Today I am spending the day with my family.
Laughing, swimming and eating crabs.
Does life get any better?

Cheer Camp
Sarah's first camp of the summer was cheer camp.
She had a blast tumbling, jumping and stunting for 3 very long and hot days.
On the last day she was awarded the best hair award!
Gotta love big sparkly bows.

Homemade "Uncrustables"
After canning 24 jars of delicious strawberry jam
(at the rate we are using it I should have made 3 times that amount!)
I decided to make some "uncrustables". Uncrustables are sandwiches that you can buy in the store, pop in your freezer and pull out when you want to eat them. Well, I can do that! 
First, push a well in your bread. Add a spoonful of peanut butter. 
Then add a spoonful of jam.

Place another piece of bread on top.
Place another piece of bread on top.I bought this little device from Pampered Chef.
Center it on the bread.
Push down on the outside of the tool, not the plunger. 
Pull of the left over bread.

Now push the plunger down.
Now push the plunger down.I flip the sandwich over and seal each side. 
To store them I place parchment between them and place them in freezer bags.

They are great in camp lunches and trips to the zoo.
They are also awesome for little boys and girls on the run.

Cub Scout Day Camp 2010
What is one the best things about summer...Camp!
This is the last year Jim will be able to attend cub scout day camp as a camper.
This time next year my little scout will be a Boy Scout.
The theme this year is Cubs in Time.
For those that do not know Boy scouts are celebrating their 100 anniversary.
Jim loves camp. But who wouldn't when you get to hang out with a bunch a crazy guys like these... 
The camp is held outdoors and the temps were so hot this year.
The camp is held outdoors and the temps were so hot this year. It was so hot the camp was highlighted on a local news station.
They did a story about how the kids are being kept hydrated and safe.
Even the heat couldn't keep the boys from being boys.
One of Jim's favorite stations was the BB guns. 
He has awesome aim. The first day he shot 50/50! 
There is also archery... 
and sling shots.
How awesome is this...

The last day brings the best event of all....

Schools out for summer!
It is officially summer time around our home. Luke finished school back in May. The other three kiddos excitedly finished school a little over a week ago. 
It's hard to believe that this little dude will be in kindergarten next year. Where has all the precious time gone? 
And these two... 
Well this is the big man on campus, Jim is in 5th grade now! 
Miss Sarah is now a 3rd grader 
Now that school is done....
