Science fair - growing germs

Talon and his group did a great presentation for their science fair. They swabbed for germs at their school and made a graph to show "germ comparisons".This is a picture from their poster. Talon had volunteered to swab his mouth for the cause : ) Funny thing is, he ended up without any germs!!!! His teacher and the rest of the staff didn't know how on earth he was without a germ. How do you ask was he germ less? Well, he had been on an antibiotic for an ear infection. Wow....that's how powerful the meds can be. Not a germ in sight! Funny huh.

Overnight-er

Keaton got to go on his first overnight-er for scouts last weekend. It was supposed to be a winter camp but we have had such nice weather that the boys didn't even need a jacket. (as a mom I am not to bummed that it wasn't cold for the little fellas). Here is is all packed and ready to go.....he was like this for about an hour before he even had to leave, now that is what you call EXCITED!I can't believe he is old enough for this. Where does the time go?
They got home the next day a little earlier than planned and we were not home for him yet. He is such a good boy, he let himself in and by the time I got home (about 15 min later) he had all of his stuff unpacked and put away. All on his own....I am so proud of the young man his has become.

Someone got his letter crown!

Mr. Carter Knudsen earned his letter crown at school on the 15th. We are so proud of him. To get his crown he had to be able to recognize all of his consonants and vowels, and know all of their sounds. Woo hoo big boy, you did it!What a little poser : )
I took him out for some frozen custard to celebrate. He wanted the biggest size they had, so of course their was enough for him to share with me....cookie dough was his flavor choice, yummy!

Arrow of Light

In January Keaton had his Arrow of Light ceremony for scouts. He was so excited to get his arrow. He displays it proudly in his room. He has enjoyed scouts very much. I am so proud of him for all of his accomplishments.Nanna and Grandpa were there to support him on his big night.
The young man that did his presentation was awesome. We are lucky to have him in our area to make the scouts night extra special.
Proud mom!

Just clowning around

This was taken at Keaton's birthday party. The pictures are out of order......the story goes......Carter came up for breakfast with a clown wig on. We thought he was pretty silly and didn't expect to see him that way, it was just out of the blue. Keaton was demonstrating the look along with the story.
This is how Carter came into breakfast that morning. What a silly kid. We just love him.

Two Good Looking Brothers

Talon was so excited to be able to leave his class to watch his brothers program. Good Lookin' boys!

Carter's winter sing

Cater sang his little heart out at for his Winter sing in preschool. My favorite song that they sang was "Here comes Suzy Snowflake". Prior to the program Carter would sing that song to me to and from school. He sounded so stinkin' cute, I just wanted him to sing it over and over to me. Once their was a snowman......
Mmmmm, not sure that he is diggin' the scarf they had the kids wear.
Cute boy! He was so excited to give us the Christmas gift he got to make at school. It was a cute little hand-print and a sweet saying to go along with it.
