Bobcat Man!

Awhile ago, Carter earned his Bobcat in cub scouts.  We missed a couple pack meetings because of vacations/baseball tournaments, so he wasn't able to get it till the end of summer.  He had the privilege of wearing the Bobcat mask at the pack meeting in August.  Way to go Buddy!  I love that we came right from a baseball game so he didn't have his scout uniform on.

Looking at these pictures make me want to go back in time.  Back when it was warm.  Back when we had baseball games to go see. I LOVE BASEBALL GAMES.  Back when our skin glowed with tans.  Oh boy do I miss summertime.

  

 When the cub scouts earn their awards, the boys get to give their moms a pin to wear.  Because lets be honest....What little boy can get far in scouts without their mom pushing them along the way:)

I love this little guy of mine!

Cub Scout Camp

Troy has been counting down the days/years till he could go to scout camp.  Tanner has gone for the last couple of years and had a blast.  He would come home and tell the other boys all about it and they would  get so excited  and couldn't wait till they could go.  Well, this year was Troy's year.  Carter gets to go next year!!!

Troy was lucky enough to have his daddy-o tag along with him!  I know that Troy LOVES having one on one time with his dad.

Look at the guy in the corner of the picture.  He looks terrified.  I love the expression on the his face!!  Guess Troy was kind of crazy with the bow shooting:)

These boys came home soooo dirty but they had HUGE smiles on their faces:)

Pinewood Derby

 Troy had his very first pinewood derby.  He was so excited to work on it with his dad.  He came up with the design all by himself.  I think he had a rocket ship in mind when designing it.  He worked so hard on that cool car of his.

The only problem was his silly parents didn't read all the instructions to find out that the car could weigh up to 5 oz.  The more it weighs the faster it goes.... Who knew?!?!  His car weighed in at 3.2 oz.  Needless to say, our little man's car didn't take first place.  I think he was a little bummed.  But, we still had a fun time watching all the races.

 Good Job Troyster!

Love you Buddy!

Tanner's big night.....

Tanner has been working so hard in cub scouts during the last year.  He wanted to be able to get all he could get done before turning 11 years old and moving into the boy scouts.  He did great!

March's Pack Meeting was quite the "Tanner Show."  He received lots rewards that night!

Faith in God Award

given to him by Bishop Murray

Webelos Award

(side note: Troy got welcomed into scouts tonight.  He is so excited to finally be a Cub Scout.)

Arrow of Light Arrow

This award was fun for the whole family.  We all got to take a turn painting his face with the paint.  He was even lucky enough to have his grandparents there to join in on the fun.  

 The finish product....not too bad for 1st timers!

This is the award that they leaders make for him to hang in his bedroom.

Tanner making the crossover from cub scouts to boy scouts.  Man Oh Man! My little boy is growing up!

Good Job Buddy on all the hard work you have done through out the last year!  Next step: Getting your Eagle!  We know you can do it! 

Tanner's Pack Meeting

Tanner earned his Bear!!! He has been working so hard on trying to earn it before he turns 10 and he did it with a couple months to spare. Way to go Buddy! Clint is the Assistant Cub Master in our ward. Since the Cub Master couldn't make it to the pack meeting, Clint was the one to reward Tanner with his badge. He also earned one gold and 3 silver arrow points!

Tanner was asked "What were some of the fun things you have done to earn your bear?" He was quick to reply "I loved going to Gardner Village. And I loved learning how to play ping pong."

He has two of the sweetest scout leaders. They are both so good with the kids and always make it so fun for them:) He is really going to miss them when he moves into Webelos in a couple of months.

Tanner ~ I'm so proud of you and all of the hard work that you have put into scouts this past year. Not too much longer and you will be our little eagle scout. You'll be the first in our family! I hope you're planning on it:) We love you so much!

WOLFMAN

Tanner got his Wolf in Scouts last week. (3/30)

He also got a gold arrow and a silver arrow.

We love our TAN TAN!!!

Congrats Buddy!

Bobcat Award

Last night at his Pack Meeting, Tanner received his Bobcat! Which hopefully will be the first of many awards to come.

I was called up front and Tanner got to pin a bobcat pin on me. How fun that the moms get something too.


Clint could not make it to the pack meeting so Troy and Carter filled in for him:) Thanks boys!
