Yeah Josh!!! (Two Down, Three to Go!)

Congratulations to Josh for earning his Eagle Scout Award. Yeah!!!!! No more nagging from mom!!! (I'm sure Josh is ecstatic about that!)

We are so proud of Josh--all of you Eagle Scouts and Eagle Scout moms know how much work it is to get this award. For his project, Josh painted the white triangles on the roads that direct emergency vehicles to fire hydrants. He did the South half of Mapleton, with lots of help from his scouting buddies and leaders. They were awesome, too!

He received his award at Timberline Scout Camp last night. It was a great experience and we loved watching him receive his award. During the ceremony, I had a chance to tell everyone there what a great kid he is and to talk a little bit about him and how hard he has worked. He chose to give his mentor pin to Rob, which was cool! Way to go, Josh...you are awesome and we love you!

Officially an Eagle Scout!

Our three handsome scouts. We left these guys at Timberline for the week. I hope they have a great time. It's Zack's first year, so I'm glad he has his brothers there with him. The house has sure been quiet today, with just four kids running around. I'll be glad when they get home!

Now, some more back-blogging. Since my blog was still on my to-do list last year, I wanted to talk about Ty's Eagle Court of Honor too. He received his Eagle award last May. We are so proud of him, too! For his project, he poured cement rings around the fire pits at the Bennion Creek Campground. Again, lots and lots of work! Great job, Ty!

Dad, Mom, and Ty--Congratulations!

We are proud of these two, and they have set a great example for Zack, Caden, and Cooper. I'm just glad we will have a little breather after Zack gets his, before Caden and Cooper get started. I'm gonna need it!
