Wednesday

Nicole, Kelli, Catherine Nance and I made  quick trip to Round Top! The kids were excited to see Gus and Wilson when they got home from school! 

The Blakes

Lydia's costume came and she wanted a picture with her fellow dog friend Gus!

Scouts

Crazy night! Trent had football, Grant had soccer! 

Grant was the Master of Ceremonies for Pack Meeting. He took his cleats off and didn't have shoes.

Grant needed to teach a song at Pack Meeting and chose Bill Grogan's Goat! We printed it off a cub-scout website, so I did not proofread it! Grant liked the song in Let's Play Music.  I was in the back talking to Trent (who had just arrived from his game and was hustling to the chapel for the Court of Honor) when people were laughing hard.  This was a different version of Bill Grogan's Goat! Bill chopped off his head and the goat went to heaven.  I was super embarrassed but we all laughed! They were teasing that we were giving kids nightmares! It was quite graphic!

Trent ranked up and got a bunch of Merit Badges!

The Hunt

Blake and Dad went Dove Hunting with Nate Fort and crew!

Bensen, Blake and Rocko

Trent went on a Scout Campout. Grant, Lydia, Apryl  and Luke Horton and I met the Benefields at Chik-Fil-A and hit Boondocks.

Cool Dudes

Grandpa sent this me:

Austi: Hey Blaker one nine how do you start this thing? 

Blaker: Well I really don't know Austi, but Grandpa is coming so we better change the subject.

Austi: Do you think this will really help us get chicks when we are older?

Blaker: Why wait?

Grandpa John is 70

Blake and I surprised Grandpa John for his birthday! It was so much fun, we met him at Bonsai and shocked him! He parked right by us, so Blake and I ducked down! We could hear him right next to our doors but he didn't see us!  It was awesome! Grandma texted to let us know when to walk in. 

 Blake got to swim!

Josh sent me this picture of the house.

Saturday we had a picnic with the Becker's, Johnson's and Grandma! Johnson's took a break from packing to see us! (Heading to NC)
