Father / Son - Daughter Cake Baking Contest - 2012

Cub Scout Blue and Gold - 2012

Wow, has it been a year already since the last Blue and Gold dinner? Well, it’s that time again.

The Blue and Gold dinner in our ward is always fun and this year was no exception, but someone forgot to bring ketchup for the hotdogs! Oh well, it was fun anyway. Ian got several awards (including his basketball belt loop and some silver arrows he didn’t get several months ago) and basically had a good time.

Of course, we can’t forget the annual “Father / Son Cake Baking Contest”. Below are some photos of the kids making their cakes. To be fair the kids did most everything themselves, at least the decorating anyway. Their Nanna baked the cakes.

Ian’s was a chocolate cake decorated with a fishing rod and fish, and Cami’s was a yellow cake decorated with a husky in the mountains.

Just to make you hungry we made our own butter crème icing. No store bought junk for us.

On a sad note no one but ourselves took a single piece of either cake while other kids’ cakes were devoured. Hmm…They really were yummy so I don’t know why people gave our cakes a pass.

On an even sadder note this will be Ian’s last Blue and Gold dinner because he will be 11 years old before next February and will be in Boy Scouts.

Oh, before I forget Ian won the “Best Sports Themed” award and Cami won the “Most Peaceful Husky” award.

It has been such a long time since we've heard from Flat Ginny that we were beginning to think something awful happened to her, but she's back and ready to go! Here she is in all her glory entertaining us with the "Flat Ginny Show"! We hope you enjoy it...


P.S. Hopefully the video will work with this crazy gizmo...
