Me and the boys at the Harlem Globetrotters in Green Bay at the Resch Center. We had a realy good time. The show was fun and entertaining to say the least!

Show off! Tyler being cool!


Showing off his red marker on his new Harlem Globetrotters lanyard is Justin and, Tyler with his wrist bands that have now been on over 24 hours.


At the Harlem Globetrotters!!!!!!



Joshua playing with his train track - see the snow!!!!


"Tony Hawk Rocks!"



Tyler opening his Tony Hawk official fanclub kit!


Pictures of us together are rare. Enjoy! This is me and Sky at John and Jennifers on Christmas day. Tammy took the pic - thanks Tammy.



Joshua offering to share his new Geo Track with Tyler.


Joshua busying himself with his new roundhouse.


Justin really didn't want to look up from his heavy stash of Yu-Gi-Oh cards to smile for this pic. Needless to say he was preoccupied - and happily so!


Tyler was very pleased with the selections Santa saved for him. He got some Yu-Gi-Oh cards in a heavy duty case, Ben 10 (something or other), a rock tumbler, a music stand, a game, and probably a couple things I have forgotten.


So upon Santa's knee when asked what he wanted for Christmas Joshua told Santa, "A white car."

This is the prized 'white' car (it's actually silver and although he knows his colors we won't get fussy over the difference between silver and white). He was thrilled!



Makin' cookies for Santa!


Merry Christmas!

No words are needed here. You get the picture.

P.S. Anyone interested in a cat??



In front of a window that allows you to view the recycling process. This is recycling that was collected and needs to be sorted.


Viewing the sorting room, I guess you could call it that. Belts, shakers, pulley's - neat to watch!


At the recycling plant - this is their training room, I guess. It was really kind of neat and they had a lot of examples and visual effects for the kids.

Several weeks ago Justin went to Baird Creek. Their task was to work on sensory details. Below is the poem that Justin wrote based on his experience there. He got really good comments from his teachers and I think he did a fantastic job!


I hear a spider in that dark hole

I see the spider web

The air is fresh

Fungus fells like a banana peel

Fungus yellow black orange

I see little bugs crawling through their tunnels

Moss like fur on a grizzly bear

Tyler practicing his guitar. He started lessons last Tuesday.


Tyler and his turkey!


Leaving Sesame Street Live - right outside the Packer's stadium. It started to snow!


Sesame Street Live - 2007 at the Resch Center


Joshua at Sesame Street Live!


Bon fire at the pack meeting held at the Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary. They were singing a lot of silly songs and it was really fun. I especially like the new version of Glory, Glory, Hallelujah:

I wear my pink pajama's in the summer when it's hot, I wear my flannel nighty in the winter when it's not. And sometimes in the Spring and in the Fall I slip beneath the covers with nothing on at all.

Glory, Glory, Hallelujah; Glory, Glory, what's it to ya? Glory, Glory, Hallelujah. Sometimes I sleep with nothing on at all!

(I hope I got all the words right.) Cute, huh?



Presenting the flag at the Pack Meeting


Study packet on the flag. I learned some things I didn't know - like a flag cannot fly at night unless it's lit up and that the American flag must always be on top if more than one flag is hanging.


Justin's den meeting - practicing presenting the flag


Tyler and Ascher

Tyler showing his rock collection - it's one of the requirements. (keeping a collection - not necessarily rocks.) It wasn't enough to keep the kids occupied while the cookies baked. But, they had a blast in the hall way!


Almost done.


Baking cookies at cub scouts. We're now with the Aldo Leopold pack. We had a really good time.


The LOOT!


Awww! Ain't he cute!?


Joshua, Justin, and Tyler (he's hard to see because he's all in black - but, his eyes glow red!)


Justin, Ben, Joshua, and Ben


Joshua at the Zoo Boo


Justin, Ben, and Cody


The motley crew at the Zoo Boo: we have Joshua the Skeleton, Megan as the corpse bride, Maddie the witch, Matthew the firefighter, Justin the Crypt Master, Tyler the Phantom, Ben the purple Phantom, and Cody the Reaper - and if I didn't get the ghouls correct - oh well.

Bag of trash boys collected back in Baird's Creek.

Remember walking on empty soup cans and handles with thick yarn?

"Let me OUT!"


Stool covers I made


A bookcase cover I made out of left over fabric


Justin and Tyler after collecting food bags - we then took them to Lambeau Field to drop off.


Justin trying to sleep on Ascher's bed. As you can see Ascher isn't too happy to share.


Treats I made for the boys pack meeting (that got cancelled due to a tornado watch).
