I'm always amazed when I look back over our month of photos at just how busy we have been. I really shouldn't be. If you looked at my calendar you would see that it is crammed full with piano, art, and horseback riding lessons; Scout, 4H, and church activities; soccer practice, as well as plenty of family time. March was just as busy as every other month, and as always seems to be the case, Scouts and 4H kept us hopping.
 |
| We kicked off our month with a clean up day at the Boy Scout quanza hut. The hut hasn't been used in many, many, many years but we hope to start using it as our meeting place soon so on Saturday, March 1st we all gathered to start cleaning out and cleaning up! |
 |
| At our March 4H meeting, Jesse presented his second report of the year. His first one back in October was on wolves. This time he was inspired by our trip to Callaway to talk about birds of prey. He worked really hard on his speech and his posters and did an awesome job! |
 |
| Saturday, March 8th brought us the Annual 4H Chicken Show. The boys friend, Mason, spent the night with us on Friday night, so he showed one of our hens too. All three of our chickens won...Jesse won "Longest Tail Feather", Trey won "Prettiest Chicken", and Mason won "Smallest Hen". They were all so proud! |
 |
| One of the things that Jesse had to do to earn his Wolf Patch in Cub Scouts was to plan and cook an outdoor meal. So after the chicken show we gathered at Papa & Ahyee's so he could grill us some hamburgers. They were so tasty and he had a blast making them...although he did get a little impatient with how slow the grilling process is. |
 |
| In order to advance to the next level in Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts, both boys had to learn the proper way to raise and lower the flag, how to properly fold the flag, as well as other flag etiquette. Therefore, on Tuesday, March 11th, we gathered at the Veteran's Memorial to practice, practice, practice. |
 |
| We also kick off Upwards Soccer season in March and Jesse couldn't wait to start playing. This is his third year and you can really tell that he's improving. He was extremely tired at his first game on Saturday, March 15th because he, Trey, and Daddy had spent Friday night camping with the Scouts, but he still played hard! |
