Chase got his WOLF!

It seems that lately EVERY week has been a busy week! This past weekend we had our children's program in church. It was a lot of preparation in planning songs and parts for 100 children, organizing seats and hoping and praying it all would flow together....AND......IT WAS GREAT!!! I work with the best ladies and they helped make it a huge success! The children did such a fabulous job....they sang loud, they memorized their parts, and they were so reverent sitting on the stand. They were AMAZING!!!
The highlight of the week was Chase receiving his rank of Wolf in scouts! WAY TO GO CHASE!!! He has worked so hard and seems to really enjoy scouts. At the pack meeting he received 2 beads, 1 gold arrow point and 7 silver arrow points, and of course his wolf badge....HE has been a busy boy! He still has another couple weeks before his birthday, but it is nice to know he is ready to move onto BEARS! Poor guy had been home from school for a couple of days, and I'm not sure he was feeling that great, but he was a trooper! We have a wonderful scouting program led by great people. They always make the awards a big deal for the boys, which makes it special. Chase got his wolf print painted on his face by his leader, then had a chance to pin on the "mothers pin." It's so cute because the cub master tells the boys they have to kiss their moms....oh man - Chase did that as quick as he could...it's pretty painful for him to do that in front of people. :) He is not your "PDA" type of kid. Pack meetings are fun because they are for the whole family! Even Grandpa came to support Chase. What an awesome Grandpa....he drives straight from work, about an hour to come support the kids in their activities!
It was a great night....and because I have followed in my mothers footsteps and have to take pictures of everything, I wanted a nice family picture of us with Chase....Seriously....can we get just one good picture without someone smiling funny or being goofy??? Usually it is the kids - but nope....it was the adult. Now I know where Cody gets it from!That's better!!!!
