Recently our youngest son Talmage earned his Eagle award from the Boy Scouts of America. This makes our sixth Eagle for our six boys! I'm feeling good about being done. The other night, Talmage and his good friend Jon had a joint Eagle Court of Honor.
Talmage's friend's mother was the organizer for this Court of Honor. She asked her son what he wanted at this event and he wanted a lot of food--like a dinner. So this meant quite a bit more effort. We were put in charge of the program which Scott took care of, thankfully. I worked on printing the programs and bringing the paper goods plus a bunch of fruit. The other family set up the gym, put together a slide presentation of the two boys, and did some decorating. The other mom also made an elaborate Eagle quilt for her son which was quite amazing--I got a picture of it off of Facebook which doesn't really do it justice.
We appreciated the support from family and friends and it went well.
Here are a few pictures from our past Eagles. The last Court of Honor was a triple Court of Honor in April 2012 for Garrett, Lincoln, and Everett. Incidentally, this is the last time I saw my sister-in-law Alice before she died. Sadly, I did not get a picture of her at this event. She told me how she hoped her little boys would get their Eagles--I hope that happens too.
The previous Court of Honor was held a few months before in February, 2012, right before Jan left on his mission. We were hoping that the four boys could get theirs all at the same time but it didn't quite happen.
Our first Court of Honor was held in the spring of 2007 and it was for David.

| Isn't this the cutest color guard ever? Lincoln, Everett, and Garrett. |

| I think David got his Eagle and Everett got his Arrow of Light on the same evening. |
