Cub Scout Blue and Gold Banquet

Last week was our Pack's Blue and Gold Banquet, another fun Cub Scouting first for Collin. It was a "Happy Birthday, BSA" theme, so there were lots fun party decorations and a great taco salad dinner. Collin earned his football belt loop and pin and to get them, his dad had to pick him up to reach a balloon they had been tied to hanging way up high on the wall. He also earned his Bobcat badge and I got to face paint stripes on his face while it was awarded to him. Kevin and I are so proud of him! He also did a skit with his den and ended the night under a balloon drop with all his friends. We had so much fun and love Scouting!








London's Run

At the end of January our family took part in London's Run out at Schnepf Farms. It was our first race and everyone was so excited to be there. It was such a beautiful morning and everyone wore their Blake's Miracle t-shirts in honor of Blake! Kevin and Collin crossed the finish line together and Kylie, Logan and I watched and cheered them on. It was a great morning!




Collin's First Pinewood Derby

Collin just started Cub Scouts and his very first activity was the Pinewood Derby. It was such a fun way for him to start scouting! Collin and his dad had a great time figuring out what kind of car he wanted to build and then after they had it all cut out, Collin gave it an awesome paint job. He named it the "Road Warrior". He had so much fun racing it and we loved watching and cheering him on.

An Afternoon at the Park

I love Arizona winters! The weather is so beautiful that you just have to get out and enjoy it. Over winter break, while Collin was out of school, we tried to get to the park as much as we could. Kylie loves the swings, Collin likes to play tag and Logan just loves to be outside and run as fast as his little legs can go.
