We have TWO more Eagle Scouts!.


Nathan and Daniel have earned their Eagle Scout Awards! We will be having the Court of Honor on Saturday, August 2. We are hoping many of our friends and family will be able to attend. We are very proud of their accomplishments and sorry that they have had to wait so long for me to get a Court of Honor going. Rob and I went camping for the 24th of July. We went up to Spruces in Big Cottonwood Canyon. We went on a short but pretty intense hike on Wednesday where I slid on some loose dirt going down the hill and twisted my knee pretty bad. So, on Thursday, I mostly sat with my leg up and ice on my knee while I wrote a talk for Sunday. Turned out that the new bishopric member who asked me to speak didn't realize that the High Councilor would bring his own speaking companion and I didn't speak after all! My knee is feeling a lot better now, I guess I need to be more careful next time we are hiking. Anyway the camping trip was very relaxing with no phones or kids or anyone wanting my attention or time. We really enjoyed it. August is looking like a very busy month coming up. Hope we get through it well! On thing that I am very proud of is the fact that I made a slide show DVD of the boys with music for the Court of Honor! I used to have them made when I needed them and then I thought that it would certainly be less expensive to buy software and do them myself. Once I learned the process, it was fun! Stephanie and Jessica were big helps as well! If you are at the Court of Honor, you will see the show!
