December blues

Today Kyle and I spent the day in the ER

It has been a rough month for Kyle. He is rolled from respiratorybugs to ear infections to stomach bugs with not much of any break.  Praying we can catch a break and some rest. Sorry the blog has been lacking updates my phone no longer wants to let my update the blog from it. Trying to figure out why but it may just be the age of my phone ( it is aging- not with much grace) everyone in my house is sleeping and I should be too! We hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!!

North Pole here we come

October Boy Scout Trip

This last weekend Josh and Wade got to attend a Boy Scout trip to Buffalo NY to spent the night on the USS Little Rock with 248 other scouts. It was a blast. 

The trip started with a quick stop at Niagara Falls. 

Lunch at the falls. 

Finding a rack when we finally got on board. No lack of excitement in the berthing r oom. 

Safety brief. 

Muster after the fire drill. 

Dinner

A massive anchor. 

The mother load of coffee has been found. 

Pon pon guns. 

20mm 

Crossed anchors marking the way to the berthing means only the best of the best get to sleep there. 

Packing up the next morning. 

Troup 729

Please help Boy Scout Troop 729

I am trying to help my troop by selling popcorn this year to raise money for the trips and activities we do through out the year. The the link below is where you can buy popcorn for your self and at the same time support Troop 729. I greatly appreciate anything you can do to help. Feel free to pass this link on to anyone else that might be interested. Love Josh
