Cub Scout Collections and Lego Temples

Braxton and I took a walk today and collected leaves. We decided to mount them to fulfill one of his scouting requirements. Brant, do you remember your kneckerchief slide collection. I just remember that dad went through two or three pieces of glass trying to make the display box for that collection.
Kanyon made this temple with the babysitter's help last night. Notice the "Angel Moroni" on top and the water fountain to the right of the front door.

Leftovers

It was pretty slow around here this week as well. I looked through my old emails to see what happened and it was pretty mudane stuff. I decided that I would post a couple of old pictures from a few weeks ago that somehow never ended up on the blog.

Here is a shot of Ty's boat for the raingutter regatta. He didn't want a fancy paint job, just a few coats of polyurethane.

Aimee was a cabbage queen for the second grade play at school. Of course you can't just wrap your daughter in a green sheet and call it good. You have to sew her an entire costume. It turned out pretty nice.

We just had a nice visit with Travis. He and Kelly flew out for the weekend to visit Grandpa Hill. He wasn't doing so hot, but it appears that things are starting to look up. Thanks for making the rounds today Travis. I know that it was a lot of driving, but it was fun to catch up.

We're Still Here

Kind of a slow week in Moscow. I picked up Uncle Eugene at the Spokane Airport on Tuesday. Grandpa rode up with me and we had a nice visit up and back. He and Uncle Eugene have been enjoying just hanging around and doing odd jobs. They worked on the New Family Search program for a couple of days, cut out old flowers and bushes, put screen over the two gable vents where the yellow jackets had cut through the nylon screen we put up a couple of years ago.
We went out to eat at Applebees with them on Friday.
I will take Eugene back to the airport on Wednesday.
The weather has been great although it has started raining gain off and on.
Mom and I shopped in Lewiston Thursday night and then she, Lacey and boys went down yesterday and spent the whole day shopping.
Today after church we went over the Seth and Lacey's for lunch and to celebrate Koper's birthday. Then this evening we all went over to the Richards for dinner and to celebrate Matt Skinner, Grandpa, and Koper's birthdays.
Richards cleared out the bedroom over their garage for the missionaries. They were having a hard time finding a place to stay. They will use the upstairs bedroom and bathroom.
Mom had parent-teacher conferences Thursday and Friday. Next week we are all back to normal.
How was or is the camping trip? Where did they go? How about a picture or two.
Hope you are all well and happy.
Dad and Mom
