Boy Scout Camp

Last week Jacob attended Boy Scout Camp in Conroe. They went Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Every morning we met at school for 6:55 a.m. and the boys came back at 2:00 that afternoon. Although the days were long...Jacob had a blast! The whole reason why Jacob joined Cub Scouts was to go to this camp...they got to shoot bow and arrows...BB guns..you name it they did it!

Here are a few pics from the first morning!

"SOLD"

There has not been too much excitement around the Doiron house lately. However...we came home Saturday afternoon from shopping and found a "SOLD" sign in the empty lot to the left of us. We have lived here for 1 1/2 years and no one has bought this lot. Although it has been great not having neighbors...we are tired of seeing the lot empty and yucky! I just hope they will be good neighbors!
Sunday night Jacob was supposed to have a double header...but they both got rained out. They did however play one inning and the game is tied at 5 runs. We are going to continue the game on Wednesday...so I will give you an update! I snapped a few pics before the rain came!

Jacob on deck!
By they way...Jacob was the last one to bat and he had an RBI that drove in the last run!

A few siblings cheering on the Scrappers!

Dress Up Day

Yesterday was a stay at home day so that I could catch up on some laundry. The kids played all day...and fought a little. Jacob played Pokemon games and Allyse played dress up. She loves to play dress up...but I think yesterday she put everything on at once....

A Few More Pics

Here are a few more pics from this weekend:

Busy Weekend

This past weekend was a little busy...I am too tired to write...so I will post some pics!

We went to the Galleria on Saturday and Mike took the kids Ice Skating!

There will be more pics to come...but I am having trouble uploading right now! Sorry for the brief post!

New Camera

Mike & I purchased a new camera last night...so as soon as we learn how to work it and load them on the computer I will post some pics!

We also got each of the kids new bikes last night. Jacob's reward for getting all A's & B's on his report card was a new bike for the summer. I will post pics of that as well!

Have a great weekend!

Happy Father's Day!

This past week has been a little crazy. Jacob had baseball camp all week up in The Woodlands and baseball games almost every night. My camera is still not cooperating, so unfortunately I have no pics from this week. However I am going to post some pics of Mike and the kids in honor of Father's Day! Happy Father's Day Mike!!!

My in-laws are coming in towards the end of this week, so hopefully I will have a new camera by then and can post some pics from their visit. I am lost without my camera!
Have a great week and Happy Father's Day!

Pictures

Now that I have SOMEWHAT learned how to do this blog thing...I have re-sized my pictures from my first post. Now you can see the whole picture! Amazing!

Galveston Trip

Mike and I took the kids to Galveston on Friday afternoon. We only stayed one night because Mike had a lot of homework for his summer class. It took us 3 hours to get there instead of 1 1/2 hours due to traffic. After arriving at our "fabulous hotel"...(not close).....we walked down to the beach to let the kids run around a bit. Then we went to "The Rainforest Cafe" where we spent half of the kids college tuition...LOL! I am saying that because they sure know how to get you. There was an hour wait...but we knew that anywhere we would go we would have to wait. So in the meantime we decided to ride "The Rainforest River Adventure Ride" which was $6 a person for about 6 minutes. Then on the way out of the ride you step right into Build A Bear...how convenient!!!! We definitely spent a lot of money while waiting!

Saturday morning Jacob woke us up at 6:50 asking when were we going to the beach...of course! So we packed up and headed to the beach! The kids had a blast and so did mom and dad! The water is muddy and the beach is dirty...but it was fun while it lasted! Oh...and my camera broke while we were there. The lens shutter got stuck...so when I turned on the camera the lens would not stay open...so Mike told me to take the picture upside down and just rotate it when I loaded the pics on the computer. It worked!!!! The pics did not turn out great....but they will have to do....Enjoy the pics!

SMILE BIG BOY

Last Friday Mike went fishing in Galveston and caught a Kingfish. Some of the guys from work and customers of course, chartered a boat for a fishing tournament. He left at 3:30 Friday morning and didn't get home until 9:30 that night. Don't ask me the size or the weight or if he placed...I don't know any of that stuff...I just thought I would share the pic! LOL!!!

Have a great day!

Last Day of 2nd Grade

Today was Jacob's last day of school. Allyse and I spent the afternoon with his class. We brought him Chick-Fil-A for lunch and Allyse got to play on the playground for recess with all of 2nd grade. Then we went inside to have Ice Cream Sunday's and to give the teachers their gifts!

What a great year!

First Blog

Ok here it goes...I have wanted to start a blog for sometime now and just haven't gotten around to it. Since we have moved to Texas and away from some of our family I thought now would be a great time to do it. This blog stuff is new to me so please bare with me if I make a mistake...and I am sure I will make lots!


I will start off with Jacob...
Jacob has 3 more days left of school and will be going into the 3rd grade next year. He has made all A's & B's this year and is doing great in school. He has continued to play in a baseball league since we have moved here. His baseball team is called the Scrappers. They have been together
since January of 2007. The team has stayed together since then, picking up and losing some on the way. He has played one season of soccer here in Spring, but would like to play Flag Football this Fall instead of soccer. So we shall see!
Jacob joined Cub Scouts this year for the first time and is LOVING every minute. Mike and Jacob went on a camping trip with the Pack on Labor Day weekend and had a blast! Allyse and I were unable to go because she had Strep Throat! Last Thursday he crossed over from a Wolf to a Bear. We are so proud of him!

Here are few pics of Jacob!

Allyse is probably the funniest person I know ( I know... that's bad that a 5 year old is the funniest person I know...but it is true). She just graduated from Pre-K, but was unable to make her graduation because she had Strep Throat. She will be going to "the big school" next year with Jacob and is VERY excited! She also played soccer last Fall and is hoping to play again this coming Fall. There are so many stories I could tell you about Allyse, but there is too many for me to write. So when she says or does something funny I promise I will post it!

Here are some pics of Allyse!

This pic is from "Donuts with Dad" at Pre K.

This pic was taken for "Muffins with Mom" at Pre K.

This pic was taken in August of last year.
