Is my baby boy really 11 years old already? Davis is growing up much too fast for my liking. He is such a sweet boy and a great brother to his siblings.
We had our traditional family birthday party and Davis actually requested a cake! Don has turned all of my children away from cakes on their birthdays and it seemed like forever since I got to bake one. Davis even picked a double decker chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and chocolate ganache for the filling. Mmmm. Ok, so I might have sort of talked him into it. But, he loved it!
Davis was pretty excited about his long board, but I think his dad might have been even more excited to give it to him. We bought it in California, so it's a true CA long board. And Don even made a pole for him.
Turning 11 means, you move from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts. It's a big deal and you earn your Arrow of Light as well. Pack Meeting landed on his birthday so he got to celebrate with all the Scouts in our ward. I spent hours making his arrow that illustrates his journey through Cub Scouts. It's pretty cool and he thinks so too.
Crossing the bridge from cub scouts to boy scouts with his awesome Scout leaders!
And just FYI, he usually doesn't wear his swim trunks with his Scout shirt, but the boys were all swimming as part of pack meeting. :)
To finish off Davis' birthday celebration, Don took the kids on a night ride. Davis was pretty excited to be on a board just like his dad. Too bad he bailed pretty bad in his first few moments trying it out. :)
Happy Birthday, Davis! We love you!

Happy Birthday to your Davis!!! Looks like he had a great celebration.
Hours on an arrow?? Ugh. :)
John asks, "Did he get a teeth guard with that?" HAHA!
Fun to see Don with a long board!
Yay Davis! Happy Birthday!
So what do your kids request if they don't want cake? Ice cream cake?
Super cute last picture :) I can not wait until Porter is old enough to play outdoors with Joseph and me!
