And the winner is...

Bekah for being the most beautiful Scoggins girl while pregnant! (Sorry Ray).  My sis looks gorgeous.  Sweet Edith Joy will be here in mid August and I can't wait to have another niece.  While we were on vacation she let me take a few pictures of her and I loved capturing her glow.  

My crazy brother

I love both my crazy brothers.  I am absolutely blessed to have them.  They are always ready to pick on me, attempt to make me pee my pants, laugh until I cry, and show me love.  While we were at the lake JohnMark had a brilliant idea to see if Will could go as fast and as crazy as possible on the seadoo while pulling JohnMark.  He was determined not to be thrown off.  And he stayed on.  Amazingly, even while going sideways, he remained victorious.  

The lake!

We were given the AWESOME opportunity to spend a few days at the Colleys lake house in mid June.  It was such a relaxing much needed vacation!  My kids were like fish - spending as much time as possible on and in the water.  We rode Seadoos, ate lots of food, early celebrated my birthday, and played with all the kiddos.  We made lots of memories and got lots of new material to play off of each other with.  I love my family.  It warms my heart to no end to get to hang out with them.  

My birthday wish

Tomorrow is my birthday!  I love my birthday entirely too much. And this year I want for you to help me pray for the present I want - a buyer for our house!  Last Saturday marked a month since our last showing. We are keeping our hopes up, and know the right buyer will come, but sometimes being patient is not my strong suit (my sister is laughing - patience is rarely my strong suit). So help pray with us for a buyer to come buy our house!!

June!

June is flying by!!  The kids had their last day of school on the 10th. We were able to go to their awards ceremonies and beamed like the proud parents we definitely are. Ella got the citizenship award. A bit of history - the citizenship award is what we consider to be the best award given. Because it is given to the student with the best behavior all year. You can learn a whole lot at school, but if you can't show kindness what is it all for?  So we are ridiculously proud of Ella. Noah received ALL As!!!!  Which got him a fantastic certificate. And he received the reading award for his class. The kids finished out an amazing school year. I can't believe Ella is a 1st grader and Noah is in 4th grade now!!  

The same weekend school ended we got to go to Hendersonville to celebrate uncle Gabes graduation from high school. It makes me feel so old to know Gabe has graduated!  He was only 6 when I came into this family.  We are super proud of him too!
