Simple Pleasures: October 2014
http://myboysjoys.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 26, 2014. A trip to Panama Rocks has been on my list for a while and today was the last day of the season, so. We dragged Grandma and Grandpa W out to the middle of nowhere and it was spectacular! While there were huge rocks just like we saw at Rock City, this place was different. Maybe it was the time of year? The leaves were way past peak, but there was still enough to give us a great fall day. Check out the crack in the rocks. One wrong step and you could be in serious trouble. I was a...

Simple Pleasures: Cub Scout Camp
http://myboysjoys.blogspot.com/2015/07/cub-scout-camp.html
Saturday, July 18, 2015. It has been a while since I've blogged, but I've got to document this. Last weekend was Tyler's last year at Scouthaven as a cub scout. And, it was Ryan's first year as a camper. I got the full experience too this year since we didn't want to diminish either of their experiences by forcing 1 to do the others activities. 4 days and 3 nights. The pack met on Friday morning at Tim Hortons and off we went. Here is Ry showing off our messy accommodations. Dan and Ty were in the tent n...

Simple Pleasures: December 2014
http://myboysjoys.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 7, 2014. Once in a rare while you find real magic. Yesterday was that day for me, the boys, Grandma W, Uncle Dave, Owen and our friend Nathan. We got up early and piled into the car for the long ride to the North Pole! We finally arrived and they weren't disappointed. There really was a pole of snow. They found a hidden slide in the back of the toy shop. This is the chapel where the elves marry. Ryan would like to know why elves marry. Can anyone answer that question for me? Then it was ...

Tuesday, February 12, 2013. Saturday, January 26th was the long awaited Pinewood Derby. This was Tyler's 2nd Derby, but first time attending at a local mall. Dan coordinated the event for our pack and I assisted with recruiting volunteers to work the event as well as leading them during the actual event. Suffice it to say, it was a very busy day. Isn't this track slick? So much better than last year! Here is Tyler's car getting ready for a run down the track. He's already looking forward to the next Derby.

Simple Pleasures: November 2013
http://myboysjoys.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 10, 2013. How many times do you have cake when you turn five? Five, of course! 1 First, we spent some time with Aunt Donna on birthday eve! Checked out the colored flames on the candles! This boy thoroughly enjoyed his birthday celebrations. He tells me he grew an inch the night between four and five. Of all the candle blowing opportunities, I think this is the only one I caught on camera. It makes me a little sad that he doesn't need help anymore. I love this picture. Such excitement.

Simple Pleasures: September 2013
http://myboysjoys.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 8, 2013. Dan and I took a day off at the end of August to take the boys to Niagara Falls. We had never done the tourist thing there so we decided it was time. We literally had to drag the boys kicking and screaming. Such terrible parents we are trying to take them to see a natural wonder of the world. We started with the cave of the winds which wasn't really a cave much to the boys' dismay. They were pretty freaked out by the whole experience. It was a bit intense. By the time we got of...

Tuesday, February 18, 2014. Despite this crazy winter, we just don't have enough snow at home so we hit the road for Grandma and Grandpa W's. we had heard that they were buried. And, we weren't disappointed! Did you see the boys in that picture? I'm betting it is June before all this is melted! Check out the snow on the roof across the street. The boys dug right in. Literally. They had a blast digging and climbing. Check out their tunnel! Ryan claimed this one to be his. Hanging out on the wall o' snow.

Sunday, May 5, 2013. It is finally Ryan's turn to participate in an activity so he's giving soccer a try. And, so far he loves it! This is one of Ryan's favorite friends from pre-school. They just happen to be on the same team. Very exciting. I think this is funny. not sure why. This is one of Ryan's favorite friends outside of pre-school. She's the best kind of friend. a neighbor. And, she should be scared. He's looking pretty aggressive. Fully participating. Love it! Run, run, run. See, very strange mo...
