My Girls

 

My Cub Scout!

Once Ben turned 8 he also started Cub Scouts! I was so not ready for this. A scheduled activity; every Wednesday; during the same time Emma had her Girls Activity Day; with a napping baby (I really hate waking up napping babies!). It ended up working out just fine thanks to a friend of mine who took our sons to scouts while I took our daughters to their activity. And Ben has loved Cub Scouts! It encompasses everything that he loves. And he’s awfully handsome in his uniform!

What a big day!

Two days after Ben turned 8, he was baptized into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

What a handsome young man!

It was so nice to have all of Adam’s family be with us that weekend! I looked at all the family pictures so many times trying to find one where everyone was actually looking at the camera and maybe smiling. That being impossible, I settled for all the adults looking good – and I found one! At least Sydney wasn’t screaming anymore; and I can always count on Spencer to make any face that I wish he wouldn’t while taking pictures. :)

Happy family!

What a wonderful day and a fun family weekend!

Many Moons Ago

Emma and Ben have let me know that I really need to update the blog! And Ben has reminded several times that there are pictures from Spencer’s birthday, but not his – even though their birthdays are only two weeks apart.  So, back in February, Ben turned 8! My kids are growing up so fast!

He asked for a lot of Legos for his birthday.

And he wanted a solar system cake just like he had last year.

Happy Birthday Ben! (7 months late.)
