2012 June through August

 We started our summer off with VBS and a girls' beach trip!!!  



 We also had a baby shower for Caleb!



 HUGE cucumbers!!!!  Jack was very impressed!!  (We obviously had to throw these out!!!)

Jonny worked for Jay at Gibson Paving all summer!  So thankful for his work ethic and determination to provide for his family.

 My Bible Study girls at Westminster--Debbie Frazier, Anne Walker, Robin Reed, Ann Correll, and Debroah Perry!  I didn't realize this would be our last study together!  :(




Home to spend time with Grandma and Granddaddy!!! Joy LOVES her Grandma!!!!
We took a trip to visit "Great-Great Grandma and Great-Great Grandpa!"  Ha!
We had such a fun time together!


 Sweet hugs!!!

We even spent some fun time with Grandmother!! Who was especially spunky this day!!!




 Grandmother's 90th Birthday Party!!!!!  Love her!!!
 A visit home for the West Reunion!!
We got to see Al baptize Luke!  So precious!!

The kids have taken over!!!!
 Harvest Time!!!


 
 Jonny got off early one day, so we went to Slayden Baptist to play on their playground with the kids!
 I love this picture!!!  So sweet!!!


 The shed is coming along!!

Jonny's work clothes had to dry on the porch due to all the tar...and then I wouldn't let them back in the house for fear of spiders!!!  :)

 Our best garden yet!!!

 Smiths came over to spend the night!!  We found a baby turtle!  She was a hit!
Could this be our long-lost Shellamina!?

16 Happy Years of Marriage!!!!  So thankful for this wonderful man!


More progress!!!  Jonny worked so very, very hard this summer with Jay and on this shed!! Can't believe we made it through the summer......!!!


AND he worked on the garden!!!!  


At the end of July, I had my friend, Kathy Cox, take our family pictures down by the Mississippi River in Memphis.  It was SO HOT and HUMID!!!  But we got some really cute shots!!!



 







 When we got this picture back, we were in complete awe!  This was such a rare thing---a full-on smile from Joy!!!  Now they are much, much, much more common!!!!  So thankful for this heart change!!!!!!  :)


 Happy, Happy Jack!!

 Finally finished another yearbook!!!!


 Had to get a picture of this!!!  Gave Jack a whole apple for lunch.....after lunch, this was all that was left!!!!!!!!  CRAZY BOY!!!

 First time Jack wrote his name!!! 

 I have no idea what happened here...but glad she is smiling anyway!!!  Whew!!

These kiddos love and miss their daddy!!!!!!!


 We bought a new van--from the Carneys in August!!

 We took a birthday trip to Nashville to see the sites (the Dam, the Airport, the Aquarium restaurant) and then on to Chattanooga to stay at the Choo-Choo, eat ice cream at Clumpie's, ride the carousel, and visit the aquarium!!  Such a fun, fun trip!!!  We ended up in Huntsville visiting Johnna's family!



 We even got to meet Baby Caleb!!!









 When we came home we had ANOTHER party for our sweet Jack with our  Memphis family!!!!
They got a pretty fun present this year too...a teeter-totter that spins!!!!  So fun!!!!!
