Tornado Drill (Friday before they called school)

This past week they canceled school on Monday due to high winds and a tornado advisory. We were actually under a tornado warning for most of the afternoon but nothing hit. 

This NC weather is insane!

Joshua 15 Stats

Joshua has the biggest heart of anyone we know.  He has such a tender spirit and always strives to be that solace in times of need.  We rely on him; maybe a little too much at times, and he always delivers.  He loves his family fiercely and loves being affectionate.  He loves the color orange and blue, love Fast and the Furious (anything with awesome cars), SPORTS are this kids life, and he cannot wait to drive!  He looks good in his Sunday suit and wears his priesthood with pride.  And this kid can EAT...boy can he eat, and does anything!  We love our lil bity (who is the tallest in our family) and we are so glad to call you ours.

Zoey (VIDEO)

 I have been putting this off for awhile. Shortly before my Mom left, she received a call that she was dreaded to get. After 14 wonderful, full, and special years, it was time to say goodbye to Zoey. She was my Mom’s dear companion and became such a solace for her during some trying times. She became such a comfort and the constant. She was such a good girl and we will miss her so so much! 

Losing a pet is SO hard! Hope she is playing with Buck, Irish, Magic, and Eva;) (just to name a few)

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
