Twilight Camp 2011

I love my Boys and they loved Scout Camp therfore I love Scouting ;)

Deveon is our newest Wolf Scout...His first order of business after he turned 8 was to go to Twilight Day Camp...He loved it!

Dalen now a Bear loved hanging with his friend Steven at all the different rotations...Steven and his family moved away a week before we did this summer :(

Dalen and Deveon shooting rubberband guns...These were way fun!

Weird Carts that the boys had to work together to race...

Indoor craft time ;) Rain Sticks...

The last day we had pizza with our Pack and they had a fun water slide ;)

Dalen took Noah down twice...This is the second time going down and he didn't like it as much as the first time...??? ;)

Last Day at Elk Grove Elementary

Little did we know this was their last day officially at Elk Grove Elementary...We have really loved the time we had at this school...We have made some fun friends and will always remember the Kindergarten Circuses! Dalen was an Elephant, Deveon a Tiger and Lexi was the Ring Mistress...Dalen was lucky enough to have a Kindergarten teacher Mrs. Weinstock whom was well known in our community as being an amazing teacher and had by many people from around town! She was amazing! She retired that year but my kids would occasionally get her as a sub every now and then. I was able to be an art docent one year and helped out at some of the fun events they had and helped in their classrooms occasionally. EGE was a great school and will be missed! GO EAGLES!

Aladdin Kids Musical

This year Dalen was cast as a Head Guard and this time he was given more lines and stage time...He was really good and loud. He made a great guard! I worked back stage again helping the kids on and off with their props and cues. I also helped the costume director with making all the hair accessories, Jasmine's crown, feathers for the turbins on the boys, and all the hair-styles...It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed getting to know more of the moms this year ;)

The Cast of Aladdin Kids Musical

Dalen as Head Guard

'Yes, Jafar!'

'Seize him!...Get lost, street mouse before I chop your tail off!...I have strict orders from Jafar, Princess...It's the chopping block for you boy, Move It!...'

These are a few scene clips I was able to get from the sidelines backstage. Dalen's lines are above...My favorite part was the 'Prince Ali' song entrance...

Aladdin and Jasmine singing 'A Whole New World'

Jafar and Iago

Our First Pinewood Derby

Dalen with 'The Tank'

Should the cubmaster's son have won? Yes...

...Did Josh and I really know what we were doing? No...and Dalen blames us for coming in last...

I thought his was the cutest one there---but I guess this isn't a cutesy pageant...

Next year we are coming full force

I explained to him that night that since he was our guinea pig kid he would need to be patient with us and that by the time Noah has his pinewood derby race, his race car would kick-butt! --with Dalen's help of course...That made him feel better ;)

Don't you love Lily 'eating her finger' as Noah says...

Dalen is Baptized

Dalen with Daddy and Grandpa Miles

What a wonderful night for Dalen...we had so many friends from the ward come and support Dalen on his big day...Even grandparents on both sides came out to be there for him...

Dalen said:

"it was great but a little scary at first"

Cross Country 5k and 1 mile

Josh ran his 10K using this as his training for his marathon in November and I ran my first 5K and didn't die! It was great to have worked for something and see it through to the end...I will continue running throughout my pregnancy and maybe do another 5K soon!
