Not a cub anymore

Tonight was our Cub Scout Blue and Gold Dinner. The boys received their awards tonight. It was a special night for Noah as he crossed over to Boy Scouts. Mom has been here this week and was able to enjoy the dinner and the program. The last picture is of Noah and Boy Scouts. They take off the Cub Scout stuff and put on the Boy Scout colors.

Not the Chicken Pox!!

well, it was not the chicken pox afterall..what was it?? when Jacob broke out again and then by Thursday of last week Noah broke out we made another trip to the Dr. The Chicken Pox belong in a Viral Family called Viral something something and that family has the chicken pox, measles, 5th disease, shingles and some others..there is a cousin to this family that is called viral something something and that has about 10 different rashes, bumps and looks of the others and that is where we fall. It is contagious only to touch . Jacob has been out of school for two weeks for almost no reason. bummer. Noah thinks he needs to stay home that long too that it is not fair. He can start thinking differently because he is going to school.

Today we are trying to catch up on all of Jacob's school work. let me tell you how fun that is (NOT!!) They have been building Legos for about 4 days due to the fact we thought they were so highly contagious and all we made them stay downstairs. Noah has made a really cool movie and I will try to see how to put it on the blog.

My Mom is here and she has been great help. The Boys school had a program last Thursday night....I had to go but the boys did not get to perform. Tomorrow night is a PTA Banquet that she is going to go with me to. Tuesday Night is the Cub Scout Blue and Gold Banquet. She is getting a full dose of our life.

That should catch you up on our life to date......Dr.Adam don't you like my medical descriptions??

Well, the chicken pox are back or they never really went away....Jacob is on wave 2 of the pox..so another week off school. The picture above is what happens when Obi Won meets the Dark Side in near the window. Just another reason why Mom says Light Sabers outside only!!

It is a busy week here. Hope all of you are having a great week.

Happy Birthday Little Brother

Happy Birthday Doug!! The best Little Brother and Uncle!!

My Surprise....

Valentine's Day is a very busy day at our school. We party all day. PTA provides all the goodies and this year we even had a dance floor. Anyway, it is a long day. I made dinner for my family and put thier Valentine's on the table. I was very surprised to sit down at my place to find a little gold bag from KAY'S. My Three boys went shopping together and picked out a BEAUTIFUL diamond and opal necklace. Surprise!

The Pokemon box is Jacob's. His class had a decorating contest and he won 2nd place. It is full of Valentine's from lots of girls. Noah and his friends are just a little to cool for all this sweetness!!

Happy Monday,

We are expecting rain and colder weather again tonight. Both boys were home from school today. Noah with a "headache"... i guess it was o.k. since his class had a Sub today. The chicken pox is ending up being a "lite" case. Most have cleared up so I am hopeful that He can be back in class on Thursday.

Tonight.....I am headed to Barnes and Noble for a quiet hour and a Venti Black and White Hot Coco from Starbucks.

We made it through the Sock Hop. LOTS of kids. Here is a couple of pics of the "BAD BOYS"
I like the 50's style and think we should go back. I ran the photo booth ( imagine that -- where did I get that hobby from?) Poor Jacob stayed home and itched.

Chicken Pox!!

Yes, Jacob has the Chicken Pox!!! The Dr. said that they see about 3 -4 cases a year even if they had the shot. who knew?? Where did they come from???? Is he the only one at school??? right now. Will Noah get them???We'll know in about 21 days. Jacob thinks it is neat that I had the pox in the 2nd grade and so does he.

So, he got to have a little Lego shopping spree at Target on the way home from the Dr. He needs to stay in at least 7 days. Jacob is sad because he will miss the dance at school tonight and now "his girls" won't be able to ask him to dance. He will probably miss Valentine's Day at school as well.....we will see what a week brings.

Tonight is the Sock Hop at our school. It is a fundraiser for Noah's 5th Grade Space Camp Trip. The Kids are all excited..there will be King and Queen. Alot of the Teachers came to school today dressed up in 50's. Noah is going to wear Mark's letter jacket tonight. Noah was not as excited when he realized Mark's Letter was for Band not Football but even so Noah is excited about dressing up. Noah said, "too bad I didn't borrow Uncle Doug's".

