Let's get it started....

Well it's time to get another thing STARTED......Tye is our first at everything and now we have officially entered the world of Cub Scouts. Wes & I were very disappointed when we found out that they church does not have a scout program because there are not enough boys, so luckily we found a program through school. At first I was really Leary about him joining the pack but Wes took him the first night and I took him on Tuesday, and he was really excited and there are quite a few boys from his class at school. They learned about nutrition and cooking and he had a blast, they learned how to dutch oven tin foil dinners, so tonight he is going to START teaching us how to make them. The problem with Tye is he wants all the badges right now, he looks at his book everyday and STARTS naming every badge he wants. (Let's hope this keeps up until we have his eagle!)
I have to keep Tye busy or he goes crazy, nevertheless we START many different activities throughout the year. Right now he is also in flag football and his doing so well. He's all into "juking" as he calls it. He's always plays Quarterback or Receiver but last game they put him in as running back and he did AWESOME! He even scored a touchdown and a 2 point conversion, his goal for today his to catch a kick off return and run it back for a TD...he's watching too much sports center with his dad! (Maybe a bad habit to START) This is also the first week he hasn't been golfing, that's his new love, he's practicing for when Uncle Travis comes to visit, he's determined to beat him! I've also signed his up for Basketball camp which he will be STARTING on Saturdays in November and the league will START in December. With Tye it's not a matter of what time of the season it is, it's what sport is next. If he could playing everything at once he would. Everyday he's ready to START something new, even last night it was 8:00 and he talked Wes into STARTING a game of Battleship, I watched for minute and realized, he has the energy to START anything any where, any time and any place...I'd love to have his ambition!

(I just had to come back and edit my post because He Did It! Today at his game he finally had his first kick off return for a touchdown, he also threw a 15 yard pass for a touchdown and ran it in for a touchdown, I know I shouldbe more humble but it's so fun to see your children do so well, what a great day!!!!)

Sounds like life is good. I have to say it can be really hard not to write and talk about your kids when they do well. Seth played starting offense and defense the first 3 quarters of the game thursday and didn't play 4th because they were up 32 to 0. YEAH!!! he had an amazing game. I know I can brag to you. Miss ya tons
