This boy loves to write, even when he's taking a break from writing his novel. 

To stay up with Emory's writings, follow him on Instagram.

It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas

Student Council Representative

He did it!  

Emory's peers voted him to be their class student council representative.  

Emory's speech

 Emory was so excited his best class pal was elected, as well.  :) 

Twin Day!

These 5 friends chose a snarky tee for twin day.   Sooooo not my Everett.   :)  Don't be fooled, these boys are so thoughtful and kind. 

Halloween - Scary costumes

We've moved away from cute to creepy Halloween costumes. :-O

First Broken Bone

Well he made it 9 years without a broken bone.   Apparently a green cast makes your injury look way cooler.

First Day of School

1st Science Fair

Does a parachute's material affect the speed at which it falls?

Pinewood Derby Race - Start to Finish

 Another Pinewood Derby race (and Everett's last as a Cub Scout) is in the books!

Everett's car, "The Natural", placed 2nd in his den, 9th in the Pack and he also received the "Judge's Award" trophy.

Emory's car, "The BRD2 Rocket" (Bear.Rank.Den.2) placed 3rd in his den and he also received the "Best Workmanship" trophy. 

Everett's final year in Cub Scouts required an overnight campout with a local Boy Scout troop.  

This campout challenged each boy to "Be Prepared".  Our Scouts learned many valuable lessons, including how to survive in freezing temperatures!  You can imagine how stressed Deona and I were the entire weekend, even so we were very proud how well Everett managed on his own.  He tells us he had a great time bonding with his Arrow of Light Den and made many new friends from Troop 123.
