Real Life according to my daughter! If only ice cream could get us though all of life’s hurdles! Faith drew this to send in to a magazine, and I, of course, thought it was super cute. I love getting these visual glimpses into her life. She loves to draw. I look forward to seeing her… [continue reading]
A Trick on My Sister
Hi! I’m Joy, and I’m ten years old. This photo is when me and my sisters were little. I’m in the middle. Once when we were much younger, Grace, Faith and I asked to go out in the back yard. It had just rained so Mom said, “I’ll think about it.” Then Mom made up… [continue reading]
Homeschool Christmas Program 2014
One of the things I love about homeschooling is getting to send them to school once a week. Ha! I really do look forward to their one day a week “school.” This is our (gasp) seventh year to have our kids attend. I love that they get to be a part of classes like music,… [continue reading]
Fun with water
While we were gone the kids had fun too with my niece Skylar Ashley who flew in to stay with our children while we were on an Alaskan cruise. Here is the last of her adventures with my kiddos, well at least the ones that she’s shared anyway. All-in-all I think she and the kids… [continue reading]
And more from while we were gone…

A dinner date with my daughter at the Olive Garden
It is our tradition to go on an overnight date with each daughter every two years from the time they turn eight. Faith ended up getting her turn a little late. It seemed like every time we planned to go something would come up prohibiting our departure, but we finally made it work. We were… [continue reading]
Happy 13th Birthday Faith!
I’m not sure what I can’t get over the most. The fact that Faith is that old (13) or that we’re that old! Yes, I’m saying it again, I can’t believe we have a teenager in the house! It’s been 13 years since that night in the hospital when I realized…I’d never sleep through a… [continue reading]
Braces are taking over
Faith’s got braces!! I love them on her. It’s like she’s got bling! Now three out of four of us Irish girls have braces and my seven year old Grace is feeling very left out. “I want braces!” she proclaims. Ha ha! I think she will be that lucky as she also has inherited my… [continue reading]
Puppy Love
Wow how our little Stormie dog has grown since we brought him home from Christmas break! He is so much fun, but not what I had planned, at all. I thought I was bringing home a puppy for me. At first my main concern was how he would get along with Sandy. I knew we… [continue reading]
End of Basketball Season
The end of basketball season for the girls was bitter sweet. I loved going to each of their games and cheering them on. It was so fun to see how much learned in just a few short weeks. But it was an extremely busy time too with practice and games three nights out of the… [continue reading]
