Merlin had his band concert on May 10. He has gotten so good. He has earned over 200pts. for the last 3 quarters for the pizza party. This is by attending concerts, practicing and being prepared for class everyday.

On May 3 was Kevin's very last band concert of his High School Days. He hopes to continue to play through his adult years.

Kevin's Prom

Kevin asked his cousin Hannah to the Westwood Prom. They looked so cute. They really had a great time until Hannah got a migraine.

Demetrius 7th Birthday

Demetrius decided that he wanted his Kevin and Charity to make his cake. They decided to make him a Harry Potter cake. It was a lot of fun to watch Charity and Kevin working together.

I can't believe how fast he has grown up over the years. He is our only left handed child. He loves to learn and grow everyday.

Merlin's Arrow of Light

On April 22 during our pack meeting. Merlin and 4 other webelos in his pack recieved their Arrow of Light. This is the highest award that a cubscouter can earn. We have some men from the Order of the Arrow come in and do the ceremony. It was such a great time seeing Merlin's face light up knowing he accomplished this.

Merlin had to recite the Boyscout law, motto, promise and the outdoor code. We have been working on this for the last 3 months. He did a great job. I am so grateful to be his mom.

Easter

Easter morning when the children got up they noticed eggs outside in the yard. It was so much fun to watch their faces trying to find eggs.

Kevin, Merlin & Charity Scuba Certified

Starting on April 10 and finishing on april 18. The children finally got certified. Charity and Kevin are officially Open Water Certified. Merlin is Scuba Diver Certified which means he did not finish all of the requirements for open water and has restrictions. They did Sat. and Sun. classes for 2 weekends. They really had a great time. Andy and Jim from Sports Chalet were their instructors.

Merlin kept losing his fins.

Lake Pleasant was beautiful but cold. About 13' was 54 degrees F.
