What were you thinking?

I was showing pictures of Adam with Ethan’s Hair glue to the family.(see below) (Note the word GLUE, it was used to make Ethan’s Mohawk look awesome). Spencer thought it was so hilarious that he promptly took Adam in the other room and put peanut butter in BOTH of their hair. I have no explanation as to why he did this, but he did. Spencer was then directed to take Adam with him and go hop in the bath and not to come out until all traces of Peanut Butter was out of their hair. Oh My, REALLY? Speechless on the blog…

Spencer and Adam

Father's and Son's Campout

The day after school got out it was the Father’s and Son’s campout. It was the first year that Adam went. It was rainy all around, but it didn’t rain on the Boys until the middle of the night. They had a blast and came home very muddy. Jordan , Sydney and I had a dry, relaxing evening out to dinner and then home to bed.

Mohawk

Christopher (note: it was Christopher) told Ethan a few months ago that if he grew his hair out he could have a Mohawk the last day of school. Ethan delighted in that idea and could hardly wait. He kept it for a few days, but was told he had to get it cut before Sunday Church.

Ethan's Talent Show

In Ethan’s class, they had an end of year talent show. Ethan loves to perform and was in a few skits. He played the Yellow Submarine and a few chords from some other ‘rock and roll’ songs. He did a great job, and is quite the little performer.

Apple Valley

End of school brought school programs, parties and finals. I think everyone is grateful to have it be summer. For the last couple of school weeks, Jordan’s class pretended it was 1854 and they all lived in a town called Apple Valley. They got new names (Jordan was Molly) and ages (Jordan was 5). They were put into families (the Smiths) and wrote on slates in a 1 room school house. Jordan had 4 brothers and 1 sister (go figure). At the end of school, they have Apple Valley Graduation where you must memorize a poem in order to move on to the next grade. Here is Jordan’s Poem.

Life Scout

Spencer is progressing in scouting. He recently received his Life and will hopefully finish his Eagle Project sometime this summer. He has had great leaders who have encouraged him and given him plenty of opportunity to complete Merit Badges.

Baseball

Spencer and Preston both had a fun baseball season. They both played outfield most of the games, but each got to try his hand at pitching. Pitching is neither one of their favorites, but they did a pretty good job. Although one of them, who will remain anonymous, threw his first pitch to an enormous kid who promptly hit it over the fence.
