Hoppy Easter!

Cooper and his friend Gus made easter cookeis and colored eggs this year. If only the chickens had been better contributors we'd have used brown eggs!
The bunny hopped with his muddy paws through our house again...he makes such a mess every year!

It was a good thing this year because he hid Cooper's Easter basket in the DRYER! I'm not sure we would have ever found it without those foot prints.


Corm's was hidden near the door and Cooper couldn't resist helping him find it. They both had fun treats from the bunny...


Especially the new Puffles on a key chain!

We spent the rest of the day visiting family. There was an egg hunt and lunch at Nana's with Leejae, Brendan, and Alex (nobody was impressed with the goldfish crackers in the eggs...)

And then another hunt for treats at Grammy and Papa's house with Kaeley. Both boys got Zhu Zhu pets and are still loving them today!

It was a great day, Thanks to everyone!

WHOA...I've been a slacker!

I can't believe its been so long. I apologize!

March and April have brought rain and sun (although today there was snow...UGGH).

We went to the District Pinewood Derby. Cooper and Shawn tweaked the original car and we spent several hours with many other Tiger Cubs watching heat, after heat, after heat...
Coop's car did well, first or second each time! He got a cool medal in the end. He was disappointed to not earn a trophy but tried hard to keep his game face on for photos!



The pack celebrated the 100th year of Boy Scouting in America this year with the
annual Blue and Gold Luau!

Each den had to design a centerpiece for their table. Cooper compiled this photo essay for the creation of our den's volcano...technical help provided by Mom.

Watch out Winter Olympics 2022

Cooper took a snowboarding lesson at Gustock this week...He's one cool kid!

"Magic Carpet, here I come!"

"Phew, we both made it."
Look at that stance, is he serious or what??

"Whoops!"

He claims to have fallen 'only twice' within the hour lesson...
I guess that's the story we're sticking to!

"I learned how to turn!" he exclaimed proudly. By the end he had the hang of it.

"And up we go again!"
He never did get to show his instructor, James, the tricks he knows
(you know, the ones he can do on the Wii), but he had a great day and a really quiet ride home!

A Bobcat with a Trophy!

Cooper officially became a Bobcat last week!

He and Shawn built a Pinewood Derby car for Sunday's Derby. Cooper looked online for car designs he liked, Shawn went into the depths of the basement and returned with a car just the right shape! Add a layer of the finest finger paint, a few stickers, and VOILA!

Here's the line up for the day....

Cooper's car came in first and second place in several different heats! Here's a picture of a close one...so close!
At the end of the day he received a 1st place trophy for his Tiger Cubs Den and his car placed 4th out of 21 in the whole Pack! Off to the Regional Derby...

Two proud boys in our house!

Happy 2010

Happy New Year!
