Becci Came Back , originally uploaded by GraMomBo . Becci Stuver Swinton, our long time friend and Noah's former tutor, came visiting from California today. She flew out to surprise her sister Laura, also a long time friend, tutor, and Noah's Kindergarten teacher. Laura has been fighting cancer for more than a year. I loose track of time it could easily be almost two years. Laura was just released from the hospital where she had been for four weeks. She has had two rounds of chemo/radiation but the cancer is resistant to treatment so surgery was next. This is very sad news but we are very blessed to know the Stuvers and to have Becci come and see us.

DSC01060 , originally uploaded by GraMomBo . Today I took my 8-9 year old activity day girls to day camp at the Jeremiah Johnson Cub Scout Day Camp. They had a space theme where we shot rockets, and learned about astronauts. It was fun but I'm glad we're done. Little girls can sure crank up the decibels.

Camping Again , originally uploaded by GraMomBo . It's easy to see how much Noah has grown the last few years when he's next to the scouts. Noah is the official scout camp mascot. I'm pretty sure this is his fifth scout camp.

Smokin' Hot , originally uploaded by GraMomBo . After his week at Camp K Noah got a haircut and shave. He looked so good I thought I'd share.

Comin' Home From Camp K , originally uploaded by GraMomBo . As you can see Noah is all smiles just like his counselors at Camp K. Noah is holding his camp award-the "sharkbait-ooh ha ha" award because apparently that is what he said most this week. On the way home from camp we stopped at the BSA office and pick up a new uniform for Noah so he will be ready for another week of camping Monday. Lucky guy!

Owlz for the 4th , originally uploaded by GraMomBo . Enjoying the 4th of July at the Owlz game. Jackson slept through the whole thing. Even the fireworks.
