This Tuesday for the YM's activity the priests made dinner for their mothers. I had some running around to do but eventually joined the dinner. (It was at our house.) Jeff was getting into town that night too. It was very nice. Blake made jello, others made chicken and rice and beans (I think). We played Celestial partners, with some of the questions tweeked so that we could see how well we knew each other. We didn't win but were a close 2nd place. Blake is a great son.
Speaking of... Wed we went to Blake's eagle Board of Review. Mitch Mason was his advicate and Russ Allen and Brian Merritt were on the board. Jeff and Cason's opthomologist was the head on the board. I new I had met him before. It went well and BLAKE IS NOW AN EAGLE SCOUT!!!!
I can't tell you how happy I am that he is done, and with months to spare. For his eagle project he built a fence for the ACR here in Aloha. Once he tore down the other fence it was easy to see that they were not utilizing all that was available, so they changed things right on the spot. Blake arrange for a CAT to come in and flatten all of the dirt inside and outside the new fence line. Jerry Janeck had a great contact that came and did it for free. It took at good portion of a Sat. There were many great men that helped make this all happen. I sure appreciate all that each of the leaders have done to teach and help Blake become a man, especially Jeff. I sure have a great husband.

Congratulations Blake! And congrats to mom and dad too. That is a huge accomplishment and one that is well worth achieving.
Good job Blake! How exciting.
When we had boy #4 I said to Jesse, "Scouts...forever" :)

that's great! Congratulations Blake
I remember when Blake was about 6 years old and now my own son is getting ready to turn 6. Woah! Time flies by so fast. Good job for raising such a good boy....almost man! Before I know it it will be my turn too:0)Weird to think about!
Yay Blake! What an accomplishment!
I read somewhere recently that only 4% of scouts earn their eagle...that means your son has become one of a very select few...hard to remember when so many boys in the church earn their eagles...but when you look at the bigger picture, you realize just how amazing it is!
Congratulations!
congrats to Blake. Can you believe he is old enough to be doing all this stuff? I can't.
