Life

First of all, I'd like to thank Carl for keeping the blog going the past two months. Its been a long time since I blogged, and a lot has happened, and thankfully, he's made a good effort at updating our 'journal' of the boys here.

My grandmother passed away two months ago. It was a hard January while she was suffering and trying to hang on, and its been a harder February and March since she has left us. We're very grateful that she had Cheryl, Bobby, and my mom all with her at the very end. I've gone through a lot of emotions, and I'm somewhat drowning trying to keep up with the kids, home, work, and family.

I'm trying to think about the good times, and so here are few more of my very favorite pictures of her.

 We love you, BeBe.

Always and Forever.

Studies of a Penguin

Alexander is slightly obsessed with penguins - something that we heavily encourage - here is some of his drawings.

Pinewood Derby

It's that time again for Cub Scouts Pinewood Derby - it's a fun time filled with boys and their parents working over little pieces of wood and running them down an aluminum track. Den 7 (my den) has run it for two years, and it's gone pretty well.

End result: Alexander got 8th place in speed, Ryan got "Most Colorful" ;-) Very proud of my boys.

Here are some in progress shots of the car creation - Ryan's Lego Racer and Alexander's Blue Angel.

Boys Will be Boys

I've apparently had my phone for a long time and captured some decent photos of my danger boys (Also the cat and a Degu)
