Last Cub Master Night

Cari saying thanks
I wanted this picture because there is a picture of my Grandma and uncle with them posing in a salute just the same. I will have to find it and post it next to this.
This picture was originally of Trevor and me, but the "me" part looked really bad!! -- So here he is --Webelos extrordinaire!! Trevor doesnt always smile for pics so I really like this of him.

This past Wednesday was my last pack Meeting as Cub Master. I got a new calling and was sustained this past Sunday that will keep me associated with the scouting program but not as directly. I may not ever get out of Primary! I think it must be stamped on my forehead! Anyhow, in some amazing twist of fate the Stake has asked me to be the 1st Counselor in the Stk Primary. Thank you to many of you local readers who have already supported me in this endeavor! I was and am a little overwhelmed but I have a wonderful President and 2nd Counselor to work with as well as the board. I hope to be set apart tomorrow. So - wish me luck. It will start getting very busy very fast with ward conferences, Stake Aux. training, Stk Achievement Day Girls Day conference, Primary Sacrament Programs, Etc Etc. The kicker was that I thought I was DONE with Day Camp - but the Stk Primary usually helps with registration. Oh Well!



I think I will miss the cubmaster thing - a little - maybe--although it will be interesting to sit in the audience as a parent. Trevor will be in there until late June. He actually received quite a few Webelos pins on Wed. He has been working hard this summer when we went on all of our camping trips. Great job Trevor!

Going to the Dogs

Several of my blogging friends have new puppies so I thought I would post these pics of our dogs. They are especially cute when they are sleeping! Misty and Odie are great. We really love them. They like to lay or sit on this chair and wait for the kids or Todd, or me probably to come home. I will admit that sometimes they get rowdy and get into stuff. It does get easier as they get through that first year. We recommend West Highland Terriers!

Crazy Tornado Weather

It has been raining a lot lately - much more than usual. Several times we have had tornado watches and warnings. However, yesterday there were 3 tornadoes that set down in Castle Rock! It made the national news and my mother called me before I even realized what was going on. We didnt actually see them from our house, but apparently they were within a couple miles from us! I guess there was no damage luckily. I didnt take this picture - but this was seen by people VERY close to where we live. Crazy. I was actually in a huge tornado when I was living in Texas as a child. It was bad.

Trevor's Fish

Last week we finally ate Trevor's fish that he caught at Silver Creek, It had been in the freezer. He was so excited to do the whole thing himself getting it ready and putting it on the grill. he was so funny!!

Girls Day Out

Not sure how I took the above - freaky! the others below I edited.

Christen and I had fun together today. We slept in a bit and then went to a Baby Shower Brunch for my friend Cindy. It was at Mimi's cafe and it was fun to visit with all of the ward ladies. They have great omlets and muffins! Good luck Cindy! -Hope everything goes smoothly!

We were super close to Brunswick Zone so Christen and I went bowling with 2 free game coupons. It happened to be Cosmic Bowling, which I have never done before. I wasnt sure if all of that would be distracting but I actually played a good game -and so did Christen. A little known fact about me is that I actually took a bowling class with my friends at BYU ions ago. It was great fun!

When we got home we went on a bike ride. We were going to ride to the pool but it started thundering. Bummer. Todd and the boys got home fine. I will post that later. I was sure that they spent the whole night in the rain because that was how it was here but they lucked out I guess.

A great day

Wow -- I am being cosistent! -- Wont always happen like this.

I had a great day. I got the kids off to school and laughed for awhile at the Anita Renfroe clips. Then I went to the temple. I actually like going by myself. I have more time to concentrate and contemplate. The grounds are always so beautiful I wish that I had brought my camera because it was different that even a few months ago. Anyhow. I did see a woman that I admire so much and have the utmost respect for. I actually knew that she was going with some of her own ward friends. I had set up to meet her after and talk about some Primary/ scout stuff. It was so peaceful to be there and then so nice to spend some time with Diane.

When I got home Brandon and I went to the grocery store - a much needed trip -- and we got to visit. It has been nice to have some alone time with him before the other two come home. He is adjusting fine to the new school but the first few days were kind of rough. Mainly meeting new kids. He had 2 friends that he knew on his team. I told him that he had to meet someone new each day and report back to me - which he has done.

At 5 PM Todd and I had made a date to meet to go to the Taste of Douglas County together. They have it at the fairgrounds and probably 30 or more restaurants come in to bring samples of their foods. You just walk around from place to place eating all varieties of stuff form ribs and pizza, to steak and chocolate (not mixed) It has to be fun!!

Anyway, it was nice to be together for a while. We have really started enjoying our short cheap outings together just to visit. Todd had band practice after that and Brandon and I did pre -Algebra homework. It is a fairly early for me but I think I will read for awhile and go to bed. Todd and the boys are going on a 14er camping/hiking trip tomorrow afternoon so it is just Christen and me this weekend.

If you just need a laugh

OK So now I am just on a roll. - (See below post) If you need a break from your life take a moment and sit and laugh for awhile. It is healthy to laugh! Let me know what you think. You will recognize one of them at least. It was sent around alot a year or so ago. Anita Renfroe is the best! She is a Christian singer,comedian, motivational speaker and writer. I have read several of her books and love them too.

So take a moment - my gift to you! Thinking of you all my good friends!!

Love Lisa
