Halloween 2013

Scott at the ward party ready to break open one of the individual pinatas Marshall made. He made 94. Yeah, don't ask. He promised this would be the last year he made them.

 Marshall and I were in charge of Scott's class party at school. We decorated and played games, had lots of treats and a big pinata for the class. They loved it and thought it was the best party they've ever had.

 I also had a Halloween party for my swim group. They had a lot of fun and were so glad they didn't have to get in the pool for once and do a workout.  Again we had lots of treats to go along with the pigs in blankets.

Turning 40

Scott took these pics on my iphone. The flames from the candles were awfully bright this year. I must say that I wasn't excited about turning 40, but I did make myself a great dinner. Brisket, mashed potatoes, cole slaw and cornbread. I ended it with a perfectly baked key lime cheesecake. They actually had key limes at the grocery store so it was extra yummy. I got an arm band for my iphone and new head phones that Samantha and Amy are not allowed to steal from me, and a new running outfit. That Saturday we went to Ruby River with my family. Amy and I split some prime rib and I got a cute new outfit from my parents and siblings. Everything I needed. So, even though I'm 40 I will be stylishly dressed whether going out or running. I'm running faster right now than I ever had and a lot further too, but I still don't think i'll attempt another marathon. But that's in the future. I think for now I'll just enjoy where I am.

Scott received his Webelos badge

He also earned his Arrow of Light, but since Marshall couldn't be there, they decided to wait until the next pack meeting to give it to him. He's pretty excited.
