We’ve had lots of little big things happening around here lately.

I found this little girl totally asleep one night IN her laundry basket after having emptied its contents onto the floor.  I don’t know what she has against her bed, but most nights we have to pick her up from off the floor and put her back in her bed. 

We enjoyed our semi annual Conference Crepes at General Conference.

Thank you so much, Reagan, for ruining the picture.  Sigh.

Last week at pack meeting Cade earned his Bear award.

That’s a bear skin hat, not a new hairdo.

And then he demonstrated how to reel in a fishing pole for all the boys.

Levi finally got bloody in a GOOD way this week by losing his first tooth!

Every week it seems Levi is knocking a tooth loose and we’ve been lucky he isn’t toothless by this point.  I’m very glad this one came out naturally.

My friend’s daughter graciously gave Liberty a ton of Barbies and a doll house too!  She has been in heaven for days!  Thank you so much Bethany!

Those of us who have had to help dress the Barbies when it is too hard for Liberty have NOT been in heaven.

We spent a fun afternoon at Aunt Janie’s last week.

Feeding the chickens

Holding the chicks

Wearing a cow pelvis

Riding Horses

The kids absolutely love Aunt Jane’s.  I wish we could get there more often!

Levi started his first season of soccer!

His team is the Dragons.

That’s Levi out in front.  He was all over the ball!

Having big brothers can be a pain some of the time, but it was a definite plus for Levi out on the soccer field.  He really knew what he was doing and was totally fearless.  But I guess that kind of describes Levi with everything.  Fearless.

We were actually late to Levi’s game on Saturday because just before we left, a mother duck and her ducklings wondered into our yard!  We have a small irrigation ditch in our neighborhood and we think that’s where they came from. 

Eventually she made her way back out again.  I hope they found their way home again.
