Cub Scouts

We enrolled Kyle into Cub Scouts this year, starting in September. He has done some really neat stuff, in September he went on a family camp out, his dad joined him in that. Brooklyn and I came out during the day to visit. In this picture he is holding his walking stick that he made, it has feather's attached to it as well. The fancy flashlight is one of the things he purchased from the scouts store in Lethbridge. His Uncle Dave gave him money for his birthday to spend there. Scouts has been so great for Kyle, he has been promoted to the sixer of his group. So they split the kids up into groups, each group has an adult leader and there is one child who is leader of the group as well. He has shown that he has good leader qualities in him. It's been so good for Kyle and his Dad, Brad has become a leader in scouts, it's such a fun thing for him and Kyle to do together. Next year Kyle is wanting to be enrolled into Army Cadet's, we are encouraging him to do what he likes, as long as he follows through with the entire year. We both are so very proud of him.

Time Flies

Wow, one more month and Brooklyn will be one year old. She's changed so much, she has become a little comedian, taking any chance she can to be funny. She loves to be naked, if she gets a little cranky, we just strip her down and then she's all better. It's so funny, she's getting much better at not peeing all over the place too...lol. We've been through different periods with her, from 2-6 months old she slept so good, 11-13 hours a night, napped well ~ then at 6 months that wasn't the case no more, we were back to late night feedings, not wanting to sleep at all. Oh it was so stressful. Then for a few months she couldn't be out of sight of me, she had to be attached to me at all times or the world would come to an end for her. But now she's totally different, sleeping all night again, playing on her own in her room and almost walking. She has taken 4 steps all on her own, and she can walk beside you only holding onto one hand. Pretty soon she'll be running.

It's so bittersweet to watch her grow up so fast. I am enjoying every moment of it, and I wouldn't change any of it.

Puppies!!!

Well Molly had her puppies, 5 all together, and all of them are boys. We gave them all little names, there's Dill, Raphio, Nacho, Shamu, and Gizmo. They are getting so big, 3 more weeks and they will be ready to find new homes. It's so cute to watch Brooklyn "play" with them, well it's more of a yank and a pull, with lots of squeels and slaps. But she loves it, and they don't seem to mind too much. It's so neat so see their little personalities come out, to watch them figure out their place in the pack. It will be hard to let them go, but obviously we can't have 7 dogs here. That would be a bit much.
