One of the most wonderful sounds!

I have come to the understanding that one of the most wonderful sounds to me is the sound of laughter. Especially my children laughing. When they play together and just get laughing hard....it's a wonderful sound. When they are just entertaining themselves and think they are really funny, and just start laughing.....it's a wonderful sound. While enjoying a funny movie and you can't even see the movie but you can hear them laughing......it's a wonderful sound. Just talking with them and remembering funny things and we all get laughing.....it's a wonderful sound. As I was coming in from picking vegetables in our garden I watched as 2 of my kids sat on the lawn together just playing and having a good time. They burst out laughing at nothing really, but I had to just stand and watch and enjoy. What precious treasures children are in our lives, if we just sit back and enjoy. Here are a few pictures of my little treasures that just make me smile!

Working on earning his Eagle!

Just recently Gavin was able to earn 11 merit badges at a Boy Scout Court of Honor. He has been working really hard to earn all the merit badges needed for him to receive his Eagle Scout award. Some of the merit badges he was awarded that night were from quite a while ago, but a bunch of them he earned at Scout Camp. Gavin just finished up his Eagle project, and is now in the process of filling out all of the paper work. For his project he put in bumper guards at a local camp ground to designate where people should park. Several camp spots had deep ruts that people would get stuck in during the rainy season. His project went well and he had quite a few boys come to help him out. Way to go Gavin, keep up the hard work.
