Cub Scout Banquet

Last week we went to Jared's Cub Scout banquet. Here are a couple of pictures:

Jared during his speaking part for the skit. He did a fantastic job!

Jared getting his awards. We are so proud of him!

More Birthday Photos

Just a couple of pictures from Mariah's birthday party:

Mariah, her cousin (who is SO cute), Nona, Great-Grandma, and Aunt Keri:

Yes, she is STANDING on the seat. And enjoying every second of it, too!

The kids and some of their cousins:

Look, they can (sometimes) get along...as long as Spongebob is on!

Biased parent alert...isn't she cute?!?!?!

The Birthday Smash Cake

Well, we were set. Mariah had on her 1st Birthday bib, her highchair was decorated, the bath was ready, and she was stripped down to her onesie. Video camera in hand. Here is the much anticipated video...

If you're thinking to yourself, hey, she didn't touch it, then YEP, that's correct. The little stinker!

Our Indoor Playland

Before I even show you our playland pictures, I have to show you another Caleb "owie" pic. He bumped his lip, and of course, needed a bandaid to heal it immediately. (Also, Keith had fun with his hairgel beforehand, too):



Okay, here are the playland pictures. The kids were jumping on the couch and using the cushions as slides. (Never mind that our couch is really ugly and old. It's great for the kids, because it's not like we have to worry about them wrecking it or anything!):

Caleb and Meghan contemplating another slide:

Jared the Dude!

Mariah wants to get into the action, too.

Yep, she's now jumping on the couch (ugh)!

Yeah, I just taught my sister something new. Mommy is pretending to be a bit unhappy about it, but she'll get over it!



Hey, I'm just cool!

Mariah's birthday party is tomorrow...I'm sure we'll have more pictures for you to enjoy after that. (ESPECIALLY the Smash Cake! )
