Andrew gets the Bear Badge!





Andrew is now officially a Bear Scout! I thought he would die when the older scouts had to draw on his face, but he held it together and I think he was actually quite proud. All the different colored marks on his face stand for a different part of the boy scout trail. Pretty neat! He was also so proud to make a batch of brownies all by himself from box to cut up on the plate! All I did was take them out of the oven because he was doing the dishes (which I had to redo later)! After we arrived at the Blue and Gold Banquet, he discovered an egg shell in one of his brownies... oops! :)
Two great accomplishments, Andrew! Way to go! :)

Breaking Boards!


What a treat to be invited to "break boards" with our friends, Caleb and Nathan! We went to Premier Martial Arts and had a great afternoon breaking boards, learning about self defense, saw a cool martial arts demonstration, and had pizza. All three boys broke at least 2 boards... even Colton! It was so awesome to see them decked out in their Gi breaking boards with the palm of their hands! Thanks Hannemanns! :)
