It's been a long time again since I have done this, blogging I mean. I don't know if I am enjoying this blogging thing anymore, it is kind of feeling more like another chore I have to do. But I also have been
sooo busy with a very important project that takes so much of my time, like 24/7, and makes me so tired...I'm growing a person for
cryin' out loud!!!! And caring for 4 others.
Wah.
OK, so for all of the other stuff that has been going on besides that...here ya go.
Carson's (and Cory's, since he seemed to care about it much more than Carson) first pinewood derby. I didn't even get a picture of Carson with his car, or the awards. But this is a picture of him and some little buddies watching the race intently.
The
cub master, and the track. And this year we had food and music, it was fun. For those of you who don't know, my calling at church is pack committee chair. So I get to help plan and organize and pull off the monthly pack meeting. Party planning, it is pretty much my favorite thing ever!
Dessert! We NEVER have leftovers on the refreshments at pack meetings, these boys love treats! Carson's car did good. It came in about 8
th out of 23 or so. Carson didn't seem to care, but if I know my husband...he will want to be a winner next year!
I had a birthday in January. My sweet hubby got me TWO cakes. They were delicious! He is so funny though. Anytime I send him to the store for something, he always buys things in twos. I laugh about it all the time. I need to start specifying "we just need ONE."
My sweet boys love to bring me breakfast in bed. But on my birthday, I was too quick for them, and as I got out of the shower I was met with this...
They are getting so good at it. It is a big difference from the first time they brought me breakfast and it was dry toast with salt on it. It was one of my first posts on this here blog. Cute boys!!!!
I also went to the Cher concert here in Vegas with my mom and Allie. It was fun!
Tyson took this picture of my very pregnant self. We are almost there! A couple more weeks. Hopefully the next post will be about a new baby girl!!
Valentines day. Cory brought these beautiful little cupcakes home as a surprise, and I caught this little man taking a peek. So cute.
February in cub scouts is the big Blue and Gold Banquet. Another fun party for me to plan! We fed all of the cub scouts and their families, it was a western theme. We had a big arrow of light ceremony, complete with an
Indian chief. It was fun. It also is a time to celebrate the
BSA's birthday. So to do that, we have all the boys make a cake and decorate it to our theme. Carson had to make one, when I asked him how he wanted to decorate it in keeping with the western theme, he said he wanted a log cabin and a stampede.
Hmmmmmm. I can do that, I think. I love a good creative project after all. So I made a big Texas fudge cake. I made the log cabin out of pretzel rods and gingerbread house icing ( is it royal icing? I don't remember what it is called, but you know what I mean). And my friend suggested using brownie bites for the cows. And somehow I got that to work. But the cows were not really stampeding, they were just kind of standing there. Carson helped with assembling a couple of cows, and he was happy with how it turned out,
yay. Mission accomplished.
Carson
received his first badge, Bobcat. Way to go Carson!!!
Carson and his cute pals,
Rylan, Luke, Jordan, and
Garren.
