SCOUTS REGRET MISSING NEW TALENT

In case you missed it on Sports Center, here's the highlight from the Destroyers game this weekend. Brant Cupit made a breakthrough play. He's finally having a little bit of success (and FUN) on the field!

POKES PRODUCE WELTS

The family has known for a while that Brant has some pretty serious indoor and outdoor allergies. In order to begin a more targeted treatment program, Maren decided it was time to get the real testing done. It was a 2 hour appt with a 20 minute block of NO SCRATCHING ALLOWED. Going into the appointment, Maren was sure the prickly pokes would be the worst part, but Brant's agony came during the no scratching waiting period. In conclusion, the boy is allergic to grasses, weeds, trees, cats, dust, mold, and soy. Thank goodness for antihistamines!









The consolation prize...

TEAM LEARNS FOOTBALL

Brant is in a little flag football league through the y. He's on a team with some friends, otherwise he may not be too thrilled. The weather's been great and he seems to be happy. Brant's parents have known for a long time that he doesn't have much interest in competition. It's still pretty cute to watch him figure out which way to run.











The team chose their name, "the Destroyers." That might be the only intimidating thing about them!

PUMPKIN PHOTOS

Unfortunately there is not a combined photo of all the kids at our pumpkin patch, but there are a few individual good ones.

















Happy Halloween!

MONKEY SEE MONKEY DO

Laney showed off her latest physical feat today at the park. She's a pretty decent monkey swinger for a young 2 year old. Plus it makes her cheeks especially squeezable!

LADY TRIES THE SINGLE LIFE IN HOLLYWOOD

Lady Mama took her 3 kiddos to Hollywood studios yesterday trying to achieve supermom status. The verdict: supermoms are overrated. 2 if not 3 of the kids ended up crying at some point during the day. The group still decided they had more fun on their day off than staying home and watching tv all day, but it's quite clear that Disney should be done with a smaller adult to child ratio. The one ride of the day was toy story mania (awesome) and the kids met phineas and ferb. They also lost a few dollars in the pizza planet
Arcade. They had a really good time in the Honey I shrunk the kids playground. Here's a few shots...
