Wordless Wednesday: Hungry Scouts, A Common Sight Around Here

Our Little Go Getter

This sweet girl of ours has decided to teach herself French. 

Thanks to Uncle Joe who showed her a free language app she is up and running and loving every minute of it. 

She is such a go getter I swear. 

I am excited to see what this cutie does in her life. 

Flag Football Champions

We convinced Ryland to do another year of Flag Football this year instead of Tackle. He is totally gung ho about it but I am just not ready to commit to practices 5 times a week. Yikes!! Thankfully two of his very best buddies were doing one last year of Flag as well, that totally clinched the deal. 

They went undefeated the entire season and THEN went on to win the Championship game. He was one excited boy I tell ya!

Some victory photos of some very EXCITED boys!

After the game Ryland wanted to chest bump everyone in sight. It was hilarious. Luckily his Coach and his buddy Dax were up to the challenge. Not without some trepidation though, ha ha!

Super excited and proud of you my boy! 

Wordless Wednesday: Tweenage Embarassment

Nate's Wood Badge Ceremony

Tonight I received my Wood Badge beads.

In order to receive your beads 

you attend Wood Badge over two weekends and received training and you need to set goals around 5 areas and work on those goals for many months. For example, I worked on Communication, Duty to God, Training, Personal Fitness, and District support. I made goals in each of these areas and once I hit each of them I qualified for my Wood Badge beads.

Part of the ceremony includes receiving a special neckerchief and slide. 

We also sang the Wood Badge song. Here I am with Sheila and Ron who were in the same patrol, the Fox patrol.

Four folks from staff who came to my beading ceremony. Joe, Les, Chris and Chris.

Half of the Fox patrol. Ron Bingham is one of my great Scouting friends. I really look up to him and appreciate his friendship and guidance through the Scouting program. 

It was a great night and a great accomplishment to achieve.
