Matt the EAGLE

We are very proud to have three Eagle Scouts in our family, Kim, Tyler, and Matt. Wednesday, Oct. 3rd is Matt's eagle court of honor. We know there are a lot of you that would like to be there but can't. You'll be there in spirit. Matt has actually had his eagle paperwork for over a year, but we were waiting on another boy in the ward to finish so that they could have a joint court of honor. We decided a year was long enough to wait and that we would have Matt's separately. Matt truly does exemplify the values of scouting. Just this Sunday one of the widowed ladies in our ward asked Kim and I if Matt could help her move a friend because in her words, "If Matt is helping, I know it will get done." He has a reputation for being cheerful, helpful and capable. Matt is in his senior year and has already passed three AP exams. He loves to read and remembers everything he reads, even the smallest detail. He is continually amazing me with his profound insights. He is on the seminary council. We are so proud of you Matt!!!

Buddies

After several years of saying we weren't going to get another dog, one day Kim called me and asked how I would feel if he brought home a dog. Surprised, I said sure if he and Hyrum would take care of him. This little guy kept hanging around the school and nobody knew who he belonged to. Just a little Res (reservation) dog that nobody claimed. He tugged on Kim's heart strings and Kim couldn't help himself. Well, now he is the newest member of the family (just squeaked in there ahead of TW , or should we say "Cleone"). He is awfully cute and pretty well behaved for a puppy. Hyrum is taking very good care of him and they are fast becoming buddies.

First ever Broby Family Reunion

I know that our family reunion was almost a year ago, but I thought it was memorable enough to be the first posting on our blog. Because of our childrens' urging, we decided we needed to begin having family reunions for the Kim Broby Family. It probably has something to do with the fact that our children grew up looking forward to the Jackson Family Reunion every 4th of July. It was where family ties were strengthened, adventures were gone on, and love abounded. We hope to build lots of great family memories with our Broby Family Reunions. Our first reunion was a two day affair. The first day was at Disneyland and the second day was at Huntington Beach with the Taylor Family and the Newman/Shields Family. We had a great time and look forward to our next reunion. It was suppose to be in Hawaii this year because Jenny was going to be there but she kind of put the nix on that, but that's another story.

Another Story

Okay, here's the other story, Tyler Weech, soon to be a member of the family. Jenny and Tyler came home for the weekend and Tyler got roped into helping Kim trim trees the Broby way. Notice the harness. Yes, we had him swinging from a rope 30ft. up with a chainsaw, no make that 2 chainsaws. Welcome to the fam, Tyler W.
