December

Here are just a few of the things we did in 

December.

Parker raked our leaves.

The cub scouts went Christmas caroling at a local

convalescent hospital.

Hayley became a redhead.

Parker's cub scout pack signed up to 

ring the bell for the Salvation Army.

The cub scouts' Christmas Tree Lane night.  We

roasted hot dogs and marshmallows at a

former scout family's home and then we walked 

the Christmas Tree Lane seeing all the beautiful lights.

Oh, and Hannah has a boyfriend.  His name is David

and he is a boy scout and plays football and baseball.

He's a really good guy and we like him.

Extreme Scout Expo

The Boy Scouts of America's Golden

Empire Council had their Extreme Scout

Expo this year again at Beale Air Force Base.

They usually have it every two years and this

year Parker and I were able to go.

We all camped out and they have a lot of fun

activities for the boys to do as well as stations where 

they get a chance to work on some of their

 and on Saturday night a big rally with music, 

guest speakers and a special guest, 

Astronaut Jose Hernandez.  It was a lot of fun.

Watching an Order of the Arrow ceremonial dance.

They had an extreme bike stunt team perform.

They did some amazing tricks.

Parker did really well on the flight simulator program.

He completed the mission without crashing.

He even impressed the veteran who was supervising.

 He thought Parker had done this kind of thing

before and was surprised when Parker told him he hadn't.

Always happy when holding a weapon.

Working on a requirement for his Craftsman badge.

He made a leather necklace.

Hayley

Here are some September sightings of the 

elusive Hayley all dressed up for church.

And after church, back in her comfy clothes.
