What a night! Last night was Chase's Court of Honor in Brighton. Evan is currently somewhere in Tennessee, so he missed it! But, the kids and I made it with plenty of time for Chase to be in the Color Guard. He is getting to the age where he is starting to care about the way he looks...and last night it took him 15 minutes to get ready! Usually, he just throws on whatever he can find, buttons it half way, slips on two different socks and then slides on his sandals (cause they are the easier to put on, he says). Not last night! So, not only did he get himself all spiffy, but he earned one merit badge (Fingerprinting...Evan's idea for a fun one at merit badge college)! We have around 6 mostly finished...but not in time for last night. I currently work in the stake with the cub scouts, so this merit badge stuff is a bit tough for a simple girl like me. So much to go and do, think about, track, measure, record, etc. Chase is our guinea pig...poor kid. His Scoutmaster (the big blonde guy in the pics), Eric, told a story of how Chase stepped in a frozen puddle next to his tent at their campout a few weeks ago. His feet were freezing! When Chase went to change socks, he realized that he only put in ONE pair...so what did he do to improvise? He wrapped his two extra pair of underwear around his feet! When he showed his leaders, they bust out laughing! Who wouldn't laugh at seeing a tall, skinny boy with two pair of tighty whities wrapped around his ankles! SO CHASE!!
I just wanted to write about how proud we are of Chase's efforts and how he never complains about doing his scout stuff. He had a great night last night. And he is looking forward to the Scout Ski Trip they are taking in a few weeks! GO CHASERS!

I can't believe what a cute guy he's turning into, and so fast. Good job Chase! I'm so proud of him. I worked in scouts too, you're a great mom for it. The record keeping and tracking is tough but I learned a lot from it. Makes me respect all those leaders like you that my boys will be taught by!
Yea Chase!!! Love him! He is such a good young man with an amazing loving heart! If you feel like sending to me for some summer weeks i would love it! Tell him I am so proud and congrats! I will have to send him a card so I can tell him myself! Love you.
Congrats Chase. I think scouts is such a good thing. Chad learned a lot in it.
