Joy

How many of us have Joy? Feel Joy? Bring Joy to our family's, friends, people we enter act with and most important to you have Joy with yourself? This has been something I have loved in my life and have had a hard time in doing at times. My struggle is Joy with myself. Well in General Conference I was thrilled to hear about Joy, Laughter, Prayer and love. We as women might struggle with sadness at times. Pres. Monson's Talk in the Conference issue this month on Finding Joy in the Journey is fabulous. Please read it and find Joy. Recharge your mind and batteries and you will find that many things are not so bad. With inner Joy come Smiles and Laughter. ~ just a bit from my heart ~ My dear Jason viewed the blog while I was on the phone and was reading my Joy story. It was pretty funny. He was wondering if she was another sister and if she was lost. I guess I joyed yawl to much. I'm just full of JOY!! I love you Babe!

The girls wanted to learn the Needle. Here I am teaching them to Crouche. It was fun. They had chains everywhere. A tip from Daddie. Amber was to Crouche a Beenie hat fot her Excellence project. I was curious on how to teach her since she is left handed. I mentioned this to dad and he said to sit in front of her and she would mirror me. It worked like a charm. Thanks Daddie.

Here is my Sweetie and me. He is my anchor. We love spending time together as much as possible. He is very supportive of my projects and silliness. I love him for that. Jason allows me to be me and I do the same for him. He is my Best friend and my love. His patients with me is wow. Everyday I marvel at is patients. He is so good to me. I love him so very much.

We love all our kiddies and we enjoy there different personalities. The teen world is upon us now and it full of drama. My advice to all those with tater tots. Cherish your little ones. They grow so quick. I still remember mine as babies and its warming but I get the reality check the they are wanting Space. :( So Jason and I just smile and love them even more. They all are good children with greatness in them. We are blessed to have a good set of kids and a strong family that loves each other. Even though the kids with state other wise to look cool. Its the age.

Easter o8. Can you tell what they were going to ask the easter bunny? Yeup! They wanted another pet. I say another pet for we already have a farm going minus a few chickens and goats. The Easter bunny did drop off one surpirse. A bunny names Checker. He died. Austen and Tanner are really into the boy life. Guns hunting trail riding. Its good to have them active OUSIDE. It is always fun to see how they will come in however. Tanner seems to be wet from Toe to Shirt. Austen Wet from Shirt to Knee. Really I would like to see how this can be. The boys were targeting birds and when I found this out I had to put a stop to that. I'm quite fond of Tweeties so I mad them a target in several areas. Jason and I try to teach the boys how to use their weapons and hold them. They are doing better. The Air soft guns are another story.

Austen is taking is sniper or elk shooting move. He looks so Handsome.

Tanner is ready to take out the big black Bear in Alaska. He is steady and ready. Good Lookin.

Welcome to Austen's world. He never thought he would be shorter than a Lego man. He thought he was taller than is toys. Well to his suprise that was not the case. In Five Points here in Columbia was a toy shop and he mad that comment. We still giggle about it today. He says "give me a year and we will go back and see if im taller." He has sprouted a good bit since.
