It's almost here

The time is almost here. It has been a long journey, but one that was well worth it. I can't believe that Kyle did his Eagle Project back in February of this year and now almost 9 months later we're finally to the Eagle Court of Honor. I was way more concerened about the Eagle Board of Review then Kyle was. I have to admit that I put it off as long as I could. Then summer came to an end and with school starting back up I knew Kyle needed to get this done. What a great job he has done. We're so proud of him and excited for the ceremony.

Earlier this year his Boy Scout Troop went on a campout on the Mormon Batalion Trail and earned a special badge for doing that. He also will be able to have members of the Mormon Batalion come and present him with a special neckerchief slide. That will be a special item to have his entire life.

San Diego Vacation

Yup, it was time again for our annual school Fall Break Escape to San Diego. This time I wanted to finally get some family photos of us. We haven't had a real family photo taken of our family since Kyle was about 2 yrs old. THAT'S SAD. I even had someone else take them for us, so I didn't have to be running back and forth to the camera on the tripod, didn't have to worry about getting everyone looking at the camera instead of at me running back to get in the shot.

Never the less......here are some of my favorites.

We also went to the Mormon Batalion Center while we were there. If anyone is going to San Diego and has thought about going there.....DO IT! It was so neat. The boys murmured the whole time we were driving there, but they had an absolute blast there. They loved it and so did Kayla.



Kyle wanted to know why Nathan wasn't smiling in this picture. I told hiim that if he'll look at old photos, he'll see that nobody ever smiled in their pictures. Nathan was just trying to fit in with the time.
