Old Family Photos

My Aunt Michele sent me these old photos and I wanted to share them. These were fun to go through! The kids looked at them and Stewart kept saying "That's not you, that's Allie!" I don't see it, but maybe?

Of course, you can still order using the form from the printed flyer.

Thank you,

Stewart went to the dentist last week and got a clean bill of health! Today he lost another front tooth so now he looks like a jack o'lantern :)

Cub Scouts and Fundraising

Stewart joined the Cub Scouts this year. Here's how our first meeting went:

Me: Before we leave we have to get a picture in your uniform.
Stewart: I don't want to.
Me: Too bad. Now stand in front of the garage here and smile. (First picture taken) That was good now can you try smiling instead of making a face. (Second picture taken) Better, now Allie wants to be in the picture pretend you love her. (Third picture taken) OK everyone in the car let's go!

So far it's been fun but we've only had one meeting so I'll let you know more in a few months :)

Stewart's Fundraiser started earlier this week and I am just now getting around to looking at the catalog. I know, BAD MOMMY! It's really easy this year for everyone. Everything is $15 each. OUCH! Don't feel pressured to buy anything, the prizes are not very exciting :) Here are your choices:

Cinnamon Rolls. Two re-sealable trays each with four large 4.5 oz. servings with delicious cream cheese icing.

Auntie Anne's Soft Pretzels. Each box contains six 4 oz. frozen pretzels with salt and cinnamon sugar flavor packets.
