Family Pics

Last minute family pictures before Jeff left for training.

Lake McIntosh was the location and

Mike & Carmen were thankfully the photographers:)

A Century of Honor

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the Boy Scouts of America present "A Century of Honor" (http://scouts100.lds.org/?cid=HPSA102613127) which commemorates the 100-year relationship between the Church and BSA.  Hundreds of Scouts participated in the program, featuring scout choirs, historical vignettes and videos highlighting important events, service and achievements from the past century.

Scouting’s most tenured national executive board member, President Thomas S. Monson, remains a champion of the Scouting program and its enduring partnership with the Church in the United States.

“Scouting brings out the best in each of us,” he has said. “You’ve learned much from Scouting. Live what you’ve learned and continue to learn. Help others to hike the trails, to keep steadfast in the paths of truth, of honor, of duty, that all of you can soar together on eagles’ wings.”

Halloween

Love our Trunk and Trick or Treaters

 

Stanchions

Working in the scouting program gives many opportunities to help with eagle projects.

Jerry made stanchions for the upcoming Festival of Nativities. 

 Great work guys and can't wait to see them in December.

 

Happy Day J

Our sweet baby is now in the double digits.

He asked if he'd make it to the triples;)

We love you Justin!

Chef Nick

Jeff has been helping the scouts work on their cooking merit badge.

Nick is quite the chef - yum!

 

50 Miles

Jeff and Nick completed a 50 mile bike ride on the Silver Comet today. 

This earned Nick the Cycling Merit Badge and big time bragging rights;)

Jeff, Nick and eight other scouts and leaders have been training for the past six weeks. Distances started at 10 miles and worked up to 25 mile rides. Last night they camped at Rockmart and this morning spent a beautiful day biking 50 miles.
Way to go Nick and Daddy!

 

 

Sally

Meet Jeff's new baby...Sally! She created quite a stir on facebook for a few days while many thought we adopted a red headed baby girl.  Jeff has wanted this kind of car since high school and given that we needed a third vehicle with Brandon driving, this was the perfect excuse.  Jeff spent months researching and looking at many different Mustangs.  Earl sent this 69 convertible from e-bay.  We've never bought anything from e-bay, but Jeff bid and got a great deal on this baby.  He flew up to VA to pick her up and drove 13+ hours straight to bring her home...grinning all the way;)

The boys love Sally - she's a perfect little/big sister!
