the trophy...

this past Saturday was Jaden's Cub Scout Blue & Gold banquet...it's sort of a year-end thing (even tho they'll still have activities over the summer)...parents, grandparents, aunts & uncles come out to enjoy a big meal & support their young Scout

this is also the time when the boys display their derby cars & have their family members vote on the "most original" design...each quarter in your kiddos' bag/box/can = 1 vote...& all the money raised goes back into supporting our boys' Scout Pack

pins/badges/beltloops are also awarded to the boys...Jaden earned some of each that night!

then the moment that the boys have been waiting for...time for the trophies to be handed out!

Jaden knew he'd be getting one...he won the Pinewood Derby race in January & knew a 1st place trophy was coming his way...when he checked out the trophy table & found out his was blue (if u know Jaden, u know everything must be blue), he flipped his lid! ~lol~

& when the Webelo I top 3 were called up, u could see how proud he was to be included...look at that puffed out chest!!!

he was super proud to win at the actual race! but having the real-live trophy, in his hot little hands, totally sealed the deal...plus it's BLUE! ~lol~

he was actually kissing it the whole way home...i love this kid!!!
