Jimmy had his first pack meeting!!! YEAH!! He was able to get his Bobcat patch (and I got a Bobcat mom pin!). He is now officially a Wolf. He is doing so great and has already passed of several achievements. He is so close to getting his first silver arrow, only two achievements away! He is very motivated to earn some more for next time. Some of the other boys earned belt loops and Jimmy says he would like some of those to, but first he needs a belt. His leaders are really great people and I am so glad to have them.

Pomegranate Jelly

A team of helpers and me made pomegranate jelly yesterday. Grandma and Grandpa Merrill came over early yesterday morning to help me. We made a huge mess of the kitchen and had lots of fun. We soaked the pomegranates and then cut them in half and took the seeds out. Then we cleaned them really good and put them in a juicer. What a fun time!! It went pretty well but one time the juicer got off balance from the pulp build up and it started swinging around and making juice go every wear! It took Grandma and me to get the darn thing under control. Even Dustin got in on the fun!

We ended up with 39 jars of jelly!!! It is so yummy!!! They are such a pretty color to!!
