Silver Beaver

I was honored to be presented with the Silver Beaver Award from the Great SW BSA Council. This is my 23rd year in Scouting. I'm a Wolf Den Leader again - just where I started at the beginning when I was Dawson's leader!

The award was presented at the Council Volunteer luncheon on Sat. Feb. 21st. The Council Pres., Paul Sowards, presented my award. He was our Bishop when we first moved to Albuquerque and remains a good friend. I helped his three sons with their Eagle projects.

At our February Cub Pack Mtg, the Pack gave me a special plaque they had made. All the cubs and leaders had signed the back. It's great! One of my 8 yr. old scouts was so cute - when they said I received a Silver Beaver he asked to see my beaver - thinking it was a real beaver.

Barrett and Grandpa Alan

Can you believe Barrett is 6 years old? We just got back from Denver where we celebrated with him. It was fun. In the picture Katalina is lighting the candles on the Transformer Mountain cake. He blew them all out in one breath!



We went to the neighborhood park and had a marshmallow war with marshmallow shooters!

I took a box of Dawson's old toys up for Barrett. He wanted to make sure he got everything out of the box so he climbed inside to play.

Kat got a dress up box of Hannah Montana costumes from Aunt Alisha!








We call this - "Dancing for Breakfast!"
