Friday night was the annual cub scout Blue and Gold Banquet. Blue and Gold banquet, for those of you not "in the know" is a celebration of the anniversary of boy scouting. Additionally, all the scouts earn their rank badges. It's a lot of fun for the kiddos. This year we had a photographer, Jenna Whidby, on hand to take pictures. Our family did not partake in the pictures because I had been up at the middle school since 4:00 preparing for the banquet itself, and was in no condition to have my disheveled state documented. Grant however, had no problems smiling for the camera. Which is a bit odd, since normally he shies from a camera like an aboriginal believing his soul will be taken. I'm sure it had something to do with the fact that his best friend in the whole world, Landon was in the picture too. Landon is on Grant's baseball team, his "seat buddy" in Mrs. Golden's kindergarten class, and his future "Tiger" den mate. No, Landon is NOT the little boy on the right. Landon is the little boy in the middle...the little boy on the right is Landon's four year old brother. Yes, my children may be a bit vertically challenged, but to be fair, Landon and Reid are giants! As a bonus, this awesome little duo comes with a big brother, Hayden...considered to be, by Jackson, the coolest boy ever. Hayden is in third grade, and of course, that very fact alone is cool. Luckily, Hayden is also a super sweet kiddo, so we count ourselves pretty lucky! I don't yet have the picture documenting this, but I've been told Grant is in Landon's family picture. What's one more boy when you already have 3?
