blogger bothers me!

so i tried to post the last picture on Sunday. Today is the 1st day that blogger actually LET me upload the picture. It is so frustrating. I have googled this problem, seems to me that there are a lot of people out there, that also encounter this problem, and they have yet to get any feedback from blogger. LAME!

The cutest Bear on the planet!!!!

and quite "fashion forward" don't you think, I mean really. Who else do you know who has the creativity to wear a tie, duct-taped to his pirate-themed shirt? This is a one-of-a-kind artistic fashion creation!!!

Pack 468


first attempt, no good....
success!!!
the "be silly/crazy/funny for the camera" pic.

this is the  boys' reward for REALLY trying hard to "smile nicely" in the previous picture!
I find it hilarious that the scout in the green coat....when told to "do something crazy" for the camera turns to my kid and gives him a big ol' hug! The picture doesn't do it justice, watching it take place in person was HYSTERICALLY funny!!! So Bear didn't get to make a funny face, because he was so surprised by the spontaneous display of cRaZy affection from his friend and fellow scout! ah, you gotta love silly boys!

Our lenten fast...

As a posse, we, (Mommy, Bear & Simey)  have decided to give up going out to eat. So here are a couple of pics of the boys at our Shrove/Fat Tuesday celebratory "last supper" at Red Robin.
After we ate, and the boys enjoyed "bottomless steak fries", we then attending the Jazz Mass @ St. Marks. It was a lovely high energy service. Followed by a fellowship time with a seemingly never ending table of "sinful desserts".
We are now ready to enter the Lenten season....starting with Ash Wednesday tomorrow. Followed by many delightful & enjoyable home cooked meals and Soup Suppers on Wednesday evenings!!!

afterschool fitness...

The boys are participating in twice weekly session of afterschool fitness. We have decided that as a family to participate in Bloomsday 2011.  We are going to join the 50,000+ people in the 35th running of the Lilac Bloomsday Run. AND, the exciting news, is that our friends from Oregon are coming to join us. YAY!!!

Mountain Melodies


 MY boys are SO handsome!!

The boys are part of their school choir - Mountain Melodies.
Last year Austin got to sing with his group, Solar Energy at the mall, & this year is the boys' turn!
They sang 3 songs and then did their Summit School chant!
The choir did a great job!
