Yesterday was an incredibly memorable day for Marshall and our family. First of all, Marshall was awarded his Duty to God award in Sacrament Meeting. Major accomplishment in and of itself.
After our church services, Marshall was ordained an Elder by his dad. That was a great experience also. Great things are in store for this young man. I look forward to seeing him perform all of his duties - especially as he serves with his trademark smile! Rich and Marshall are shown with Bishop Coleman. What a great friend he has been for Marshall!
And then...that evening was his Eagle Court of Honor. Marshall earned his Eagle rank back in May, so we are just barely getting this in before he takes off this coming Saturday. Again, that trademark smile! He was pretty excited about his marble cake.
Afterwards, the "boys" heading home in the Jeep! Sunglasses when it's dark outside? Come on, Rich!!
That's my boy, Marshall. Wish all of the other kids could have been here on his special day. We did use several items, including all of those flags, that we used in Chris' Eagle Court of Honor. Thanks, Jennifer, for tracking them down. Definitely a day to remember!

Thanks for the "positive" comment, Katie! That's one of my all-time favorite pieces of music as you well know. There's so much to it. Turn off your volume girlfriend if you don't like it! By the way, Sarah is trying to figure out how to get it incorporated into the marching band program next year.
