Father Son Campout

We really don't have any camping gear so we just went for the night time fun. The boys ran around for awile and then the Bishop and others gave messages about the Priesthood. Then we had Smores and Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches.
This first picture was actually quite high.


Henry's Chuck E Cheese Birthday Party

Nathan's Pre-K friend Henry invited his class to a birthday party. Nathan had a lot of fun.



Henry's Birthday Party



At the end there was pizza and cake. They then put Henry in this glass tube thing and locked him in and tickets started flying up for him to grab. He started freaking out and it took a minute for the stupid Chuck E. Cheese worker to dig his keys out of his pocket to let him out. Im just hoping that the kid isn't scared for life.

Mall Ride, Chomp & Stomp and Helping Hands


Friday Night our Ward (church) had a family dance called Chomp and Stomp. It was really fun tons of food which the boys loved and we even got Ben and Nathan to dance with Charlotte. (She did use the this is for Mothers Day guilt trip on them, she milks that for all its worth for as long as she can.)
Saturday our church took part in Mormon Helping Hands which is a yearly things to help out in the community. We repainted fences at different parks.

Ben's Basketball Class

Charlotte signed Ben up for Basketball class in yet another horribly mean decision to thwart any attempt to have him grow more intelligent by watching Cartoons on TV and DVD all day. In fact this week Ben's school worshipped a holiday that was almost as silly as Al Gore and Jame's Cameron's Earth Day, the horrible Turn your TV off week. Her and Ben took this challenge on since Ben's school has been brainwashing the kids about it. I was to smart to not fall for that stuff and since Nathan doesn't go to Acacia he and I would watch DVD's while Ben was in school. So Charlotte turned off the TV and at night she would turn on her Nintendo DS and play that in bed for awhile at night (after reading). When the week was over Charlotte made it up to Ben by allowing him to watch 3 hours of Saturday morning Cartoons and 2 and a half of a Justice League DVD. That will teach that brainwashing school to try and make our kids dumb by turning off the TV.





Nathan's Soccer League

Charlotte signed Nathan up for a Soccer league. She volunteered to be team Mom.
