Pack Night..

So our cub master recently had to have surgery and so I was asked to plan the monthly pack night. It was a lot of fun to come up with the ideas. I decided to go with a "Minute to Win It" theme. 
Here are the different stations. 
1. Cookie Drop-they had to put a cookie on their forhead and then wiggle it down to their mouth without using their hands. 
2. Defying Gravity-They had to keep multiple balloons in the air without letting any of them touch the ground. 
3. I forget what I named this one. However, they had to race to see who could move the most cotton balls from one bowl to another by sucking them up with a straw. 
4. Noodle Head- They had to see how many circular spaghetti noodles they get could on an actual long piece of spaghetti, without using their hands. 
5. I forget what I called this one too. However this was about team work. One person had to close their eyes and their partner had to guide them to put the colored Gummy Bear in the correct cup! 
All in all I think that the boys had a fun night!

Pinewood Derby Time!!

This year was a year of firsts. Cullan's first year in scouts and his first Pinewood Derby. His car is the red one next to the lightening bolt. 
I thought he looked so handsome with his shirt on, holding his car. 
He was pretty excited once we got there. 
The track was all set up and Garran had been asked to help with the races. 
All the boys watching the heats of the race. 
He didn't win a trophy but his car did win a few races! Not to shabby for his first year!

Blue and Gold

Cullan had his first Blue and Gold Banquet for Cub Scouts the other night. 

Look how handsome he is. I am one lucky mom. 
Each boy had to do a model of an invention. 
Cullan was assigned a rocket. 
This was his.
My sweet Cullan.
This night he was getting his Bobcat. 
For some reason when they put the Bobcat on the kids, they have to turn them upside down. I don't actually remember why. But it makes for a cute picture. 
Each scout that was given a badge got a pin to give to their mother's as well. It was to thank them for supporting them.

I love the saying "the best thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother". My husband does an amazing job of that. I am truly married to my best friend. We laugh often and try to see the best in every situation, or at least find the humor in it. We have four beautiful children. Cullan (7) Kael (6) Briea (3) and Ayla (2). We are currently living in Illinois while Garran attends Grad School. He is a talented print maker and is enjoying his time here. He has a website if you are interested. www.garrangillespie.com Right now we are living every day to the fullest and trying to have as much fun as possible along the way!!

This explains why I blog so much RIGHT?

“Your journal is your autobiography, so it should be kept carefully. You are unique, and there may be incidents in your experience that are more noble and praiseworthy in their way than those recorded in any other life. …
“What could you do better for your children and your children’s children than to record the story of your life, your triumphs over adversity, your recovery after a fall, your progress when all seemed black, your rejoicing when you had finally achieved?”
Elder Spencer W Kimball!

I need to read this every morning!

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It all works out in the end. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers."

-President Gordon B. Hinckley
