Blue and Gold

Happy Birthday Scouting

Seth had his first blue and gold dinner back in February. The best part was seeing all the cakes and eating them all. Seth and Matt did a great job of decorating under my supervision :) I think the best part for him was at the end when they passed out the pinewood derby kits. He wanted to open it up right then to get started. Luckily they are cutting the blocks of wood into the style they want this Wednesday. The next step is preparing him for the reality that he won't win everything. Happy Scouting!

Paige did WHAT?!?!

Tatsu

Yesterday Paige went to a birthday party. No ordinary birthday party, they went to Magic Mountain!! Which is so much fun, but Paige has never been and hasn't been on roller coasters quite like those. She texted my at one point and said they went on X2 first, and when they were on Tatsu her glasses fell off and she caught them. Nice reflexes Paige! She had a great time and liked all the rides they had time to go on. Now I have someone to go to Magic Mountain with. Grandpa, want to come? :)

X2

When I went with Marc and Aimee a few years ago we weren't sure if we wanted to do this ride. Then we found out it was closed, that made our decision for us. I didn't know until Paige told me that you are flipping around the same time you are on the track. CRAZY! Plus the first drop is straight down!

Our new Cub :)

Seth turned 8 and started cub scouts! He is loving it and even got his first belt award (biking) at his first pack meeting. He is so excited about wearing the uniform and making sure I put on all the patches he needs to look just like the other boys. I am learning as we go, but I know nothing about scouts!! Should be fun!
