October 2009 Cub Scout Spookeree: Our first event was a family campout and we all had a great time despite the cold weather. Once we got the tents up and things unpacked we headed for the haunted trail and the hayride. The boys were not to afraid of the haunted trail, until the end when the scary guy in the woods started his chain saw. Then they ran and headed to the light. Needless to say we had drank lots of Hot chocolate because it was pretty cold. Our tent was very small so sleeping was tight. I think everyone was up at 5 am, which made for a long day. All the boys had a great time gathering wood for the fire and roasting hotdogs and marshmallows. The next day the scouts got to participate several different events.

John David decided to join the Cub Scouts this year.

Christmas pictures 2009

I know some of these pictures are not in order but this was Christmas morning. The new 4-wheeler.
Holt got lots of toys.

Cookies we all decorated on Christmas Eve for Santa Clause.

On Christmas Eve, the boys and John got to open one gift. They all got a pair of ear protectors for shooting. The boys also got a pair of glasses with theirs.

Santa Clause brought John David a 4 wheeler for Christmas and he was beside himself. When he crawled out of bed and ran in the livingroom and went crazy. He jump on the 4-wheeler and was ready to go outside and try it out. It was freezing on Christmas morning, but he did not care. He and his daddy went riding. Needless to say after an hour of riding, his hands and face were freezing. After having the 4-wheeler for a month, i can say it is not this clean anymore.

Christmas in Purvis was very exciting for the boys. John David got his own cowbay hat, a real roping rope and a plastic steer. One good thing, he has not tried to rope his brother or the dogs.

Holt also got a cowboy hat and accessories but the one thing he liked the most was the remote control traco. He tries to pick up and dump everything he can find on the floor.

Blog, What is a Blog?

Well, I have completely quit blogging for awhile due to facebook, but I hope to start back. NOt much is going on in the Voss family world. Same thing everyday, John working and me, I am getting kids from place to place and training for whatever comes my way. My oldest has decided to participate in cub scouts, therefore both Half Marathons I had in my plan I will not be doing. Looks like I will have to find another option. The next big race will be the Boston Marathon. I am getting the fever for another Half ironman and a IM. Timing, when is the question?

John and a few friends went to New Mexico for 10 days on an elk hunt. Came home without the big game. He had a good time just wasn't any elk to hunt according to him.

I will be adding a few pics this week.

My two workers. I have to really worry about them with real tools because they will really take things apart.

Holt opening presents. He never really knew what he got because he would open one and ask for the next one to open. He had more fun opening presents than the gift.
