Football, scouts and campfire

Before I get into the football, scouts and campfire, I have to share with my friends, the news I received from my hearing specialist today. She confirmed that yes,....I am nearly deaf in my right ear. After some really cool tests and noises, we found out that I have only 30% hearing in my right ear. Now I have to decide if I want to keep it that way (great for naps when kids are noisy, just lay on good ear) or possibly have surgery to correct. Any opinions on this matter would be greatly appreciated! Now...back to the real story!
Brennan is extremely proud of this next installment of photos. While Brennan was at football practice, we hung out so that we could take him out of practice early to head over to pack meeting. Here is how Rylan and Mae stayed entertained! Look at that girl, she's a natural!

And then of course......out of all that hay, she finds the one mud spot. Mae is definitely the dirtiest of all my babies. She LOVES to play in the dirt and has so much fun doing it, how can I deny her, her fun?
Tonight was pack meeting for the bear/wolf scouts. We had a potluck dinner and then awards.
Of course as soon as Nora spotted Shane, she had to be up in his arms. Mae and Nora were being so cute, they kept putting their foreheads together and then laughing.

The boys roasted marshmallows and made smores. They had great fun. I started my own game with the kids. "Who can make Katie the best marshmallow game". I was the judge. I ate so many burnt marshmallows, I lost count. Thank you Emma L and Emma R for the "brain crisps and goof crisps" too cute. Emma R informed me that the reason he had marshmallow in her hair was because she wanted to have white hair (Emma is 6) but when I went to put other white materials in her hair such as potato salad and chips, she objected. Good luck with all that Brooke!
Another great Russel moment was tonight when I told Jared that Nathan and I were talking about all of Jareds awesomeness and Jared replied "well, of course". He makes me laugh. Thanks for your clever fun kids Brooke! Always entertaining that family.Here is Hiram (nora's big brother) and Mae just down at the beach. I love the way Hiram is looking at Mae. He is so tenderhearted and sweet with her.


We had an awesome turn out! More people than when it's at the church!
It was a great night, good friends, great food and goodnight!
