End of Year Program

Here are some pictures and hopefully video for the 4th grade end of year program.

Arrow of Light

The highest award in Cub Scouting and the only badge that can be worn on your Boy Scout uniform is an Arrow of Light. Mason received this award, thanks to a great Webelos Leader. Part of the tradition in our pack is to walk the bridge that leads to Boy Scouts and to be painted for all of the skills that you learned. I am not sure what each color means, but it is a fun tradition.

How many college degrees does it take?

I am just wondering how many degrees it takes to get a set of keys out of a locked truck? When someone (????) locked the keys in Kalin's truck, there were 3 people with doctorate degrees trying to get the keys out. None of them succeeded, but it was fun to watch them try!!

Lazy Days of Summer

I officially declare summer over!!! It is easier to teach than to keep up with my children. I feel like I am in the car the entire day!!! Here is a sample of my schedule on Monday:

5:45 Listen to make sure Colton is up for his carpool to weightlifting, football and Driver's Ed (Thank goodness for friends that are morning people)
8:30 Drive Morgan to gymnastics in Salem
8:45 Run to Sam's Club to buy candy bars for the Football Boosters' Golf Tournament Fundraiser on Tuesday.
10:20 Empty car from Sam's Club
10:30 Drive Mason's carpool to baseball camp
10:35 Pick up beef from Circle V Meats
11:00 Empty 3 huge boxes of meat into freezer; take other meat to Becky
11:30 Pick Morgan up from Gymnastics
11:50 Wash baseball pants at carwash
12:00 Put pants in the dryer to dry before Colton needs them at 1:00 (PLEASE Dry)
12:30 Pick Kira up from Becky's (OK Drag Kira away from Emily)
12:45 Feed whomever is home lunch
1:00 Try to get Kira to take a nap while I
sort the laundry
1:30 Give up on Kira's nap
2:45 Go to Colton's baseball game
5:00 Come home; feed Mason's team (well...four of them)dinner; get them ready for their game
5:45 Send them to warm-up for their game
6:00 Go to the "State Champions" SFHS baseball team dinner and awards
8:00 Go to last few minutes of Mason's game.
9:30 Walk 3 miles
10:30 Crash in bed only to start over tomorrow.
School is definitely easier than this.

Tuesday's schedule includes the Golf Tournament, Physicals, Haircuts, Pack Night (Mason got his Arrow of Light) and Morgan's softball game. No wonder I am exhausted at the end of the day.

A Hard Loss to a Great Season!!!

Is it harder to lose by a huge margin or by a very small margin? Kalin's lacrosse team had a great season!! They flew through the regular season with 1 loss in their region. They advanced through the playoffs easily despite the snow and freezing weather.









They came to the state championship game ready to play. It was an exciting game. The Warriors played hard and were ahead 6-5 with 2 minutes left. Unfortunately Timpanogoos came back and scored 2 quick goals to go ahead 7-6 with not enough time left to do anything. It was a very hard way loss.

Our hearts broke for the team. The moms still have a hard time talking about it. And the boys have an even harder time.

Canyon Cub Choir

Morgan got a chance to sing in the school choir. Here is one of the songs.
Morgan had a good time. They practiced after school every Wednesday starting in December. Morgan loves to sing around the house and everywhere. She makes her brothers crazy. They knew all the songs for the program before the concert was even close.
