Catching up

Ryan received his Webelos badge, and Arrow of Light badge, the end of September. Since Ryan likes science, that was the Pack Meeting theme. Our Cub Master dressed up as a mad scientist, and they did lots of fun experiments. They presented him with this Arrow of Light plaque, which we are in the process of putting all of his Cub Scout badges on. Right after he received this, I had to smile, because his first comment was, "I bet Matt will be really impressed when he sees this!" Thanks for being a good example with your Eagle Scout awards Matt and Reece!




Tina, Sierra, Ryan, and I, went to Winnemucca the first weekend of October to meet baby Joel, and help Tiff a little while Cody was in Vegas. It was a good trip and a very fun visit. Joel is so sweet and Tea' loves him so much. I'm not sure how we ended up without a picture of Joel, but we got some cute ones of Ryan entertaining the kids. We were so glad Brock, Crystal, Chloe, and Cavan could come visit while we were there!
On our way home Sunday, we hit a freak snow storm. There must have been at least 6 inches of heavy, wet, snow in Jackpot! It was crazy, luckily the snow plows had been through and the roads were pretty clear. Don't worry, Tina drove so I didn't even get stressed out.



On the 11th of Oct. we went to Utah for baby Danica's blessing. I was happy Janine asked me to make the blessing dress. I had so much fun picking out just the right fabric. It was pretty slippery though, and I was glad Nick held on tight during the blessing:) The boys look so big now next to Dani. They are so sweet with her.
Tanae drove with us and we had a fun visit, even though it was a quick trip.
Sierra is in driver's training right now. She has a very cranky lady for her driving teacher.(it should make her more comfortable when she drives with me) I really like the fall class because you get to practice driving in the snow and you have a big Student Driver sign on the car, so people watch out for you!
Sierra also got her report card last week and she has her first 4.0, Great Job Sierra! She is taking an Honors English class, and an AP History class, so she's working really hard.
Ryan also got all A's and B's and is finding out 5th grade is a lot of work.
Sorry I've been such a blog slacker, hope you enjoy this little catch up blog.
