Michael was old enough to go to Bear Essentials that year.  He had such a good time with the other scouts and he earned lots of achievements that day.  We are so glad Mike loves scouting and is so involved.  If it's something to do with scouting, Michael will always have a chance to go. 

The beginning of April is when we celebrate Michael's birthday.  He got some new cub scout gear.  A Class B uniform which he loves and a pocket knife which he earned by showing us as a wolf that he was responsible to take care of it.  We also got to take some joy rides in a Cessna-our family friends rented one for the day. 

Goings on in June

So, here's an overview of June: Rachy turned two! The kids helped me make her a farm themed cake. She got lots of gifts and really loved the cards with the $2 bills. Thanks grandpas and grandmas! Michael enjoyed raingutter regatta and Brenda enjoyed girls camp. Rachy's back and elbow are healing-no long lasting damage (physically or emotionally).

MIchael's birthday

 

Michael is eight! His birthday requests this year were: Star Wars legos, a third Wii remote, and a lock for his bedroom door(Sarah and Rachel go in his room while he's at school and break his lego creations). His "party" wasn't till Friday, which was also the night of the pinewood derby. His car is the silver rocket car-which came in second in most of it's races. He was very happy to be there! His friend Joseph came over after and had cake and ice cream with us and they had a sleepover-Michael's first ever.
