Reminders not syncing across iPhone, iPad, and MacBook

I have a macbook, iphone, and 2 ipads. All are signed in to the same icloud account and all of them have icloud turned on for reminders. I am having issues with syncing reminders. They match on the macbook, one of the ipads, and also on icloud.com (My 3 "good" lists). My phone and second ipad have old reminders, but they will not sync with the other devices or with icloud.com or with each other. I have toggled icloud off, waited, restarted both devices and turned icloud back on. When I do that, the two devices update with the same old lists, but they don't match the other 3 "good" lists. Further, if I make a change on one of the "bad" lists, they don't sync with each other. The "bad" devices also don't show changes in shared lists, but the "good" devices do. To make things even weirder, if I make a change in my Notes app, that change syncs across all devices, so I know the icloud account is the same. Where else can I look?

iCloud Sync Issues:

Being all this filling with logins and logouts are not working, perform the following for ALL of your devices...


New iCloud Sessions and Install Latest Updates:

Log out of iCloud on each device, and then restart the device, and then log back in. Also, back up ALL of your devices, and then install the latest operating system updates. Finally, back it up ALL of your device, once more. That way your can have something to restore it from, should anything go wrong from here on out.
