A Day of Silly String

I've had a few bottles of silly string around the house for quite awhile.  The kids have been asking me all the time when they could play with it.  I finally decided to let them have a break from school and go play with the silly string.  They had so much fun.

Weinermobile

The Weinermobile was in town!  It was at the Monroe Walmart so we decided to go see it.  The girl that took our picture, who tours with the vehicle, was from Pittsburgh, PA.

Boy Scout Field Trip

Daddy took the Boy Scouts on a field trip to the Airport.  
Here is Johnny sitting in Daddy's plane.  He looks like a natural!


On the way out to see more planes
Not the greatest picture, but they got really lucky because there was a Blackhawk helicopter at the airport.
The pilot was nice enough to talk to the boys.

He let them in the helicopter and they even got to put on the night vision goggles.  

The kids had a blast!!

First Day of School-2010

We started school this year on August 23rd.  The kids weren't too excited about starting, but they are doing just fine now.  We started the day with our new math curriculum.  I am SO glad that I changed our math.  We had lots of tears over it last year and this year they are ASKING to do math!!!!
Here they are all ready to go.  We didn't have a very good first day, but it's gone uphill since then!!

Swimming

We went with some friends to Lake D'Arbonne State Park to swim in their pool.  It was so hot that day that when you got in the water it wasn't refreshing at all.  We still had a great day!

They have really become little fish this summer since we got our pool.  They are swimming much better!

Johnny's 1st Boy Scout meeting

Johnny joined Boy Scouts this year.  He is so excited.  He put on his uniform and was ready to go.  You can tell by the smile on his face how excited he is!!

Self-Defense

We made Stephanie a thank you cookie cake for teaching the self-defense class.

The kids with Stephanie and Hannah.  Hannah was Stephanie's helper and did a great job also!!

Here are some videos of the kids at self-defense.  Hailey had a much better one, but I didn't get the video camera out in time.  She is being kind of silly in this one.  The kids LOVED their self-defense class and they LOVED  Stephanie!  We are very glad we took the class!
