We-be-los

If your a mother of a 10-yr or older boy, then you must have wondered where those Scouts came up with the name "Webelos".  Even Blogger says it's not a word.  But I'll share with you what I learned while helping Tyler earn his Webelos badge.  It means, "We'll Be Loyal Scouts."  That's pretty cool.  Anyway, Tyler earned his Webelos badge in April.

I love that we're ALL up there.  You could say we're really loyal...or that maybe some of us don't like to be out of the spotlight.  Either way, it was fun to all be up there.

Tyler pinned the Webelos pin on me.  Really though, it was Scott who did most of the work to help him earn this badge.  He should have gotten the pin.

The Cub master had called me earlier to write up a spotlight for Tyler.  I didn't know I would get to read it.  That was really fun to honor Tyler that way.

"Tyler is an amazing kid.  He is the oldest child out of four, and is a great example to his sisters and brother.  He is a great swimmer, biker, hiker, and rock climber.  He especially loves to go rock climbing with his dad.  Tyler also loves to go camping, play soccer, and to play the Wii.  He has an amazing memory-if he’s read it in a book, then he will always remember it.  He has a constant flow of facts about anything and everything.  He loves to read and has a great curiosity about the world and how everything works.  Whenever he gets a new Lego set, he gets it all put together in a very short time-to the amazement of his mom!  Tyler is a very good boy and takes very good care of his brother and sisters.  He especially likes to take care of his little brother.  Tyler is a great planner.  When he decides to do something, he reads and finds out all about it and plans how to get it done.  Tyler plays the piano very well.  He learned and memorized a song in two weeks to play for his Grandma in Utah last week."
