The Adventures of Super Ty

I like balancing my checkbook. I enjoy having my own bank account. Everytime I make a purchase I keep my receipt and record them in my little balance book. The other day I had made a bunch of purchases and it was rather frustrating trying to balance out my checkbook. This must be a taste at how hard being a grown up must be. Haha

This past weekend Tyler's All-Star team played their tournament in Fruitland ID and walked away as Champions. Good job boys!!!!! 1st Place looks good on you :) 

Gearing up for another fun weekend of All-Star tournaments. Grateful for the extra coaching Tyler has been receiving in his batting. We are given strengths and weaknesses in both athletics and life, yet with hard work, extra help and consistency good strong character and confidence can be achieved as we grow out of our weaknesses and turn them into strengths. Way to go Awesome Lawson!!!! Thanks Coach Dusty. #workhardplayhard

Tyler has set the goal to do personal scripture study each night. He is following this scripture journal as he reads the Book of Mormon. It has been really neat to see how the scriptures truly match our own unique trials and victories. The mysteries that are discovered in the scriptures are the blessings given as we build our testimony, search, and ponder His words. It is through the scriptures that we are able to hear the words that the Lord would have us hear. It's no coincidence that on a day when Tyler spent most of his time complaining how his personal scripture study that night happened to be just about that very trial.  He was humbled at what the Lord would have him do. What a sweet boy. I'm so very proud of him

This year in 4th grade the kids were invited to try a mini Track Meet in efforts of sparking an interest as they draw closer to middle school. Tyler did awesome in his Long Jump and 50 yard Dahs. Way to go Tyler. It's always fun to try new things.

Tyler is playing for CalRipkin this year. He will no longer be using a pitching machine. This year they start using real pitchers and learning how to steal bases. He and the team did great last night, they even won their first game 12-2. Tyler hit great and even got to steal home see rail times. He is sporting his moms favorite number (11) whoop whoop!!!

For Cub Scout I needed to plan and prepare a family outing. I decided to plan a picnic in Driggs and see the pretty fall colored leaves then visit the Boy Scouts Haunted House as we come home through Rexburg. We had a great time and we saw some beautiful trees. I made my moms favorite salad "Salt Salad" 

Twice a year Great Grandma hosts her own Piano Recitals for all her piano students. Even though MiMi is Tylers piano teacher, it was very nice of Great Grandma to invite us to hers. It was a special treat to play in front of a crowd. He got to pick two of his favorite songs. He played "Scripture Power" and " Love One Another" He did such a great job, we were so proud of him.

Tonight Tyler passed off a requirment in his Wolf Cub Scout Book. He chose to make a yummy Spaghetti and Meatballs dinner with brocolli. He made meatballs for the first time. It was a little nerve racking being so close to the hot stove, but together we talked about stove top safetly and safe food prep. It was a good experience for him and taught him to adventure outside of his comfort zone. He did a great job. It was so tasty! He had to also set the table and wash the dishes after dinner. He found a new level of respect for his Mom who cook dinners on a regular basis for the family. He realized how important it is to stay focused and to not give up. He also realized it takes a high level of concentration and how crucial it is to play quitly while I cook. In Tyler's Words: I think cooking in the kitchen is very fun,but it can also be very dangerous. This story is about me making spaghetti and meetballs. I also wanted to say that cooking with my mom in the kitchen is one of the best things in the world. From Mommy: Good job Tyler. I love cooking and spending time with you too. Youre well on your way to recieving your Wolf. These requirments are teaching you great life skills, soon you'll be a pro in the kitchen :)
