Blue and Gold Banquet

 Last night was the Blue and Gold Banquet for scouts. Our ward's tradition is for the moms and sons to make a cake together. There are some awards handed out for the best scout themed cake, best yearly banquet themed cake, most colorful cake, tastiest cake, and something else.

Here is the cake Mason and I made together. He won best cub scout themed cake. He was SO excited. I wish I had my camera ready to get his reaction. It was great.

 

During the banquet all the cub scouts did a Mexican themed dance (the theme this year was Mexican Fiesta).

 

Mason earned his Wolf badge and 6 arrow points at the banquet. We are so proud of all his accomplishments in cub scouts!

When a cub scout earns a big award, they give a pin to their moms as a "thank you" for all their hard work in helping the scout earn the award. Here is Mason pinning my pin on me.

"Hi Baby!"

Kinley's newest phrase: "Hi Baby"

Kinsington

 With all these pictures taken of Kinley in one day (by Jeff, just so you know), you'd think her other siblings don't matter or don't exist.

I assure you, we do love them and they do matter to us, but she is just so stinkin' cute!

 

Look-a-like

 Anyone else think the hairdo she is sporting looks like something Justin Bieber would sport?

Well child check up

Kinley had her 18 month well child check up today.

She is doing really well, hitting all her milestones for this age.

She had a few shots, which she didn't like so much, but seems to be doing well now. 

Her stats: 

27.5 lbs. (86%)

33 inches (83%)

Nap time fun

Not really what I would call "fun", but apparently Shiloh does.

Well child check up

Shiloh had her 3 year well child check up yesterday....a few months late, but who's counting?

She is growing well and is on track with every milestone. She was really shy for our doctor. He asked if she normally talked. I just laughed. I think he got the point.

Her stats were:

36.5 lbs (86%)

39.4 inches (84%)
