Boy Scouts Promotion Night

The start of a new year of Cub Scouts.  This means it is time for Promotion night.  Andrew was becoming a bear and Joshua became a wolf.   The boys really have been enjoying the Cub Scouts and are really looking forward to this year.  We are very proud of our Cub Scouts!

Outdoor fun with Seth

Now that Seth is walking more he loves to go outside and explore.  He was looking so cute with his little ball cap on and sandals I could not resist taking a few photos.  We also ended up getting out the little inflatable splash pool on this day because the sun came out.  I let Seth do some exploring in the water despite the fact that he still had on regular clothes and a regular diaper.  His diaper of course sucked up as much water as it could hold resulting in a very heavy and large diaper.  This made Seth look like he had a very large butt.  All of us had a good laugh at that one.

Happy 1st Birthday Seth

Our baby boy is turning one!  We made some yummy funfetti cupcakes for him and us to enjoy.  Andrew and Joshua were having a friend sleep over so he got to join us in the celebration.  All the boys were so excited that Seth was now one.  The year has gone by so fast.  Seth LOVED his cupcake.  Since we had all ready been to Build A Bear when the cousins were here and to Chuck E Cheese for Noah's birthday we just had a little celebration at home for Seth.  Happy Birthday to our sweet baby Seth!  We all love you so much.

 Happy First Birthday to Baby Seth!

Time to open presents for Seth.  All the boys helped him out!

Happy Birthday Noah

Our sweet boy, Noah, turned 4.  His birthday started out by having swim lessons.  Andrew and Joshua both had group lessons and Noah had a private lesson.  Afterward we went to 7-11 for one of our favorite treats, Slurpees.   I let them get a size bigger than we usually get and they also got edible straws!  This was a great way to start his birthday.  Grandpa Ron also came for a visit for a few days starting on Noah's birthday.  Grandpa Ron took us all out to celebrate at the kids favorite place, Chuck E Cheese.   All the boys had so much fun there.  Then we had Cold Stone Creamery ice cream cupcakes at home.  Finally he got to open presents.  We are so blessed to have Noah in our family.  Happy Birthday, Noah!

Pool Party

While the Scott family was visiting Aunt Rosemarie and Uncle Ted in Vancouver, WA we went down and  visited too.  Also Grandpa Ron put together a pool party at Uncle Ray and Aunt Dorothy's house also in Vancouver.  It was a great time for Grandpa Ron to see all his Grand kids together.  The day started out a little chilly for us.  Though that did not stop my boys from getting in the pool or hot tub.  Andrew and Joshua were in the pool pretty much from noon till 8pm!  They did get out from some food(Fuel) breaks.  Seth went in for a bit and even fell asleep in his little infant ring.  Noah loved being in the hot tub as did the Scott girls.  I even went in the pool and hot tub a few times.  I did do a bit of showing off with a back flip off the diving board.  The food was super yummy.  We loved visiting with all of the family that was there all in one place!  We ended the evening roasting marshmallows and visiting by the fire.  What a great time we all had.  Thank you Grandpa Ron, Aunt Dorothy and Uncle Ray.

Had to add this photo of Seth in his little Japanese out fit sent to him  from one of our dear  friends from Okinawa.
