Big Events
Last night was a big night for my older boys. At pack meeting, Baxter received a golden arrow point along with a couple more belt loops. He's worked hard all year and will move up to webelos next month.
Zander experienced his first pack meeting as a scout. He received his bobcat badge and a belt loop.
For the activity they became NASA agents working to save an egg from re-entering the Earth's atmosphere. That was a fun experience. What a big day for both of them! Good job boys.
Today the boys visited the dentist. Good news, no cavities!! Exciting news, Baxter got braces on his two front teeth! In three weeks he'll return to have the chain put on, which will bring them together. That should only take about 4 weeks! When asked to pick a color for the brackets, Baxter first chose his favorite color---YELLOW! The dental assistant and I worked together to convince him yellow might not be the way to go on teeth. His second choice was a great one, and perfect for the upcoming holiday--RED for Valentine's Day! Don't they look great?!

Zander's Big Day
We started out 2009 with a splash! Zander decided to be baptized on Saturday, January 3rd. Zander was so excited! It was a great day.
Zander chose not to plug his nose while being baptized. (You don't plug your nose when you swim.) His Grandpa Goble had to dunk him twice. Then his Grandpa Taylor confirmed him. Zander behaved wonderfully--for Zander.
Thanks to all the friends and family who supported Zander's big day.
I'm so proud of Zander for choosing to make this covenant with his Heavenly Father. I hope he'll always live up to it.
