Logan's latest

Logan played his second year of Jr. Jazz and really enjoyed it.  He tried hard and really improved his skills.  Like Trevor was, Logan isn't very competitive when playing sports, but did enjoy playing defense.  His coach taught them how to stay in certain areas and pass the ball to each other, which helped everyone to be involved and have chances to shoot the ball.  Logan made a few baskets, most of which Pete missed seeing as the games started at the same time he got off work and Logan inevitably would score early in the game.  Pete did get to see one of them in the last game.  Kylie enjoyed cheering Logan and his team on.  And I enjoyed having a good camera and zoom lense to take pictures with (my new Nikon DSLR), since gyms are notorious for bad lighting and the bleachers are a bit away from the court.

Logan has also been busy with cub scouts since they started a Tiger den in the area this fall.  He has now moved on to the Wolf den, and lucky me (sarcasm), I'm his den leader.  This is my second time around as I was also Trevor's den leader for Wolves and Bears.  At least this time they have a manual that guides you with each den meeting so I don't have to come up with ideas on my own.  We have a full group of 8 boys, so I have my hands full.  Logan is of course the one who gives me the most grief during our meetings (now I have an idea how his teachers at school must feel...we've been having issues there lately as well). 
They had their Blue and Gold Banquet in February and had a cake auction fund raiser as part of it.  We made the following cake:
It was so easy, if the Boy Scouts have their annual spaghetti dinner and cake auction this year, we'll probably make the same one for Trevor to take.

Newest cousin

We welcomed the newest cousin to the family on 1/10/11 - Lila Brenda Bangerter, daughter of Nick and Darci.  She is such a doll, a tiny little thing with big eyes and dark curly hair.  Kylie was so excited, she LOVES babies!  Now we're almost even - 6 boys and 5 girls.  At Lila's blessing I rounded up all the kids and took some pictures, didn't get all of them smiling but at least they were looking at the camera (except for Lila of course).
(I love how tiny she looks in Pete's arm.)
What a good-looking bunch!
