The most current events in our family have been the birthdays of Caden & Hunter. Caden turned the exciting age of 16 and Hunter turned 14! A word of warning to all drivers there is newly licensed young man in the Holmes household.
According to his Driver's Ed instructor he is an exceptional driver. That is always a good thing to hear as a Mom! His road test was quite an experience. He had 2 additional students testing on the same 2 days with him. Unfortunately, the young lady in the vehicle did not receive the same glowing report Caden did. The instructor and the other 2 students were all very relieved to reach solid ground and say a final goodbye to their car-mate. It was an eye-opening experience for Caden of 'what-not-to-do'!
Cade is now 16, legal to drive and date.
Hunter's birthday brought about the completion of a very large goal he had set for himself. When he turned 12 years old he set the goal to earn the rank of Eagle Scout before his 14th birthday. He is proud to say he achieved his goal. We are ALL very proud of him for this achievement! He had his Board of Review on Sept. 30th and was awarded his Eagle then. We celebrated with his Eagle Court of Honor on Oct 17th. He turned 14 the next day (yesterday).
This morning in the wee hours Hunter and Wade set off for the Teec Nos Pos Navajo Reservation in Arizona with our Aunt Zana to deliver, the approx 2000 books, he collected for their library. (pictures to follow-the camera is in Arizona)
There's still more birthday fun to be had with cake and ice cream & family!
Love you boys!!! I am so very proud of both of you and the young men you've both become!
