Big news at our house

   I am trying to make my blog a halfway decent history of my year but I don't always take pictures so I don't blog everything because I think that is boring.  So I have to repent and take more pics or just be content to write more anyway.....enough said  A recent noteworthy event at our house was Nephi's court of honor.   Way cool!   every parent needs the experience.    Just when I think the kid couldn't be anymore difficult, stupid, thoughtless or clueless I  look up at him in his Scout uniform..... at all of his 6'4" handsomeness with a fresh haircut,  giving a super impressive-general authority- in- the- making speech and my heart is filled with pride and yes....hope!   This kid might have a future after all,  he might graduate from highschool and even do the missionary thing.  When I pinned that Eagle award on him  it was like magic,  whooo hooo..  a big cheer for Nephi's future!   Here is a pic of him on his project.  I think that it was cool that at one of our church camps (Zions)  they name the different camping areas by book of mormon names, so now in 'King Benjamins' camp there is a new stage that was Nephi Smith's Eagle project.

      My husband has been the Scout Master for 6 years so it was also awesome for me to see him in action pulling together the best Court of Honor that I have ever been too.  He was as impressive as his son and just as handsome.
