Boy Scouts

Ryan has reached a remarkable acheivement this weekend... He earned his Arrow of Light Award and crossed over to become a Boy Scout! For those of you unfamiliar with scouting, this is the only award earned as a Cub Scout that can be worn on the Boy Scout uniform. We are very proud of all his accomplishments!



Over the past few weeks Ryan had become pretty discouraged with scouting and had decided that he wanted to quit, now that he finished Cub Scouts. Fortunately, after listening to some of the Boy Scouts in his new Troop, Ryan has decided to give Boy Scouts a try. We told him that he could quit after trying it, if he decides that he isn't enjoying the adventure.

On a side note, Hailey will be having surgery in the morning to put tubes in her ears. Hopefully, this will be the end of the reocurring ear infections. She has been so miserable with them.

I know that it has been forever since I have written. I unfortunately have felt that there has been nothing of note to write about. I am still working at my job with the Exceptional Family Member Program here on base. Joseph is finishing up his school to be an instructor. The kids are doing well and enjoying school. We have set goals for ourselves to get out of the house more often on the weekends, so hopefully we will begin to have fun stuff to write about again.
