Jada’s Girl Scout Rededication

Jada's Gril Scout Rededication ceremony was today. This year will be Jada's 4th year in Girl Scouts. This is her first year as a Junior, and today they welcome new Girl Scouts and welcome back returning Girl Scouts. I also choose to help this year, as a co-leader for Jada's troop. It's fun to have that special time with her, and she LOVES it.

Our mischief one

HOLY PIG!! Does this dog go through some toys!! We haven't found a toy yet, that can last more than a couple days... I thought this pig was the one, but I was wrong AGAIN!!! On the tag it said "the STRONGEST dog toy EVER" ... that was a load.

This is not an actual toy I got for him... but he was very bothered by this walking, barking toy robot dog.. LOL... it was actually very amusing to me.

~~Family Night~~ Game Night

Friday or Saturday (which ever night I am NOT working) is our family night. Tonight  El choose to play the Kinect on the Xbox 360. We played Ninja Fruit, a Sonic game, and another game with water rafting, obstacle courses, and more… it was really fun. Some the boys won and some (more) the girls WON!!! If you do not know, the Kinect is the controller free game system… you use your hands.
