HE DID IT!!!! We had Jaden's Eagle Court of Honor on Sunday! It turned out perfect. I couldn't believe the turn out we had! It was great to have so much support. Jaden was really shocked when our great friends from West Jordan showed up, that really made his night. And special thanks to all of our family that made a special effort to celebrate this accomplishment. It really meant a lot to jaden. Bruce and I were able to plan the whole court of honor, so we really tailored it around jaden and what he loves. I have to tell the details.....Jaden has always had a special place in his heart for the Military and he has always loved the American Flag. A friend of Bruce's sang the Star Spangled Banner, man can he sing....AMAZING! We made special arrangments to have an American Flag flown over the Nation's Capitol in Jaden's name in recognition of him receiving his Eagle Award. Then we asked some of our local military do the flag ceremony, they were so accomodating, they were awesome, they also presented Jaden with the flag that was flown over the Capitol. It was really neat to see how excited he was. Jaden knew nothing about those details, so it was pretty special. These Young Men work so hard to earn this award....it is quite an accomplishment. Already jaden's brothers Riley and Colten are well on their way. Riley should have his Eagle real soon and Colten is already a 1st Class, pretty exciting. CONGRATS J!

We are so proud of him! We actually tried calling on Saturday and today and haven't been able to get ahold of you guys. :( We thought about stopping by Sunday on our way home from Bear Lake, but we left on Saturday because I wasn't feeling well.
