Spaghetti and Meatballs

For cub scouts, Zachary and Travis had to make a father/son cake

to be auctioned off to raise money for scouts.

After seeing last years pictures, and all the great cakes they had, 

we were really excited to make something GREAT!

Zach and Travis decided on a pizza cake,

but when I went our shopping for items

I could not find anything that I could make a pepperoni out of! 

I was not very creative and decided on a whim to make a flag.

We Salute the flag at the start of every meeting, so it seemed fitting.

Well, I got home and was not feeling great about my flag decision.

I started looking around online and found Ciao Chow Linda

After looking over the ingredients, I had just about everything to make this cake.

I emailed Trav to get the remaining 2 things I needed.

I did bits and pieces of the cake, but the majority was done by Travis and Zach

and they did a fantastic job!

Last night was the auction and our cake went for the 2nd highest, 

at $41 ! We were pretty excited! 

Everyone thought it was pretty cool! 

And I was pretty impressed with how my guys did!

Here are all the boys and the cakes they made.

The boys all voted on their favorite

and the Angry Birds cake won!

There was an M&M's cake, a bowling lane, a race track, legos, etc. 

Everyone did a fantastic job!

Scouting Fun!

Zach had his first outdoor scouting event a couple of weekends ago. 

We headed up to Camp Cowles for a day of BB Guns, Archery, fishing, bike riding,

animals, food and friends. 

A couple of Zach's buddies also do Cub Scouts, and he is enjoying getting to hang out with them more often. 

Here are a few of the activities in motion.

There is an arrow in the yellow! What a great shot!

Do you like Popcorn?

Do you like popcorn? Do you want to help support a fundraiser?

Zachary is selling popcorn for his Cub Scout fundraiser! 

This is the only fundraiser his troop does each year, and the money goes towards the activities they participate in through out the year! 

Any support you are able to give would be great!

Here is the link to the website! You can purchase smaller boxes through the catalog, so if you see something you want but want a smaller amount, let me know and I can see what they have! 

Thank you for helping Zachary with his Cub Scout fundraiser!

(Look a couple of posts down to see the handsome Scout himself!)

Life as a Scout!

Here is my little Cub Scout! 

Zachary started Cub Scouts this year and is already enjoying it so much! 

He is excited to get involved and earn badges! 

I hope this excitement stays because this is something he can do for a long time if he chooses! 

We have already been to a couple of Pack meetings/Den meetings and 

are looking forward to some events coming up!
