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!!

Hey everyone!! Well tonight is the night the kids have been waiting for. CANDY CANDY CANDY!! We finally carved our pumpkins last night and here are some windows into our fun time doing it. Sarah, Jimmy and Cameron were big fans of getting there hand as gooey as possible!! Dustin not so much! He cried!! It was lots of fun anyway. I love Halloween. We also had fun at the kids school today with a parade and a class party. Dustin and I went in with Cameron's class. All the kids were so cute! Well happy haunting tonight!!!!

Today is my birthday!!! I am officially 31 years old. Man how the time has flown!! I am going to eat cake and ice cream tonight and watch a movie with the kids. Troy is out of town so we will probably do something fun this weekend to celebrate. My sister sent me these pics from my birthday when I was a cute little girl. I am not sure how old I was but I am guessing around 4 years old.

Well Jimmy's baptism was a great success!! We had a large amount of family come and watch him be baptised. It was so awesome!! I loved to see all the little kids gather at the front of the font and watch. Brother Webber was the representative from our bishopric. Sunday morning he made a comment during sacrament meeting how awesome it was that there were 6 kids being baptised and when our ward was called for there turn to go almost the entire room was emptied!!! Thanks to everyone who helped with lunch. It turned out so nice. We got some fun family pictures to.


Thank for everyones support!!!
