Yes, I admit that when I was young and I heard people talking about the blue and gold dinner, I seriously thought it was a dinner for Orem High, my fabulous high school had those same colors. Only years and 1 scout later did I learn that it is a big dinner for Cub Scouts. As you might recall from last months blog I stupidly agreed to do the 2 biggest pack meetings of the year, Pinewood and Blue and Gold. My awesome family went to the church with me early and set up all the tables and chairs and I baked 80 potatoes to take. It was a big success and the kids had a blast. One thing we do is have each scout make a cake, here are a few of my favorites. Please note the fancy schmancy carrot cake Caleb is standing by. Yes, that it ours, after quickly removing the tag I don't think anyone knew I didn't slave over it all day. In my defense, kindly remember that I had to bake 80 potatoes.
Caleb is 13 and ready to start 8th grade. I can't believe I have a teenager. He is super smart and pretty much the coolest kid. His favorite sport is basketball and he loves his ipod.
Ashlee
Ashlee is 9 and is the sweetest girl. She is a huge help with the baby and she still loves horses and all animals.
Sydney
Sydney is 6 and loads of trouble. She will be starting 1st grade this year. She is very creative and has a silly sense of humor.
Ethan
Ethan is 6 months old and is seriously the sweetest baby ever. He is happy and loves his brother and sisters. We sure do love this little guy.
“If you are still in the process of raising children . . . be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will -to your surprise- miss them profoundly.” President Thomas S. Monson
