Another Basketball Camp...

Last week July 27th-30th Karter attended yet another basketball camp for the summer.  This one was the Think Swish Shooting Camp.  He has really grown a love for basketball this year and loves to learn new skills and to attend these camps.  He is improving so much.  Good job Karter!!!

Basketball Camps

Karter has really enjoyed playing basketball this year so we decided to sign him up for a couple of camps to do this summer.  June 1st-4th he attended the Dixie High Basketball Camp.  He absolutely loved it and would come home each day so excited to tell us what he had done and learned.  He was in there with a couple of his friends from the neighborhood and had such a good time that we decided to put him in Coach Jon Judkins (Dixie State College) Basketball Camp.

So, from June 8th-10th he went there for four hours a day and learned some awesome skills that will hopefully help him to improve his game.  We were so glad that he was able to attend these camps this year.  We can't wait until next year.  Good job buddy!!!

Invention Convention

Last Wednesday (22nd) Karter had another pack meeting.  The theme was Invention Convention.  At the last pack meeting in March they were given cans full of different items and told to invent something for the next months pack meeting using only what was in the can (you could also use the can).  Well Karter invented a rain catcher.  It was pretty cool, he even made tools using some of the items put together.  He was pretty excited to show it off.  He really enjoys being a part of scouts.  Good job Karter!

Track Meet

So as you can tell we have been pretty busy with school events over the past two weeks.  Last Thursday (9th) Karter participated in his school's track meet.  Nate took the day off and we spent most of the day at the track watching Karter race.  He did awesome!!  He ran in the 400m  and the 100m and also did the softball throw.  He had a blast!!!  Good job Karter once again on all that you accomplish!!!  We love you!!!

Karter's Concert at Tuachan

Last Wednesday (8th), Karter performed with his school choir out at Tuachan!  The theme was 50's Night, so the boys wore their white shirts with the sleeves rolled up (of course) with jeans and the girls wore poodle skirts!! There were about ten other elementary schools from Washington County there.  It was fun and Karter did an awesome job.  They had to use rackets as props for their guitars in Johnny Be Good and Karter had a blast rocking out.  The night was cold, right before the show began it started raining but only lasted for about 10-minutes.  Traevn and Brynlei were fascinated by the fountains they have at Tuachan that they accidently got a little too close, Traevn leaned on Brynlei and she fell in and got her pants all wet.  We wrapped her up in a blanket for the rest of the night.  Karter loves choir and has enjoyed being a part of it this year!! We loved watching him sing and dance and rock out!!! Good job Karter!

Traevn and Karter had their Science Fair for their school on April 2nd.  I am so proud of the work that they did.  Karter chose Can Exer-Games be a form of exercise? And, Traevn chose Which Parent Affects Your Fingerprint Pattern?  They both did an awesome job of presenting their hypothesis's to the judges!!  Karter ended up taking 2nd in his grade level and received a medal for it!!  Good job boys on all of your hard work!!

Karter advances to Bear!!

On Wednesday, March 25th, Karter advanced into the Bear Den!!  He was excited because he also got his Wolf badge and Geography belt loop!!  We are so proud of you Karter for setting goals and accomplishing them!! 

BoBcAt

Last night, Karter received his Bobcat award at his pack meeting.  Karter has really enjoyed scouts since he turned 8!  He looks forward to going to den meeting every week, hanging out with his friends, and learning new stuff.  GOOD JOB Kart on getting your Bobcat badge!!

*Once again the camera was sitting on our laps the whole time until the very end.  The picture of  Traevn is him with one of his best friends Treylin.  They are in the same class at school & think that it is cool that their names sound alike!!  Funny thing is they were sitting behind us and were in deep conversation discussing things and chatting like little girls...:)
