10 years old!

Scott turned 10 earlier this month!  He's tall enough to be 11 or 12 though, so I'm thankful that I can at least say he's 10.  I felt like people at Great Clips or pizza buffets thought I was lying when I said I have a 9 year old.  I'm really not trying to just get a cheaper kid price!  Anyway, Scott continues to bless us with his sharp memory skills and responsibility.  He's my go-to electronic man and will be a great Mr. Fix-it.  He would love to be a farmer someday- is it too early to start looking for a farmer's daughter so he could marry into the business?!:) 

He celebrated with his friends and had a birthday scavenger hunt. 

Scott continues to LOVE reading and once again received a special reading award at school.  This summer, it's been nice to take a break from the "point approved" books and read a Rush Revere series that Jon recommended to him. 

He's sticking with piano, but for his birthday, he got an electric guitar.  He's trying to teach himself to play by watching YouTube videos.  

Church Skating Party- all those trips up and down the driveway paid off.  They were able to put what they'd been practicing to use!

  

Walking the dog- Natalie style

 

We attempted a trip to Holiday World early in June.  We have had success before by going on a day that is overcast or had a short break for rain.  However, we didn't factor in the "threat" of severe weather.  Even though it never rained a drop on us during our time there, many of the rides were closed due to the threat of coming severe weather.  They ended up closing everything for an "indefinite time" so we got vouchers to return again later this summer.  Jon. is. thrilled.  (And the picture below really cracks me up for some reason!)
