Tyler's Arrow Point Challenge 11-2-13

This is my first year in cub scouts. This is also the year we made our big move to Idaho Falls. This put a little damper on my abilities to pace myself in achieving my Arrow Points this year. Together my mom and I came up w a plan as we got more settled into our school and church that we would hold an Arrow Point Challenge and not let this move get in the way of our goals of doing our best in scouting. So together Mom and I worked really hard for the last couple of months to organize a way to succeed. We did 1-2 Arrow Points a day, yep a day. But our main focus wasn't how many Arrow Points we achieved, our main focus was to "Do our best" and " Have fun" . I have to say I really enjoyed this extra time w my mom. We had a lot of fun and I enjoyed all the extra quality time w her. It was a good thing. I earned a total of 10 Arrow Points by my 9th Birthday. I was pretty proud of myself. Yay!!!!!

Piano Recital

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.

Chief Tyler Cooks Dinner

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 :)

The Gift of Reading

Tyler has really caught the gift of reading this year. He is now in 2nd Grade and reading at 3rd/4th Grade level. He says he loves reading Nonfiction. He loves finding books that teach him facrs about different things in this world. Lately hes been on a real big Military kick. Hes gained a strong friendship with Walter and Mac at school and the three of them just thrive off of playing and pretending to be in the military. One day after school I took him to the Library to find some good Nonfiction books on the Military. So far he has read about Basic Training, Military Equipment, Military battle and much more.
If youre ever wondering where Tyler is these days, you can find him outside in the front yard in his Army attire, hiding in the nieghbors bushes and brush pretending to be in full battle. Hes even recruited his younger brothers Trevor and Spencer. Its so cute to see him really get into the material he's reading and incorporate that magic into his playtime.
