Former Stake YM's Presidency & Stake President Bonner posing for a picture at Court of Honor, they may look a little awkward, as I was taking the picture, they were squishing in close and I said, it's ok, I have a wide lense ... and then the comments start to flow from them .. "what are you saying" ... yeah, whatever!

Good support from family to attend the court of honor. I think we had a total of 5 out of 15 units attended this court of honor but with their family, it was a good head count. Maybe next year we will have just a good a showing or better. This years number definitely tripled and more the number of people in attendance!


So, we thought that Mitchell earned a lot of merit badges (he did over 50) but this kid who is only 16 and still has 2 years left to earn more, currently has earned 84, I think he has a good chance of earning as many as BSA will have to offer! :-)

Today as we continue our adventure with apartment hunting. We have seen 3 apartments in the past week. We really liked one, was ok with the other 2 but they are smaller. We bumped into the Rebarchik's (John & Heidi), which is so funny as we showed up to look at the same apartment this morning. As we left, I put in a quick good word with the landlord, "these 2 are great people!". I hope if they want the place that they'll get it, it seemed to small to us! We are continuing to search and hope to get a new place soon. In the meantime, our participation in Scouting continues. Today we attending a Scouting Court of Honor & Woodbadge Beading Ceremony. Paul, was a troop guide to one of the beaders and ended up being the MC for the ceremony.

Pinewood Derby

I am so relieved that this day is over but I am especially grateful to those that help me accomplish this goal that will help me towards earning my Woodbadge Ticket! The boys seem to have fun! The parents seem to be happy and some brought their families to help support their cub!
