Mitch received his Eagle at a Court of Honor at our home on my birthday! This is the best birthday present this mother could ask for. He actually received his Eagle in the mail several months prior and we were waiting for a court of honor. Without us knowing Mitch had told the Eagle specialist that he didn't need to be recognized so when I caught wind of this I asked Mitch if he would please do it for his mother.
It was such a wonderful ceremony and we all enjoyed seeing Mitch presented with his Eagle. Mitch's leader made the comment that he won the record for having the most girls at an Eagle project. Mitch had an overwhelming turn out---over 60 people came to help and support him with his project. Mitch was able to recognize all his leaders and mentors for their support and hard work in helping him through the many years of the scouting program.I enjoyed presenting him with a framed memento of his Eagle certificate, picture and pin that he can display on his wall.
It was such a great experience as a mom watching him grow and show such leadership during his Eagle project. His project was for Save The Family where he restored a home for a homeless family. He planned and led this project all by himself, but I had the privilege of driving with him to all the many places to get donations. It was such a wonderful experience for a mom to see the respect he commanded always being dressed in uniform and to see him grow in so many ways through the whole experience. I am so proud of you Mitch for the person you became and all you learned while achieving the highest rank in scouting! Thanks for the best birthday present ever!

Thanks, Greg loved the rain too, his favorite kind of day. He was just so excited to graduate. Laurisa did a great job with her speach, I was surprised they didnt have umbrellas for the speakers to see there notes. Congrats to Laurisa too, what great future at the Y , when does she leave? Grerg starts his papers this summer and will be ordained soon , he will be 19 in Sept. and hopes to be in the MTC by then or soon after, so maybe our kids will be in Provo at the same time :) Sure love your family.
Oh and Congrats to Mitch!!!! Greg did the same thing , he didnt want a Court of Honor. Maybe if Colin gets on the stick we will have a double one.
Your right that would be the best birthday present! What an accomplishment. All of your kids are such great examples. Must be because they have such amazing parents!
