What's Happening Squire's???

So this post is mostly because I am getting ready to make my journal from my blog for the year 2011. So basically this is about what's been happening to the Squire Magnificent 7 since we have moved into our new house. (I have not been very good at blogging since the move). So here we go...

Josh had his 16th birthday. The kids wrote this on our drive way...

( Yes at our house we call Josh, Chosh thanks to Ben, don't tell anyone but Josh likes it)

We had the first day of school... Josh 11th grade, Trav 9th grade, Meg 6th grade, Jake 3rd grade

Jake played soccer, his team the strikers...

Ben had his 5th birthday, his party was all about the movie Cars

Travis had his Eagle Court of Honor

We had a Happy Halloween 2011

As much as I hate the fact the Travis is a trader and is no longer a BYU fan, I did forgive him just this once because he had the most awesome pumpkin this year. He did this all himself no tracing. Don't worry I am back to not forgiving him for being a trader!!!

My little guys got caught reading in dad and mom's bed.

(best place to read according to Jake & Ben)

Travis had his 15th birthday...

(I loved that Trav wanted ice cream sandwiches for his birthday dessert)

Jake got his Wolf in cub scouts. December 7, 2011

It has been a VERY busy half of year. I am really looking forward to next year in hopes that maybe things will slow done if only a little bit I would take it. As much as I love being a mom to my five children, I hate living in my car from the hours of 2:00 pm to 6:00pm daily. So maybe I will organize my life a little better next year. Oh wait that is what I will make as my
goal 2012!!!

Travis' Eagle Court of Honor...

This past Sunday was Travis' Eagle Scout Court of Honor, It was a really neat evening and here are some picture's of this great event...

Here is Travis telling everyone thank you for all the help and support that he has received. Travis wears his heart on his sleeve so it was a little hard for him to talk much. Sometimes it's not all about what you say but what you show....

Travis showing off surprise, surprise...
Travis' favorite merit badges where swimming and wood working. Well I couldn't fit a swimming pool in the church so we went with wood working. These are all the things Travis has made in the past 3 years....

Brian Berlin was Travis' assistant scout master, he said some really great things about Travis you could tell he really loved working with Travis...

Jerry Smith was Travis' scout master, I think it was great that everyone let Jake help and be part of this evening. Jake's favorite thing about himself is that he is a cub scout. Jerry also said some really special things about Travis and how Travis is such a great leader...

Here I am pinning on his Eagle, one of the greatest things as a mom I have done...

Travis gave him mentor pin to Nick Berlin who is serving a mission in Boston. So he wrote a letter and presented it to his parents to give to him. Travis loves Nick as a brother this was a very emotional thing for him, he misses Nick as much as Nick's family does. Brain and Carol mailed this to Nick's mission president with a letter telling him what and why Nick got this. They have asked him to give it to Nick and take picture's for them when he presents it to him....

Bishop Burns swearing Travis in as a Eagle scout...

Again a very emotional event for Travis I love this kid, as wild as he gets sometimes he is a really great young man...

Travis and us very proud parents....

My scouts I love them so much, proud momma moment...

Finally not to leave out Ben here is Jake, Trav & Ben...

So many son's I love it....