Our Prayers go out to the families in Kirkwood. Doug (my Brother) and I know one the families who lost a loved one.

The picture of Jacob is from Christmas in Kansas. This was the first time he played in snow (he doesn't remember 2003)

Happy Friday!

Books

It is not a secret that I love to read. Noah and Jacob have taken this on as well. So many hours spent at Barnes and Noble. Shelfari is a neat site that I happened to find while "Blog Surfing".

Reading is a personal thing and my choice of books may not appeal to many but I will share them anyway. A book can be special to you because of the things that were happening around you when you read it, Do you remember reading a book that you thought was great just becasue you were relaxed and could enjoy it? Are there books you read that can change your life....your thinking.There are books on my shelf, that Noah and I read together. He is in a Book Club at school so I try to keep up and read what they are reading as well as my own book club choices. Jacob has venteured into chapter books this year and devours them quickly.

Both Boys had their reading test this past week ( o.k. a Blog is where you can brag isn't it??) Jacob (turned 7 last week, in the 2nd Grade --skipped K) is at first semester 4th grade level. Noah is a second semester 10th Grade level.

Share your books with us.

Noah is participating in Leadership Training for Christ (LTC) and they are learning 1st Samuel for the Bible Quiz. What exciting stories to read with young Boys who are all about battles.

Happy Reading!!

Pinewood Derby cars up close.......

Cub Scout Pinewood Derby!!! For the last FIVE years we, The Delashaw Family have been the #1 cars. This year we gladly gave that title to another family. We take pride in our car making. You can't see it to well in the pictures and I'll try to post a closer picture. Noah's car is black and gold with the MIZZOU Tiger across the top. and Jacob's car is a Red Hot Rod with a mean looking wasp on it. There were 27 different cars and Mark help about 18 of the boys cut theirs out. Scouts is winding down for us. Noah will crossover to Boy Scouts later this month.. Having a MIZZOU car in Razorback country was the winning moment!!

Weather --- We are still grounded. The weather last night was horrible and we were in the middle of it all. It blew hard enough at our house to blow the broom off the porch. We were expecting so much more...it was crazy to have all the destruction just miles from us and we basically had nothing.

We have a Sock Hop this Friday so I'll be busy getting that ready. This is to support the 5th Grade Space Camp Trip. I'll post fun pics on Saturday. Mark and Noah are going to Space Camp this year. (I'll only go if one of the women chaperones drops out). They go Alabama to a NASA Camp.

Have a great rest of the day!

We are going to back up into January. Here is Noah on his b-day. We celebrated with his friends and a sleepover. 11 yr. old boys never sleep! They were quiet all night long so it did not bother me. As long as the X-Box 360 held out they were good to go.

Jacob's Birthday continues..... After the Star Wars event Jacob's Birthday money was burning and he had been saving to buy a fish. Alvin joined our family yesterday. He is a Red Beta.

This was Jacob's B-day surprise. we told him and Samuel to dress up and go outside...outside a "REAL LIFE CLONE TROPPER and the TUSKIN RAIDER" was waiting for them. They battled for awhile and all the neighbors came out it was fun to say the least. For a 7 year old who is a HUGE Star Wars Fan this was a perfect afternoon.

This Jacob the life of the party. He turned 7 yesterday (1/31) and we are celebrating all week-end. Tonight is a sleepover with his best Pokemon Friend,Huston and tomorrow is lunch and spend the whole afternoon with his best Star Wars Friend, Samuel. We have a special Star Wars surprise planned so you will have to check back in.

I am just learning how to upload photos and all the other blog stuff. So I may have several post right in a row.

Always a first

Well, there is always a first time......I did it I created a Blog. I know Mr.Brad will be excited. I will learn how to do pictures and blog right so give me time.

Welcome to the life of our family.............We are busy all the time...all the time being busy.
