Scotto




Happy Birthday

SCOTTO 


On May 24th we attended 198th Infantry Brigade Graduation.  Scott had completed his training at the United States Army Maneuver Center of Excellence in Ft Benning, GA.  Because it was the Memorial Day weekend, the ceremony was especially meaningful.  The graduation was two days.  The first day was the “Turning Blue Ceremony”. Mack shared this link on his Facebook  page :

The Infantry Blue Cord is presented to all qualified infantryman in the U.S. Army at the end of their Initial Entry Training. Officers commissioned into the infantry receive their Blue Cords at the end of the Infantry Officer Basic Course (IOBC)

Mack was there to put the blue cord on Scott at the  “Turning Blue Ceremony”.


It is hard to believe he earned his 10 years ago. 

The Infantry Graduation takes place at the National Infantry Museum. We had the opportunity to spend some time there when we visited Scott for Family Day. It was quite an experience.  You can learn and even experience through the eyes of a soldier  wars from 1898 to present. I really hope my dad can go there sometime.  He would love it.

We were honored to hear from Brigadier General David B. Haight for the Graduation and Memorial Day Ceremony.


They have taken grass from our countries different battle fields  
to have placed in the grounds here. 

You can see in the picture above.

Giving Thanks

I really can't believe it is November.  
Like never before I feel excited to celebrate this month of "Thanksgiving".  
Last month I did THIS post

EveryDay Thanksgiving


… where I shared some of my favorite talks and quotes on gratitude.

I also mentioned this book that I had just finished reading.

You can find it  HERE.

This is the trailer:



We started a tradition  in our family with a
“Thankful Tree”.
During the month we write things we are thankful for on little leaves and then hang them on a wire tree.  It is so fun to watch the progression as the tree fills up with blessings! 
Even more rewarding is the realization of so many gifts from heaven.

I hope this month, so perfectly timed before celebrating the birth of our Savior,
we can all do something in our lives and in our homes that will encourage


Happy Month of 
Thanksgiving !

Marci Made Me Famous!
If you having been reading along with me for awhile you know, I live "famously" through my kids!


Just a sampling of the many posts!

Well back to the famous bit... 


Marci has this incredible Menu Blog that I totally rely on now.  She finds amazing recipes and has posted about many of our family favorites as well.

She spotted our "Miner Marinade" recipe at
Real Mom Kitchen!

Okay, okay, so I'm not mentioned but my recipe should count for something. (right?)
