Rickey's Eagle, Aaron's Baptism, & Family Reunions

What a joy for Rickey to get his Eagle award--finally!!! He finished his eagle project almost 2 years ago, then we left to Spain and forgot all about the details of finishing the paperwork & getting the award. Rickey's cousin, Isaac waited for us so they could get their awards together. We awarded it during the Shumway Family reunion out in Duchesne in July.

Look at these handsome eagle scouts! (Has Jeff shrunk?)

Nine in the Eagles nest. (including Aaron, Asher, Austin, & Doug)

Merrilli, Isaac, and Darwin with us.

We love Scouts!!!! (most of the time, that is)

Shumway Family July 2009 Family Reunion

Grandma Shumway, Jeff and Spencer enjoying a ponderous moment.

Spencer dancing with Grandma Merrill

Spencer catching fish on the pontoon at Strawberry Reservoir.

Rachel and Kathy enjoying a rare few hours visit.

Morgan was Max in the Sound of Music and we all enjoyed watching the play under the stars in Midway. Morgan was amazing.

We loved doing Baptisms for the Dead with the whole Shumway crew at the Provo Temple.

AARON'S BAPTISM

Aaron was so lucky to have THREE Grandma's present at his baptism. He was hoping for a beach baptism, but that wasn't to be. He chose Spencer to baptize him and Jeff confirmed him.

Timothy is Aaron's little Twin. He's a spitting image of Aaron's baby pictures.
