Awesome Autumn

Great fun at the North Carolina State Fair. They all got a taste of their first giant turkey leg as well as lots of rides and plenty of walking around. I always have to go see "SMOKEY the BEAR". My girls are quickly catching up to me in height. But mama is the queen bee no matter how tall you get!

Grateful For the Gospel

This time of year is so wonderful to me. I love the change of seasons and the opportunity to partake in General Conference. My soul and spirit are filled with such peace and joy as I partake in the spirit from the wonderful talks,music, and prayers. It makes me so very grateful to have the knowledge of the gospel in my life. This past month I have been so very busy in many opportunities to serve. From attending the temple to consoling a sister who had lost her husband I have been strengthened and know without a doubt that serving is what the Savior would have us do. I continue to work hard to correct my short comings and repent for my mistakes' but knowing that I have the gospel there to lean on and learn from I know that all will be well. Thank goodness for the gospel!!

August So Fast?????

Where the heck did July go? I will say this, it has been the hottest July that I can remember. I sure hope August is not this hot. I am excited for a bit of change forth and coming. Caroline and Melanie will continue with home school for this school year. Caroline will be in 10th grade and Mel in the 8th. Hannah will be in 5th grade and little Kimberly will start kindergarten. It will be somewhat quiet but not much around the house. I also have a new calling as the Young Women's president in our ward. I am looking into joining a home school group for the girls. Busy, busy, busy but it is all good. My Father in Heaven continues to help me along the way.

June Happenings

So far this summer has been very busy for the Ginn's. We have had a jammed packed June but hopefully July will be a little more calm.

The girls had a great recital . Melanie and Caroline played piano pieces and Hannah played the violin. They all did a super job. They all have talent.

This is the Father's Day gift that was handed out after sacrament meeting to the fathers. The hamburger is made of brownies, a cupcake sliced in half for the bun. She used red and yellow and green icing for the condiments. For the fries she used sugar cookies cut into strips. AWESOME. Sister Junker our Primary President made these.

Happy Birthday Caroline Elizabeth! Wow 15 years old this month. She shares her birthday with cousin William. Next year the big 16!! Papa and Aunt Amy made the cakes. Grandma would be proud!

I couldn't resist this picture. She gets her permit this week. Please pray for her mama!!!

Check out these yummy vegetables that I grew in my garden so far this summer. I have a half and acre of corn on the way!

Girls Camp was WONDERFUL as usual this year. I was asked to cook again but this time had to plan all of the meals and purchase the food for 120 people. I also had a presentation on the temple with a cute craft for 100 girls. Caroline took a few fun pictures.

Whew!! BRING ON JULY!!!

Random Pictures at Springtime

The girls on Easter Sunday.

I loved this black and white of Kimberly.

Caroline will definately be short like her mother. MaKayla E. and Chelsea E. and Caroline are ready for a formal church dance. They looked quite nice!!!

Caroline does not like wearing dresses. She would prefer a skirt and blouse. I talked her into this fancy dress for the dance. It really looked great on her.
