Float like a butterfly....Sting like a bee

Logan started BOXING....I still have to pause and gulp before I say that. It's a requirement for his karate belt. I was reassured over and over again that they NEVER fight against each other...just practice on the bags etc.

Logan loved his first lesson (is it called a lesson in boxing???) However, I think he was even more excited about his green handwraps and new boxing gloves.

A Beautiful Sunflower Day

This past weekend we helped Finish Chelsea's Run. It was a beautiful day for a wonderful purpose.

DJ Cade

Apparently there is such thing as a Sony store...we went there...looked a lot like the Apple store but with more fun video games, like DJ Hero (I think that's what it's called) Caden was ALL OVER IT!

Shawn was very proud!

Our Future Famous American

Benjamin Franklin 24/7 for the last few weeks, at least if Logan had his way, in preparation for his report. The day it was assigned, we immediately had to stop at the library and check out nearly every book he could find. He read the encyclopedia at Grandma and Grandpa's and downloaded photos from the internet. Logan's teacher went out of her way one afternoon at pick up to let me know how impressed she was with Logan's research and depth of knowledge about good ol Ben. Our dinner conversations revolved around how electricity works and the purpose of lightning rods. Then the day finally arrived...the Second Grade Famous American Report Presentation...

He did a FANTASTIC job!! They also decorated a pre-made paper doll to go along with their speech. It's a little hard to tell in the photo, but Ben is holding a kite in one hand and the Declaration of Independence in the other.

To celebrate this historic event, I made Ben Franklin $100 jello for dessert!! It was a BIG hit!!

now, to find an excuse to use this mold again...would a money themed birthday party be to presumptuous?!?

Random thoughts by Caden that will probably send me to the nut house.

Along with his random photographs...

That shirt is too stripey. That one is too shippy. Too Reddy. I can only wear R2-D2 today.

I wanna go to the park with the horseys. The big horsey with a steering wheel and a pirate ship too. And two red things. (not a clue what park he's talking about!)

Nod your head and close your eyes, You will get an oatmeal surprise!

What does NO start with?

The letter N
