Henry in his new uniform.  

 So each table had a picture of a boy!!!

Thomas called it Henry's memorial (and aren't we glad he is done with cub scouts!!!!). 

 The Webelos did two skits.  

The Three Little Star War Friends and the Big Bad Darth Vader and they sang Tom the toad with different animals.  Of-course Henry was a fish!!!!  They did a wonderful job!!!!

 Yeah, Henry made it!!!!

 Look at all those scouts so excited Henry finally turning 11.

Saturday we decided to celebrate Henry's birthday since we are not going to be home on his birthday.

He got his hiking backpack, a sleeping bag, telescope fishing pole, books and fly typing stuff!!!!!

Cheese Cake for desert!!!!!

He had a great day.

Hangin' with Sven

This passed weekend the family went to visit little Sven 

(and also Pete and Jess with an added bonus of Grandma and Grandpa Damstedt--kept that one a secret until we left to go) .  

Oh-he is so cute!!!!!!  Wish he lived closer so I could hold him.

 Of-course we had to stop off at the Appaloosa Museum.  Lizzy was in heaven,

We were able to look around and see all the things girls need to ride a horse.   

 Saturday night we went ice skating with Pete and Jess.  I did Aunt duty and hung out with Sven.  

The rest of the group went ice skating.  They all did very well for not skating for a couple of years.  They mostly used the helps to go very fast and chase each other.  

 oh-yes the fun aunt and uncle!!!!!

 Isn't he so cute!!!!

See, I am good babysitter.

 The kids had forgotten how fun a new baby is.  When we got the their house on Saturday and had hung out for awhile they wondered what else we were going to do.  I told them, we sit and watch the baby.  That is their entertainment.  It took them awhile but they got into it.  Henry was able to calm Sven down and put him to slept.  Lizzy helped change diapers and Thomas gave him toys.  

Sunday was awesome.  Peter did a great job blessing the baby.  Jess looked beautiful in her dress.  

Look at that cute family.  Sven has an amazing spirit about him.  

 Later that day, we decided to let the kids go swimming.  Yes, the old mom and dad--on the side line and the fun aunt and uncle are in the water.  And of course I babysat Sven!!!!

We had a wonderful time hanging with Pete and Jess and little Sven plus grandma and grandpa!!!!!!
