Thursday night I went with my good friend Troy to see Star Trek at the IMAX in Salt Lake, WOW what a great movie that was!!!
Friday was the Webelo's camp with Rylan. One of the requirements that he had was to sleep in a tent that he helped pitch, and he did a bang-up job putting up his tent.
Rylan did a great job with his patrol, he was sort of took charge. I was very happy to watch him just get involved. We slept through a rather cold night, and started the next day doing classes so he could earn a few awards.
Rylan was the "Victim" in First Aid.
Learning to tie "Hitch" style knots.
Learning about leverage and then winning a "Tug-of-War" against 10 other scouts.
I think Rylan's favorite part was the "Engineering" station where he got to walk across a rope bridge.My favorite part was seeing the smile on my cute little boy's face, and spending time together!
MOTHER's DAY
Sunday we celebrated Mother's Day by going to the Little America Brunch with Bruce and Lisa. It Pays to know the right people. Bruce had helped the Little America chef on Friday, so we go to bypass the 2 hour line and get right in. They put on a WONDERFUL spread. The kids stayed home with Boone and Sydney, so it was a nice treat to just be with grown ups!
When we got back we were going to visit visit my Mom and Dad, but before we could go Rylan made us watch this movie he had made in school. I was AMAZED!
When we finally got to my parents poor grandpa got run ragged by the kids, and Kylee talked him into driving the 4-wheeler. Grandma and Grandpa also got a new dog.
From there we headed up to Norm & Julie's. There the kids rode in the wagon and played with Jace and Brooklyn who showed up with Tiff & Trev.
A busy, but good, Mother's Day. I hope my beautiful wife someday truly understands just how much I love her, and what a wonderful mom she is to our children. She's a pillar of strength in our family and our children will be the best they can be because of her and what she has done for them!

I have got to say that you guys know how to pack in the activities on the weekend. By the time Friday comes all I want to do is crawl into bed and sleep! The kids look like they really enjoy the Moo Shin Kwan and it looks like a great way to stay active.
I have to agree with Angie, you guys perhaps besides Nate & Ang seem to be the busiest family on the block! I can't wait for Aubree to get older so that we can go camping with her like that. I am a bit weary of the tent action just now :)
How fun! I'm so excited for Jace to be old enough to do campouts with the kids.
Rylan...you are amazing! I loved your video!
