Pack Night
Last night was the boys' pack night at Scouts. Tristan received his Aquanaut, Artist, Citizen, Forester, Outdoorsman, and Traveler pins. It was also Jasen's first pack meeting as a scout, and he was so excited! He was welcomed into the Wolf den, and should be receiving his book, neckerchief and slide soon. The meeting was outside last night, and they played water games. My boys had a great time!
Miss B
I got to realizing that I haven't posted anything about Miss Brin in a while. Well, she is still fabulous! Getting so big, and running around like crazy.
Here are some of her more recent goings-on:
* She loves to tear up books, much to the dismay of the rest of us. We quickly learned to keep the office door closed, or risk walking in to a pile of shredded paper.
* She babbles constantly. She says "mama" (we go back and forth- maaa-ma! Briiin- ley!) "dada" "hi" "here" "hey" (which she says like a sista: He-ey!) "doggies" and what sounds suspiciously like "I love you."
* She loves to give high-fives.
* She loves to eat. String cheese, graham crackers, pasta, potatoes and fruit are some of her favorites.
* She loves to swing at the park.
* She has figured out how to climb up on the couches, and she is very proud of herself for doing so.
* She is currently in the process of learning the correct way of getting down off of beds and couches. Most of the time she'll stay on the couches and play, but holler when she wants down. The beds however... she went headfirst off one today. Luckily it was right into Tristan's lap, so she was scared, but not hurt.
* She thinks it's super fun to pull ALL the wipes out of the box.
* She runs really fast, and thinks it's super funny when someone chases her.
* She loves to grab bottles out of the fridge and run away with them.
* She has figured out how to make kissy noises with her mouth, but can't do it for very long cause she smiles so big.
*She loves to look at herself in the mirror, or at pictures of her on my phone.
* She also discovered how to make her feet slap on the tile, and she often walks around slapping her feet and laughing at herself.
* She still has crazy hair. It's getting long and curly, but for the most part she is in a constant state of bedhead. She still won't keep any headbands or bows in it, but she will let me put it in a piggy.
* She loves shoes. She gets so excited when its time to put her shoes on. She is, without a doubt, my daughter!
* She LOVES to be outside. She makes a run for the door any time she hears it open. She loves to play with the dogs, and their water bowl especially. She splashes in it, and dumps it out, and carries it around for hours.
* She LOVES the dogs. And they love her! They are so patient with her yelling at them and "petting" them and dumping out their water all the time and banging their food bowls all over the patio.
* She thinks it's hysterical when she farts.
* She still loves to rock to sleep. She'll come over and back up to me in the rocking chair when she's ready for some quiet time.
* She still loves to play peek a boo.
* She loves music. Any time one of her toys or any music comes on, she starts dancing.
* She loves to help with the dishwasher. Her favorite thing is taking out the silverware and trying to run away with it.
* She just figured out how to open doors, and with us having handles instead of knobs on our doors, she thinks she's something else.
* She loves Tristan's remote control robot. It makes noise and dances and she likes to dance with it and follow it.
* She has discovered how to turn the TV on. And thinks it's pretty silly to turn it on and off, on and off, all the time.
* She loves loves her brothers. Especially when they sit on the floor. She'll climb all over them and pat their heads.

Summer
So school's been out for a little while now, and the boys have definitely been keeping busy. They have been outside playing on the trampoline with the hose every day, we've gone to the library a few times, they've had a few play dates with their friends, and just hanging out at home too. Cahl found a $1 movie schedule for this summer, so that's something they are looking forward to. And we've picked out a few new museums and things to do that we haven't done before. They are also looking forward to swimming lessons coming up next month. And so it seems that our summer is off to a good start!
Cast
Today Tristan finally got his cast off! He has been looking forward to this afternoon for the last month, and he couldn't be happier. His appointment went really quick- they took the cast off, x-rayed it one more time, and said everything is looking great! He's so excited to play in the hose and go swimming, and just take regular showers! It's so funny, he has a double farmers tan on his arm! One line from his shirt, and another from his cast!
Awards
Jasen's class held their end of the year award ceremony today, and Jasen received 3 different awards this time around. Of course, he is still on the straight A Honor Roll, and he also received the Governor's Award for Attendance- which means he had perfect attendance the entire school year. And he was also given an Achievement award by his teacher. And now on to 3rd grade!
