Joy Update!

I can't believe my Joy is 3 months old. 

This sweet little Cellie Joy has seriously brought more joy to our lives than I can even express.
  It's amazing how every time you have a baby or a grand baby you swear this one is the
 BEST of the BEST.  
Welllllllll let me just say that it is true
 EVERY SINGLE TIME
 and this time is no exception. 

 I used to the think the more kids you had the more help you had, and this is true,

 but what is even more fun is,

 the more kids you have the more people you get to share your 

JOY

 with. 

I even catch Goose (Kole) getting a kick out of her.  This morning he had her giggling and he was laughing as hard as she was.

Reece and Mik both ended the school year with an award.  These 2 boys are the 2 that don't care much for school and they ended so strong. 
 I could not be prouder than I am of these 2. 
 I know what they did, and accomplished did not come easy for either one of them and they buckled down and did it. 
 Their abundance of energy makes it difficult to focus at school and they really have to work extra hard at staying on task. 
Mik got an award from one of his teachers and Reece got an award from his Principal.   

Luke and Mik both made All-Stars! 
 It is so much fun once again to watch brothers play on the same team.

Esther and Kennedy have been best of friends since day one and they got to take a little trip to Wyoming together and it was a win win win for all. 
 These girls really do bring out the best in each other.
And that is the BEST kind of friendship.

Women's Bible study has started! 

 YES YES YES!!!!

  There is no better way for me to keep my head and heart in the game, than to get in the Word with a bunch of women every week.

Colossians 1:10-12New International Version (NIV)

10 so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, 11 being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, 12 and giving joyful thanks to the Father,who has qualified you[a] to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light.

There ya have it....Summer so far!
