I think I forgot to mention that BYU Quarterback MAX HALL was the speaker and guest of honor at tonight's "Blue & White" (instead of blue & gold) scout pack meeting/banquet. He was very inspiring, humble, and gave the scouts great advice about succeeding in scouts, sports, and life. We all gave each other the jab/wink/laugh as he told about persevering in things like piano as well! (I couldn't take the contention in the home with arguments over practicing so the kids quit piano in December). He did a great job.
Of course you know what they say...behind every good man is a good woman, so I had to snap a picture of his lovely wife (it's OK--she told me she has a blog too and so she understands me:) Oww babe-uh! Remind me to wear this outfit when I don't have 5 muffin-tops!
The Bishop getting in some good holding time with a few of the youngest in the ward:)
We also had the "back-up" QB there to sign autographs and speak! He did a great job as well.
Our ward rocks with people like former BYU kicker Jared McLaughlin!
The boys were thrilled to have their shirts signed...
footballs signed...
more signing!
A fun night for the boys and the whole family with yummy pulled BBQ pork sandwiches and salads followed by cake for dessert.
They had jerseys there to take some pics. Max was pretty swamped or we would have grabbed him for another picture here! Good job boys on earning your basketball pins! Did I mention that LDS artist JENNY PHILLIPS is coming to our ward for a fireside in 2 weeks? If not, I was just dropping that name as well. I think that's it...unless you didn't know that I was married to "THE" Steve Dimond:)

What a fun night. We just had our banquet too, but no famous speakers attended. At least they're not famous yet!
What a fun night for those boys. I know my boys would have LOVED to meet Max Hall.

What a great week you are having. And now I can spread the word to everyone I know with one of those story starters like, "This really cool thing happened at my cousin's son's cub scout banquet..." Congrats to Mikelle on her goal!
