Tuesday Thoughts

I try to do too many things in one day, in one hour, in one minute. I need to learn how to slow down and enjoy the things that I am doing and the things I have in my life. I have the most amazing child, a wonderful extended family, a good job, a nice car, a roof over my head, food on the table, and many other things that I take for granted.

Sine it is almost October and the holiday season will be starting soon I figure blogging will be a slow process. We are moving this week, just into a little bit bigger apartment, which will be so nice. I am hoping that we can declutter a little bit with this move and begin to enjoy being home more!

Thats all the thoughts for this minute.

..J u n ior Ranger? What?

If you have ever been near a National Park with Hank then you know all about the Junior Ranger program. On the way home from the first trip to Perkins, we stopped at Craters of the Moon. A fun National Park in Idaho. Hank became a Junior Ranger while there visiting. Complete with being sworn in and getting a badge. Video below of him being sworn in. He had to complete three things, one was the hike up the hill, another was to pick up three pieces of trash (they gave him a bag), third was to see another one of the sights. Bonus was that when we got back to the buildings they were sitting outside with the stuffed animals and so he completed a third thing. I am so PROUD of him and how seriously he took his swearing in. He KNOWS he has to obey the park rules, never take anything from a park and to leave it cleaner then when he arrived.

NOW the goal is to complete a whole bunch more parks before he turns 12....

...Camp Perkins..1st Trip..June 09

Tuesday Thoughts

So I am actually posting on a Tuesday so figured I would do the Tuesday thought post (that I only kept up with once!)

How would you feel if you were the chosen parent to go speak to your childs teacher? This was me today. While I stressed a little about it today at work and wrote down a whole list of things that parents wanted me to discuss with her, the meeting went remarkeably well.

My main thoughts today are simply...I need to learn how to say NO and that I am too busy already.

as promised...the 1st update...

Cast was removed on June 11th....just in time for camping with Grandma Janet at Jordanelle that weekend. AND in time to fully enjoy his first trip to Summer Camp.
