The Eagle (at last!)

Today was Wil's Eagle Scout Court of Honor.


It's been a long final stretch, that paperwork was a beast.


Here are my two Eagle Scouts:

During deer hunting season this is one way to protect your yard decorations

Wil performing at the "Academy Has Talent" night and also MC'd the event wowing his Mom!

For all of you who are far away and missing home...I love you and here are reminders

Autumn decorations!!!

Went to work, and the leaves were on the tree.....came home....and they were on the ground. Can you locate the sidewalk??? Neither could I :)

and the following month in Idaho I accompanied McKay to the Rexburg Idaho Temple

Family Reunion 2009

The highlight of the 2009 family reunion was to accompany Verity to the Winter Quarters Temple

Valentine Surprise

A gift from Karen Bezet in appreciation for my dedicated service to Helping Hand

Freedom Riders

Honoring Chief Warrant Officer Matthew G. Kelley

Protestors came to Cameron to protest the war. They left after a brief appearance when they could see the enormous community support. Jesh and I along with Amber and Phoglets stood along the route to the cemetary waving our flags. Jesh found a Vietnam War Veteran and shared his large flag. There were 300 Freedom Rider bikers there to escort the funeral procession and a thousand people from the surrounding counties waving flags in support along the route. Fire trucks were lined up at the police department from all the surrounding communities with their lights flashing. Jesh said he needed to see this kind of support for our troops. We live in the heartland and we appreciate the sacrifice our soldiers and their families make to provide us with our daily freedom.

Small town Bill-of-Fare

If you are an adventurous eater, I know this place fifteen minutes away where we can eat out on Friday nights.

Just keep thinking... just keep thinking... just keep thinking... thinking... thinking.

Susannah, Nana, Karen Joy and Wil went to the Nelson-Atkins Art Museum on January 3rd. This is Karen and Wil "holding up" a shuttle cock. Silly kids. :)-
