Brownie Camp out

Alright.  Our little Brownie Troop finally had their first camp out.  Courtney and I took the easy way out.  Friday night was girl scout night with the Asheville Tourists,  the Colorado Rockies Farm Team.  After the game, the girls were able to camp out on the field.  It was actually a lot of fun.  Savannah came out of her shell and was such a social butterfly.


Here is Savannah with Miss NC 2008.  Miss NC was very popular 
with all the little girls in the stands.  And can I just say, she walked
around the entire stadium wearing 3 inch heels.  YIKES!

Here are my boys with Miss NC.  Doesn't Larry look psyched.  
Xander just wanted to know if that Tiara was real diamonds.

Ok, Ruby Isabella is such a clown.  She continually made faces for a 
young couple sitting across from us.  They thought she was
an adorable little thing.  

Here are just some of my little Brownie Troop.  They were
hooting and hollering with all the songs.

Here is Ethan with his balloon dog.  There was a man there making balloon animals.
He was asking for tips and donations before he would make one.  
What a gimmick.  I know these balloons do not cost that much.  
He made $20 alone with our little Brownie Troop.  At least Ethan is 
very excited.  This pet last almost 1 hour before popping in the restroom.

Let the camp out begin.  Here is Savannah under the score board.

Here is Savannah in our tent.  We were the first ones to get our 
tent up.  Not bad for someone who has never put one together by herself.

Here is Savannah and Carly, her best friend.  They had so much energy.




Savannah resting after many somersaults.  

Well, I survived the camp out.  Just barely.  The field lights weren't turned off till midnight.  And I have a habit of waking up at 5:30AM.  So you can imagine how much sleep I did not get.  Savannah had so much fun and that is truly all that matters.  
Saturday afternoon, we spent teaching Xander how to ride his bike.  He did really well for being such a fraidy cat.

Here is Xander and Larry Denzil working on his bike.  My curiousity is can't you Roberts'
work on anything without that tongue sticking out?  Xander was so proud to
fix his rear tire.  Something his big brother has not been able to do.


Here is Ruby driving Larry Denzil's car.  Look out teenage years!

What is wrong with this picture?  Would it be little Larry 
pushing Larry Denzil on the swing?  That is not our yard by the way.  
That is our neighbor Ronnie's field.  He has swings on the trees for 
his "babies" to play on.  
He's doing it!  Xander pedaled a few feet by himself till he realized 
Larry Denzil was no longer holding on.


Here he is going in for a crash landing into the yard.

Now daddy has him...

Now Daddy does not....

Apple Festival

OK,  I was too excited to wait on this new post.  We went to the Hendersonville Apple Festival this afternoon.  We have lived here 2 years and this was our first time going.  It was fun.  People had their crafts for sale and of course, lots of apples.  Anyways, center stage, a band was performing old rock n roll music.  We stopped to take a break and enjoy ice cream.  While sitting there, a square dancer asked Larry Denzil to be her partner in the square dancing routine.  Talk about a laugh, I hope you guys enjoy the pictures.  Did I forget to mention that the Hurts were in for a visit? Ok, here is Larry Denzil having a great time square dancing. I think he has found his true calling. Here is little Larry relaxing during the bands gig. Here is Larry Denzil and the little old lady who asked him to be her partner.  Poor thing, I do not think she read the back of his shirt.  He had the number  7 and at the top it said Baby Maker.  This was his work soft ball shirt. He is actually enjoying...

What on Earth!? How can you not stop and smile?

This morning I woke up and felt really good and energized. I was just ready to start the day. I had a little fun on the wii fit at 5:30Am before waking the kids.   A Valentine's gift from a dear husband.  I love video games and well, you might as well exercise while playing. Afterwards, I started with my chores.  Just trying to tackle  one room at a time.  The first room I cleaned was the children's living room.  Why did I choose this room? I knew Ethan & Ruby would play and watch TV, but I had no idea they would do this!? Here is a darling Ruby Isabella exhausted and asleep after her mayhem and destruction. Yes, that is toilet paper all over the floor. An entire roll they managed to toss all over the living room. They also got a hold of the baby bath and made some bubbles in  the boys bedroom, and got a hold of the lotion and squirted it all over  the footboard on my bed.  Where am I during all this? Feeling really good because I had washed, dried, and folded 4 loads of la...

Scary Moment

Last night we had a bit of a scare in our house.  I was making dinner for the missionaries.  No my dinner was not scary!  I was making a pre-holiday meal, ham and the whole nine yards.  I had purchased fresh cranberries to make cranberry sauce.  Larry and I do not like cranberries but all of my kids do.  Ruby was anxiously waiting to eat and was dancing around in our small busy kitchen trying to help me.  To scoot her along, I gave her a fresh cranberry to nibble on. Less than 5 minutes later she began crying.  Larry had just gotten home so I thought she just wanted him to pick her up.  He did and she kept crying and holding her mouth.  He thought maybe she was teething, but those pesky 2 year molars came early.  I was stressed making the meal, I did not have time for tears.  But Larry would not stop crying about Ruby.  Just kidding. He was freaking out and her crying was uncontrollable so I checked on her.  Her lower lip had completely swollen up.  This was our first experience with a...
