Six Brothers, Six Eagles

When our six sons were all little, they talked about how they would all earn the Eagle Scout Rank.  They would talk about what kinds of a Eagle projects they would do and had a lot of fun at scout camps and earning merit badges.  Joel and Jarell finally completed their requirements and had their final interview and we started planning a trip to Logan so all the boys could be together for this special day.  Jon got a couple of days off so he could drive up with his family.  Grandma Jones decided to come up with the Kyles family. 
We had such a fun visit. The boys were all together for the first time in about five years and it was great to see them all together again.
Of course we had to get in the mood with "Two Sharp-Toothed Buzzards".

Then the Eagle Awards were presented.

They they got to pin the Mom and Dad pins on us.
 (Look at those grins as they contemplate what they would like to do!)
Then Dan and the boys formed an Eagles Nest and we took a lot of pictures.

Following the ceremony, we went to Josh and Ashlee's apartment and had more fun times visiting, eating and laughing.  It was a wonderful weekend!  How blessed we are to have such great men in our family! How grateful we are that we can spend time together.
