Our first day of Joy School!

Some of my good friends/neighbors decided to start a Joy School for our little ones! The 1st one was at my house and I made our basement into a little pre-school area. It is so much fun, I love the Joy School curriculum.

Here is our little Joy School house, rule pictures, and Joy Boy!

My new hair cut! yikes!

Cool! You can see my haircut and not my face!

Me with my 3 favorite MTC District Elders!

Wow, has it really been 10 years???

So Elder Ruban Rebalkin (the one in the Tux) just got married and Elder Jeremy Hill (the one in turquoise) had a little party for him! Ruban is from Canada, so it was so cool to see him! Elder Christopher Loper (on the Left) also came, and it was sooooo good to see him again! These 3 made the MTC (missionary training center) so much fun!! I love them!

We went ice skateing for fun!!

Even Zeke can slide around!

Josiah's 1st day of 2nd grade!!
