Eating Until Blue In The Face

The Luau was Friday evening and I believe that it went well. I had some great help in getting everything set up and we had a turn out of over 50 people. Everyone brought a dish of food and a couple of guys from the Pack grilled chicken shish kabobs.

There were skits by some of the dens and some of the boys were awarded advancement of rank. One of these was our own Bubba who earned his Webelos Badge.

Another interesting aspect of our night was called Jonah's Revenge. During the past month the boys from the pack brought in money to "vote" for the lucky den/pack leaders to participate in Jonah's Revenge. All of the monies received were going to be matched by the pack and used for a piece of equipment for their school's playground. After all of the money was counted it seems that the boys favored their Pack Master and the Assistant Pack Master. So they had to use their faces and mouths to dig in a pie of blue pudding for five gummy fishes. Of course the boys all loved seeing the men digging into the pies. It was a really good evening and I was glad that everyone seemed to have a fun time.

Blue and Gold Banquet Time

This Friday it is once again time for our Blue and Gold Banquet in Cub Scouts. Our theme this year is a Luau. This is a really fun theme for any party (it was the planned theme of Butch's birthday pool party last year). So I, along with several others, will be decorating and preparing a room at a local church Friday afternoon for the big event. We had originally thought to have a pig roast to add a more traditional element, but that later seemed like a not so good idea for a mainly indoor event in February! That also means that there will not be any fire dancers at the Luau either. What kind of party are we having?!

Biblical Names

We have been trying to think of some names for our little girl and I thought I might see if any of you might have some suggestions. We are looking for a Biblical name we might possibly use for her middle name. We would also like to know the meaning that go along with the names. Here is where you come in. As most of you will know, female Biblical names are few and far between. So I am asking you to give us some female names and their meanings. I look forward to seeing who can tell us the most unique name. Also if you know where the name is located in the Bible please include that as well! I only ask that you do not include her first name for those of you that know it already.

Oh The Fun Of Birthdays

Do you remember the fun you had on birthdays? The fun gifts you got and getting to play with them. Like Christmas there are always toys that need some sort of assembly. It is amazing sometimes what parents or uncles will do for the kids in their lives. Poor Wesley was working on this Rody inflatable horse that kids can ride or bounce on. Only after several minutes he looked up laughing and stated that the engineers for this must have been crazy. Notice in the picture where they placed the valve to inflate this horse.


He was even good enough to help her take her first ride when she was scared to ride by herself. Grandmomma had even tried to ride before Wesley in an attempt to get L to ride her new horse, but it seems that Wesley just has a way with kids. He is not afraid to look goofy or silly. What child could ask for a better uncle than that?

Results Are In

We had the ultrasound yesterday. The baby is doing very well. All measurements were good and the baby measured a little ahead. As for how obliging the baby was about letting us learn whether it was a boy or a girl, I have to say that SHE was very good. Yes, we will be having our first little girl in June! We are all very excited about this newest addition and are eagerly awaiting the day of her arrival. Now we just have to think up a really good nickname for her.

Pink or Blue?

Okay, we go in tomorrow morning to find out what our little dumplin' is. What I want to see is a little poll as to what you think we will be having. I have heard a few friends tell me what they think, but I would like to see what all of you think. So please comment and put in your vote!
