In April Lauren was in the Miss Sylvan Beach Pageant...I got to drive her in the parade which was so fun! The day was so long and hot but in the end so worth it! She got 2nd runner up and a scholarship. VERY HAPPY MOMMA!

During the weeks of pageant rehearsal she also found her college roommate. I am so excited for these two to grow together and to move in together. We have known her for years but they are total opposite and have nothing in common. I think this will help out with them living together. I am so excited for them both.

Nick recently joined cub scouts. We have been looking for something that is just right for him....non competitive but fun and something he will enjoy and grow with. I guess since everyone says he should play football I am trying everything to avoid it! So we went to our first meeting, we LOVED IT! Oh wait NICK loved it! They included him in everything right from the start. The boys all sat and played marbles while the parents explained everything to us. We left the meeting very excited and ready for the big balloon fight!

We all took coolers full of water balloons to the next meeting. LOTS AND LOTS of balloons!

The boys had so much fun.

The first night when Nick played marbles..he was earning a belt thingy. Yes I said a belt thingy because I have no idea what it is called.
