Eagle Court of Honor

Saturday, June 11 was Cody's Eagle Court of Honor.  The Court of Honor was also for 3 other boys in our ward, Brad Mulcock, Haydn Waite, and Daniel Gourdin.  Getting this together was a long time in coming.  We tried for months to get this together and finally decided that the weekend after graduation would work the best because all the families would be down for the graduation anyway.  We held the court at the Stake Center in the Relief Society Room and then had a light dinner in the cultural hall.  Mark Prisbrey conducted the meeting and Kent Barlow was the speaker.  With the huge help of my brother I put together a power point video of the boys and their projects.  After each boy received their Eagle pins from their moms, and pinned their mom and dad pins on their parents, they were able to give a pin to a mentor. Cody chose to give his pin to Uncle Chris Gessel.  It was very sweet and very unexpected.  After the ceremony we moved to cultural hall for a dinner of sub sandwiches, potato salad, frog eye salad, beans, chips and pumpkin chocolate chip cookies.  For the decorations in the cultural hall we borrowed Bill Belcher's great flag collection and Wendy Mulcock made the table displays of balloons, flags and red, white and blue table cloths and napkins.  All the moms put this together and it turned out great.
