Daron ...

Daron has been busy, busy, busy since school starting!  He is in 8th grade and in Journalism now instead of band.  He'll do at least 1 year of band in high school next year, but is taking a year off to try something different.  He really wanted to play baseball at school ,but there is never enough people who sign up for 2 years running now.  So, he tried out for volleyball and made the team and is loving that!  He is a good player and even though he's never really played for anything other than fun before, he seems like a natural.  He is also on the parks & recreation Board for the city we live in as a youth representative.  So, very busy!  Not to mention ALL of the chores we give him and all the time he spends on church and scouts!  But the CHORES keep him extra busy because he's sure he has more than everyone else out there!  Proud of you Daron!  :)  Basketball is around the corner too!

He's really good at the net and with serving...

Listening to the sub coach that day...

I think he's the tallest one on the team...

Over the net backwards!

His scout Buddies...

And, with the leaders... him and Kevin have had so much fun together in scouts over the last year!

Doing a scout service project at the ward building with 2 of his good friends...

Being sworn in at his first Parks & Rec meeting... SO CUTE!

He even had his own name plaque!  Kevin and I were looking through the window from outside through the blinds even!  We were so proud!  :)

One more from scouts!
