Joel and I have been busy these last few month since I wrote on here last. It is great to stay as busy as we can. It is fun to watch my son to grow and enjoy different things in his life, and even try new fun things. Joel is growing so fast, and changing all the time so I try to enjoy the little moments with him of family time.
Joel has stayed pretty busy with Cub Scouts still. He got to carry the American Flag during a flag ceremony at a Pack Meeting in February. His Tiger Den went bowling as well in February. In March he had the Pine Wood Derby for Cub Scouts. His car didn't race well, but he got two 1st place awards for Most decals, and for Most Scout Spirit. I was very proud of my son for enjoying having fun with his buddies even though he didn't do well. In April Joel got to me Iowa US Senator Joni Ernst at a Quilts for Valor with his Cub Scout Den and his cousins Den from their town. This this month Joel got his Advancement and Achievement awards from Cub Scouts. I was very proud of how hard Joel has worked this year for cub scouts. He earned his Tiger Achievement Badge and Paw, he also got 24 belt loops and pins. He also has some beads coming soon. It is nice being a stay at home Mom because I can help him with his Cubs Scout things.
Joel has had a good school year. It is hard to believe that Joel only has 5 days of school left for the year. In April Joel had his Spring Concert this year Joel had a speaking part. It was fun watching him and the rest of the 1st graders. They had a theme of Tall Tales. I think there was more speaking parts than there was of singing. Oh, well it was still awesome to listen. Joel had a field trip to the Blank Park Zoo this month, but I wont go into detail of that really. Atleast I got to spend time with my son that is the main part.
Joel started soccer in April. It is actually almost over. Joel has had a good season. He is getting to play on the same teams as a few of his buddies that he loves to hang with. He has improved all season. He has scored a few goals over the season. Even when he has loss a game he has still stayed positive. His next game is his last. He has to play against a good friend.
Joel has also learned how to shoot a bow and arrow this spring. He Uncle taught him a few weeks ago. Joel still is excited for doing it. He can't wait to do it again. I was so proud of him, and I think his Uncle was very proud to teach his nephew something that he loves to do. Next thing I know is my son will want to go Bow Hunting with his Uncle. Hopefully not for a while though. Joel also has went fishing recently. The little man caught a good size large mouth bass (with help from his Momma of course). It is the first time he has been able to catch a keeper. Joel even cleaned, degutted, cooked, and ate his fish (with my help again).
