliteis as a husband, a father, a provider, a designer, a friend, a home teacher, a scout master and now a counselor. I grateful that he works so hard for us.

Needless to say Matt and I don't get to see much of each other during the week and we have also been working weekends but it definitely makes Sundays that much more enjoyable! Only 6 more days until we get another.
