Trailblazer Day Camp
"I have this emergency kit... it has a black trash bag and you can use if when it rains so you don't get wet. I also have this tin foil and you can put it in the fire and use it and it will warm up."
Later that day at the very sight of a rain drop, Dallin ran inside and grabbed his emergency kit. He ripped open the baggie, unfolded the giant garbage bag and put it over his head.
Another highlight was the bar of soap that they whittled (Dallin said, "look what I widdoed").
What was their favorite part of the day? Dallin and Logan both said "BB shooting!" (Logan was excited to tell me it was a 5050 rifle)

Our New Family Member
Can we have a dog?
Mom, when do you think we could get a dog?
How much would it cost to get a dog?
I promise I would take care of it!!
I promise to scoop the poop!
This was a recurring subject of Logan and Dallin. When do you think we could get a dog? I think they knew it wasn't in the near future, but they never gave up hope. It wasn't until James called one night explaining that there was a family that was trying to find good homes for their three dogs. After much thought, viewing pictures, we decided to take the plunge. We told the kids we were going to "look" at a dog and have her come stay with us for a couple of days to see how she did. They were ecstatic!! We went to James' work to meet and pick up Belle. She definately was a cute dog and we were surprised to see how mellow she was. After about a half an hour, we loaded her up in our car and took her home.
We are now on day 4 and Belle has attached herself to Logan. She goes wherever he goes. Logan loves to read to Belle and takes her on 2 or 3 walks a day (since he is off track).

To the Emergency Room again
Stroh Ranch Anthology Dolphins
Dallin decided he wanted to be a part of swim team this year. So, we signed him up despite the fear that he may not make it down to the other end on his own. After the first meet, he was a pro. No stopping him... he could make it down the pool both on his front and on his back.
