Tiger Skit

This weekend was Crawford's Blue and Gold Scout banquet. As we have said before, we were so excited when we found out we were having a boy because of sports and scouts. Crawford loves to do. He is constantly wanting to be involved in extracurricular activities. Most of them, of course, are sports. But this year, when it was time to sign up for scouts, he was ready. We have been on a camp out, been to many different go and see its, earned different patches, beads, and belt loops, and much more. The first year scout is a Tiger. They have so many accomplishments they have to do before they can get their Tiger badge. Crawford and his friends worked hard, attending meetings and working on other things and they received their badges Saturday night. It was a great ceremony and fun time and we now have an official "Tiger Scout." This, we hope, is the first of many accomplishments on his way to being an Eagle Scout like his daddy. Thank God for little boys!!

My Valentine

My Valentine

He's a hoot and a half, always the life of the party, and of course sometimes over does it to point of making me crazy, but he is mine.

This picture is from when we went to Alaska for Charlie's wedding two years ago. It amazes me how different he looks when he is not hiding behind the beard he currently has crawling across his face, or the long hair he is growing because that was our deal (grow beard=grow out hair). He is the sweetest, most kind hearted, God loving, God fearing, hardworking, best daddy, best friend a girl could ask for and he's been my Valentine for 13 years now. I could not imagine my life without him and thank God everyday that he is in it and can not wait to see what life has in store for us.

Happy Valentine's Day J Fred. I love you bunches!
