Crossing Over-Tonight was Cordel's crossover from Cub Scout to Boy Scout. It was a very nice ceremony. All the mothers were included in the ceremony. Doug painted dots on each of our faces to represent different steps that Cordel will be taking or has already taken to become a Boy Scout. (I think painting my face was Doug's and Cordel's favorite part)

GROWING UP TOO FAST-Cordel had his 4th grade recognition last week. It's like a mini graduation. Cordel said that when he grows up he will be working with animals as a vet. He will be going to middle school next. The kids all meet with the kids from Lakeview Elementary since they will all be going together in the 5th grade. Cordel said he was a little nervous about going to middle school. I told him everything would be fine. (If he only knew HOW nervous I was for him)

Bree tried to make nice with my brothers goat "Bob" the other day, but Bob was not having any part of it. It was pretty funny watching the 2 of them though.

Emily started Opening Season yesterday with a BANG! Well actually, it was a home run. She was the first to bat and walked right up there and smacked the ball out into the grass. She was very happy! She also tagged a boy out at first base.

Doug and Cordel spent the day on the archery field. Cordel is really enjoying shooting his bow. A friend of ours gave him a bigger bow to start using. He was pretty excited about it.

Cordel was tested Wednesday night for his yellow belt. HE PASSED! He was awarded his yellow belt and will begin training with a staff, which a long wood pole. He is really enjoying his karate classes.
