Guess who is officially an Eagle Scout?

 If you answered Clark then you have answered correctly!  Last night we had Clark's Eagle Court of Honor. And even though I am so excited for him, I am glad we are done planning it.  It was a long road to get here, but I think he is glad to be done with this part of scouting.  He has had some wonderful scoutmasters here in the scouting program in our ward.  They were so willing to help and right there at the end his teachers quorum leader/asst. scout master was the one that pushed him to finally finish an get his Eagle.
This picture was taken this evening.  I realized I didn't get a picture of him last night, but then it was dark when we finished and I am glad we waited till this afternoon. Pictures always look better outside anyways,I think!

(Don't mind me I was trying not to cry, I was tearing up.)  It is hard for me to sit and watch your kids grow and accomplish these great things without me getting emotional.
I am so proud of Clark for his decision to become an Eagle Scout.  I know it will come in handy later in his life, maybe even sooner.  I am also grateful for the friends he has made through the church and the scouting program.  I love you Clark and I am so glad I get to be your mom.  Congratulations!!

He has more stuff that didn't make it to the church, but that is okay he had all of his Eagle project stuff there.
Once Clark's old neckerchief was off Andrew had to have it on.  As we were saluting as they were retrieving the flag I looked down and Andrew was trying to salute like the scouts were.  It was so priceless.  He is such a funny kid.
