Cakes, Wrestlers, and Horses

I haven't been very diligent in keeping up with the blog. I don't really have too much time to devote to it these days, so here is a little update of the happenings around our house. 

 

Drake and Brendan worked hard on baking a cake for the Blue and Gold banquet with Derek's help. It was the birthday of the cub scouting program, so that was their theme. They did an excellent job and won an award for the "Nuttiest Cake"

Logan wrestling 2010

All of our boys have started wrestling again this year. These pictures are from their first tournament of the season. They all did very well and were excited to be wrestling again! (even Drake, he is determined to win one this season ;-) 

Paige's first ride on the horse!

Paige finally decided that riding the horse would be OK! She didn't want to go without her pro-riding brother though. It was very sweet of Logan to hold onto her and make her feel safe. She has since then taken rides all by herself (with Grandpa leading the horse of course ;-).

At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person.
Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.
